WELCOME

By Paul Boutros and Isabella Proia

We’re delighted to present our catalog for The New York Watch Auction: XI—our final live auction of 2024. Together with our wonderful team of international specialists, we’ve hunted the world to bring to market the very best collection of timepieces we could have hoped to curate. As ever, our commitment to offering highest quality collectors’ timepieces across a broad range of brands, eras, and price points will be immediately apparent as you browse through these pages.

Crowning our sale as the top, cover lot is a never-before-seen Philippe Dufour Grande & Petite Sonnerie wristwatch that is one of the most beautiful—and important—timepieces ever produced. Confirmed to be a unique piece featuring Dufour’s most elaborate case design, it is one of only three open dial models, out of eight total made, handmade by the revered independent watchmaker. Other exceptional vintage and modern watches we’re proud to present include a stunning Patek Philippe ref. 1518 in 18 karat pink gold, a Patek Philippe ref. 5531R-015 that is one of three made, an elusive and previously unseen Patek Philippe ref. 5711/1P-010 retailed by Tiffany & Co., and a most probably unique F.P. Journe Sonnerie Souverain.

We’re once again honored to host the second edition of TimeForArt in collaboration with Swiss Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to art education and the support of emerging international artists. Twenty-five unique timepieces were generously donated by leading watchmaking brands, whose timepieces were used as a blank canvas, free to create one-of-a-kind contemporary art pieces. All will be offered during a dedicated session on Saturday 7 December at 3pm EST, with 100% of proceeds, including Phillips’ buyer’s premium, benefiting Swiss Institute.

Finally, we’re thrilled to include a chapter featuring watches from the collection of Ben Clymer, the president and founder of Hodinkee, with five lots spanning exceptional vintage and modern watches he acquired over the past decade. Led by an extremely rare Patek Philippe ref. 2526 in 18 karat white gold, he shares with us the fascinating personal stories behind each watch, in the captivating prose that has made him such an important voice in our community.

We sincerely thank our consignors and clients who’ve entrusted us with their treasured timepieces and look forward to welcoming you at one of our many preview exhibitions around the world and of course to Phillips’ New York Headquarters on 7 and 8 December.

NEW YORK WATCH AUCTION: XI

SESSION 1

7 DECEMBER 2024, 10AM LOTS 1–80

ROLEX An attractive, sought-after, and well-preserved stainless steel wristwatch with bracelet, center seconds, turquoise blue lacquer dial, guarantee, and presentation box

Accompanied by Rolex guarantee card, instruction manual, product literature, hang tags, outer packaging, and fitted presentation box.

In 2020, Rolex unveiled new interpretations of its iconic Oyster Perpetual, featuring dials in a series of vibrant colors. Evoking the playful ‘Stella’ dials of Rolex’s past, the new models were available with lacquered dials in yellow, blue, green, coral, or baby pink. Much to the delight of aficionados with a predilection for vintage timepieces, the new Oyster Perpetual references were an immediate success, garnering substantial waiting lists at authorized Rolex retailers.

The present Oyster Perpetual 41 ref. 124300 features what is arguably the most coveted and desirable hue in the palette— “Turquoise” blue. The 41mm Oystersteel case and Oyster bracelet provide robust yet comfortable proportions, while the turquoise blue lacquer dial adds a spirited accent. Inside beats the self-winding cal. 3230. This in-house movement not only drives the central hour, minute and seconds hands with high precision, but also delivers an impressive 70-hour power reserve.

The discontinuation of the 41mm “Turquoise Blue” variant announced by Rolex in Spring 2022 renders the present wellpreserved example, complete with its full set of accessories, an opportunity for the astute collector to acquire this highly versatile and desirable timepiece.

ROLEX A fine and attractive stainless steel diver’s wristwatch with “spider” dial, bracelet, guarantee, original sales invoice, hang tag, and presentation box

Estimate

$5,000–10,000 •

€4,600–9,200

Accessories

Accompanied by Rolex guarantee dated December 17, 1985 and stamped Boodle & Dunthorne LTD, with secondary guarantee stamped Member of The National Association of Goldsmiths and dated December 17, 1985, original sales invoice, Rolex hang tag, green leather Rolex presentation box, two green leather wallets, product literature, polish cloth, and outer packaging.

Rolex’s reference 5513 is a benchmark for dive watches, and the watch that best epitomizes the Submariner line. Released in 1962, the Submariner 5513 was in production until 1989, enjoying a lengthy run of approximately 27 years. Throughout its history, the model evolved with various modifications and improvements, especially with respect to the dial. While the earliest examples of the reference featured glossy gilt dials with gilt writing, later examples featured matte black dials, and near the end of its production, Rolex replaced the matte black dial variant with a glossy black dial featuring white gold bordered luminous indices. These glossy examples were produced until the reference was discontinued.

The present example from 1985 features the last dial variant, which over time, formed “spider” lines throughout the glossy lacquer. These small fissures are often subtle and often found on Rolex watches from the 1980s in particular the Submariner and GMT-Master. They have become a desirable trait for collectors of vintage timepieces offering the watch a unique trait since no two watches with “spider” lines will be the same. It is an added dimension to the authenticity and history of the watch.

This reference 5513 is well-preserved and complete, accompanied by a suite of accessories including the original guarantee and invoice from Boodle & Dunthorne LTD. Rolex’s Submariner is an iconic dive watch, and this lovely example is a perfect addition to any collection.

Accompanied by a Rolex International Warranty dated December 22, 2015, confirming the lapis lazuli and diamond-set dial, green leather fitted Rolex presentation box, two Rolex hang tags, product literature, and outer packaging.

Rolex’s Day-Date is one of the most iconic and recognizable wristwatches in the market today. First launched in 1956, it revolutionized horology with an elegant timepiece featuring an innovative day and date display. The original references 6510 and 6511 were replaced by the famed reference 1803 in 1959 with a sporty 36mm diameter case, fluted bezel, and gold President bracelet, and offered in yellow, white, and rose gold, and platinum. In 1977, Rolex introduced a new generation model with the caliber 3055 with quickset date, which was upgraded again in 1988 with the caliber 3155, allowing quick set for both the date and day.

The present reference 118239 is a highly collectible and sought after version of the model, made circa 2015. The white gold case and bracelet have a luxurious, refined, and sophisticated appearance. The watch retains the classic 36mm diameter with fluted bezel along with a selection of dial types from black, silver, white and champagne to exceptional hard stone dials like the present example with a lapis lazuli dial and diamond-set hour markers.

The present Day-Date is offered by its original owner, accompanied with all of its accessories including the guarantee confirming the lapis lazuli and diamond-set dial. The lovely dial complements the white gold case offering an elegant and sophisticated look that is as wearable during the day or night. The reference 118239 is highly sought after in the market as one of the most desirable Day-Date models offered by Rolex.

THIS LOT IS OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

VACHERON CONSTANTIN A very fine and attractive stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with horned lugs, tachymeter scale, and presentation box

Manufacturer Vacheron Constantin Year Circa 2020

Reference No. 5000H

Estimate

$15,000–30,000 Σ •

€13,800–27,700

Accessories

Accompanied by a Vacheron Constantin fitted presentation box and Poinçon Genève metal hang tag.

Introduced in 2015, and offered only in platinum, the Cornes de Vache from Vacheron Constantin’s Historiques collection is based on the iconic vintage reference 6087, manufactured in 1955. The moniker ‘Cornes de Vache’, meaning ‘bull’s horns’, reflects the flamboyant and powerfully curved lugs, present on both the vintage and this modern iteration. Twenty-eight examples in yellow gold are known to exist of the original reference 6087—the only vintage Vacheron Constantin with a screw-down case back and round chronograph pushers. It was in production for only about a decade, and was the last chronograph to be manufactured by Vacheron until 1989.

Vacheron Constantin offered a stainless-steel model like the present watch in 2019 as a sportier timepiece compared to the platinum and 18K pink gold versions. The Cornes de Vache is emblematic of the brand’s combined approach for technical craftsmanship and aesthetic design that is functional and artistic. The “horn” shaped lugs are instantly recognizable and still amazes the wearer as it did when first released in 1955. Much like the original reference 6087, the ornate architecture of the case complements the simplicity of the two-register layout perfectly, creating an elegant and classic profile.

The present watch is offered by its original owner, and is extremely well-preserved with hardly any signs of wear.

Launched in 1996, the Overseas collection by Vacheron Constantin was a direct descendant of the groundbreaking 222 introduced in 1977, inspired by the spirit of an active lifestyle and travel. The Overseas quickly became a cornerstone for the brand retaining the 222’s tonneau-shaped case and integrated bracelet accentuating the fluid case lines and heightening its sporty elegance. In 2016, Vacheron Constantin reimagined this flagship line by instilling a sense of modernity and luxury with a more refined design by Vincent Kaufmann.

The present boutique exclusive Vacheron Constantin 4520V is a striking example of this updated combination of luxury and modernity, featuring an 18K pink gold case and bracelet exuding sophistication. Its stunning blue dial, enhanced by a lacquered finish, creates a mesmerizing, eye-catching shine. Despite its all-gold construction, the watch maintains a sleek profile with a thickness of just 10.7mm, offering a sporty yet elegant aesthetic. With its innovative and convenient interchangeable strap system, the watch can be enjoyed on leather, rubber, and gold, providing bespoke looks to suit one’s lifestyle.

Presented here in excellent condition and directly from the collection of the original owner, this sought-after example retains all of its original accessories from when it was purchased in 2022.

Reference 15202 has become one of the most coveted watches of the past years. It was first introduced in steel and yellow gold cases in 2000, while retaining the 39mm case of the original “Jumbo” as well as the automatic caliber 2121, modernized with a more contemporary aesthetic featuring a “Grande Tapisserie” dial and sapphire caseback.

The “IP”—as the present watch is nicknamed by collectors (as a reference to the last two letters of its reference number meaning titanium and platinum)—represents the continuation, or according to some collectors the pinnacle, of this path. In its case, the collector finds the mix—as idiosyncratic as it is potent— of two opposing metals: ultra-light and technical titanium for the case and bracelet links and heavy and luxurious platinum for the bezel and central links. It is incredible how these two polar opposite metals manage to perfectly blend together for a supremely attractive final result.

The degradé ultramarine blue dial also represents a new tier of experimentation for the 15202 model, noticeably—but still discreetly—stepping away from the usual monochrome dark dials. Also in this case, the outcome packs an incredibly powerful aesthetic punch.

This timepiece has an unrestrained beauty and desirability, and its 250-piece limited production propelled collectors to the highest level of frustration: only the brand’s most important collectors were able to call one of these watches their own.

When Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut in the late 1990s, they showed remarkable audacity in introducing a timepiece that was well beyond even the Nautilus in terms of casual wearability. Not only was the rubber strap an unforeseen development in the industry, but the entire concept behind the watch was a step beyond what had previously been conceived as a sports watch coming from a house of high horology. The Aquanaut was meant to speak to a younger audience, thus somewhat shifting the overall perception of the company from extremely high-end and targeted to “old school” collectors, to a more contemporary, responsive brand which can cater to all types of clientele with varying lifestyles.

The foresight of the company indeed paid off, with the model now considered one of the most appealing products from Patek Philippe. Consequently, the brand expanded the offer from the first time-only pieces to more complicated models, like the chronograph reference 5968 introduced in 2018. With its orange accents of the chronograph hand and seconds markers it added a bit of levity and excitement to the collection.

In 2021 Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5968 with a white gold case and military green dial as a more lavish upgrade to the already popular stainless-steel model. The present example is one of only four known to the auction market. It is a luxurious flyback chronograph with a sporty and modern design. The present watch is offered in near new condition and offered complete with its original accessories.

In 1983, François-Paul Journe sought to emulate the legendary Antide Janvier by creating a pocket-watch using the resonance phenomenon, and 16 years later, he introduced his now-iconic Chronomètre á Résonance wristwatch. It was the world’s first wristwatch to use the resonance phenomenon, whereby the movement is composed of two independent balances, alternatively serving as an “exciter” and “resonator”. When in motion, the balances create the resonance effect and synchronously beat in opposition, naturally evening out each other’s discrepancies and permitting greater accuracy. Not only a wonderful tribute to technical watchmaking, the Chronomètre à Résonance can also be used as a dual time watch.

In production from 2000 to 2005, the first generation Chronomètre á Résonance (reference R), like the present lot, features a rhodium-plated brass movement and a 38mm diameter case.

According to reliable sources, between 70–80% of the production of -02 Resonances were cased in platinum, making a pink gold-cased -02 R exceptionally rare. Even rarer is the combination of a pink gold case with pink gold dial. In the past two decades, less than 30 pieces have appeared publicly, with the majority in platinum with white gold or yellow gold dials. Only five examples, of which the present lot is the fifth, in a pink gold case with pink gold dial, have appeared publicly in the past two decades.

The present lot, fresh to the auction market and bearing a richness of pink gold that is particularly sought after by connoisseurs, offers the rare opportunity of obtaining a historically important timepiece that has become one of the most important horological breakthroughs of the past decades.

At Watches & Wonders 2023, Rolex released an all-new, updated version of the Cosmograph Daytona in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Le Mans: the reference 126529LN. Instantly coveted, the “Le Mans” Daytona (a nod to the original name of the Daytona and honoring Rolex’s ties to racing) featured the updated movement and case architecture of the new standard production Daytonas, with a cheeky red flair to the ‘100’ on the bezel and matte white Art-Deco style subdials so evocative of the legendary exotic, “Paul Newman”-style dials of manually-wound Daytonas. Additionally, it was fitted not with the new caliber 4131, but the 4132, replacing the 12-hour counter for 24 hours—another clin d’oeil referencing the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

But less than a year later, Rolex would prove once again that the watch community shouldn’t take anything for granted. They would abruptly discontinue the reference 126529LN, resulting in an extremely limited production run.

Aside from the vintage racing twists on the design, the 126529LN also bears the hallmarks of the new generation of Daytonas: the new “perpetual” rotor, a sapphire caseback, metaledged ceramic bezel, and redesigned case.

Offered in barely-worn condition, and retaining all of its original accessories, this is the first instance of the 126529LN “Le Mans” to appear at public auction since its release and discontinuation (at the time of printing). As opportunities to acquire the watch at retail are no longer an option, this is one of the few chances to acquire this exquisite modern chronograph that looks to the past whilst it steps into the future.

PATEK PHILIPPE A fresh-to-the-market, brand new, and extraordinarily rare dual-time chronograph wristwatch with date, local/home indicators, bracelet, Certificate of Origin, and presentation box; retailed by Tiffany & Co.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus has cemented itself as horology’s preeminent sports watch icon, evolving over the years to incorporate highly coveted complications. Launched in 2014, the dual-time flyback chronograph ref. 5990/1A built upon previous beloved and coveted references, drawing cues from their designs and inspiration from their functionalities.

Powered by the caliber CH 28-520 C FUS, it ingeniously integrates the dual-time functionality of the Aquanaut Travel Time reference 5164 with an automatic flyback chronograph first seen in 2006 in the reference 5980. The case design similarly mirrors the bolder lines of the reference 5980, with seamlessly integrated dual time zone pushers on the “ear” sides, providing an uncluttered view that complements the Nautilus’ iconic silhouette.

The pink gold iteration of the 5990, succeeding the steel case and grey dial combination, was first introduced to the market in 2021 and instantly received praise for the luxurious pink gold case and bracelet and beautifully contrasting navy blue dial. It is the ultimate in luxury sports watches, and also the perfect travel companion with two essential complications.

PHILIPPE DUFOUR

An astounding, unique, and historically important white gold two-train minute repeating grande and petite sonnerie wristwatch with sapphire dial, hunter caseback, certificate, and presentation box; numbered 07

After years of working for other manufactures, notably Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, as well as restoring vintage and antique timepieces for auction houses and private clients, Philippe Dufour reached a decision that would change the course of modern watchmaking.

He decided to create watches under his own name. And when deciding what watch to make first, he thought “if you do something like everyone else, you cannot be recognized. When you are small, you must do something special to stand out.” And upon reaching this conclusion, he decided to stand out in a most spectacular manner—to create the first ever Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch.

Having already created five magnificent Grande and Petite Sonnerie pocket watches for Audemars Piguet between 1982–1988, Dufour moved to miniaturize his creation to spectacular effect. But his inspiration goes beyond modern times, and like the Duality, which draws on a double escapement pocket watch made in the 1930s, the movement architecture of Dufour’s Grande and Petite Sonnerie pocket and wristwatch is based on ébauches created by Louis Elisée Piguet in the late 19th century and other watchmakers from La Vallée de Joux.

Indeed, this inspiration from the past drives all of Philippe Dufour’s creations and the painstaking detail he dedicates to the finishing of movements. That includes the parallel Geneva stripes, the sharp points on the bridges made entirely by hand, anglage with deep interior angles, black polishing on the winding click, mirror-polished bevels and countersinks, and even the gilded gears have been finished so that no visible area hasn’t been treated to the most painstaking of hand finishing treatments. PHILIPPE

PHILIPPE DUFOUR An astounding, unique, and historically important white gold two-train minute repeating grande and petite sonnerie wristwatch with sapphire dial, hunter caseback, certificate, and presentation box; numbered 07

In 1992, after three years of strenuous work, calculating tolerances, designing bridges, gears and pinions, testing chimes and functionality, Philippe Dufour presented a world premiere: a Grande & Petite Sonnerie wristwatch in yellow gold, with grand feu enamel dial. Then, in 1999, Dufour would up the ante, so to speak, by introducing an exquisite sapphire dial option, so that the finishing of the movement is visible not only through the caseback, but the front of the dial as well.

Despite the extremely complex movement, Dufour made the watch easy to use. The crown is wound one way for the movement and the other way for the striking mechanism. Minute repeating is activated on demand by pressing a coaxial button within the crown. The desired sonnerie mode (Grande Sonnerie—HQ, Petite Sonnerie—QO, Silent—SI, and Strike—ST) is selected by positioning the two small sliding levers on the center case band.

An incredibly complex sonnerie system chimes the hours and quarter hours at every hour and every quarter in grande sonnerie mode, and in petite sonnerie mode, it chimes the hours and quarters only on the hour with only the quarters at the quarter hour.

Eight total ébauches existed, and to date, they have all been cased. Five examples are cased in white, yellow, pink gold, or platinum with grand feu enamel dials, and three examples feature sapphire crystal “open” dials to reveal the movement within.

Grande & Petite Sonnerie “Sapphire Unique Piece”

PHILIPPE DUFOUR

No other open dial Grande & Petite Sonnerie wristwatch has ever appeared on the market, and No. 07, the present watch, can be considered the most impressive example to exist. The case architecture is Dufour’s most elaborate and coveted—that of the earliest examples from the first run beginning in 1992, with a solid, hinged caseback and the switches that activate the sonnerie placed on the sides of the case, rather than switches on the bezel hidden by a hinged outer bezel. The present watch is the only example ever made with an open dial and hinged caseback, making it absolutely unique.

The layout of the unique dial, applied delicately in pink gold to the sapphire crystal, is decidedly more modern in appearance than other Dufour wristwatches. It is both unexpected and breathtaking, lacking the traditionalism and restraint of the grand feu enamel dials with elongated black Roman numerals, or even the guilloché dials found on the Simplicity wristwatches. The hours and minutes are depicted on the outermost portion of the dial with tiny arrow-like markers, with an Explorer-style layout of 12, 3, and 9 o’clock. The handset is a particular departure from the classic Breguet or faceted sword hands typically seen in a Dufour timepiece. They are far more curvaceous, no doubt to improve visibility against the gleaming steel and brass components underneath. Each handset is tipped with an arrow that perfectly echoes the hour and minute markers.

Such an incredible wristwatch is an unprecedented appearance and Phillips is honored to present another milestone of Philippe Dufour’s miniscule production. This uniquely configured Grande & Petite Sonnerie wristwatch with sapphire dial, cased in sumptuous white gold, is offered by the original owner who purchased it directly from Dufour in 2016, and is preserved in exemplary condition complete with its original certificate and presentation box.

The Dufour Grande & Petite Sonnerie is the rarest of all models ever made by Philippe Dufour, and was a milestone watch in the history of watchmaking. With the present unique example being the only one combining the early style hunter case and sapphire crystal “open” dial, it is most certainly amongst the most important timepieces ever produced, and an ultimate trophy watch to crown the world’s important collections.

In 2011, Journe released his Octa Sport line made in ultra-light aluminum, which was inspired by an important collector of the brand—a sportsman who sought a timepiece he could wear while completing a marathon or triathlon. Journe once again excited the watch world with his introduction of the next generation Octa Sport Automatique Réserve 2 in 2018 with three models: platinum with blue-mauve dial, 18K 6N gold with Ruthenium dial, and Grade 5 titanium with either anthracite or yellow dial, like the present example.

Sporting a racing yellow dial, the Octa Sport Automatique Réserve 2 is a lightweight mechanical marvel, weighing under 75 grams including the bracelet. Featuring a 44mm diameter case made in titanium with matching bracelet, it is 2mm larger than its predecessor, with the addition of a ceramic bezel insert. The dial features a power reserve at 10 o’clock, a bean-shaped aperture indicating day and night with a new gradient touch, an upsized date window with larger typography, and bolder hour markers with a modern black outline. Designed for optimal legibility, the timepiece is fitted with Journe’s in-house cal. 1300.3. Made of aluminum with an off-center winding rotor in titanium with tungsten barrel, it provides an impressive six-day power reserve.

Complete with its original accessories, and preserved in excellent overall condition, the present Octa Sport is a lighthearted yet technically impressive take on the modern luxury sports watch.

First launched in 1999, A. Lange & Söhne’s Datograph is widely regarded as one of the most finely crafted and beautiful chronograph wristwatches produced by a modern manufacture.

Due to its popularity, A. Lange & Söhne expanded the Datograph collection in 2006, introducing the platinum Datograph Perpetual at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH). The watch was only in production until 2011, and is highly desirable for its exceptional craftsmanship and iconic status in the horological world. The solid rhodium silver dial creates a pleasant monochromatic effect when paired with the 41mm platinum case. The hint of blue within the day-night indicator and the moon phase aperture provide a subtle complement to the blued steel hands found within the two sub-dials. The watch’s most impressive feat remains the contrasting elements of a delicate dial design and the striking weight of the case.

The present example from 2007 is in excellent overall condition and offered with its complete set of accessories. The first generation models, such as the present watch, available in platinum and white gold featured unique II, VI, X Roman hour markings on the dial, while the second generation in white gold and pink gold were updated with baton numerals. The Perpetual Datograph is one of the brand’s flagship timepieces and was only manufactured for a five year time span with very few being offered in public. The watch demonstrates the A. Lange & Söhne commitment to excellence in traditional watchmaking, and the historical significance of the brand reaching back over 175 years.

The Observatoire was introduced in 2007 and awarded “Best Men’s Watch” at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève that same year. It is estimated approximately only 50 examples were made before eventually being replaced in 2011 with the Vingt-8 model, featuring his new, in-house caliber 28. Powered by the caliber 260 from Peseux, an observatory-grade caliber from the mid-20th century, it is estimated only 3,300 examples of this movement were ever produced, never available for public purchase.

The heavily modified Voutilainen caliber is a breathtakingly beautiful and precise movement with extreme attention to detail.

The present variant features a rich caramel brown guilloché dial with a mixture of patterns creating incredible depths and tones. Decorated with elegant applied Roman numerals and blued steel Breguet-style hands, the timepiece has a quiet sophistication. A similar brown dial example was sold by Phillips Hong Kong in November 2021, and upon close inspection one notes small differences in the pattern and texture of the guilloché on the dial. The present Observatoire is preserved in excellent overall condition and is complete with its certificate and Swiss Maplewood presentation box made from the Guyenne palm tree.

Denis Flageollet and David Zanetta are known and appreciated for cutting edge innovation in 21st century horology. Rather than simply modifying or improving traditional techniques, the brand takes a precise mathematical and scientific approach with regards to the mechanical prowess, distinctive case architecture, and finishing of each watch. All this results in some of the most visually striking and masterful products in contemporary horology.

Released in 2010, the DB28 Collection features flexible, floating lugs, replacing traditional fixed lugs, and enabling a more comfortable fit for wrists. Another emblematic feature is the spherical moon phase found on several models providing a realistic, 3-D representation of the lunar cycle.

The Digitale model was released in 2014 as a modern reinterpretation of the jump hour mechanism first found on 19th century pocket watches. De Bethune created an advanced in-house movement with jump hour aperture, outer analogue rotating minutes disc, and spherical moon phase giving the model a fresh, contemporary appeal. The hand guilloché barleycorn motif references traditional Swiss watchmaking and complements the blued titanium case.

The present model is preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by all of its accessories. The DB28 Digitale is a statement piece that exemplifies the De Bethune philosophy of creating exceptional timepieces with avant garde design and innovative complications.

As much as F.P. Journe timepieces are known for pushing the technical boundaries of haute horlogerie, some of his most coveted timepieces possess simpler movements paired with audacious design elements. An example of this audacity is the Chronomètre Souverain “Holland & Holland”, a limited series of 66 watches first released in 2017.

Two historical gun barrels made of Damascus steel sourced from renowned gunsmith Holland & Holland’s own museum were made available as the focal point of an exquisite series of timepieces. Barrel number 7183 dating to 1882, the source of the present watch’s dial, produced 28 dials and is reflected in the reference number of the watch. The other barrel, number 1382, relinquished 38 dials and dates to 1868. Each barrel was cut, rolled flat and cut again to create the requisite thickness for a dial at Holland & Holland’s factory. Then, the artisans at F.P. Journe’s own dial maker, Les Cadraniers de Genève, cut the shape of the dial out of those pieces. These dials were then returned to Holland & Holland where they underwent a “browning” process similar to “blueing” of steel in watchmaking which emphasizes the unique curves and patterns in the steel.

Rarely ever are F.P. Journe timepieces cased in steel, but this was the only fitting material to showcase such a dial. The brainchild of a longstanding employee of F.P. Journe, William Newman, only existing Journe and Holland & Holland clients were invited to apply to receive one of these rare timepieces.

Housed in a 38mm stainless steel case, the present Tourbillon Souverain was part of an exclusive set of five limited-edition timepieces, created to commemorate the discontinuation of Journe’s early 38mm creations. While other pieces in the set share movements similar to their regular production counterparts, this tourbillon boasts a distinctive movement.

Early F.P. Journe tourbillons (1999-2003) featured conventional brass movements with the Remontoir d’Egalité, but without a dead-seconds complication. Paying homage to his original design, Journe masterfully combines both elements in this 2015 stainless steel tourbillon, resulting in a movement mechanically identical to the first-generation brass cal. 1498, but enhanced with pink gold bridges and base plate. This makes the 38-piece limited edition steel tourbillons remarkably rare and highly sought-after.

The dial, thoughtfully designed, elegantly highlights each feature without overwhelming the striking bronze-colored canvas. The one-second Remontoir d’Egalité is strategically aligned with the hour and minute display, suggesting its equal importance in the timekeeping function. Visible through a large aperture, it underscores its role as a critical complication, providing constant force to the escapement and balancing the power flow between the mainspring and escapement. The dual apertures invite the wearer to admire the intricate movement inside, complete with its impressive perlage finishes.

Numbered 31 out of a limited edition of 38 pieces, this Tourbillon Souverain offers connoisseurs a rare opportunity to own an exceptionally well-preserved and revered masterpiece.

Taking the tourbillon to new heights, the Pour le Mérite was the first wristwatch to feature the most precious fusée-and-chain transmission, a refined constant-force mechanism that was developed together with Renaud & Papi at the time. Used to equalize the mainspring’s power, a fusée and chain was used on all 12 historic Lange tourbillon pocket watches produced since the founding of the brand in 1845. This complication optimizes the rate accuracy of the watch. The most famous of these twelve tourbillons, the reference 41000 “Jahrhundertourbillon” was exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. The Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon is a direct descendent of the 41000, both technically and aesthetically, with the same finely constructed tourbillon carriage.

Exceedingly rare and important, the present ref. 701.001 is numbered 15 of the 150 timepieces made in yellow gold. A complete work of art, the Tourbillon Pour le Mérite from circa 1995 of the earliest batch appears not to have aged at all in the intervening nearly three decades since its production. Featuring a gorgeous, symmetrical two register dial surrounded by elegant Arabic numerals and railway track, the arched signature draws your eye to the elegant tourbillon aperture at 6 o’clock. The diamond capped steel tourbillon bridge contrasts harmoniously with the gold tourbillon carriage. Proudly marked “Made in Germany” to represent fine Saxon watchmaking, the inscription is in a sans serif typeface that are only found on early models from the brand, latter designs were later changed to the serif font Engravers MT that is similar to the brand’s logo.

Coming from the collection of an important collector of the brand, the present number 15 of 150 Tourbillon Pour Le Mérite is accompanied by Peter Chong’s “A. Lange & Söhne: The Pour Le Mérite Collection” tome, in undisputedly excellent condition.

PHILIPPE DUFOUR A refined, highly coveted, and extremely rare pink gold wristwatch with subsidiary seconds, Certificate of Origin, and presentation box

Often seen with a pipe in one hand, a loupe on his forehead, and watches strapped to either wrist, Philippe Dufour is, simply and unequivocally, a living legend of horology. Not only has he produced some of the finest hand-finished watches of the modern era, but he does so with no marketing, no self-promotion, each year creating a handful or so of the tiny masterpieces for which he has become so celebrated.

Following graduation from the Ecole d’Horlogerie in the Vallée de Joux, Dufour mastered his skills working for JaegerLeCoultre, Gérald Genta, and Audemars Piguet, specializing in complications. In 1992, as an independent watchmaker, he introduced the world’s first wristwatch with Grande and Petite Sonnerie.

The Simplicity model was introduced in 2000 as a tribute to traditional Swiss watchmaking, with each timepiece being created and assembled entirely by hand. The model was produced in different variations, with platinum, pink, or white gold cases and two case sizes: a smaller model with 34mm diameter case, and a larger model with 37mm case. Dufour also created two dial types, one in white lacquer and the other with a hand-guilloché dial. Initially, the Simplicity was supposed to be limited to only 100 watches, but due to the incredible demand from clients and collectors, Dufour extended that number to 200. Currently, 205 pieces of the original Simplicity are known to have been produced before its discontinuation. In 2020, Dufour announced a last run of 20 Simplicity models in celebration of the model’s 20th anniversary. These anniversary pieces feature a hinged caseback and a different dial to the nonanniversary models.

Tudor’s Oysterdate collection reflects the close relationship with its sister brand Rolex. First introduced in 1926 by Hans Wildorf, Tudor provided the same quality and skilled craftsmanship as Rolex but at an affordable price point. Their designs drew inspiration from aviation, diving, and motorsports with watches manufactured in durable materials like stainless steel, and having an avant-garde aesthetic. Today, these vintage timepieces are popular amongst collectors both for their intriguing designs and historical significance in horology.

The Oysterdate Chronograph collection was released in the early 1970s with the chronographs having a sporty appeal for both commercial and recreational purposes. The cases featured a larger 40mm diameter compared to the Rolex Daytona of the time measuring a smaller 37mm, and featured various calibrated rotating bezels and dials with either bi-compax or tri-compax subsidiary layout. One of the most sought after and collectible are the “Monte Carlo’ series like the present reference 7169/0 chronograph.

This model was offered with bold dials in orange, white, grey with blue or black tracks and a layout resembling the roulette wheels at Monte Carlo, hence the nickname. This secondgeneration model featured a 12-hour calibrated bezel for dual time keeping. Powered by the manual caliber 234, the Monte Carlo includes a date aperture at 3 o’clock, and featured screw down chronograph pushers similar to the Daytona.

An early, transitional Submariner between the small crown 6536 and the “Big Crown” 6538, the present double reference 6536/6538 is an extraordinary find. Less than a dozen are publicly known—all bearing case numbers beginning with 89’XXX dating to 1955, with this example being the earliest to appear to-date.

With dials bearing a unique red depth rating, these models are further noteworthy in that their casebacks have 6538 crossedout and are re-engraved with 6536. These casebacks were originally intended for the “Big Crown” reference 6538 model, but were re-worked by Rolex for this incredibly rare transitional model as a cost-savings measure.

The luminous marker at 6 o’clock is notably brighter than the other luminous hour markers. This feature allowed divers to orient themselves in the dark, and is seen in other 6536/6538 examples. Its long hour hand, early non-hash bezel insert, and ornate engraving inside the center of the caseback are reminiscent of the iconic reference 6200 “Big Crown” Submariner.

The present example, fresh to the auction market, stands out for its exceptional state of preservation. The case and bezel exhibit minimal signs of wear, with the original factory finishing still crisp and sharp. The original luminous material is still present on the bezel’s triangle at 12 o’clock. The dial is also beautifully preserved, showing pleasing signs of aging and fully intact luminous hour markers.

Combining elements of two of the most iconic sportswatches of the mid-century, the Ulysse Nardin chronograph reference 7536-2 is a surprisingly welcome addition to that most fruitful era of complicated wristwatches. Ulysse Nardin at the time was not known to focus on such timepieces, so the creation of one was unprecedented. With a bezel reminiscent of the Omega Speedmaster, the same Singer dial and layout of a Rolex Daytona, and a workhorse Valjoux 72-based movement, it combines all these desirable elements into a case exactly one millimeter larger than the Daytona.

The present example has a dial that has turned a rich chocolate brown, a process called “tropicalization”, with a very lightly faded bezel. This reference has made appearances in two Phillips thematic auctions, including the exceptional START-STOPRESET sale in 2016. With wide, bold chamfers to the lugs, the engraving to the caseback still crisp and visible, this example, fresh to the auction market, is presented in excellent and, in our opinion, unpolished condition.

PATEK PHILIPPE

An extremely rare, early, and important yellow gold wristwatch with gilded dial and oversized Breguet numerals

Patek Philippe timepieces from the mid 20th-century hold a special attraction for their masculine appeal, understated elegance, and exceptional quality. Their desirability has stood the test of time, becoming icons amongst their peers and for generations produced extremely well-finished, precision timepieces that are appreciated and sought after by collectors and serious enthusiasts.

The reference 530 was launched in 1937 remaining in production only until 1944. It is one of the rarest of all Patek Philippe vintage models, featuring an impressive 36.5mm diameter case which was extremely uncommon at the time. Another unique feature of the model was Patek Philippe’s use of both time only and chronograph calibers in the timepiece. The 530 chronograph was a larger option compared to the iconic reference 130 with its 33.5mm diameter case, in production from 1936 to 1964. The reference 530 time only wristwatch with concave bezel evolved from the iconic reference 96 and was released in tandem with the flat, cylindrical bezel model reference 570.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with gilded dial and gold Breguet numerals in 1939, and its subsequent sale on June 30th, 1939.

The present time only reference 530 is a spectacular example, fitted with a never-before-seen gilded dial adorned with oversized Breguet numerals—both confirmed on the accompanying Patek Philippe extract. It is interesting to note that many time only examples of the reference 530 often feature rare and unusual dial types from the present gilded example to black lacquered. The case is in excellent condition and well preserved, as is the stunning, champagne-colored dial, which retains all of its raised, hard enamel printing with absolutely no losses. The flawless dial and case’s remarkable overall state of preservation is not only visually striking, but has aged in the sophisticated manner that it deserves.

The reference 530 can be considered an ultimate vintage Patek Philippe timepiece combining large, modern sizing, extreme rarity, and incredible aesthetic beauty. The present, fresh-to-themarket wristwatch is a wonderful representation of this stately model that will impress anyone who has the opportunity to see it.

PATEK PHILIPPE An early, extremely fine, and rare yellow gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with sweep center seconds and moon phase

Alongside the famed perpetual calendar chronograph reference 2499, Patek Philippe released the simple perpetual calendar reference 2497, just as it had released the predecessor reference 1518 alongside the reference 1526. The references 2497 and 2499 were designed with larger diameter cases featuring more robust and elaborate lugs compared with their predecessors. Additionally, a waterproof companion was introduced shortly after the reference 2497, the rare reference 2438/1. Established scholarship tells us that there were a combined total of only 179 total examples made across both references 2497 and 2438/1, with movement numbers spanning from 888’000 to 888’178. Some two thirds of these movements were placed within the reference 2497 over a production span of over 10 years. In fact, Patek Philippe took the challenge of creating a so-called “simple” perpetual calendar (if such a thing is not an oxymoron) to heart, adapting their much-lauded caliber 27 SC (SC for “seconde au centre”) to have a perpetual calendar function, transforming it into the 27 SC Q (Q for “quantième”). The sibling references 2497 and 2438/1 were the world’s first perpetual calendar wristwatches with center seconds.

The case is virtually identical to the reference 2499, with gracefully fluted lugs and a robust, stepped case. Early examples such as the present lot are further characterized by delicate feuille hands and alternating gold dot and Arabic numeral indices. While the majority of the cases were made by Wenger, the earliest examples in the series, such as the present lot with the movement number 888’008, were manufactured by Vichet. These are characterized by a flat caseback and elongated,

more dramatically downturned lugs that permit the watch to be elevated when laid flat on a surface. The simplified dial with center seconds instead of subsidiary seconds, as well as the removal of the railway-style outer seconds track gives the watch an overall cleaner and highly legible appearance. Scholarship estimates that only approximately 15 examples of the reference 2497 with a Vichet case are believed to have been produced in yellow gold.

Rarely does this reference appear at auction in such superlative condition, but even more rare is the appearance of a 2497 with such an early movement number—the ninth example ever produced. In fact, the yellow gold 2497 currently in the collection of the Patek Philippe Museum is also fitted with a Vichet case with case serial number only five digits later than the present lot, with a movement serial number 11 digits later.

A fascinating detail of the present lot is the movement number: 888’008. The number eight has long held great significance in most of the world’s religions and cultures, as well as architecture, music, and mathematics. In both Hinduism and Chinese culture, the number eight signifies wealth, while in Islam, eight signifies the number of angels that carry the throne of Allah in heaven. In Buddhism, the Noble Eightfold Path is a list of eight tenets that one must keep to in order to escape the cycle of rebirth.

The present Patek Philippe reference 2497 is preserved in exceptional condition, with a crisp case having developed a beautiful rainbow-colored patina from lack of wear, it is a worthy addition for a distinguished collection of complicated vintage Patek Philippe watches

Dating to approximately 1965, this fresh-to-the-market and extremely well-preserved example features a very rare “galvanic” black dial. The luminous hour markers have aged beautifully and now display warm light brown patina, matching the hands. Its case condition is particularly stunning and impressive, exhibiting all signs that the watch was treasured and hardly ever used over the course of its lifetime. It remains very crisp, with the “step” between the case and the bezel extremely profound and sharp. The manual caliber 722 is stamped “ROW” indicating the watch was destined for the North American market.

The original owner was a renowned chemist, metallurgist, professional engineer, and licensed attorney. He served as an executive volunteer for the Boy Scouts of America with his friend Deke Slayton, one of the original seven NASA astronauts. Deke wore a black dial chronograph watch which inspired him to purchase this watch.

The references 6263 and 6265 mark the last manually-wound Cosmograph Daytona models from Rolex, with their screw-down pushers and Valjoux 727-based movements. The reference 6263 differs from its sister reference by virtue of its black acrylic bezel, as both were offered with champagne or black dial options. Both references were in production until 1988, when they were replaced by the first automatic Cosmograph Daytona, the reference 16520. Though an estimated 24,000 examples of the 6263 and 6265 were cased in stainless steel, only 2,400 examples are thought to have been produced in both 14K and 18K yellow gold—underlining the rarity of the present watch.

As the scholarship around vintage Daytonas has grown in the past few decades, the gulf between good watches and the best collectors’ watches has grown wider and wider. This example of a 14K yellow gold reference 6263 is a notable example, with a corresponding riveted 14K yellow gold riveted and tapered Oyster bracelet. The lugs remain exceptionally well proportioned, with a rich, rosy patina enveloping the entirety of the watch. The vibrant champagne dial with black subdials remains in flawless condition, complementing this ensemble perfectly.

Bearing the correct double Swiss hallmarks for 14K gold, two squirrels, one on the caseback and one on the reverse of the lug, as well as ‘14K’ out on the opposite lug, the squirrel sits upon a “C” indicating the case was tested for fineness and marked in the assay office of Chaux-de-Fonds, where the headquarters of the casemaker, Spillman S.A. was located. So crisp are these hallmarks that the “C” is completely visible with the naked eye. Well-preserved in crisp and most certainly unpolished condition, the present example will delight even the most discerning connoisseur.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6241 was produced from approximately 1966 to 1969 with scholarship estimating no more than 3000 examples were manufactured, with only a small percentage fitted with the iconic “Paul Newman” dial. Produced in stainless steel as well as 14 karat and 18 karat gold, this reference was the first Daytona offered with a black acrylic bezel, offering an alternative to the steel bezel found on the original Daytona reference 6239. Officially named the “exotic” dial by Rolex and now known worldwide as “Paul Newman” dials, they were poorly received by the market and discontinued at the beginning of the 1970s.

The “Paul Newman” dials of references 6239 and 6241 have several peculiarities. They are incredibly three dimensional, featuring a strong step between the outer track and the central area of the dial. Towards the end of the 1960s, the “T Swiss T” designation positioned at 6 o’clock was printed with a slight slant and thus dubbed the “sing-a-song” to collectors, which we see perfectly preserved on this example. Later generation dials would feature a flat “T Swiss T” script, no longer in a pyramid shape.

Bearing a correct 1.76 million serial number, the present 6241 additionally is fitted with a desirable early bezel and a very wellpreserved riveted Oyster bracelet. The “Paul Newman” tricolor dial is vibrant and incredibly well-preserved, with all original luminous material and no visible flaws. Furthermore, the case features strong proportions and crisp edges, making it an outstanding example for the connoisseur.

PATEK PHILIPPE

A like-new, masterful, and extremely rare pink gold minute repeating perpetual calendar single-button chronograph wristwatch with moon phases, leap year indication

Introduced at Baselworld 2011, the reference 5208 was first released in platinum featuring an elegant sunburst gray dial. Extremely well-received by collectors and offered only to the most important clients of Patek Philippe, the platinum model was discontinued in 2018 making way for the subsequent iteration in pink gold.

The case is also a masterpiece itself, a meeting of past and present. Elegant and attractive in all angles, the three-body case features a slider on the left and the single button chronograph evokes vintage chronographs from the 1930s and 1940s. As a contrast, the hollowed lugs gives the reference a modern aesthetic, highlighting the concave polished bezel.

The reference is powered by the firm’s in-house self-winding cal. R CH 27 PS QI, a mechanical metropolis composed of 719 individual parts. Originally inspired from the cal. CH 27-525 PS featured in the split-seconds single-button chronograph ref. 5950, a minute-repeater and perpetual calendar module is further integrated. A lever composed of 15 individual components allows the instantaneous calendar to advance. For the repeating function, a “gong” rimming the circumference of the movement has been fitted, with two hammers striking against it, producing an opulent chime. Pink gold is considered by some manufactures to be the most resonant case material, and this particular example is elegantly sonorous.

First offered publicly in 2021 at Phillips in Hong Kong, this watch was originally the property of Italian footballer and 2006 World Cup champion Fabio Cannavaro. Regarded as an Italian national hero, Cannavaro’s illustrious career started in Napoli’s youth team where he quickly became a star defender and was noticed by Parma playing alongside the likes of Gianluigi Buffon. After a few successful seasons, Cannavaro further extended his career in Serie A playing for Internazionale and Juventus. However, the pivotal moment was during his uncanny performance in World Cup 2006, where his defensive skills led the Italian National Team to a victorious game in the finals against France, earning his nickname “Il Muro di Berlino”, “The Berlin Wall” in Italian. After the world cup, Cannavaro joined the elites establishing a career at Real Madrid.

Still preserved in near-new overall condition, and with its full suite of accessories, the present reference 5208R comes back to market as demand for elite Patek Philippe timepieces grows ever higher.

SIX WATCHES FROM THE COLLECTION OF BEN CLYMER

We are honored to present watches from the collection of the renowned collector, entrepreneur, and journalist, Ben Clymer, founder and President of Hodinkee. Universally recognized for his remarkable influence in promoting and spreading watch culture and the appreciation of watch collecting around the world, the selection of watches in the next five lots illustrate his outstanding taste, quality standards, and discipline. Presented in his own words, each watch clearly held special meaning for him and reflects his personal journey as a collector.

Perhaps the greatest gift I’ve enjoyed from being such a central part of the watch collecting world over the last 16 or so years is exposure to people far more experienced than I am. I began the journey of collecting with little knowledge and even less resources—and so in the early days of Hodinkee I would spend much of my time pursuing the study of watches—at the time, mostly vintage—with the help of some great, more senior collectors. You likely know their names: Goldberger, Massena, Singer, and indeed, Phillips’ own Boutros. I learned about dial design and originality, about case finishing and movement decoration. But one of the things that I quickly realized—and frankly was most surprised by—was that there can be no collecting without deaccessioning—and it was important to acknowledge when the right time would be—and to act in good faith, and with pride. For people’s lives and interests trot along— as does a person’s collection—and that is as much a part of growth in collecting as anything else.

With that, I am proud to present you five lots (six watches in total), representing some of my very favorite personal wristwatches—all of which I have owned and enjoyed for several years now. They represent a few different sides of my journey and collecting, and I am proud to have owned and been a part of these stories. Now, as I begin a new journey, as a father of two young children— and back at the helm of Hodinkee (a company that I not so jokingly refer to as my “first born”), in partnership with Watches of Switzerland, my collecting looks a little different. I am more interested in watches that were created by friends—and I no longer feel the need to own the very best of anything, instead looking for something that appeases my own sense of style and individuality, but has a practical nature to it. In the cases of these five lots, I think there is an argument to be made that they represent some of the best examples of their kind in the world— at least for me. And I am so pleased to be able to show and offer them to you here in my hometown, New York.

Universal Geneve is one of the families of watches that really helped me hone my eye as a collector. Fifteen years ago, there were so many on the market, and all of them affordable (with just one or two exceptions—primarily the A. Cairelli Oversized Split Seconds Chronograph). It became my favorite brand to collect— and I still have many of them—but as I enter a different era of my own watch interests, I thought it was time to let someone else have what I think is one of the best there is. This is a Polerouter, an original, in rose gold, that is virtually unworn, with hang tag and box. I purchased this watch at the Miami Antiques show many years ago—it is the only likely unworn watch I’ve ever purchased or owned—and I bought it really as something of an academic endeavor. I wanted to understand what a Polerouter would’ve looked like in period—with the incredible twisted lugs unpolished, its original strap and buckle still in place.

What’s more, and something I’ve always found interesting about this example, is the original caseback sticker that reads “Limited Edition”. I’ve long wondered where the very idea of “limited edition” watches came from—but I have to think this is one of the earliest uses of it, at least being referred to as such by the brand itself! I also happen to think that this example in rose gold with a glossy black dial, is one of the most beautiful watches of the period.

Both watches are illustrated in Longines: Legendary Watches by John Goldberger, pp. 100–101.

Not everything I owned and loved comes from Patek Philippe and Rolex—in fact some of my most fun and interesting pieces come from other brands. In this particular case—I am referring to a wonderful Longines “Calatrava” reference 5030 that I found many years ago on 47th street in NY. The minute I saw the watch, with its large, thin profile, incredibly sharp, flat bezel, and beautiful rose, salmon colored dial. The deco-style Arabic hour markers, alternating with beads for the hours is also just beautiful, set against the blued hour and minute hands. This watch represented everything wonderful about vintage watch collecting and the types of things you can discover if you just keep your eyes open. (Full disclosure, its caseback was replaced at some point.)

Things got even more interesting one day when I received an email from the head of product development at Longines in St. Imier saying he’d seen my watch on Instagram, and would I mind if they could borrow it. I obliged, of course, and then about 18 months later, I was told I’d be pretty excited by one watch in particular at Baselworld 2017. The Longines Heritage 1945 was my watch. OK, it was now automatic, and 40mm instead of 38mm, but effectively, Longines had taken my watch and made it into a production piece! It was not a Hodinkee limited edition, but the Heritage 1945 has long been a favorite of our community, and this particular example was a gift to me by Longines HQ upon its release. Both the original and the new are just simply wonderful watches.

Speaking of Limited Editions—one of the greatest professional joys of my life is to see watches I have dreamed up in my head come to life. The Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller for Hodinkee represents so much of what I love about watches—old and new— with a complication that I think is as romantic as any. There was a ton of thought put into this one—but we wanted to create the ultimate contemporary travel watch (thus, titanium for weight) that brought back the aura of not only the Patek Philippe 2597s but also 2523s—so we polished the metal to look as if it were gold. Then we removed the date aperture and disc—I believe still the first and only Traveller out there where this was done. The blue enamel disc was obviously a nod to both the 2523 but also single color enamel Rolex watches (like ref 6090) from the 50s. The watch was over engineered in a significant way with the small batch, high polished titanium case, the blue enamel dial (first entire batch cracked before casing), a sector divider in actual white gold (don’t ask), and a highly modified caliber with an entirely new finish to it. It was also one of Laurent Ferrier’s first collaborations, and one of ours—and our most expensive to date. To me, it is the ultimate understated travel watch—that is elegant and interesting—and of course, with Laurent Ferrier’s natural escapement, something very special.

I’ve long posited that there exists a “level after next” in the world of vintage Rolex collecting. And that level consists almost exclusively of triple calendar moon phases—or references 6062 and 8171. These watches are, in my perhaps not so humble opinion, some of the finest, most beautiful, elegant and interesting watches ever produced, by any brand.

The defining trait of the 8171, in my opinion, is the large oversized case, with *what should* be very sharp lugs, and finely detailed rear caseback engravings. Now the vast majority of 8171s you see in the market have rounded lugs, and in many cases, barely, if at all visible rear engravings. But I’m me, and that simply wouldn’t do. So in 2017, when my old Hodinkee contributor and pal Eric Wind was working at another auction house in New York—he told me to have a look at an 8171 that had a lot going for it. The case is completely mint—crisp and beautiful, in its original proportions. The caseback engravings crisp as can be. The dial, which features yellow gold hands and hour markers—was starting to age in the way that I like my old watches to look—so that, they, you know, look old. What’s more, it was consigned by the original owner. I saw the watch in person, was blown away by it, and decided to bid. Sadly for me, so did a good friend of mine and he ended up taking it home for a bit more than what I was prepared to spend. I told him if he ever wanted to move this particular 8171 on, I would love to take it off his hands—not long after, that’s exactly what happened.

This 8171 is, to me, what vintage watch collecting is all about. Wonderful, original condition but not void of personality. The dial has some aging, the case a nick or two, but this watch is so remarkably honest.The 8171 is to me an all time great, and this particular example, coming from the original owner in 2017, is the perfect one to have great pride in its quality and originality, but also wear without concern.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the enamel dial and production of the present watch in 1956, and its subsequent sale on March 4th, 1957.

There is not a more “me” watch in this world than this one. The Patek Philippe 2526 is one of my first, last, and truest loves in watches. I have owned no less than 11 different examples of the 2526, none longer than this example in white gold. If you’re reading this note, and already know who I am, than you surely know why I love the 2526 as a whole (if you don’t, search 2526 on Hodinkee), but I think it’s worth discussing why, of all the examples I’ve owned, this is the one I’ve held on to the longest.

There is so much that can be said about the 2526—and what it represents not only for Patek Philippe but for the watch collecting world at large. The quality of the caliber used in this watch still, to this day, sets a bar for self-winding watches. The case, with its downturned lugs and screw back, sized at a perfect 36mm, fits every sized wrist well, on strap or bracelet. And the dial—well, how can one not love a twice baked glossy enamel dial produced in the 1950s? What has long elevated this particular example above the rest to me is the fact that it is white gold— indeed the most seldom seen material used on any 2526—and a supremely elegant metal on a watch like this. Beyond that, of the 20 or so white gold 2526s known in the world (yes, they really are that rare), only a small handful exist with an archive that state the watch was born with an enamel dial. This is one of them. White metal 2526s were, in most cases, born with metal dials, often times with diamonds for the hour markers, and then later swapped to enamel as collectors’ whims changed. This watch, however, was born this way, and that elevates it above most other white gold or platinum 2526s. This watch was brokered to me privately by John Reardon about ten years ago, and has not been seen on the market for over twenty years.

Glass prisms hold a mesmerizing charm, captivating imaginations with their ability to transform light. Their intriguing properties have inspired many to explore their applications in art and everyday life. One notable example was Cartier, renowned not only for its opulent Mystery clocks but also for its elegant prism clocks that demonstrated their mastery of illusionism. The present prism clock from the 1990s is a reinterpretation of the original design, invented and patented by Gaston Cusin—a colleague of Maurice Couet, and the creator of Cartier’s well-known Mystery clock. Similar to the Mystery clock, Cartier’s prism clocks employ a clever optical illusion that upon first glance, appears transparent. Through its use of mirrors, the dial reveals itself at certain angles, leaving onlookers utterly fascinated.

Boasting a silver and blue color scheme that is often associated with neo-vintage Cartier pieces, such as the lapis Tank must de Cartier or the CPCP Monopoussoir Tortue in white gold, the present desk clock has a silver-plated case with decorative lapis lazuli panels, resulting in a harmonious aesthetic. The dial of this prism desk clock also features blue Arabic quarter numerals against a silver dial.

Viewable only at a specific angle due to the construction of the desk clock, the present example will be a wonderful addition to the desks of any Cartier enthusiast.

Designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank watch stands as an enduring icon of modern horology. Its refined aesthetic, characterized by a perfect blend of geometry and harmony, has given the Tank its unmistakable identity.

The present model, known as a Tank Divan, stands as yet another masterful reinterpretation of the iconic Tank watch, and it has never been publicly available until now. Fresh to the market, it remained unknown to collectors, with only a single example ever exhibited at Cartier’s prestigious “Geneva Rare Watches Exhibition.” This exclusive event showcased 35 vintage pieces from Cartier’s private museum archive, among which was a watch identical to the example offered here.

Encased in an elongated rectangular case reminiscent of the Tank Louis, this timepiece features a hand-painted dial, typical of Cartier London creations from that era. Despite the propensity of such dials to develop cracks with age, this present piece has been preserved in exceptional condition, with the dial having acquired a beautiful cream patina over time. The watch was sold by Cartier London, as evidenced by the London hallmarks. The same hand-stamped numbers are visible on both the caseback and the inside of the original deployant buckle.

Adding to its allure, the watch is accompanied by its original black crocodile strap and Cartier London Bond Street presentation box. Preserved in museum-quality condition— in a superior state of preservation to the example in Cartier’s own archives, this timepiece is certain to captivate the attention of vintage Cartier enthusiasts.

A. Lange & Söhne is one of the most distinguished and appreciated watchmakers in existence, focusing on elegant and complicated timepieces. Since the firm was re-established in 1994 with their first collection of four wristwatches, they have continued to bring excellence to haute horlogerie.

The 1815 collection was first released in 1995 reflecting the tradition, heritage, and precision A. Lange & Söhne is known for with elegant watches focusing on clean classic lines and functionality with precision engineering. In 1999, A. Lange & Söhne launched the 1815 Emil Lange Moon Phase in celebration of founder Ferdinand Adolphe Lange’s son 150th birthday. The model was offered in a limited edition of 250 pieces in pink gold and, like the present watch, 150 pieces in platinum.

The 1815 Emil Lange Moon phase reflects traditional Saxony watchmaking with a modern twist. The dial is captivating with its offset small seconds register at 4 o’clock and moon phase display at 8 o’clock and the “Big Dipper” constellation represented. The model sold out quickly and became a classic, with the brand relaunching the watch in 2010 in a larger case made of their proprietary honey gold alloy and with guilloché dial.

The present watch is well-preserved in outstanding condition and offered complete with its accessories. Offered fresh-to-themarket, it presents collectors the possibility to own one of A. Lange & Söhne’s most coveted timepieces.

The Day-Date needs no introduction—though we have attempted it in myriad other catalogue essays. In the mid-1960s, like every other era in its history, Rolex was using the Day-Date as a blank canvas for aesthetic experimentation. In this era, a selection of finely textured dials were sometimes fitted to this model, though they did not last long and few exist today. Some have more uniform geometric patterns, like the present watch, while others are a bit more playful.

The symphony of textures of this example is exquisite: the oversized woven mesh bracelet in pink gold, the classic fluted bezel, and the multi-level, multi-textured dial. The dial is often described as “guilloché”, but it is more akin to a “clous de Paris” texture, with tiny individual pyramids clustered together and raised in a “pie-pan” style step above the minute track. The hour markers are referred to as “door-stop” due to larger, tapered baton indexes at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The color combination of rich pink gold with a smoky, silvery gray dial adds yet another graceful layer to this already fantastical combination.

An exceptional offering, the present pink gold Day-Date is a rare find indeed, with an original and extraordinary Rolex mesh bracelet, textured dial, and pink gold livery.

Launched in 1972, Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak was the world’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch with a fully integrated bracelet. Designed overnight in response to an urgent request for an ‘unprecedented steel watch’, it was at the same time the most expensive stainless steel watch ever made. Today the Royal Oak is a legend, accounting for over 75% of the brand’s sales. Audemars Piguet hired famed designer Gerald Genta, who developed a brilliantly engineered, monobloc case, with a distinctively maritime feel, featuring an octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal, white gold screws, and a dial with tapisserie motif. It most notably housed the extra slim caliber 2121 based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 920, that would later be used in Patek Philippe’s Nautilus wristwatch.

Production of the reference 5402 spanned 25 years, with a total of 6,050 examples manufactured, in four different batches: A, B, C and D with small design details that made each slightly different.

The ‘A’ series Royal Oak models feature the distinctive ‘AP’ logo positioned at 6 o’clock, with later “Jumbo” models having the brand logo at the 12 o’clock position. This superb A-series Royal Oak wristwatch from 1974, number A431, is a charismatic example. The case is well-preserved having been recently restored by Audemars Piguet, while the original dial is beautifully aged with the hands and luminous hour markers having acquired an attractive, light yellowish hue.

Today, the Royal Oak remains as iconic as ever with early examples being exceedingly popular and collectible.

Released in 1976, the reference 3700/1 embodies every aspect of Patek Philippe’s avant-garde design philosophy of the 1970s, from the bold yet elegant curves, to the contrasting finish of the case, and even the delicate grooves of the dial culminating in a sublimely robust and elegant wristwatch. Advertisements from the era trumpeted the Nautilus’ status as one of the most expensive steel wristwatches, and proclaimed “Like the great swords of another age, Nautilus took shape between the skilled hands of master craftsmen.” Evidence suggests that of all Genta’s iconic designs, the Nautilus was his favorite and he perhaps regarded it as his most timeless.

Owing to a thinner caliber, the 3700/1 retains a slimmer profile than its 21st century descendent, the 5711/1A, introduced on the 40th anniversary of the 3700 in 2006. The caliber 28-255 within was based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC 920, heavily modified by Patek Philippe. At the time it was the world’s thinnest automatic movement with date, measuring only 3.05mm thick.

The “Jumbo” moniker refers to the 42mm case, which was certainly oversized for the era. While it was initially not well received, its popularity quickly grew, and has been a mainstay of Patek Philippe’s collection until the present day. Recently serviced by Patek Philippe in 2021 and fitted with a new old stock dial, it’s a lovely vintage example of a coveted Nautilus that can be enjoyed on a daily basis.

Since its debut over 48 years ago, the Patek Philippe Nautilus redefined the notion of a luxury sports watch in steel, marking a pivotal transformation in the watchmaking world. Conceived by the legendary Gérald Genta during an impromptu sketch while dining with Patek Philippe executives, the design was inspired by a ship’s porthole, characterized by its solid monobloc case and distinctive octagonal bezel. This quick sketch soon evolved into a timeless horological icon, known as the “Jumbo” Nautilus ref. 3700.

The present “Jumbo” Nautilus is an outstanding and extremely well-preserved example of a reference 3700/11 in full gold, hailing from the earlier production run. With its beautifully preserved bevels, sharp factory edges, and extremely crisp hallmarks under the lugs, the gold bracelet remains impressively tight and unblemished. A single stamp of “18K” can be found on the caseback, showing that the watch was imported into the North American market. The dial is equally impressive, remaining flawless and in as-new condition, with a deep blue hue that exhibits hints of green under direct light.

Accompanied by its original Patek Philippe hang tag, this outstanding timepiece offers a rare opportunity to own a topquality example of a foundational reference in the history of luxury sports watches.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with Breguet numerals in 1944, and its subsequent sale on July 19th, 1944.

The reference 565 is one of the most classic gentleman’s wristwatches of the 20th century. Released in 1938, the model featured innovative and enduring qualities that today make it a collector favorite. These including the two piece Taubert case with screw down back, an inner soft iron cover to protect the movement from the adverse effects of magnetic fields, and a more generous 35mm diameter case, compared to the smaller reference 96. The brand continued to manufacture the model until 1952, and in an era when yellow gold timepieces were de riguer, most examples were made in yellow gold, with fewer examples in pink gold and rarely in stainless steel. Designed for a public with a growing interest in outdoor activities, the reference 565 was waterproof with its screw-down case back.

The present example is nicely aged and the silvered dial features Breguet numerals as confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives. Historical research suggests that Henry Graves, one of the most prominent early 20th century collectors, wore a reference 565 as his daily wristwatch—a testament to the importance of this reference. It is a lovely example of the reference 565, certain to impress.

Literature

Examples of reference 6036 are illustrated in I Cronografi Rolex— La Leggenda by Pucci Papaleo, pp. 380–401.

Reference 6036 launched in 1951 and remained in production until the mid-1950s. It is the third iteration of one of the most complicated line of vintage Rolex timepieces, which is now known as the “Dato-Compax” or, more famously, the “JeanClaude Killy.” The model is preceded by two other iterations— reference 5036 (launched in 1948) and reference 4767 (launched in 1947)—and succeeded by reference 6236, all four of them sporting similar aesthetics while incorporating technical updates. The reference 6036 was cased mostly in stainless steel, with some examples made in yellow or pink gold.

Oftentimes, the delicate characteristics of these Killy dials become victims to age and humidity; this is not the case for the present reference 6036. Fitted with a stunning, two-tone “nolume” dial, it displays alternating grené ivory and silvery finishes, taking on a warm champagne hue utterly harmonious with that of the gold mirrored numerals, case, and bracelet. A period-correct and rare Gay Frères bracelet comprising sinuous fitted links of twisted ropes further enhances its aesthetic.

PATEK PHILIPPE

An extraordinarily well-preserved and highly coveted yellow gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with “red dot” leap year indication, moon phase, Certificate of Origin, and presentation box

Ref. 3450 “Red Dot”

Patek Philippe’s legendary line of perpetual calendar wristwatches is known for their symmetry, harmony, and timeless elegance. The brand introduced their first self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch, the reference 3448 in 1962, and the complication is still cherished 60 years later with the present-day references 5327, 5236, and 5320. Launched in 1981, reference 3450 was the successor to reference 3448—Patek Philippe’s very first perpetual calendar wristwatch to indicate leap years. While aesthetically similar to reference 3448, it most notably indicates the leap year via an aperture at 3:30 on the dial. In addition, its case back is slightly smaller and is fitted with a “tongue”, enabling it to be easily opened.

Technically, the model represents one of the pinnacles of watchmaking. It is powered by the caliber 27-460Q, the perpetual (Q: Quantième) upgrade of caliber 27-460 which is considered one of the finest automatic movements of all time. Built atop the same exquisite caliber as the reference 3448, the caliber 27-460 is considered by many connoisseurs, watchmakers, and scholars as one of the finest automatic movements ever produced by any brand.

The present watch, manufactured in 1982, is a rare and early first generation of the reference 3450 fitted with a “red dot” leap year indicator. Earliest examples of the reference featured this “red dot”, also known as “bollino rosso”, charmingly nicknamed by Italian collectors, to indicate the fourth year of the leap year cycle. Later examples would instead display the Roman numerals I, II, III and finally ‘IV’ for the leap year.

The reference 5131 is part of a prestigious lineage of world time wristwatches made by Patek Philippe. Introduced in 2008 in yellow gold, it was later followed by a white gold model in 2009 and finally by pink gold and platinum versions. Now discontinued, it was the first modern world time reference to be graced with the fabled cloisonné dial featuring geographic maps.

With the advent of the industrial age came the means necessary to facilitate global trade and travel and, as a direct result, there was a need for timekeeping devices capable of tracking time in multiple locations. Between 1930 and 1931, Louis Cottier designed an ingenious, ultra-thin mechanism that simultaneously displayed the correct hours across the world’s time zones through a rotating 24-hour ring, in addition to the local time.

The city of choice (local time zone) would be set at the 12 o’clock position with the hours/minutes handset at local time. The highly user-friendly design, used until the present day, would then display the correct time in both hours and minutes, night and day, for 24 time zones simultaneously, while clearly indicating local time—all via a single dial.

The present white gold reference 5131 is preserved in excellent, and in our opinion unpolished, condition with its full-set of accessories. The lovely enamel dial representing Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania, all outlined in fine gold, demonstrates the technical mastery and artistic craftmanship of these iconic Patek Philippe world time wristwatches.

A similar example of the reference in yellow gold can be found in our sale at Lot 111.

Since its inception, Patek Philippe has been at the forefront of not only technical mastery but enhancing those mechanical achievements with aesthetic excellence. One of the techniques the maison has mastered is that of cloisonné enamel, a technique where thin gold wires are used as outlines that are then filled with vitreous enamel powder. Once those powders are set, they are fired in a kiln up to 12 times. Though there is a high fail rate, the process of enamel firing dials creates a vivid and resilient image with myriad vibrant colors.

The reference 5075 was first introduced in 2000 as a set of four pieces, and re-released each year with different cloisonné dials. The present 5075 is part of the “Flowers” series, and it is believed that only 10 sets were ever created, and production ceased in 2004. The case design reflects the elegant simplicity Patek Philippe is renowned for, with its bold, tapered bezel and timeless 36mm case diameter. Each rotor on the movement bears an engraving that reflects the floral motif of the dial.

Depicting the “Echinocereus Leucanthus”, a type of endangered cactus flower native to the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora. They feature tapered shoots that emerge from the main cactus, with long white petals that are a soft pink nearer the center. Remaining in its factory single seal and offered freshto-the-market, this reference 5075 with “white flower” dial is accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin and hang tag.

As the successor to the storied reference 5970, the 5270 was a truly ground-breaking new chapter in the brand’s storied line of perpetual calendar chronographs. Launched in 2011, it was Patek Philippe’s very first perpetual calendar chronograph with a fully in-house movement, the caliber 29-535.

The present iteration of the reference 5270 was launched in 2018 and made available for the first time in platinum. Highly sought after by collectors for its stunning aesthetics, it is fitted with an elegant “salmon” dial with blackened gold applied baton numerals that are both striking and balanced.

Fresh to the market and consigned by its original owner, this salmon dial example is only the 17th known to have been offered in public. It was sold by the now-shuttered San Francisco Tiffany & Co. Patek Philippe boutique in 2021, and bears the Tiffany & Co. retailer signature on the Certificate of Origin, as well as Tiffany outer packaging. The watch is in near-new condition, having hardly been worn, and complete with the entirety of its original accessories.

PATEK PHILIPPE A most probably unique, historically important, and extremely rare yellow gold split-seconds chronograph wristwatch with dial inscription and Breguet numerals

Patek Philippe’s reference 1436 was the brand’s first serially produced split-seconds chronograph wristwatch. Following the launch of the chronograph reference 130 in 1934, Patek Philippe received immediate requests for a wristwatch capable of timing two simultaneous events. The split-seconds mechanism proved invaluable for technical purposes such as timing horse races, automobile races, and scientific experiments.

The present split-seconds chronograph is most probably unique, and one of the most important Patek Philippe timepieces with horse racing history to come to market. One of only about 25 known examples to be encased in yellow gold, this reference 1436 is among very few with Breguet numerals, as confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. What makes this watch even more extraordinary is the special inscription found at 6 o’clock: ‘Leading Apprentice Hialeah Park 1941.’ The raised, hard enamel inscription indicates that the dial was specially commissioned by Patek Philippe before production, to be gifted to a most exceptional horse racer. Everything about the dial is extraordinary and indicative of a special order—the enamel Breguet numerals, the lack of an outer scale on the dial for both maximum legibility and additional room for the full inscription at 6 o’clock, and finally, larger sub-dials than typically seen on the reference.

The recipient of this watch was most certainly American jockey Wendall Eads, who according to a New York Times article in 1941, was cited as the leading apprentice at Hialeah Park for his outstanding achievements. According to The American Racing Manual, out of 844 mounts in 1941, Eads won 150 races, placed in 110, and showed in another 110, earning a total of $343,556 that year—equivalent to over $7.3 million in today’s value (2024). Hialeah Park, opened on January 15, 1925, and completed in 1932, quickly became one of America’s premier racetracks frequented by high society, and was later as a National Historic Landmark in 1988. Interestingly, 1941 was a landmark year in horse racing history, when the American Triple Crown was won by Whirlaway—the fifth horse to do so since 1875, and one of only 13 Triple Crown-winning horses until the present day.

Introduced in 1938, the reference 1436 is regarded as one of the most elegant and sophisticated models ever crafted by the firm. Featuring an extremely fine rattrapante (split-seconds) chronograph mechanism developed by the workshops of Victorin Piguet, they were housed in a classic case measuring 33mm in diameter. Research suggests that only around 140 examples were produced over its approximate 33-year production span, averaging just four watches per year—a remarkably limited number, even by the production standards of the mid-to-late 20th century.

This exceptional example is preserved in wonderful overall condition, showcasing strong case proportions and its original satin-finished case details. A remarkable opportunity for collectors of important vintage Patek Philippe watches, this oneof-a-kind reference 1436 carries a unique narrative, intertwined with both sportsmanship and horology, perfectly showcasing how the rattrapante chronograph was intended to be utilized. In the field of ultimate collectible Patek Philippe timepieces, we cannot think of another timepiece with such a strong tie to horse racing.

Launched in 1994 and in production for approximately 8 years, Patek Philippe’s reference 5020, also known as the “TV Screen” due to its unusual cushion shape was an alternative to the reference 3970 featuring the identical complications: perpetual calendar with leap year, 24-hour indicator, moon phase, and chronograph.

It is believed that about 200 examples of reference 5020 were ever made, either in yellow, pink, or white gold as well as in platinum. The cushion-form, so-called “TV-shaped” case is much more reminiscent of the oversized tonneau cases of the 1970s, such as the famous Beta 21. Patek Philippe also incorporated other classic features such as Breguet numerals and hands, giving the reference 5020 a distinctively elegant look.

It took about 10 years following its introduction for the market to appreciate the model: the purity of its mirror-finished retro aesthetics, generous size, and overall incredible rarity compared to that of all other Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph references. With time, these factors rendered the reference one of the most collectible and sought-after perpetual calendar chronograph models made by the manufacture. Less than five examples cased in yellow gold, such as the present example, have appeared on the public market, according to scholarship. Originally purchased at the Patek Philippe Boutique in Geneva, the present example was especially well cared for. It is accompanied by all its original accessories including hang tag, Certificate of Origin, and additional solid case back, making it an exciting opportunity for the discerning collector.

PATEK PHILIPPE A unique, highly important, and superbly attractive yellow gold pocket watch with miniature enamel painting by Anita Porchet, hand-engraved and hand-executed guilloché dial, matching yellow gold and Macassar ebony stand, with Certificate of Origin and presentation boxes

The words “Rare Handcrafts” carry profound significance within the realm of Patek Philippe. In its commitment to safeguarding Geneva’s prestigious artisanal heritage, the brand hosts an annual exhibition to showcase an extraordinary collection of one-of-a-kind and limited-edition timepieces, all crafted to highlight age-old techniques such as marquetry, gem-setting, guilloché, enameling, and hand-engraving.

The present masterpiece from the Rare Handcrafts collection embodies four of these five crafts, resulting in a stunning and totally unique work of horological art. Crafted entirely from yellow gold, its case features intricate guilloché and a hand-engraved, leaf-like basket-weave motif, perfectly complementing the watch’s jungle-inspired theme. A yellow sapphire, set on the crown, perhaps symbolizes the sun streaming through dense foliage that is meticulously depicted on the bow band. However, the true focal point of this exceptional timepiece is the miniature rendition of Henri Rousseau’s “Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo,” masterfully reimagined by Anita Porchet.

Henri Rousseau’s Tiger with a Buffalo (also known as Fight Between a Tiger and a Buffalo) is a striking and vivid depiction of the natural world, set in a lush jungle. Painted in 1908, the scene shows a fierce tiger attacking a buffalo in a dense, exotic forest filled with rich green vegetation and wild plant life. The animals are locked in a tense, primal struggle, with the tiger’s body crouched, teeth bared, and claws extended as it clings to the buffalo. The buffalo, in contrast, appears in distress, its powerful body contorted as it struggles to escape. Despite the violent subject matter, there is a calm, otherworldly stillness to the jungle itself, as if the surroundings are separate from the brutal confrontation taking place.

Anita Porchet masterfully reproduced this lush jungle in miniature enamel with fantastic detail: working with 12 basic colors and calling for more than 20 firings at temperatures of 800°C.

Turning to the main dial, the solid gold base is meticulously hand-guillochéed, then layered with translucent enamel, creating a rich depth and dimensionality in a stunning display of flinqué enameling. The Breguet numerals, darkened through galvanization, stand out beautifully against the gold background, providing a striking contrast that enhances the dial’s elegance.

PATEK PHILIPPE

An extremely rare and highly important stainless steel limited edition chronograph cushion-shaped wristwatch, 1950s movement, and Certificate of Origin, part of a limited edition of 16 pieces

Reference 3670 stands as one of the rarest, most elusive, and most sought-after modern Patek Philippe wristwatches, with a story as rich in mystery as it is in history. In 1996, as Patek Philippe prepared to relocate its workshops from the historic rue du Rhône to Plan-les-Ouates, an astonishing discovery was made. Hidden on the fifth floor was an old wooden chest containing 16 vintage chronograph movements, caliber 13-130, meticulously assembled and adjusted in 1955.

The caliber 13-130 had long been a hallmark of Patek Philippe’s chronographs, gracing iconic models such as references 130 and 1463, to name a few. To commemorate this remarkable find, Patek Philippe made the bold decision to disassemble and reassemble these 16 movements, encasing them in stainless steel cushion cases reminiscent of 1920s chronographs. The discovery of these unused movements was nothing short of extraordinary, but housing them in stainless steel was an audacious and unprecedented choice for the brand. Apart from the split-seconds chronograph reference 5950 or the ultra-rare perpetual calendar split-seconds reference 5004A, Patek Philippe seldom used stainless steel for their highend timepieces, reserving the material for charity events or unique pieces.

The creation of a limited series stainless steel chronograph with an original vintage movement was a daring move, igniting immediate excitement among collectors. Each watch was adorned with a grey dial, lending a modern and sporty edge to its design.

Made exclusively for the Italian market, the present Breguet Jump Hour wristwatch or “ore saltanti” often called “saltarello” given the Italian predisposition towards nicknames, only 50 individually numbered pieces were produced beginning in 1988. They were delivered based on a “souscription” model, echoing the earliest pocket watches created by Abraham-Louis Breguet himself. For the historical “souscription” pieces, twenty-five percent of the price was paid up front, to allow the watchmaker to finance the production and completion of the watches.

While many of the original “souscription” watches notably featured a single-handed dial, echoed in the current example, the addition of a jump hour powered by an automatic movement adds a contemporary element to the watch. All this is encased in a classic, Breguet-style case with extended downturned lugs and fluted case band, measuring an impressive 36mm in diameter. Preserved in excellent overall condition with crisp hallmarks between the lugs, this rarely seen model is accompanied by its original presentation boxes.

Known for his daring, almost ostentatious designs, Franck Muller started his career producing watches inspired from his days restoring some of the rarest and most complicated watches of the past. Muller is also part of the fantastic group of young watchmakers—along with Roth, Dubuis, and Halterwho had decided to go independent. He would launch his eponymous brand in 1991.

One of his first creations was a double-sided chronograph inspired by the Patek Philippe ref 1463 “Tasti Tondi”. He reimagined the chronograph by placing an oversized seconds counter on the reverse of the watch, a complication most commonly found on pocket watches. He later incorporated this, in a more limited series, in his signature Cintrée Curvex case, such as the present watch. Fitted with the manually-wound Lemania caliber 1872/1873, it is the rarest variant of Muller’s highly sought after double-faced chronograph.

The front features a conventional, guilloche dial with chronograph registers, while the back has an oversized, oneminute register with center seconds as well as a pulsometer, tachymeter and telemeter, operated by the chronograph buttons. Due to its large display, the scales are significantly easier to read than on an ordinary chronograph.

According to Nicholas Rudaz, CEO of Franck Muller, these double-sided chronographs were all commissioned by an Italian retailer in the 1990s. They were made in a small series of approximately 40 to 50 examples. The present example is numbered 17, though numbers have been seen to 32.

The Tank à Guichets wristwatch introduced in 1928 marked a significant departure from traditional timepiece designs of its era, embracing the avant-garde aesthetics of the Art Deco movement. Its distinctive jumping hours mechanism and minutes aperture at 6 o’clock set it apart as a masterpiece of both form and function. The term “à Guichets” denotes the French translation of apertures, within which the hour “jumps” as time progresses, adding to its allure and sophistication.

Commemorating their 150th anniversary, Cartier’s limited edition Tank à Guichets, released in 1997, pays homage to this iconic timepiece while infusing it with contemporary craftsmanship and luxury. With only 150 examples produced, each watch becomes a coveted collector’s item, embodying the timeless elegance and sophistication synonymous with the Cartier brand.

Crafted from platinum and adorned with a faceted ruby cabochon crown, this anniversary edition exudes opulence and refinement.

With the auspicious number 007, this example of the Tank à Guichets was formerly in the collection of beloved Cartier expert George Cramer, as evidenced by the service paperwork that accompanies the watch. Sadly, he passed away in 2023 after a period of illness. It is particularly poignant to offer this timepiece once owned by a devotee of the brand and member of the international watch community.

Launched in 2004 to commemorate his great-grandfather’s birth in 1815, Walter Lange introduced the 1815 collection and thus marked the first new Lange line since the original quartet of watches released in 1994.

With design cues that were reminiscent of Lange’s high-grade historic pocket watches, this new line incorporated slightly larger cases, railway-track minute scales, and Arabic numerals, fitting the tastes of modern collectors. One such watch was the 1815 Chronograph with flyback function.

The first generation of the 1815 Chronograph, like the present example, were produced for only the brief period between 2004 and 2008. This watch masterfully blends traditional watchmaking with 21st-century engineering, encapsulated by the caliber 951—Lange’s esteemed chronograph movement, first introduced in the Datograph in 1999. Similar to that of the Datograph, the tactile feeling of the chronograph pushers in the 1815 Chronograph is revered by collectors.

The dial of the 1815 Chronograph in white gold also offers remarkable dimensionality, with the pulsation scale, hour track, and inner dial all set on slightly different levels. The subdials showcase a subtle guilloché pattern, while the smooth, opaline dial offers contrast and easy legibility. Housed in a 39.5mm white gold case, the watch is both comfortable and substantial, embodying the essence of a timepiece of true significance. Adding to its desirability, the present piece is preserved in most probably unpolished condition and comes with its original paperwork and presentation box.

Dubuis started his career in the late 1950s in the after-sales department of Longines. Repairing the brand’s iconic 13ZN chronograph caliber was an eye opener for him into the wonderful world of chronographs. He then left Longines for Patek Philippe where he worked as a constructor and a master watchmaker in the complications department. He left Patek Philippe after 14 years and set up his own repair atelier in Geneva in 1980, even creating movements for other brands. However, it was not until the mid-1990s that he created his own brand. Greatly inspired by his time at Patek Philippe and the brand’s beautiful timepieces, Dubuis launched two models, the round, classical Hommage and the quirkier Sympathie with its unusual case design.

Roger Dubuis’s Hommage chronograph collection focused on traditional watchmaking and exhibiting the technical mastery of the chronograph complication. He produced three different sized models in 34mm, 37mm and 40mm diameter cases. Research indicates the models were produced in a limited number of up to 28 timepieces each like the present model and offered in rose gold, white gold and palladium. The H40 case has a distinctive design with a polished stepped concave bezel and lugs. The watch measures 40mm in diameter and features a monochromatic dial with blue chronograph hand and 30 minute counter. It is highlighted by the single button chronograph pusher at the 2 o’clock position and received its “Bulletin d’Observatoire” chronometer rating in November 1996.

The present example is well-preserved and offered complete with its original accessories.

For the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between France and China, Francois-Paul Journe, with his roots from Marseille, was proudly appointed as the official watchmaker to represent the brilliance of traditional Haute Horlogerie. To mark this milestone between the two countries, a pair of limited edition timepieces were created, an Octa Automatique Lune with a novel French blue dial, and an Elégante with a majestic jade dial.

Part of the Octa series, this model features a 40mm platinum case and is powered by a self-winding rotor crafted from 22K pink gold, offering an impressive 120-hour power reserve. Its striking dial, in a captivating shade that lies between navy and grey, is enhanced by high-polished white gold indexes that beautifully contrast the matte blue-grey background. A special touch is added with a unique logo on the right side of the branding, commemorating the ‘50th anniversary’ in Chinese, alongside the years marking the diplomatic relationship between France and China.

With a limited production, the official release of 10 pieces of this beautiful monochromatic dial with embossed red commemorative logo were only available from each of the ten F.P. Journe boutiques worldwide, with possibly a handful more made by special request. The present example is offered in an excellent overall condition with its original accessories.

Richard Mille’s RM 020 is a seldom seen and striking reinterpretation of the classic pocket watch. As the first pocket watch to incorporate a carbon nanofiber baseplate—originally developed for U.S. Air Force jets—it exemplifies the innovative spirit for which Richard Mille is renowned, a brand that has long been associated with creating “racing machines for the wrist.” The RM 020 takes that concept further by offering a “racing machine” that can be worn with its titanium pocket watch chain or displayed as an art piece on its titanium stand or within a pocket watch display case.

On the technical front, the tourbillon escapement—an invention from the 19th century designed specifically for pocket watches— is powered by a dual winding barrel system. The two barrels are coupled together, providing an impressive power reserve of around 10 days.

Seamlessly blending heritage craftsmanship with modern watchmaking innovations, the RM 020 in titanium stands as a testament to Richard Mille’s bold creativity. Offered in virtually unworn condition as a complete set with all accompanying accessories, it is both timeless and forward-looking, making it a must-have for any discerning collector and a celebration of the enduring elegance of the pocket watch.

Michel Parmigiani is certainly one of the most talented watchmakers of his generation. He hesitated at length between pursuing a degree in architecture or watchmaking and finally decided on the latter but all his work has been inspired by the former.

At just the age of 26 he opened his own restoration workshops in 1976 and soon after began creating unique timepieces for his discerning clientele.

Parmigiani’s workshops were known to restore the most important pieces ever made and even restoring watches and clocks that were deemed impossible to restore, including one of Breguet’s original Sympathie clocks.

Michel Parmigiani launched his eponymous brand in 1996 and launched his first wristwatch model in 1998: The Toric. The models featured single or double stepped knurled bezels, javelin hands and often intricate guilloché dials.

The Toric perpetual calendar was first launched in 1999 and featured an extremely legible dial with the day and month indications read via apertures, the date indicated by a retrograde hand (a true novelty for the epoch), the leap year indicator at the top of the dial and moon phase indication at 6 o’clock.

Serviced at Parmigiani in 2022, the present Toric Perpetual Calendar in 18K white gold displays a striking black guilloché dial and is presented as a complete set preserved in excellent condition.

The Patek Philippe reference 5070 was the first modern-era chronograph-only wristwatch released by the firm since the end of production for the reference 1463 in the 1960s. Introduced in 1998 at Baselworld, it was something of a shock to collectors that Patek would choose to reintroduce a chronograph model in such bold fashion—particularly with a 42mm case and a dramatically thick, stepped bezel. The reference 5070 enjoys a unique spot in Patek Philippe’s history as one of the largest watches it had produced and the last chronograph to use a modified, Lemania 2310-based ébauche before Patek Philippe switched to an in-house caliber with the introduction of the reference 5170.

A worthy and highly anticipated successor to the classic reference 1463 chronograph, the 5070 would also feature a water-resistant case with a screw-down case back. Despite being the mechanical successor to the 1463, the reference 5070 inherited the design of the unique reference 2512 from 1950, an oversized split-seconds chronograph that now resides in the Patek Philippe Museum. The large Arabic numerals and stepped bezel specifically come directly from the 2512, as well as the rectangular pushers. Despite the large size of the case, the relatively slim profile and downturned lugs lends the watch a sophisticated and comfortable presence on the wrist.

This reference 5070G in 18 karat white gold is preserved in outstanding condition and is accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin, presentation boxes, and product literature.

Unveiled at Baselworld 2016, the Rolex Daytona reference 116508 became the first yellow gold Daytona to feature the brand’s iconic emerald green dial. Released alongside its white gold counterpart with a blue dial, the yellow gold model quickly garnered admiration from collectors for its bold, striking design. It gained even more fame after appearing on Hodinkee.com’s popular video series, Talking Watches, where it was discussed by John Mayer as part of the renowned singer and avid watch collector’s personal collection.

The captivating “vert foncé” dial shifts between shades of vibrant apple green and deep forest green, depending on the light. Its bold color contrasts beautifully with the yellow gold case and complements the racing red accents on the dial, creating a visually arresting combination. Now discontinued, it was incredibly hard to find in boutiques, solidifying its status as one of the most sought-after modern Daytona models.

The present Rolex Daytona reference 116508 is a superb example, preserved in brand new, unworn condition, with its factory protective stickers still intact on both the case and bracelet.

Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Concept collection reflects the brand’s commitment to pushing traditional horological boundaries with an avant-garde design and sophisticated watchmaking. In 2002, the brand introduced the revolutionary Royal Oak Concept (CW1), encased in the highly rare alloy, Alacrite 602, for the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak as an exploration on what they believed the model could look like in the future.

The original concept watch was built to demonstrate the brand’s technical prowess and master craftsmanship. The robust, angular case’s design roots were clearly the same as the original Royal Oak from 1972, enlarged to a 44mm diameter with sharp facets and two sapphire crystals so the movement was fully exposed.

In 2011, Audemars Piguet released a successor Concept watch—the Concept Tourbillon GMT reference 265601O. OO.D002CA.01.A. Retaining the iconic octagonal-shaped bezel with naked screws, the black bezel is composed of the scratch resistant material ceramic. Encased in a 44mm diameter titanium case with sandblasted finish and a brushed case band, the contrast between the two textures is simply stunning. The dial features the tourbillon-equipped escapement at 9 o’clock and a second time zone indication at 4 o’clock. It features a setting pusher in the case side, and the exceptional function indicator is at 6 o’clock.

The present Concept Tourbillon GMT is preserved in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear. The watch is a tribute to the history of the Royal Oak, and to Audemars Piguet’s commitment to excellence in horology.

F. P. Journe’s Octa collection was first launched in 2001, making it one of the brand’s very first serially produced models. After enjoying a much-appreciated response from enthusiasts and collectors, François-Paul Journe decided to enhance the functionality of the Octa by introducing the improved caliber 1300.3, which required less movement from the wearer to keep the watch wound.

The successor to the Octa Calendrier, F.P. Journe’s automatic annual calendar wristwatch, the current Quantième Perpétuel was first introduced in 2012 in a 40mm or 42mm case in platinum or pink gold, like nearly all modern Journe offerings. Two standout features of the Quantième Perpétuel exemplify the genius of François-Paul Journe: simultaneous, instantaneous jumping of all calendar indications—the date, day, and month—at midnight, and the ability to simply adjust each calendar indication without the use of any tool. The current Quantième Perpétual draws design inspiration from the Octa Divine and the quatrefoil layout. Rather than an offset display, the day, date, month, and power reserve are in quadrants, with the leap year indicator subtly displayed around the center post. This lends itself to extreme legibility and ease of use.

The present Quantième Perpétuel, in a 40mm platinum case, with white gold dial is beautifully finished with a frosted effect, complemented by radial Arabic numerals and blued steel hands. The watch is in excellent, hardly worn overall condition, and is accompanied by its international guarantee card and presentation box, from the collection of the original owner.

Imagined by one of the master watchmakers at Greubel Forsey, Didier Cretin, Cretin was granted with the creative liberty to express his own vision within the framework of the Greubel Forsey atelier.

For the first time in the company’s history, Cretin crafted a manually wound, three-hand timepiece—a significant departure from the brand’s hallmark use of the Tourbillon. This timepiece instead revolves around a custom-engineered balance wheel, carefully designed to uphold Greubel Forsey’s commitment to precision and horological mastery. Encased in the most prestigious of metals—platinum—the Signature 1 also boasts an all-gold dial with constant subsidiary seconds. To enhance contrast, the main dial is treated with black galvanization, beautifully accentuating the rose gold plate beneath.

With a total production limited to just 66 pieces, this particular model is one of only eleven featuring this dial and case combination. Presented as a full set and preserved in like-new, virtually unworn condition, this remarkable timepiece encapsulates the best of modern fine watchmaking, offering a rare opportunity to own a watch co-signed by one of Greubel Forsey’s most visionary artisans.

Greubel Forsey will offer a complimentary service of the watch within 6 months of purchase.

Inspired by the work of the great 18th century watchmaker

Antide Janvier, and certainly the influence of Abraham-Louis Breguet, Journe took up the challenge beginning in 1983 to first create a pocket-watch using the resonance phenomenon and followed it with a wristwatch 16 years later: the world’s first wristwatch to feature the resonance phenomenon. The movement is composed of two independent balances, alternatively serving as an “exciter” and “resonator”. When in motion, the balances create the resonance effect and beat in synchrony, naturally evening out each other’s discrepancies and thus permitting greater accuracy. Two individual 12-hour dials, each with its own small seconds, center the dial architecture.

The present Chronomètre á Résonance is an early, secondgeneration example, as denoted by the reference shift from R (“resonance”) to RN (“resonance nouvelle”), with the first 18K rose gold movement, the caliber 1499.2. The 1499.2 was in production for a very limited time right after Journe transitioned away from rhodium-plated brass movements, likely only between 2005 and 2006. After this period, the 1499.2 was replaced by the 1499.3 distinguished by a different power reserve. The reference RN was discontinued in 2009, and with the combination of an early, symmetrical dial layout, early transitional movement, and overall well-balanced aesthetics, these examples of the renowned Résonance have become highly sought after by collectors.

Offered in excellent overall condition with hardly any signs of wear, the subtle elegance of the white gold dial against the cool platinum case of the present timepiece conveys a restrained opulence suitable for the modern collector.

First released in 1954, the GMT-Master reference 6542 was designed for pilots, and travellers to use while traversing the globe. With the rise of international travel in the 1940s and 1950s, Rolex and Pan American Airlines realised the need for a timepiece that would allow pilots to keep track of dual time zone while traveling and developed an ingenious design with Bakelite bezel with 24-hour luminous numerals, and secondary GMT hour hand on the dial. The reference 6542 was replaced in 1959 with the introduction of the GMT-Master reference 1675, now sporting a metal bezel replacing the fragile Bakelite bezel, and crown guards for added protection. The reference 1675 was in production until approximately 1980, with the majority produced in stainless steel. Like the reference 6542 before it, luxurious, 18 karat gold examples were produced in far smaller quantities.

The present watch is very well-preserved with crisp hallmarks, strong case proportions and well-defined lug bevels. The mahogany brown dial features applied gold, nipple-shaped luminous hour marker that beautifully complements the yellow gold case. The matching brown bezel is a perfect match to the dial and with the large, 39mm case, provides a strong and masculine aesthetic.

Similar to cultural and societal changes in the 1960s and 70s, the horological world saw a fundamental shift when quartz movements began to replace mechanical movements. The “quartz crisis” lead to a decline in Swiss manufacturing, motivating brands to respond with new, sporty luxurious models, while they moved to join the revolution towards developing their own quartz movements.

Rolex’s Oysterquartz line was introduced in 1977 using their own in-house high-precision quartz movement. Catering to those who preferred the higher timekeeping accuracy that quartz regulation enables, these models featured a thinner case and bracelet with sharp, modern angles.

The present reference 19168 is a wonderful representation of Rolex’s most glamorous timepieces of the 20th century. Fitted with an extraordinary bracelet known as the “Octopussy”—a name coined by collectors for Rolex’s most lavish version of the President bracelet. This exclusive bracelet featured round brilliant-cut diamonds on each outer link, set in an unusual cylindrical setting and flanking a center link with baguette-cut diamonds. The cylindrically set diamonds rise prominently above the links, resembling the suction cups of an octopus’s tentacles. Admiring the bracelet from the reverse side, one notices how each and every diamond is individually secured to its link via 18-karat gold screws.

The present factory gem-set model is exceptionally wellpreserved with a crisp case featuring sharp case angles, a baguette-set bezel, and an elegant grey dial. The watch was serviced by Rolex in 2024 and is ready to wear.

First introduced in 2011, the Patek Philippe reference 5961 enhances the sporty elegance of the 5960 by incorporating baguette-cut diamonds into its design. These brilliant-cut diamonds elevate the watch, transitioning it into a dressier category while retaining its modern sport watch appeal. The “ebony black opaline” dial, as described on the official Patek Philippe website, creates a striking contrast against the pink gold case, exuding sophistication. The baguette diamonds set on both the watch’s bezel and deployant clasp not only amplify the watch’s luxury but also give it a refined flair, making it equally suitable for formal occasions as it is for everyday wear.

Boasting an in-house, integrated chronograph movement, remarkable technical innovation within includes a vertical clutch mechanism, making it possible to use the chronograph hand as a continuously running seconds hand without affecting the watch’s accuracy. For this reason, the subsidiary seconds dial traditionally found on the classic Patek Philippe column-wheel chronographs is not needed.

Fresh to the market and presented in exceptional overall condition, it is offered with its full set of original accessories and proves to be the perfect addition to the collection of any modern connoisseur.

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated August 2, 2009, product literature, leather envelope, service box, and presentation box.

Manufactured from 2004 to 2011, reference 5970 was Patek Philippe’s very last perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch series to use a Lemania 2310 based movement. With the introduction of successor reference 5270, Patek Philippe used its own in-house movement. Platinum reference 5970P examples, like the present watch, were only produced from 2008 until approximately early 2011, with, according to scholarship, only approximately 300 to 500 examples estimated to have been made.

Due to its generous and modern case proportions, this reference is a favorite among scholars and the watch community. Since the model was discontinued, it has only increased in popularity and collectability. Compared to its predecessor, the reference 3970, reference 5970 has a significantly larger and heftier case size of 40 millimeters.

While the reference has enjoyed variations such as different gem-set bezels and various dial designs, examples cased in platinum like this watch are true classics. The black dial immediately distinguishes the case metal as platinum, as does the subtle diamond between the lugs at 6 o’clock. Fresh-to-themarket and beautifully preserved, the present lot is offered in excellent, hardly ever worn condition and is accompanied with its original Patek Philippe Certificate, product literature, leather envelope, and presentation box.

PATEK PHILIPPE A highly important, exclusive, and extremely rare factory single-sealed platinum wristwatch with date, bracelet, Certificate of Origin, and presentation box, retailed by Tiffany & Co.

In 2013 Patek Philippe presented a very elusive and mysterious reference 5711 in platinum. A model that was never listed in the brand’s catalogue, never available for viewing and reserved for a select clientele. It is believed that less than 50 examples were made.

At first glance the platinum 5711 may look like its stainless steel sibling, but subtle details set it apart, showing just how exclusive and important the watch really is.

Whereas the dial of the steel watch is blue/ grey, the dial of the platinum model is vivid blue contrasting beautifully with the platinum case. Other subtle details demonstrate that Patek Philippe considers this watch to be truly apart and has extra touches that add up to make all the difference, such as the logo printing on the dial. Whereas on the steel version the logo is directly printed on the fluting of the dial, with the platinum version, a flat recessed area has been created for the logo print. The bevels on the case and bracelet are more prominent than on the steel version and like with all platinum Patek Philippe models, a small diamond on the case at 6 o’clock indicated the use of this precious metal.

Why does watchmaking so often play by the same rules? The Anoma A1 embodies a more experimental and daring vision of watch design, breaking free from traditional constraints with its sculptural approach. It is a design defined by tension between balance and imbalance, softness and sharpness, boldness and subtlety.

The watch’s rounded triangular shape draws inspiration from a free-form table created by Charlotte Perriand in the 1950s. Anoma’s love story with this design began a few years ago, when they first discovered one of these tables at an antique gallery in Paris. It forms the foundation of the A1.

This unique piece created for TimeForArt 2024 is a true expression of Anoma’s artistic sensibilities. Designed in collaboration with Jas Rewkiewicz, the dial features an engraved pattern inspired by optical art, a visual art style that uses geometric shapes, patterns, and colors to create optical illusions. Throughout the design process, Anoma particularly drew inspiration from the works of artists Bridget Riley and Ferruccio Gard.

A sequence of slightly offset triangles is meticulously repeated across the dial, creating a captivating optical illusion that gives the dial a sense of three-dimensionality and dynamic light play. The pattern is engraved directly into the metal base; the dial is then coated in black lacquer, enhancing its glossy finish and the sensation of depth. In keeping with the artistic nature of the watch, the dial remains free of any brand signature or indices, allowing the intricate pattern to take center stage.

ARMIN STROM A unique stainless steel wristwatch with double escapement, two seconds hands, and lapis lazuli dials, sold to benefit Swiss Institute

Independent Swiss watch manufacturer Armin Strom has created a unique, artistic Mirrored Force Resonance model exclusively for the TimeForArt auction. Inspired by renowned artist Franz Gertsch (1930-2022) and his “Blue Phase,” the dial reflects the same hue obtained from the semi-precious lapis lazuli used by Gertsch in his works. And the pigment is sourced from the same spot where Gertsch sourced his pigments. This decorative stone creates a symbolic link to Gertsch’s artistic legacy in this unique timepiece. It is a tribute to the Swiss painter, who was closely connected to the Michel family that owns Armin Strom. This connection stems from a longtime appreciation of the Michel family for Gertsch’s artistic oeuvre, culminating in the family’s dedication of the Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf, Switzerland.

The special dial adorns this Resonance watch, housed in an elegant 43mm stainless-steel case. Armin Strom’s unique Resonance complication ensures that the two balance wheels synchronize and regulate each other in a natural state of resonance. This stabilizes timekeeping and compensates for the effects of gravity and wrist movements. The key benefit of resonance, in timepieces that can resiliently maintain the phenomenon, is its ability to maintain consistent timekeeping and to maximize timekeeping precision. In addition, the kinetic spectacle of resonance affords the wearer a unique, fascinating experience. With the pusher at 2 o’clock, the two seconds hands, which mirror each other in rotating clockwise and counterclockwise, can be reset to zero so that the level of resonance can be visually tracked.

Designed, manufactured, and painstakingly hand-decorated inhouse, the hand-wound movement has a 48-hour power reserve. The open movement framing the unique blue dial is a showcase for the masterful hand-decoration techniques of Armin Strom’s watchmakers. The three-dimensional balance wheel bridges and all bevels are polished by hand, and on the dial side, the surfaces are frosted, perlaged, or circular grained by hand. All parts of the movement—including those that are no longer visible after assembly—are hand-decorated with the utmost care. In addition, the movement is assembled twice by hand to ensure uncompromising quality.

The Mirrored Force Resonance is an extremely rare, complex combination of science and Swiss watchmaking excellence, representing the highest level of craftsmanship and offering exceptional chronometric performance.

As part of the TimeForArt auction, Biver created this unique Automatique in partnership with Swiss artist Guillaume Ehinger. It is called “Echoes of this Moment” and it is a synthesis of the art of watchmaking and the natural beauty that surrounds us. The watch is distinguished by its unique, handmade dial which is based on a series of Ehinger’s abstract paintings inspired by natural landscapes. The white gold dial plate is hand-engraved with organic ripples that recall the ever-changing surface of a lake and then multiple layers of colored enamel are applied. This gives the dial a shimmering effect, with shades of red and grey shifting and changing in the light. As with Ehinger’s paintings, the dial invites the viewer to experience each elusive moment as its own unique memory. Turning the watch over and looking through the sapphire caseback, you will find a special version of the Calibre JCB-003, with its 22k gold micro-rotor bearing the watch’s name and the artist’s signature. All of this is housed in a stainless steel case, a first for the new Automatique, traditionally offered only in platinum and rose gold. The watch is paired with a cotton and Alcantara strap with a stainless steel pin buckle (another first for the Automatique) to complete the package..

BREITLING A unique pink gold wristwatch with perpetual calendar, moon-phase, and chronograph, sold to benefit Swiss Institute

Founded in 1884, Breitling is celebrating its 140th anniversary with a groundbreaking addition: the Caliber B19, the brand’s first perpetual calendar chronograph movement. Equipped with a full calendar and moon-phase, it automatically adjusts for leap years and months of varying lengths, capable of running for nearly a century without needing a major adjustment. With an impressive 96-hour power reserve, this new caliber is making its debut in three limited-edition 140th-anniversary models, each limited to 140 pieces, representing Breitling’s icons: the Premier, the Navitimer, and the Chronomat.

In keeping with the brand’s “140 Years of Firsts” celebrations, Breitling is unveiling an exclusive one-of-a-kind Navitimer for TimeForArt. This “One of One” 140th-anniversary piece with its distinctive green dial highlights Breitling’s commitment to both innovation and style.

Originally developed in 1952 for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Navitimer was designed as the ultimate flight computer, combining a chronograph with a circular slide rule to perform flight calculations directly from the wrist. Its functional yet stylish design quickly attracted star athletes, musicians, and astronauts—becoming the first Swiss wristwatch in space in 1962. The TimeForArt Limited Edition showcases the famous slide rule on a green dial with black sub-dials, paired with an alligator leather strap and an 18k gold folding buckle.

BULGARI A unique pink gold wristwatch with chronograph and GMT function, sold to benefit Swiss Institute

Over the past decade, the Octo Finissimo series has set nine world records, including the world’s slimmest threehand watch to be COSC certified, and the world’s slimmest automatic chronograph.

This year, Bulgari celebrates its 140th anniversary. For this special occasion, the manufacture ventures into uncharted territory as it introduces a series of watches with an illustrated dial, revealing the movement’s back in lieu of the dial—as if you were admiring the watch from the other side, through an open caseback.

The Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT Sketch embodies this innovative approach, featuring a 43mm satin-polished rose gold case with a slimness of 8.75mm to elegantly house its GMT chronograph complications. The automatic manufacture movement with a peripheral oscillating weight provides a 55-hour power reserve. This design, pivotal for the watch’s record-breaking thinness when released in 2019, incorporates a caliber measuring a mere 3.3mm in height that not only includes a 30-minute chronograph and central second but also displays a second time zone at 3 o’clock.

Make-up was an essential of feminine allure for Gabrielle Chanel. This unique wristwatch features a representation of Mademoiselle Chanel with the iconic accessories that she loved to wear: pearl earrings, long necklaces in accumulation, and cuffs in duo.

The CHANEL Watch Creation Studio was inspired by the bright colors and portrait style of the Pop Art artistic movement to design the dial of this piece. The dial, in shades of pink, violet, and blue is realized thanks to the traditional “Grand Feu” enamel technique, produced at Cadraniers de Genève, property of F.P. Journe. This technique consists of dropping liquid enamel on the 18 karat white gold dial, then baking the dial at 800-degrees Celsius. This delicate operation is repeated several times, requiring extreme precision and expertise to obtain the expected color and finish. The motif of the dial is revealed by 12 clichés manually pad-printed on the dial. Each cliché has been designed by the CHANEL Watch Creation Studio and corresponds to a specific motif and color: the black outline of Gabrielle, beige skin, blue hair, red nails, touches of white, etc. Some clichés are pad-printed using ink, while others are in “Grand Feu” enamel.

Cased in blackened stainless steel and beautifully embellished with baguette diamonds on its bezel, this unique wristwatch made for TimeForArt is powered by a mechanical, manually wound movement.

Established in 1874. Reimagined for today. Founded by Aaron Lufkin Dennison, who also founded the Waltham Watch Co., Dennison was established in 1874, ultimately becoming one of the major case makers of the 20th century. From the U.S. to the luxury markets of Europe, A.L. Dennison’s influence on the craft of watchmaking was profound. His innovative patent filed in 1872 for an air and watertight watch case was a revolutionary advancement in the industry.

For the next hundred years, Dennison became the “name behind the names,” crafting cases for some of the world’s most distinguished brands like Rolex, Omega, Jaeger LeCoultre, and more. Dennison cases also made notable entries into historical events. Thirteen Smiths watches encased in Dennison “Aquatite” cases accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on their historic summit of Everest. Dennison was also on the wrist of Lt. Commander Lithgow when he broke the world airspeed record in the Supermarine Swift.

Relaunched as a watch brand in October 2024, this pièce unique is the first watch in Dennison’s modern production run. This stunning piece was designed by world-renowned Swiss watch designer Emmanuel Gueit, who has designed iconic watches for Rolex, Piaget, and Audemars Piguet, including the Royal Oak Offshore. The A.L.D. Infinite Blue features a cushion case in blue gold PVD, inspired by Dennison cases of the 1940s, and a stunning geometric blue textured, embossed dial.

Accompanied by Furlan Marri certificate, presentation box, and an additional stainless steel mesh bracelet.

Furlan Marri dresses its Disco Volante in warm tones using stromatolite stone, creating a unique piece for TimeForArt 2024.

Stromatolites, the most prevalent form of microbialites, are plentiful in rocks that are over 3.5 billion years old. Distinguished by its hues of brown, yellow, and grey, the stromatolite’s various layers merge these colors, forming an almost abstract painting on the dial, with steel indexes at 12 o’clock and Super-LumiNova on the hands.

Originating in the late 1930s, Disco Volante (Italian for “flying saucer”) designs are defined by their sleek round cases and large, yet invisible lugs concealed beneath the case. Furlan Marri brings its own vision to the Disco Volante with a keen eye on modern trends, sporting a 38mm case in stainless steel.

The heartbeat of the watch is the caliber 7001 from Peseux, known for its reliability and precision since the 1970s. Moreover, at just 2.5mm thick, the caliber 7001 was the ideal choice for this project. This manually wound watch—providing 42 hours of power reserve—revives the Art Deco style, featuring design codes from the 1930s to 1950s but with an intermediate diameter. Meanwhile, Furlan Marri has meticulously redesigned the bridges, incorporating hand-finished, diamond-polished edges and a crown wheel and screws that are black-polished and chamfered around the stones, with all beveling done by hand in Geneva.

The S1 Titanium “TimeForArt 2024” is a one-of-a-kind version of the S1 Titanium collection that will be released in the near future. It is a timepiece that shows that the future is bright at HYT and that more is to come. And since HYT also aligns itself with doing good in the world and wants to wish contemporary art and artists a bright future, HYT created the S1 Titanium “TimeForArt 2024” that is, in a way, a perfect blend of horological and visual art.

At the heart of the HYT “masterpiece” lies the caliber 501-CM. The absence of a dial offers a perfect view of an intriguing and revolutionary movement that could be described as functional, kinetic art. The fine sandblasted and brushed finishes and the black coating of the movement are much more contemporary. Futuristic is the correct term to describe the two bellows that expand and contract to show the hours through a black fluid. The open-worked design of the HYT S1 Titanium “TimeForArt 2024” grabs attention with a powerful look, compelling one to discover its many delicate details, making a lasting impression with its technical presence. This latest and unique HYT timepiece is as much an inventive piece of micro-engineering with no equal as it is an eruption of artistic watch design.

Louis Erard proudly presents a one-of-a-kind creation designed exclusively for the TimeForArt auction, where fine watchmaking meets contemporary art. This extraordinary piece is the result of a collaboration with Olivier Mosset, the iconic and avant-garde Swiss artist known for his rebellious approach to abstract art. The watch features a chameleon-like design, with the tone-on-tone blue dial and hands shifting from blue to violet depending on the light, echoing the effect of Mosset’s “Untitled” work displayed at MAMO Centre d’art de la Cité Radieuse in 2018. The dial is free of labels and logos, presenting a pure artistic expression. The hands—batons for the hour, minute, and seconds—are identical in length, width, and rounded ends. There’s just one detail: the size of the hole that gives the direction, a minimalist touch that ensures legibility without compromising the artistic vision.

Accompanied by a red seal marked “work of art—do not wear,” this masterpiece underscores its status as an art object. The watch also includes two interchangeable straps, with one signed by the artist. Through bold artistic collaborations like this, Louis Erard continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, captivating collectors and contemporary art enthusiasts worldwide.

Accompanied by Maurice Lacroix presentation box and outer packaging.

This year, as part of the TimeForArt auction, Maurice Lacroix has created a unique piece in collaboration with the acclaimed Mexican artist Rodrigo Hernández. The artist was granted full freedom to reinterpret the Swiss brand’s MASTERPIECE Skeleton in his own unique style. Inspired by Hernández’s exhibition at the Wattis Institute in San Francisco and the philosophical question, “Are humans the only dreamers on Earth?”, the watch depicts two monkeys staring at each other. The primates are handcrafted in bronze to form a bewitching dial.

Equipped with the Masterpiece ML134 Manufacture Caliber, the hand-wound movement features a three-quarter plate, conferring torsional rigidity to the skeletonised structure. Both the plate and bridges are executed in a golden sandblasted finish, complementing the artistic bronze dial. Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, has been used in the making of important statues for thousands of years. Hernández also selected the material for the model’s case as it is often viewed with reverence, making it an ideal medium for this wrist-worn sculpture. Measuring 43mm in diameter, the case incorporates a sapphire caseback and bears the artist’s signature at 9 o’clock. Lastly, a hand-braided leather strap was selected by the artist to complement the handcrafted dial.

The Maurice Lacroix MASTERPIECE Skeleton ‘With what eyes?’ unites the worlds of watchmaking and art through a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and design.

Perrelet has always treated the dial of its Turbine collection as a blank canvas, ready to receive countless motifs in ever-changing designs and colors, which are then revealed by the whirling motion of its distinctive turbine. It was therefore natural for the brand to join the Swiss Institute’s initiative in support of the arts, and to choose to work with Chris Alexander, known as The Dial Artist, to create an exclusive one-off piece dedicated to this benefit auction.

The unique piece “Perrelet X The Dial Artist—TimeForArt Edition” is an expression of the British artist’s unmistakable and eclectic style, which is rich in symbolism. Influences from his childhood in the colorful rainbow nation of South Africa come together, mixed with elements of Street/Urban Art, pop culture, astrology, and Abstract Expressionism. On the dial of the watch, icons, inspired partly by graffiti and urban arts, stand out: stars, inscriptions, skulls, crosses, hearts. Here, however, the artist did more than just paint the dial: he has also included the turbine blades in the composition, adorning them with colorful dots and segments, some in green and turquoise Super-LumiNova. Turning themselves on with the slightest gesture of the wrist, the blades create colorful spirals which, in the dark, appear to contract or expand depending on the direction of rotation, with a hypnotic and fascinating effect.

It encourages contemplation of the landscapes and the rolling hills of the Jura balcony in Switzerland, and it features a base with hand-gilded motifs that replicate the topography of the Sainte-Croix region, its place of origin.

The musical movement has been placed to indicate the factory site of Reuge and the field of wheat from which the ears of wheat come.

In a captivating golden ballet, twelve carefully selected and stabilized ears of wheat sway in harmony with the music, immersing viewers in its enchanting ambiance. Slightly Windy is conceived to evoke and celebrate this graceful dance of nature, even during the depths of winter.

It is thanks to the musical mechanism associated with an automaton that the ears of wheat come to life, thereby reproducing the organic spectacle of Nature. Various drawing techniques, as well as many hours of work, were necessary for the craftswoman to create the different gildings with 22-karat gold leaf.

Sartory-Billard, founded by Armand Billard, is renowned for blending artistic craftsmanship with technical precision in watchmaking. The SB04 created for TimeForArt exemplifies this with a laser-engraved dial by American craftsman Ron Elkins, based on a design created by Armand Billard.

The dial is made from American-sourced brass, which is significant for a brand that places a strong emphasis on the use of high-quality materials. Brass is favored not only for its American origin for this project and its durability but also for its ability to take on intricate engravings, making it an ideal canvas for the elaborate eagle design seen on the SB04.

What truly distinguishes this dial, in addition to the striking animal figure, is the forced patina applied to the brass. The patina, which is deliberately induced through chemical processes, serves to enhance the visual depth and texture of the engraving, allowing the details to stand out in relief. This process gives the dial a sense of age and character, contributing to the unique identity of this piece.

The painstaking study of the design, the meticulous attention to detail, the cutting-edge calibers from the company’s own workshop at Le Cercle des Horlogers, and the excellence of the handcrafted finishes, make each Speake Marin timepiece a true work of art.

Speake Marin has a strong connection with art in all its facets.

To mark its second participation in the TimeForArt charity auction, it has created an exclusive and precious one-off: “Promenade à New York.”

This unique piece, powered by the in-house self-winding movement SMA03, has a 42mm diameter round Piccadilly case in grade 5 polished and brushed titanium, which becomes the frame for a stunning “painting.”

The mother-of-pearl dial serves as a blank canvas, capturing the cherished memories of Mrs. Christelle Rosnoblet, the brand’s President and CEO, from one of her extended stays in New York City, where she often enjoyed leisurely Sunday afternoon walks in Central Park.

Brushes and paints depict the impressive Gapstow Bridge in an evocative fall landscape, where the canopies turn gold, bronze, and orange, contrasting with the blue sky and the sparkling reflections on the water. There are so many details to get lost in, carefully and skillfully painted on a micro-painting, that took a week to complete.

The B/1M is a continuation of the brutalist design language established with Toledano & Chans’ first watch, the B/1.

The Toledano & Chan B/1 meteorite draws its inspiration from the angular lines of brutalist architecture, in particular the windows of the Marcel Breuer Whitney Museum in Midtown New York City.

The B/1 meteorite is a prototype, and as the name would suggest, is made primarily of meteorite—the case, dial and lugs— while the strap is crafted from ostrich leg skin. The caseback and crown are made from sandblasted stainless steel, and the handset from DLC-coated stainless steel.

Toledano & Chan was first established in 2021, a partnership between watch enthusiasts with artistic pursuits in their own right, Phillip Toledano and Alfred Chan. The first B/1 wristwatch was released in May 2024 to widespread delight, selling out within weeks.

Phillip Toledano is a widely exhibited conceptual artist, with seven published books to his name, and an entrepreneur. Alfred Chan has been designing watches for over a decade, working for Japanese, European and American brands.

In 2023, Rolex celebrated the 60th anniversary of the iconic Daytona Cosmograph, which first premiered in 1963 and today is one of the most sought after and iconic timepieces ever produced.

The reference 126500LN was released in 2023 and is very much a 21st century Daytona Cosmograph housing Rolex’s caliber 4131 and sporting an updated Cerachrom bezel, first introduced in 2016 with the reference 116500LN. The 40mm diameter case was redesigned with a slimmer profile and downturned lugs compared to earlier models. The Cerachrom bezel now has a thin metallic edge to better protect the bezel from damage if accidentally dropped. The dial, still available in white with black subsidiary dials or black with silvered chapter rings, has a modern appeal with smaller hour markers and thinner fonts. The dial also has a small Rolex crown at 6 o’clock indicating a new generation movement now fitted with Rolex’s highly accurate and efficient Chronergy escapement.

The present watch is offered in brand new, unworn condition with factory stickers still affixed, and is accompanied by all of its original accessories. An absolute instant success with clients, waitlists immediately filled up at retailers upon its introduction and now are measured in years, rather than months.

One of the most endearing limited editions ever released by A. Lange & Söhne, the 1815 Moonphase “Emil Lange” was introduced in 1999 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Emil Lange’s birth, and produced in a limited run of just 250 pieces in pink gold and 150 pieces in platinum. Upholding the tradition of the 1815 collection, it features the iconic railway minute chapter ring with three dots at the quarter markers—a design element also present on the Tourbillon Pour Le Mérite introduced during Lange’s resurgence in 1994, as well as on historic Lange pocket watches.

Departing from the standard Arabic numerals found in the 1815 collection, the “Emil Lange” showcases only the Arabic numeral 12 and round pink gold appliqué indices. The 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions are marked by exquisitely applied gold stars, in harmony with the seven gold appliqués representing the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major, positioned between 6 and 8 o’clock. Boasting a stop-seconds function and a power reserve of 45 hours, the watch is powered by the mechanical caliber L943.1 movement, based on the L941.1 caliber found in the Saxonia family. Through the transparent case back, one can admire the German silver three-quarter plate bridge adorned with refined Glashütte stripes, gold chatons, red jewels, and blued screws, along with the distinctively hand-engraved balance cock.

Numbered 96 out of a limited edition of 250, and preserved in excellent condition with full accessories, this rare timepiece is sure to captivate the discerning connoisseur.

In 2019, A. Lange & Söhne released a stainless steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet: the Odysseus. The watch is named for the hero of Greek mythology, who endured a decade of travails after the Trojan war in the pursuit of returning home to his wife, family, and kingdom. The Odysseus combined the classic stylings of the manufacture: oversized date apertures, elaborately finished movements, and German silver bridges. It introduced a completely new, in-house automatic movement, the L155.1 Datomatic ticking at 4 hertz, with a platinum-rimmed rotor.

The case shape itself is quite a novelty, subtly asymmetrical, combining a round case shape with faceted lugs and a boldly geometric bracelet. Incorporating a tripartite case, the bracelet and lugs are satin finished, with each lug and bracelet link executed with precise chamfers. It is water resistant to 30 meters, and the bracelet was specifically engineered for ease of adjustment and comfort on the wrist. The dial integrates two finishes: a circular guilloche of the outer ring and a hammered inner ring, repeated on the subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock. The dark blue color alternates between a vivid cerulean and a deep navy depending on lighting condition, and each white gold hand or hour marker is filled with luminous material for visibility in darkness.

The present example, consigned by the original owner, is wellpreserved and is accompanied by its full set of accessories. A perfect opportunity for seekers of the present model to acquire an example that is highly demanded by collectors.

The Patek Philippe reference 5960 was introduced in 2006 as the first model to feature the combination of the firm’s inaugural in-house self-winding chronograph and the annual calendar complication. Variations in platinum, then white and pink gold were produced before 2014, when a stainless steel—a rare metal for Patek Philippe to use—iteration was introduced. Coupled with a beads-of-rice style bracelet, it was first produced with a white dial, and then in 2017, with a black dial for only one year. This exclusivity makes it one of the most coveted versions of Patek’s annual calendar chronographs.

Flip the watch over and one is invited to admire the in-house automatic calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H in action through the sapphire caseback. It is a flyback column-wheel chronograph movement fitted with a unidirectional 21K gold rotor, delivering a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour. It boasts a remarkable technical innovation which enables the clamps to act on a disk clutch that transmits or interrupts the power between the fourth wheel and the chronograph hand, thus making it possible to use the chronograph hand as a continuously running seconds hand without affecting the watch’s accuracy. For this reason, the subsidiary seconds dial traditionally found on the classic Patek Philippe column-wheel chronographs is not needed.

Presented in exceptional overall condition, and offered with its full set of original accessories, the present lot is the perfect addition to the collection of any modern connoisseur.

The reference 5070 enjoys a unique position in Patek Philippe’s history as one of the largest watches the brand produced and the last chronograph to use a modified, Lemania 2310-based ébauche before Patek Philippe switched to their in-house caliber with the introduction of the reference 5170.

A worthy and highly anticipated successor to the classic reference 1463 chronograph, which was removed from production in the 1960s, when released in 1998 the 5070 also featured a water-resistant case with a screw-down case back. First released in 18K yellow gold with a black dial, like the present example, the manufacture drew inspiration for the design of the 5070 from a unique, split-seconds chronograph wristwatch from the early 1950s: the extraordinary reference 2512, which measured at an incredible 46.2mm in diameter with influences from the Art Deco period and large aviator’s watches. The reference 2512 is currently housed in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. Later produced in white gold, rose gold, and platinum, the yellow gold reference 5070 was discontinued soon after its launch, yet is the most faithful to the original design inspiration, the 2512.

The present Patek Philippe chronograph from 1999 is offered for the first time at auction and is accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin and presentation box.

Patek Philippe celebrated their 175th anniversary in 2014, and to commemorate this remarkable milestone, released a series of impressive references, all limited editions, epitomizing the horological mastery that has led to the enduring success of this esteemed manufacture. The reference 5575G was a limited-edition of 1,300 timepieces featuring world time and moon phase. It was released alongside the reference 5975, a multi-scale chronograph executed in white, yellow, pink gold, and platinum; the 5275P, an exquisite platinum chiming wristwatch with digital jump hour; and the reference 5175R, the Grandmaster Chime. The collection was the summation of the brand’s long and prestigious history, reflecting on complicated movements and aesthetic refinement.

The reference 5575G was the first Patek Philippe timepiece that combined a world time complication with a moon phase following the lunar cycle. The brand engineered an entirely new caliber for this watch (and the corresponding ladies’ version, the reference 7175 in rose gold), the caliber 240 HU LU (“heures universelle lune”), an ultra-thin automatic movement with a 22 karat gold micro rotor. The moon display is immensely realistic, yet retains an elegance against a nocturnal starry sky, with the skyscape made possible by two sophisticated and highly complex moon phase discs rotating according to the actual orbit of the moon.

The present model is offered complete with its Certificate of Origin, hang tag and presentation boxes. This wonderful world time wristwatch encapsulates the essence of this historic collection.

PATEK PHILIPPE

An extremely well-preserved, important, and highly attractive pink gold perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phase, Italian calendar, tachymeter scale, and bracelet

The reference 1518 was the first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch produced by any brand in series, and set the course for Patek Philippe’s dominance in the world of high-end Swiss watchmaking. So ahead of its time was its design, Patek Philippe continued to use its timeless aesthetic as the foundation for a long line of highly sought after successor models including the references 2499, 3970, 5970 and today’s 5270.

This landmark model can certainly be considered a must for any serious collector of vintage wristwatches but acquiring one has become more difficult given the scarcity of well-preserved examples coming to the market. Scholarship suggests that Patek Philippe produced approximately 281 examples. The majority in yellow gold, with pink gold specimens just a small fraction of the total production.

When introduced during the turmoil of World War II, the reference 1518’s design aesthetic was a new and modern look with clean lines, elegant proportions, and extended, curved lugs. The case, manufactured by Emile Vichet S. A. for Patek Philippe, evolved over the course of its 14 year history. Patek’s exquisitely finished, manually wound caliber 13’’’130 Q is housed inside.

The state of preservation of this example is absolutely impressive, clearly very sparingly worn over its 76-year lifespan. Its case retains the strong lug definition, beautifully brushed, and polished surfaces, and masculine appeal the reference is known for. Two strong and crisp hallmarks, one at the outer, lower edge of the lug and the second on the side of the case are perfectly defined giving further evidence to its remarkable condition. Likewise, the silver dial shows no signs of ever having been restored, with only minor aging evident, and all of the raised, hard enamel printing for the signature, sub-dials and scales remains full and intact.

An additional layer of interest is given by the fact that this specimen features an Italian calendar—perfectly matching the dial without “miles” indication which implies the original sale market of this piece was not in an Anglo-Saxon country. Only 8 of the known pink gold 1518s are marked as having an Italian calendar.

Rolex’s Explorer II reference 16550 replaced the beloved reference 1655, which was a modernized version of the brand’s historic Explorer line of wristwatches. The unique design was originally intended for spelunkers, with a fixed, engraved 24-hour calibrated bezel and additional 24-hour hand that permits the wearer to easily know the correct time in the darkness of caves.

The reference 16550 was a milestone reference. It was introduced in 1985, and was the first mechanical Rolex model fitted with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Produced for only a few years, white dial examples have become a collector’s favorite due to a manufacturing flaw, with the original white color turning a very pleasing ivory or cream hue over time. Early versions of the reference provide further intrigue with their attractive “rail” dial configuration, found in the perfect alignment of the vertical space between the written text across the two lines on the dial at 6 o’clock, with “Superlative” and “Officially” words on the left, and “Chronometer” and “Certified” words on the right. In addition to the color change, the dials were made using a glossy, lacquered finish, giving them a porcelain-like look. The white gold applied luminous hour markers complement the dial of the present example, having aged to a warm beige color.

In original condition, and remaining in our opinion unpolished, this example stands out with its stunning ivory dial, beautifully aged hour markers, and original proportions.

Rolex’s Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most iconic and cherished wristwatches for collectors today, and its evolution is legendary. Over its 65-year plus lifespan, it has become revered for its classic design, durability, and strong masculine appeal. In celebration of the Daytona’s 25th anniversary, Rolex released at Basel in 1988 the first self-winding chronograph model in their history. The technically innovative reference 16520 was powered by an automatic Zenith El Primero caliber, which was substantially modified by Rolex. At the time of the launch, the reference became a cult classic and garnered an immediate waiting list at Rolex retailers.

This “A series” reference 16520 features a Mark III bezel with the “Units Per Hour” denoted by “240” replacing “250” and “225”. The wristwatch is preserved in near new condition, featuring sharp factory finishes preserved throughout. The chronograph features the nearly perfectly preserved original factory sticker on the caseback, and is accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee, having been retailed by Torres Joalheiros, Lisboa, dated March 10, 2000. It is interesting to note the guarantee is punched with the correct country code, 216, for Portugal.

Launched in 1945, Rolex’s Datejust model was originally called the Datejust Jubilee as a celebration of the renowned firm’s 40th anniversary. Over its long history, now spanning eight decades, the Datejust model, similar to the Day-Date, has been produced in many different variations; from different metal types to exotic dials and textured cases. In 1954, the Datejust would introduce the iconic cyclops date magnifier, an emblematic feature found on nearly all Rolex watches with a date aperture up to the present day.

The reference 1601, such as the present watch, was in production from 1959 until 1977 and featured a fluted bezel. Rolex embellished their Datejusts and Day-Dates with additional flair and exuberance by creating delicate hard stone dials to replace the typical silvered dials. Only highest-quality semiprecious stones were sliced and fitted within precious metal (and in rare cases, stainless steel) Datejust cases. These hard stones include tiger’s eye, rubellite, coral, lapis lazuli, malachite, obsidian, opal, and ammonite, as well as jasper like the present lot.

This Datejust from circa 1974 is a very rare red jasper example since most jasper dials typically have a green hue, while this fine example features a uniformly brownish-red hue with no green inclusions. Jasper is a chalcedony stone and thought to have healing and metaphysical properties with red jasper associated with grounding and strength. A timeless classic, this Datejust is sure to captivate with its enduring style and stunning dial.

ROLEX An impressive, extremely rare, and well-preserved yellow gold wristwatch with cloisonné enamel dial depicting “La Caravelle” and center seconds

Phillips is honoured to offer the present, previously unknown Rolex reference 6100 “Caravelle”, an important and highly attractive example of cloisonné enamel craftsmanship.

Cloisonné enamel is considered one of the finest and most complex dial fabrication techniques in haute horologerie. Fine gold wires are first placed on a metal bases to define the subject of the enamel. The sections created with the wire are then filled with powdered enamel colored by metal oxides and fired, which then solidifies the enamel, resulting in a beautiful work of art. Given the hand workmanship for each dial, no two dials are exactly alike with each considered unique.

Compared with modern enamel, vintage enamel dials feature vibrant colors that are especially deep, glossy, and translucent. The skilled artisans who created these exceptional scenes worked with mercury, lead and cyanide, which in the 1940s and 50s were not known for their dangerous health effects, but were subsequently banned by governments. Due to their cost and the limited number of skilled artisans capable of such work, cloisonné enamel dials were made in small numbers and very few were sold during the mid-20th century.

Rolex and Patek Philippe are known for offering the rarest and most important cloisonné enamel dials found in the market. The skilled craftsmanship required is legendary and highly sought after by collectors. The present reference 6100 with “Caravelle”

dial is a wonderful representation of this artistic endeavour and is adorned with a spectacular cloisonné dial made by one of Geneva’s most acclaimed enamellers, Mrs. Marguerite Koch, who worked with Stern to produce some of the most sought after Rolex watches to date.

The dial depicts a multi-coloured sailing vessel “Caravelle” on a blue green sea, topped with faceted baton hour markers, highlighted by applied gilt stars in the sky and outer pearl-like minute markers. The dial, made by Stern Frères, is inscribed on the back with the numbers 103*389 (No. 103 relating to the company, or client who commissioned the dial from Stern—Rolex in this instance), and a code, No. 29, specific for the design of Mrs. Koch. A similar example, reference 6102 with an identical dial motif, was sold at Phillips Geneva in May 2024 (lot 219) for 1,270,000CHF.

The history of horology is both about mechanical craftsmanship, as well as artistic skill and the present Rolex “Caravelle” cloisonné enamel dial wristwatch is a spectacular example of these extremely rare watches. The present watch is offered fresh-to-the-market, wonderfully original, and preserved in overall excellent condition. The dial is spectacular and flawless, while the case is most probably unpolished and is furthermore fitted with its original Rolex Jubilee bracelet in 18 karat yellow gold. We are delighted to offer it in “as found” condition—even the original crystal and rubber gasket remain, making it an important work of art for the discerning collector.

ROLEX An extraordinarily rare, highly alluring, and important yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with green Khanjar logo, tropical sub-registers, and bracelet

Boldly emblazoned in the upper center of the dial of this stunning 18 karat gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is the green “Khanjar”—the national emblem of Oman that features a traditional dagger used for ceremonial occasions. When found anywhere on a watch, it signifies an important object of royal provenance. Such watches were made on commission for the Sultan of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said. An important collector in his own right, His Majesty’s passion for horology is well known.

Khanjar logos come in a variety of colors and positioning on the dial, but the green Khanjar is amongst the rarest. The positioning of the logo is such that it replaces the “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified”, but the Rolex Oyster logo and Cosmograph designation over the 12-hour subdial remains. The dial further impresses with stunning and vibrant, “tropical” sub-dials that have aged uniformly from their original black color to a rich brown color. Further details differentiate this important dial—the subdials are oversized compared with normal production variants, and the subdials feature whitecolored graphics compared with standard champagne colored graphics as normally used.

Previously sold at auction in 2017 by the Italian recipient of the watch in 1990, it was gifted to him by his aunt and uncle in 1990 on the occasion of graduating from medical school. According to the previous auction catalogue, the uncle was well-traveled, and purchased the present 6265 on a business trip to Oman in 1989 for the price of its weight in gold.

A similar 18K yellow gold manually wound Daytona, but a 6263, with Green Khanjar and tropical subdials, is illustrated in Ultimate Rolex Daytona by Pucci Papaleo, page 425.

Originally sold on a strap, since the sale in 2017, the then-buyer and current consignor sourced a 18K yellow gold tapered, riveted Oyster bracelet to be fitted to the watch, transforming an already opulent watch even further. The contrast of the yellow gold case and bracelet, bright green Khanjar logo on the dial, and richly tropicalized subdial combined with its extraordinary rarity renders this remarkable 6265 a trophy watch for the discerning collector.

Beginning in the 1970s, the United Arab Emirates and its seven Arab nations specially commissioned watches from Rolex to be given as gifts for high-ranking officials, foreign dignitaries, and diplomats. Today, they are coveted treasures sought after by collectors around the world.

One of the rarest of these commission pieces are those bearing the “Desert Eagle”, made upon special request for Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Minister of Defense for the United Arab Emirates beginning in 1971, and currently the Ruler of Dubai since 2006. This example was part of a small order of timepieces.

Rendered in polychrome relief printing, the UAE emblem (the Quraysh Hawk) is emblazoned at 6 o’clock, with the Ministry of Defense signature. While the modern emblem shows the colors of the flag within the chest of the hawk, in the 1970s and 1980s, the crest displayed an Arabian sailboat (“dhow”) with two sails—a single sail sailboat is visible on the family emblem of the House of Al Maktoum, one of the ruling families of the UAE.

The present reference 1675 is an extremely rare example of a military-issued Rolex GMT-Master in 18K yellow gold, and is fitted with a luxurious Jubilee bracelet. Underlining its importance, this special Rolex watch features the full serial number engraved inside its case back, as well as UK import marks for 1974.

ROLEX A possibly unique, extraordinarily rare, and impressive stainless steel chronograph

wristwatch with green Khanjar

Watches fitted with “Khanjar” dials were made on special request from His Majesty Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman, and presented as gifts to his closest dignitaries and officials. It was an honor, and sign of respect, to be presented with a Rolex watch depicting the Omani state symbol. Many of these watches are cherished by their original owners, and passed down from one generation to the next.

His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said (1940–2019) was known also for his own formidable watch collection and his passion for horology. His Majesty ascended to the throne at age 30 following studies under the President of India and military training at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, England, where his reign was one of great success. With revenues received from oil sales, he drove transformational advances in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

According to our research, only one other reference 6263 in stainless steel with “Green Khanjar” emblem has appeared at auction. That example was consigned by a descendent of the original owner, with a slightly different dial configuration. Please see lot 121 for another example of a “Green Khanjar” Daytona, this time paired with an 18K yellow gold case.

The present reference 6263 in stainless steel is the only known example featuring both the Green Khanjar and a “Big Red” Daytona logo at 6 o’clock, rendering it possibly unique. A fascinating detail illustrating the importance of these watches for Rolex, the ‘Rolex Oyster Cosmograph’ designation at 12 o’clock is positioned higher than standard production dials, making room for the Green Khanjar. Further enhancing its importance is its caseback, beautifully engraved with a crowned Khanjar. Its condition, along with that of the case, is crisp and shows no signs of ever having been polished. Previously unknown and presented for the first time publicly, it is an exceptionally rare “trophy” watch for the most discerning connoisseur.

The reference 6034 was released by Rolex in 1950 as the successor to the reference 4537 and only produced for approximately five years. The two-body case featured a polished bezel with round chronograph pushers and housed the reliable, manually wound caliber 72.

The present, extremely rare reference 6034 chronograph in 18 karat pink gold is offered for the first time at auction by the family of the original owner. Clearly cherished by the owner and his descendants, the watch is beautifully preserved, having in our opinion, never been polished. The gold case has formed a delightful purple tarnish, retaining its factory proportions and extremely crisp hallmarks on its case back. The dial is original and nicely aged with its original luminous hour markers and hands that have aged to a light brownish hue. The original owner would later purchase a matching bracelet in 14 karat rose gold, as recalled by the family, which features a Rolex clasp – most likely locally produced under license by Rolex.

While already incredibly rare in stainless steel, examples in rose gold such as the present watch are far and few in between. The present watch in this configuration is an exceedingly rare example with only a few examples with the current dial configuration having appeared on the auction market.

The Rolex Daytona chronograph stands among the most iconic timepieces ever created. Since its debut in 1963 with reference 6239, the model has evolved gracefully over the past five decades, becoming a true grail watch for collectors. Produced between 1966 and 1969, the reference 6241 is estimated to have had a production run of no more than 3,000 pieces, with only a fraction fitted with the now-legendary “Paul Newman” dial. Offered in stainless steel, as well as 14-karat and 18-karat gold, the 6241 was the first Daytona to feature a black acrylic bezel, providing a striking alternative to the steel bezel of the earlier reference 6239.

Originally dubbed the “exotic” dial by Rolex, what we now know as the “Paul Newman” dial was not initially well-received, leading to its discontinuation in the early 1970s. Today, however, Paul Newman Daytonas are not just the most coveted vintage chronographs among Rolex enthusiasts—they are legendary. This reputation was cemented when Paul Newman’s personal 6239 Daytona, fitted with the famous dial, fetched a recordbreaking $17.8 million at Phillips’ Winning Icons auction in New York in October 2017.

Fresh to the market, the present watch is offered on behalf of the family of the original owner from South America. The watch was obtained by the present consignor’s father during a trip to Switzerland, and it spent decades in an office desk drawer, forgotten, until being unearthed a few short years ago. Its appearance at auction marks a rare opportunity to own not just an original, distinguished, and highly sought-after chronograph, but also a timeless piece of Rolex history.

Introduced in the early 1940s, the Rolex Anti-Magnetic chronograph reference 4062 bears a design that perfectly reflects and encapsulates this exciting era for chronograph timepieces.

The refined case features rectangular pushers that harmoniously match with the slim case. In most probably unworn condition since the 1940s, the present example is the closest one can get to an untouched example still featuring its original finishing, angles, and even crystal. Still retaining its original factory Rolex sticker on the caseback, we were not able to read the timepiece’s case number, hence leaving this satisfying and intriguing opportunity to the savvy collector that will acquire the timepiece.

A sight to behold, the dial is in equally outstanding condition to its case. Featuring a stunning two-color red and blue telemeter and tachymeter scale, this configuration grants the timepiece an incredibly striking and vibrant appearance. As an added bonus, all applied luminous material is intact and fully original, and has evenly aged to a charming sand hue.

A highly collectible timepiece, the present Rolex reference 4062 is one of the finest examples to ever appear on the market. The accessories that accompany it narrate a story as intriguing as the watch itself. Most probably offered in the 1940s by an official Rolex retailer, the timepiece must have not had much success until the 1980s, when in an attempt to entice new customers, it was given more contemporary accessories.

Patek Philippe is known for their mechanical innovations and master craftsmanship when creating and producing complicated watches. In 2011, they introduced a 21st century timepiece, the Aquanaut Travel Time reference 5164, featuring a practical dual time function indicated by an additional white skeleton hand. The dial depicted both home and local time, along with day and night indication. Fitted with two pushers on the left side of the case band, the pushers easily allowed adjustment of the time while mirroring the right side of the watch for wellbalanced symmetry.

In 2014, Patek Philippe released the reference 5990 featuring the same dual time complication as the Aquanaut Travel Time, but now combined with the in-house, automatic flyback chronograph caliber 28-250. Like other Nautilus chronographs such as the reference 5980, the ref. 5990 incorporates unobtrusive chronograph pushers that helped maintain the iconic design of the original reference 3700 “Jumbo” Nautilus first released in 1976.

Another highly praised detail was the placement of the buttons used to change the local time, cleverly disguised in the left “flap” of the Nautilus case, allowing for minimal modification to the eternal Genta design while keeping the symmetry of the case.

Fresh to the market, this reference 5990/1A is in excellent condition and offered with its original Certificate of Origin and presentation box.

Patek Philippe introduced reference 3712/1A in 2005, and it remained in production for approximately one year—some estimate as few as eight months. Originally designed by the world renowned Gerald Genta, the first Nautilus was presented in 1976. The reference 3712/1A with power reserve, date, and moon phase, was at the time of its launch the most complicated version of the Nautilus made by Patek Philippe. The letters following the official name of the self-winding caliber 240—PS IRM C LU—stand for “petite second” (small seconds), “indication de réserve de marche” (power reserve), “calandrier” (date), and “lune” (moon), all of which are present on the 3712 in an idiosyncratic but somehow harmonious arrangement.

At first glance, the 3712 appears like its successor, the 5712, but there are many noteworthy differences when the details are examined. Most notably, the 3712 has a slightly smaller case measuring 42mm in diameter as it is constructed using only two pieces compared with the more rounded, tripartite 43mm case of the 5712. The dial of the reference 3712 features wider grooves, or channels, and different hour markers than its successor.

Fresh to the market, the present example is in excellent overall condition and is complete with all its original accessories. With its extremely short production period, the reference 3712 is amongst the rarest of all variants of the Nautilus, making it extremely sought after.

Commissioned by a prominent Cartier collector, the present “NSO” or “New Special Order” Cloche de Cartier is a masterpiece of design, speaking to the classicism of Cartier’s style combined with the personal taste of its client. The Cloche, or “bell” in French, resembles most interestingly a service bell, made to be rung at a counter.

First introduced as a case shape in 1921, it was then re-introduced several times as a limited edition by the brand—most notably in 1996 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cartier, and again in 2007 as a limited series of 100 in yellow gold. Other smaller runs were interspersed throughout the 80s and 90s, but none in significant numbers. In 2021, however, Cartier brought the Cloche shape back in full force with versions in yellow gold, pink gold, and platinum, as well as skeletonized versions of each watch offered both with and without diamonds.

After this run, an intrepid collector was inspired to create their own version of the Cloche. A fan of black dials and platinum cases, the present NSO Cloche features a deep anthracite sunburst dial with Breguet, or pomme, style hands and white stylized Arabic numerals rather than Roman numerals seen on previous production models. In pristine overall condition, from the original owner’s collection, this impressive Cloche is accompanied by all of its original accessories, ready to be enjoyed by a new collector.

Patek Philippe’s Calatrava wristwatch is one of the most iconic and archetypal timepieces manufactured by the firm. Their original reference 96 has been an inspiration since its introduction in 1932, evolving over the decades as a classic time only watch. Inspired by the Bauhaus aesthetic canon of “form follows function,” that resulted in a timeless purity and harmony of case lines, it is still echoed today in the firm’s designs.

The reference 5032 was in production from 1995 to 2001 with a small number made in a limited edition of 100 examples, in celebration of the new millennium. These limited edition Calatrava timepieces differed from standard production models with a dial featuring dagger hour markers compared to baton, and a single Breguet numeral “2” at the 2 o’clock honoring this historic year. The outer dial was marked with Arabic five minute divisions, while the standard model had pearl markers. The case had a sloped and polished bezel, opposed to the rounded, stepped case, and the standard crown was replaced with a cabochon ruby.

Fresh-to-the-market, well-preserved, and accompanied by its full suite of accessories, this Calatrava Millennium is a reminder of Patek Philippe’s limited edition models manufactured to celebrate the new millennium. This Calatrava shared the spotlight with other notable Patek Philippe masterpieces like the Star Caliber 2000, and the rectangular 10-day reference 5100.

Known to collectors around the world as the “King of Complications,” Patek Philippe produced its first perpetual calendar wristwatch in 1925, and since then has introduced references such as the 1526, 3448, and 3940, each marking a milestone for the brand as it continues to improve its technical prowess and timeless designs.

In 2012, Patek Philippe launched reference 5940, a successor to the distinguished reference 5040, both notable as the only non-round perpetual calendars in the brand’s history. Initially available in yellow gold, Patek Philippe introduced pink gold and white gold variations in 2014, with the present example encased in a stunning pink gold cushion-shaped case.

Its elegant design features applied pink gold Breguet numerals, gold feuille hands, and a refined dot minute track around the dial’s edge—all details exemplifying originality to Patek Philippe’s DNA. The art-deco inspired font on the date wheel adds a certain vintage charm, enhancing its appeal to collectors who adore Patek Philippe’s history. Inside, the watch is powered by the renowned caliber 240, a movement first introduced in 1977, with a 22K gold micro-rotor that enables its ultra-slim profile.

Fresh to the market and accompanied by its original accessories, the reference 5940 stands as a testament to nearly a century of Patek Philippe’s mastery in crafting complicated timepieces.

The reference 5059 was introduced in 1998 to replace the previous reference 5050, the first serially produced perpetual calendar with a retrograde date by Patek Philippe. Discontinued in 2006, the 5059 was produced in all four precious metals and is particularly noteworthy for its “officer”-style hinged case back and elongated lugs with screwed pins. Though the case diameter measures 36 millimeters, the shape and size of the lugs, as well as the thickness of the case and its domed bezel, give the 5059 a significant presence on the wrist. Cased in white gold, it is particularly elegant and sublime, even more so given the stark white dial contrasted with the painted black Roman numerals. As it was originally sold in Italy, the day and month are featured in Italian—a rarity for the reference.

The reference 5050 and 5059 share the sophisticated, selfwinding caliber 315 S-QR with its striking 21K gold rotor, based on the caliber 315 SC featuring center seconds. A robust and state-of-the-art in-house movement, it features an intriguing retrograde date complication as part of its perpetual calendar function. At the end of each month, the date hand automatically flies back to its original starting point—a very difficult function to reliably implement in watchmaking.

Presented in excellent overall condition with its Certificate of Origin, presentation box and papers, this reference 5059 in 18K white gold is an elegant and versatile watch suitable for any occasion.

First introduced in 1936, the Cartier Tank Asymétrique, originally called the Parallélogramme, emerged during a highly innovative era when La Maison was experimenting with bold case designs and unique forms. A creative twist on the classic Tank model, the Tank Asymétrique featured a case and dial rotated by 30 degrees, while still allowing it to sit flat on the wrist. The design was a perfect embodiment of Cartier’s 20th-century design philosophy, showcasing the brand’s continuous push to redefine form and aesthetics. It stands alongside legendary models such as the Tank Cintrée, Crash, Cloche, and Baignoire, all of which are integral to Cartier’s illustrious history.

Exclusively available at the Cartier Fifth Avenue Mansion in New York, the present lot was released in a limited series, reserved only for the boutique’s best clients. Housed in the noblest metal, platinum, the watch showcases a blue dial with a radial texture, reminiscent of fireworks against the night sky. Paying tribute to the Fifth Avenue Mansion, the watch features a uniquely designed dial that displays only the odd numbers in Arabic numerals, with the 5 o’clock position marked as “5th,” symbolizing Fifth Avenue. The even numbers on the dial are rendered in a lighter shade of blue, creating a perfect harmony that complements the overall design. The back of the watch features a unique laser-engraved emblem dedicated to the New York Mansion.

With the growing demand for asymmetrical watches, this timepiece is an ideal choice for serious Cartier collectors who appreciate the brand’s rich history with shapes, combined with a subtle, “if-you-know-you-know” element for added exclusivity.

The Lange 1 and its subsequent evolutions is undoubtedly the collection best exemplifying not only the rebirth of A. Lange & Söhne but that of Saxon watchmaking.

The present iteration of the Lange 1 includes a highly useful function, a second time zone indication. A. Lange & Söhne included an entire subsidiary dial at 4 o’clock for the local time, and also added a city ring to the outer rim of the dial. The small arrow within the local time dial points at the city for which the local time is currently set. This solution allows for an outstanding aesthetic impact of the piece, which acquires somewhat of a “world time” vibe, and it is enormously practical. The watch further features day/night indications for both local and home time, avoiding the very common issue of confusing night and day. Operationally, the piece features a quick-setting pusher at 10 o’clock, and a second pusher at 8 o’clock. This second pusher allows for quick setting of the date, extremely useful in case the date at the local destination does not match the one at the user’s home location.

The present lot was part of the extremely rare and hardly ever seen debut series released to participating jewellers on July 8, 2005. The exclusive sets of three consisted of a platinum, yellow gold and pink gold model. The watches are in excellent overall condition and accompanied by their complete accessories. This extraordinary set meets the standard of Walter Lange who said of the collection “May the LANGE 1 Time Zone be a dependable companion on all your journeys around the world”.

Replacing the reference 5140, Patek Philippe introduced the 5327 in 2016 in pink, yellow, and white gold, each with contrasting dial colors. The 18K white gold version, like the present example, is fitted with a “royal blue” sunburst dial and elegant Breguet numerals. Within beats Patek Philippe’s venerable in-house perpetual calendar movement, the caliber 240 Q stamped with the Patek Philippe seal.

Upsized from 37mm to 39mm, the 5327 remains slim at only 10mm thickness. The progression from 3940 to 5140 to 5327 feels natural as Patek Philippe modernizes and adapts to changing tastes. While the larger case speaks to this evolution, the Breguet numerals and layout harkens to the most elegant and classic of Patek Philippe’s designs.

Preserved in excellent condition, the present 5327G is offered with all of its original accessories.

The reference 5951 is one of the most intriguing modern creations of Patek Philippe. It was produced in three different series, starting with the present example, indeed a representative of the first series—defined by its black dial with red chronograph hands. A highly sporty design—not only due to the red hands, but also to the contrasting counters and chapter ring—it is very far from the usual super complicated Patek Philippe dress watch, while at the same time being one of the most advanced timepieces made by the brand. It in fact employs what is the thinnest split seconds chronograph ever created by the company—also used for sister reference 5950. The caliber was then upgraded with a perpetual calendar module complete with moon phase, leap year, and day/night indication—all presented elegantly and subtly included in the lower part of the dial.

The case design as well is highly charismatic, Patek Philippe having opted for a retro choice: a cushion-shape design harkening back to the 1920s/1930s, possibly inspired by a unique 1928 single-button white gold Patek Philippe chronograph (no. 198’207). Combined with the red-accented, modernist dial of the first series, such a vintage case architecture renders the piece an absolutely striking example of retro-futuristic design.

The present example is offered for the first time at auction by the original owner, preserved in immaculate, hardly worn condition and accompanied by its full suite of accessories. It is a model that is a shining example of haute horologerie.

On June 23rd, 1972, the Comité de Prestige et de Propagande Nationale de France awarded Vacheron Constantin the “Diplôme du Prestige de la France” at the Ritz in Paris to commemorate the brand’s commitment to technical and design excellence. To perpetually honor such an accolade and to celebrate the occasion of its new Parisien boutique located at 2 Rue de la Paix, the brand introduced an elegant wristwatch that epitomized the spirit of the prestigious award, and named it so.

With a distinct elongated trapezoidal shape, curved slightly to contour to the wrist, the Prestige de la France was made available in a variety of case metals and sizes. The present example, the larger size, boasts an extremely elegant and rarely seen white gold case and matte black dial that is perfect for evening events. It is furthermore well-preserved in excellent overall condition.

Fashion of the 1970s experienced a period of upheaval and change reflecting a shift in both social and cultural trends, moving from the mod fashion of the 1960s to a bohemianinfluenced style, alongside the glam of the disco era. One of the most recognizable trends was large, bold accessories from eyewear to jewellery focused on craftsmanship with textured and woven handcrafted goldwork. Piaget was at the forefront of this new design aesthetic and their ladies’ bracelet and cuff watches from the early 1970s became status symbols for the jet set, worn by superstars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Andy Warhol.

The reference 9852 perfectly captures the exuberance of this remarkable era. Piaget released the model at Basel in 1970 for a young Avant garde clientele who wanted to stand out for their fashionable panache. The model was offered with a variety of stone dials, from mother-of-pearl, onyx, coral, and like the present model, lapis lazuli. These dials perfectly complement the wonderful goldwork of the textured case and elegant openwork bracelet, adding an air of sophisticated glamour.

The present bracelet watch is in excellent overall condition with a well-preserved and flawless lapis lazuli dial. The watch has an interesting and possibly unique feature when compared to other similar models where the dial has been rotated 90 degrees so that the 12 o’clock is now at the crown position. While the decision for this design feature cannot be known for certain, this was probably a special request by a client. The timepiece is beautifully constructed with the off-center placement of the dial giving this work of art an elegant touch.

Following in the footsteps of the perpetual calendar model, Audemars Piguet introduced the reference 25572 as a medium complication day/date in 1983, though it was initially referred to as the reference 5572. The reference remained in production until 1998, where production dipped between 1985 and 1995, and then came back into vogue during the last three years of production. A total of 1,770 examples were made: 576 in steel, 524 in yellow gold, 654 in steel and yellow gold, and 16 in white gold.

The day and date disks are showcased in two different subdials elegantly arranged at the center of the dial, respectively on the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. This configuration renders the dial clean and well-balanced, making it extremely appealing and appreciated amongst collectors.

Originally white, the dial of the present example has developed a warm patina tending to the cream/off-white color. Preserved in lovely condition, it comes complete with its original Certificate of Origin and coveted green leather octagonal presentation box.

Literature

Similar examples are illustrated in Secrets of Vacheron Constantin by Franco Cologni pages 128–129 and 267.

Since the late 19th century, the Paris-based jeweler Verger Frères has fabricated revered, high jewelry ornaments, watches, and clocks. During and following the “Roaring 1920s”, Verger Frères earned the reputation of being a master of Art Deco.

Producing objects of the highest quality, between 1875 and 1938 Verger Frères worked in collaboration with Vacheron Constantin, using their high-grade movements for the timepieces they created. This long-term partnership reached its pinnacle at the end of the “Années Folles”, when GustaveAubert Verger patented the shutter wristwatch.

With its narrow slats opening like Venetian blinds, the ingenious mechanism formed a protective shield for the fragile crystal and precious dial. The present watch is a very rare example of a version with horizontally oriented shutters. The shutters open flawlessly by turning the crown at 3 o’clock. There is a crown at 9 o’clock for winding and setting of the movement. Featuring a yellow gold bezel atop a white gold, perfectly square case, this rare Verger Frères watch made for Vacheron Constantin would add a charismatic and distinctive Art Deco touch to any collection.

Launched in 1981, the reference 3800 was Patek Philippe’s iteration of the original Nautilus ref. 3700, in a slightly smaller case. Measuring 37.5mm diameter, the ref. 3800 is perhaps the perfect unisex wristwatch in modern times. The reference was manufactured with a wide array of case materials and dial variations, making it one of the most interesting luxury sports models manufactured by Patek Philippe to collect. Manufactured until 2006, the reference was launched in four series during its lengthy production spanning 25 years.

The 3800/2 differs slightly from the 3800 with the presence of diamonds set to the external edge of the bezel. A more subtle touch of elegance and luxury than the more commonly seen single or triple row of diamonds to the bezel, it is an extremely rare iteration of the mid-size Nautilus, as this is the first ever example in this combination to come to market. The present, fresh-to-the-market example, with a diamond-set deep navy dial, is in exceptionally well-preserved condition with crisp bevels, sharp hallmarks to the caseback, and a tight bracelet.

First introduced in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stands as one of the defining wristwatch designs of the 20th century. Released at the height of the quartz crisis, this groundbreaking steel timepiece—priced higher than any other in its category— was initially expected by many to lead the company into financial ruin. Yet, over the past five decades, the Royal Oak has become the driving force behind Audemars Piguet’s success, evolving into its signature product line.

The current offering, an 18-karat white gold Royal Oak, is among the rarest iterations of the original reference 5402, affectionately known as the “Jumbo.” Measuring 39mm in diameter, the watch’s iconic octagonal bezel is secured by mirror-polished white gold hexagonal screws, which create a striking visual contrast against the brushed finish of the bezel.

This particular 5402 is one of the earliest white gold “Jumbo” Royal Oaks, distinguished by the No.7 engraved on the caseback. Its dial features discreet diamond hour markers that subtly illuminate the design without overwhelming its elegance. Adding to its allure is the exquisite “tropical” golden hue of the dial—a highly coveted and rare characteristic.

The present lot is fresh-to-the-market, recently acquired by the consignor directly from the original owner’s family. Offered as a complete set, which is exceptionally rare given its age, this piece includes its original Audemars Piguet certificate, manuals, a recently ordered extract (2024), and the original octagonal leather presentation box with outer packaging.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1954, and its subsequent sale on October 1st, 1954. Additional, later custom-made sapphire crystal back in 18 karat gold.

Patek Philippe’s reference 2526 is a paragon of mid-20th century design aesthetic. The brand’s first self-winding wristwatch, it is a legend in the horological world for both its innovative caliber 12-600AT and classic masculine design with sensual enamel dial. Introduced in 1953, it has a timeless quality that is as contemporary today as it was 66 years ago. The automatic, in-house caliber, produced from 1953 until approximately 1960, is a work of art with the handcrafted 18k gold guilloché bi-directional rotor crested with the PP signature. It is considered by many to be amongst the finest automatic movements ever made.

The present example is fresh-to-the-market with a ”first series” off-white enamel dial featuring the recognizable flared enamel surrounding the top and bottom of each hour marker, as well as around the centers of the hour, minute, and seconds hands. The movement is stamped “HOX” indicating the watch was destined for the United States, and this is further confirmed by the crisp 18K gold hallmark to the case back, another feature found on watches exported to the States. It is interesting to note that the watch is accompanied by an additional, later associated sapphire screw back so the movement is visible—custom made at significant expense.

With a flawless dial, it is a lovely example of a reference 2526 featuring the qualities that attract connoisseurs today. Its large size, easy wearability, and iconic design make this an exceptional wristwatch for any collector.

Reference 570 was Patek Philippe’s very first “large” Calatrava model that was produced in series. At the time of production, the reference was the largest time-only wristwatch produced by the firm. Manufactured from 1938 to 1972, the model was cased predominantly in yellow gold, and rarely in pink gold, white gold, stainless steel and platinum. The reference featured a multitude of dial variations. While some were fitted with Breguet numerals, others were two-tone in design. A total of 390 570s in stainless steel have appeared publicly.

Only three reference 570s signed by the vaunted Venezuelan retailer were previously known to the market, two in 18K pink gold and one in 18K yellow gold. The present example is the first stainless steel 570 signed Serpico y Laino to appear on the market, fitted with a stunningly aged Arabic-dot two-tone dial with railway track remaining completely original and unrestored. An exceptionally dynamic combination, it is ensconced in a likely unpolished case, with a sharply defined bezel and full lugs, giving it unprecedented appeal on the wrist beyond its 36mm case size.

The present watch was purchased directly from the widow of the original owner in Venezuela, making this “two-owner” watch highly desirable for its unique aesthetics and originality.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives dated August 2024 confirming production of the present watch in 1951, and its subsequent sale on July 19th, 1952.

Patek Philippe’s landmark vintage chronographs include the references 130, 533, 591, 1463, 530 and 1579 with the references 591 and 1579 standing out for their exceptional and unusual sculptural lugs. The reference 1579 is also referred to as the “spider” lug chronograph featuring one of the most impressive case designs from the mid-20th century. Released in 1943 at Basel and in production until 1964, the oversized, 36mm diameter Wenger case with faceted downturned lugs and rectangular chronograph pushers has an unconventional look that remains sophisticated with an elegant appeal.

The present example is in excellent condition and while the majority of chronographs have speed related scales like the tachymeter printed on the dial, the present example features the rarer pulsometer scale intended for a doctor. Research indicates this chronograph is one of five gold reference 1579 known to the market with such a dial. When it was first offered on the market in 1994, it was fitted with a dial with tachymeter scale. As the Extract from the Archives from August 2024 confirms the watch’s correctness with this pulsations dial, one can assume a previous owner wanted to return the watch to its original configuration, hunting down a correct pulsations dial with Arabic and square hour markers, matching the production date of the watch.

Patek Philippe’s vintage line of mid-20th century chronographs are cherished by collectors for their rarity, elegance and classic styling, with the reference 1579 one of the largest and most unique highly appreciated by connoisseurs.

As the first Rolex sports watch to be cased in luxurious 18K yellow gold, beginning in 1969, the Submariner reference 1680 became a symbol of opulence for those with the means. Offered with the option for either black dial / black bezel or blue dial / blue bezel, it was the first step towards the decadent combinations we come to expect from Rolex today.

Not on the table as an option, however, was purple. Due to a paint defect, exposure to certain elements causes some examples to “tropicalize” and turn from blue to purple. The dial fitted to this specific watch glimmers with golden specks and has uniformly aged to a deep violet.

The present 1680 in 18K yellow gold is fitted with a so-called “nipple” dial (or “bicchierini”, Italian for “little cups”), for the conical gold markers with a small lume-filled opening at the top. Though the earliest gold Submariners are characterized by a “meters first” dial, beginning around the 2.4 million serial number. Later, the designation was reversed and subsequent dials would be printed “feet first”, like the present watch which bears a 5.8 million serial number.

With a well-preserved case, and accompanied by its original punched guarantee papers, this so-called “Purple Haze” gold Submariner is sure to impress on the wrist, whether lounging seaside or in the boardroom.

In production for more than 20 years, from 1959 to 1980, the Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 was the highly successful and more robust replacement for the first GMT-Master model reference 6542. First produced with “glossy” dials with gilt printing, Rolex switched to the use of matte dials as early as the 1.6 million serial number (circa 1967). While it has never been confirmed by Rolex exactly why the shift was made, matte dials are believed to be less expensive to manufacture, more robust, and less reflective.

With a perfectly matching bracelet, case, and dial—all dating to 1972 and consistent with a 3.3 million serial number—this is certainly amongst the best preserved examples of the reference Phillips has had the pleasure of offering.

Highly collectable and remaining in hardly-worn condition with a flawless dial and, in our opinion, unpolished case, the present, fresh-to-the-market reference 1675 is a rare opportunity to collect one of the finest and best preserved examples to appear publicly.

The Milgauss reference 1019, is a Rolex sports model that today enjoys considerable prestige beyond its original intent. It is a watch that, due to its niche target market, was not considered a commercial success. Originally released in 1954, the Milgauss reference 6541 was designed to meet the needs of scientists and engineers working in a magnetic environment. Rolex worked in collaboration with the Conseil Européen de Recherche Nucléaire, or CERN, to develop a watch that could withstand strong magnetic fields. The model could withstand 1000 Gauss of magnetism with no effect on timekeeping precision. Along with its companion piece, the reference 6543, the two remained in production until the beginning of the 1960s when Rolex released the reference 1019 to replace these models.

The reference 1019, likes its predecessors, featured a second inner case made of soft iron surrounding the movement. The new model was thinner and produced in stainless steel only. It remained in production until 1990. The present, well-preserved example stands out with its strong case and sharp lines with a smooth polished bezel, having in our opinion, never been polished. The beautiful silvered dial has luminous hands and hour markers with the model’s name boldly printed in red below the Rolex signature. The present wristwatch has a sophisticated mid-century modern aesthetic and offers great value while being a pleasure to wear.

Chronograph wristwatches are one of the most cherished complications found today, and while originally meant as a tool for timing purposes, modern collectors appreciate the function for its utilitarian purpose and classic design that is sporty and luxurious. Vacheron Constantin’s reference 4072 is a wonderful example of the golden age of mid-20th century horology.

The model was in production from 1938 until the late 1960s. It was a diverse chronograph series most often cased in yellow gold but also in pink gold like the present watch, stainless steel, or steel-and-gold combinations. Over the years, three different 13’’ ligne chronograph calibers were featured, the V295 with 45-minute counter, and the V492 and V434, like the present watch, with 30 minute register.

While many collectors associate Vacheron Constantin with their iconic 1970s 222 sports watch, they should also be remembered for their stunning chronographs of the mid-20th century. The present pink gold model is a well-preserved and attractive example of this notable vintage timepieces.

The Rolex reference 2508 was first launched in the mid 1930s. Sporting a large, masculine case with a classic “Calatrava” design, it’s amongst the most attractive chronograph models by any brand from this formative era of wristwatch design. The reference can generally be divided into two series. While those from the first generation such as the present watch, feature ‘olive’ pushers and a larger case size, second generation examples feature flat pushers and a slightly smaller case diameter.

Fitted with a galvanic black dial, the present lot is an exceptional example of the reference. Moreover, the watch has an 18K pink gold case which is a rarity itself; most examples are found with a stainless steel case.

The present example is preserved in excellent condition with crisp numbers and Rolex coronet engraved on the caseback. The dial is extremely charming, with gilt graphics that shine beautifully and legibly contrasting against the black dial.

A milestone of Rolex’s chronograph production, the reference 6238 was produced in a variety of dial combinations, encased in stainless steel, 14K or 18K yellow gold. These were fitted with silver, grey, and black dials, with tachymeter and/or telemeter scales printed directly on the dials differentiating them from their successors, the reference 6239s. These particular Oyster chronographs are known as the “Pre-Daytona” as they bear the familiar case design of the later Daytona references, but with the homogeneous dial and subdial coloration and printed scales on the outer track of the dial, similar to the chronographs of the 1940s and 50s.

The minority of the reference 6238 was cased in 18K yellow gold, such as the present watch. It is fitted with a silvered “sunburst” or “soleil” dial that appears on later examples and closely resembles the dials of the next generation Daytona. The present example, bearing a case number dating it to 1963, has a beautifully preserved dial and a strong case in overall excellent condition.

Superbly iconic and highly sought-after, Rolex “Paul Newman” dials are widely considered one of the most beautifully-designed chronograph dials of the 1960s. Rather than the tri-color dial often seen on references 6239 and 6241, as well as some early examples of references 6262 and 6264, this slightly later ref. 6262 example boasts an extremely rare Paul Newman dial with bi-color layout—the only red being the “Daytona” text above the hour counter.

Together with reference 6264, fitted with a black acrylic bezel, the metal bezel reference 6262 was the last Rolex chronograph watch to be fitted with pump pushers. Reference 6240, 6263 and 6265 all feature water resistant screw down pushers. While aesthetically similar to its predecessor reference 6239, reference 6262 was fitted with the upgraded Valjoux movement caliber 727, replacing the previous caliber 722-1. One minor aesthetic difference can be found in the slight architectural redesign of the lugs on the 6262 versus the earlier 6239—they are slightly more elongated. Only in production for four short years, making it one of rarest Daytona models, it was quickly replaced by the references 6263 and 6265 with waterproof, screw-down pushers.

Exactly what one would expect to find on this 2.5 million serial watch, the dial features a white outer scale with white flat “T Swiss T” designation, an evolution from the previously seen red scales with sing-a-song T Swiss T designation. The Paul Newman dial is beautiful and very well-preserved, with a charming ivory dial and all of its original luminous material intact.

The inverted design of the movement reveals the skeletonized winding rotor on the dial side, which is shaped like a driver’s wheel. In addition, Pita’s own patented Time-Setting Mechanism eliminates the crown, allowing for adjustments by rotating the case back and greater comfort.

Accompanied by original Cartier certificate, service papers dating to 2010, and Cartier presentation box.

The present Tank à Vis takes inspiration from one of the rarest vintage Cartier Tank models, the Tank Étanche. According to horological lore, in the 1930s, the Pasha of Marrakech requested a water-resistant watch to wear while swimming in his pool. Cartier responded with a three-part Tank design, featuring an interior cover for the movement and a screw-down crown. The rectangular case’s angles made the construction complex, and it was aptly named “étanche,” the French word for “waterproof.”

In the late 1990s, Cartier’s Privée Collection Paris introduced a modernized version of the Tank Étanche, known as the Tank à Vis, offering three complications: time-only, wandering hours, and dual time. This present lot is the wandering hours variation, certainly the most mechanically interesting out of the three, which features a creative time display method developed by the Campani brothers in the 1600s for the Pope’s clock. The mechanism displays time using rotating discs instead of traditional hands, which is both visually appealing and mechanically intriguing. The curved aperture at 12 o’clock shows the wandering hours disc, while the minutes are indicated by a blued central hand. Powered by the ultra-thin calibre 9902MC, it is beautifully decorated and visible through a display case back.

Encased in white gold and featuring a dial that is engine-turned with a beautiful rosette flower motif, the symbol for watches from the limited Cartier Paris Collection Privée (CPCP) line, the present lot is preserved in excellent overall condition and comes with its original certificate and Cartier presentation box.

Epitomizing timeless grandeur, the Rolex Day-Date model is instantly recognizable despite its myriad of dials, bracelets, bezels, and case materials. Since its introduction in 1956, it remains one of the most diverse and exciting flagship models the firm has ever produced. Apart from prototype models, the Day-Date has only been cased in precious metals, attesting to the gravity of its eminence.

The Day-Date 40 was launched in 2015, as a successor to the 41mm Day-Date II, offering a different look to the traditional 36mm case.

It seeks to reinterpret this monumental work of art, all while injecting it with Boucheron’s own jewelry and watchmaking savoir-faire. The wave is a miniature sculpture wrought in 18K white gold and both baguette and round brilliant diamonds, while the water is replaced by polished aventurine glass. Within beats a Girard-Perregaux automatic movement visible through the sapphire caseback.

The wristwatch was named “Epure Vague de Lumière” or “a wave of pure light”, and engraved on the caseback “Je ne sonne que les heures heureuses”, which translates as “I only ring the happy hours.” These sentiments reflect the ethereal and joyous nature of the timepiece.

Purchased by the current consignor at Only Watch in 2015 and remaining virtually unworn, the present Boucheron wristwatch presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique piece melding art, watchmaking, and jewelry.

Commonly referred to as the “President’s watch,” the Rolex Day-Date has garnered iconic status since its initial release in 1956. Predominantly encased in precious metals (with a few exceptions in stainless steel) the Day-Date is one of the most diverse range of wristwatches that Rolex has to offer, with examples in varying sizes, case and dial materials, dial configurations, and with dazzling gem-setting.

Each Day-Date can be broken down into its constituent parts: dial, bezel, and case material. Different numbers in the reference number engraved between the lugs reflect the choice of case material and bezel choice. Rolex has always mixed and match these elements to create audacious outcomes, and the present 18389 can be broken down into such: 183 (Day-Date, the model), 8 (Gem-set, the bezel), and 9 (18K white gold, the case material).

Three elements set this particular Day-Date beyond its already rare combination: one, the sapphire and diamond-set “string dial”; two, the presence of the engraved Khanjar on the caseback (part of a selection of watches made on special request from His Majesty Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the Sultan of Oman, and presented as gifts to his closest dignitaries and servants); and three, the Arabic language day wheel that is rare in its own right and ties back to the Khanjar emblem.

Such an aesthetically appealing and objectively rare Rolex timepiece is worthy of notice in today’s market, especially considering its outstanding state of preservation. One more element elevates its rarity and importance—the inclusion of a punched Rolex guarantee with country code for Oman and the Omani retailer Khimji Ramdas stamp.

Introduced in 1931, the Reverso has a most fascinating history, as the creation of the model absolutely ties functionality with aesthetics. During his travels in India, Swiss businessman and watch collector César de Trey attended a polo match at a club for British army officers. At that moment, one of these officers had broken the glass of his timepiece, and challenged de Trey to create a watch robust enough to resist a polo match, yet elegant enough to be worn in a formal setting. As such, the Reverso timepiece was born. With a dial that could be flipped, the outside case was also a perfect canvas for artistry and decoration. The possibilities were endless, from enamel to engraving and beyond.

Introduced in 2021, and drawing inspiration from the 2015 wellregarded limited edition release with a dial in “British racing green”, the present Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds with a sunburst forest green dial and matching Casa Fagliano leather strap is preserved in close to new condition, having been worn only a handful of times and offered with all of its original accessories.

François-Paul Journe introduced his first wristwatch, the Tourbillon Souverain, in 1999, and shortly thereafter followed with the revolutionary Chronométre à Résonance and the Octa Réserve de Marche. Believed to have been first conceived on a napkin in 1994, these three seminal pieces were available in a 38mm platinum case and were fitted with 18K gold dials.

The Octa was also Journe’s first automatic watch, a model that would serve as a foundation for a whole new collection to come. An advocate of modular complications, Journe wanted to create a base movement, with a 120-hour power reserve (a world record for a wristwatch at the time) into which could be integrated different complications without modifying the dimensions of the movement. Caliber 1300 was born measuring 30mm in diameter and 5.5mm thickness.

The Octa Réserve de Marche features Journe’s signature elements that collectors have come to love, including a 38mm platinum case, a highly legible gold dial with offset time indication on the right, a power reserve indicator, and large date display. Fitted with an early brass movement and a beautifully preserved yellow gold dial, the design aesthetic is pure F.P. Journe.

The present Octa Réserve de Marche is offered with its original guarantee card dated from 2003 indicating sale at the Journe Boutique in New York and its early burl wood presentation box, in lovely overall condition.

Audemars Piguet is one of the most hallowed watchmaking brands, and one of the last family-owned manufacturers. While nowadays most renowned for the Royal Oak line of timepieces, the brand’s more classical creations are absolute masterpieces of design and technology, and manufactured in extremely restricted numbers. Both the ultimate mastery of the art and the limited output are a direct link with the past of Audemars Piguet.

The present example beautifully exemplifies how the brand manages to interpret its distinguished heritage in light of the modern evolution of watchmaking design. It features the two arguably most sought-after horological complications—the tourbillon and the minute repeater—housed in an exquisitely retro-modern Jules Audemars case, inspired by the classic cases of the mid-twentieth century but reinterpreted in a modern aesthetic. The dial design is simple but full of character, the exposed tourbillon being the undoubted protagonist, subtly complemented by the guillochage and the asymmetric chapter ring for the hours.

The young, independent brand, Grönefeld (“The Horological Brothers”), may be a name unfamiliar to the general public, however over the last decade they have established a strong reputation amongst aficionados for their innovative watches manufactured with a mission to “build elegant timepieces with surprising mechanisms”. The Dutch brothers, Bart and Tim, come from a watchmaking family first established in 1912 by Johan Grönefeld, and are passionate for exceptional watchmaking, creating complications that will be cherished for years to come.

Launched in 2016 and winning the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève “Men’s Watch Prize” the same year, the Remontoire 1941 is inspired by a clock found in the church tower of their native city of Oldenzaal in the Netherlands, which was maintained and serviced by their grandfather and father. The remontoire mechanism, which was first seen in wristwatch form in F. P. Journe’s Tourbillon à Remontoire d’Egalité, is a rarely seen constant force mechanism that allows the force provided by the mainspring to remain constant throughout the complete power reserve of the watch without loss of amplitude at the end of the power reserve.

The present watch from 2018 stands out for both its mechanical ingenuity, and highly attractive red and black guilloché and enamel dial created in collaboration with Kari Voutilainen. The watch is in excellent condition and offered complete with its accessories. Grönefeld is celebrated for their artisanal approach to watchmaking, and the Remontoire 1941 reflects the brand’s philosophy focused on attention to details and traditional watchmaking.

The Chronomètre à Résonance from F.P. Journe has seen a marked evolution since its inception, which is now at its fifth iteration across four series, as detailed below:

1999–2004: “R”, brass movement, caliber 1499 2004–2009: “RN”, 18K gold movement, caliber 1499.2 or 1499.3 2010–2019: “RT”, 18K gold movement, caliber 1499.3, two iterations: • “RTA” with one 24-hour dial and one 12-hour dial (produced in 2019 only)

• “RT Parking Meter” with semi-hidden aperture 2020–present: “RQ”, 18K gold movement, caliber 1520

For the two iterations of the third series (“RT”), the Résonance was fitted with two different timekeeping dials: one indicating 12 hours, the other indicating 24 hours, allowing for easier tracking of “home” and “local” time. The earlier model, such as this number 163-RT, had a digital 24-hour display and an analog 12-hour display, whilst the later model had two analog displays for 12- and 24-hours. The unusual shape of the stainless-steel framed digital display led to its nickname, “Parking Meter”.

But it is not only that this reference is long discontinued, or that the dial display is striking and unusual. This “RT” is fitted with a coveted “Black Label” dial, an inky and shining black only cased in platinum and only available to previous clients of F.P. Journe through their boutiques. Very few have appeared in public, reflecting how few were made.

Offered in outstanding condition and complete with the special Black Label certificate of guarantee and all its original accessories, it is a stunning and bold execution of one of the most ingenious wristwatches of the 21st century.

F.P. JOURNE A possibly unique, impressive, and highly important minute repeating grande and petite sonnerie stainless steel wristwatch with power reserve indication, ruthenium dial, steel bracelet, and certificate

Never before seen by the public, the present Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch from F.P. Journe is a possibly unique creation fitted with a stunning ruthenium dial. Previous examples sold by Phillips have featured black dials, and while other dials are known, this is the first ruthenium dial to have surfaced. The Grande Sonnerie complication allows the timepiece to automatically chime the hour on every hour and hours and quarters on every quarter, while in petite sonnerie mode, the watch will only chime the passing of the quarters.

In 2000, the year following the launch of Journe’s namesake brand, and drawing inspiration from the achievements of his contemporary Philippe Dufour, Journe decided to attempt his own Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch.

Journe would aim to create a Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch that would be the first to be impervious to user error. Finally, in 2006, after 10 patents, Journe exhibited the Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch to clients. Almost exclusively fitted with a white gold dial, standard production examples were also cased in a 42mm stainless steel case and engraved with the name of the original owner in lieu of a case number.

According to scholarship, fewer than 60 pieces were made between 2006 and 2018 (though pieces, such as the present watch, were delivered as late as 2021 due to production delays caused by the pandemic), averaging out to 4 pieces a year. Only two watchmakers had the skills to assemble the Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch, and each timepiece took three months for the watchmakers to finish, as only one watchmaker works on the watch.

In signature F.P. Journe style, time is indicated on offset dials on the right, while the repeating gongs can be seen via an aperture to the left. The power reserve is indicated at 12 o’clock. The sonnerie selection is made via the pusher at 4 o’clock and displayed on the lower portion of the dial: G (Grande sonnerie), S (silence), P (Petite sonnerie). The pusher located at 2 o’clock activates the minute repeater.

To prevent irreversible damages caused by incorrect usage or setting, the ingenious engineering of this wristwatch restricts time-setting when the gongs are in play by locking the crown, as well as pausing the chiming when the crown is not screwed in properly. Similarly, a system is designed to prohibit the sonnerie from striking in the last 24 hours of power reserve, as the going train and chiming train operate from a single barrel.

This extremely rare and awe-inspiring wristwatch is sure to be the crown jewel of any collection of independent watches and complications. The Grande and Petite Sonnerie wristwatch from Journe established him as an absolute master of his craft, and opportunities to own such a limited production timepiece are far and few between. Topped with the icing of a so-far unique dial in ruthenium, and accompanied by its original sumptuous stainless steel bracelet, this is a chance not to miss.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sea-Dweller, Rolex introduced the new Sea-Dweller reference 126600 at Baselworld 2017. The Sea-Dweller is arguably the least commercial model in the lineup as it is a highly professional tool watch initially developed for specialist deep-sea divers. The first model launched was the reference 1665 in 1967 and it was Rolex’s most capable diver’s wristwatch with a depth rating of up to 610 meters, which was roughly triple the depth rating of a corresponding Submariner reference 5512.

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 came as a surprise to many as there were newly updated features both aesthetically and technically. For the first time in decades, the new model featured the “SEA-DWELLER” designation in red writing, taking inspiration from early examples of the reference 1665 which appeared in the 1960s and 1970s with one line (Single Red) of red printing or two lines (Double Red). Furthermore, Rolex incorporated a magnifying lens on the surface of the crystal above the date aperture, initially witnessed in the Submariner reference 1680, and never-before-seen on a Sea-Dweller. Another interesting upgrade was its larger case dimension measuring 43mm in diameter, differing from all previous SeaDweller models with 40mm diameter cases. The new case provides water resistance capabilities of up to 1220 meters. The movement was upgraded to Rolex’s caliber 3235 providing enhanced efficiency and precision.

Highly sought after and technically advanced, the present Sea-Dweller reference 126600 is like new condition and accompanied with all its original accompaniments.

Rolex’s Day-Date was the world’s first wristwatch to include the full name of the day at 12 o’clock and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The semi-circular link bracelet, officially named “President,” is as iconic as the watch itself. The original references 6510 and 6511 were replaced by the famed reference 1803 in 1959 with a sporty 36mm diameter case, fluted bezel, and gold President bracelet, and offered in yellow, white, and rose gold, and platinum. In 1977, Rolex introduced a new generation model with the caliber 3055 with quickset date, which was upgraded again in 1988 with the caliber 3155, allowing quick set for both the date and day.

Notably, the present example is fitted with an inky black onyx hardstone dial. Onyx, a form of chalcedony with deep banded layers, is a popular stone used in jewelry and watchmaking. Historically, Roman soldiers went into battle with onyx amulets for courage in battle, engraved with the visage of the god of war, Mars. The slice of onyx used for the dial of this Day-Date is utterly flawless, with attractive gilt printing. Presented as a “full set”, complete with its original box and punched guarantee, it’s a lovely example for the connoisseur.

Rolex’s Daytona Cosmograph is one of the most iconic and cherished timepieces available today. From the “pre-Daytona” chronographs of the mid-20th century to the first Daytona, reference 6239 originally introduced in 1963, it is a model transcending the original tool watch purpose to a symbol for excellence in mechanical watchmaking, performance and luxury. Over its 60 year history the Daytona has been upgraded from manual wound watches to the first automatic model, the reference 16520 introduced in 1988, to current production models with fully in-house movements. In 2023, Rolex released at Watches and Wonder the new and improved caliber 4131 with the more efficient Rolex Chronergy escapement, and added more ball bearings to the winding rotor. In honor of the Daytona’s 60th anniversary, Rolex released a series of new models including the present reference 126518LN.

The new classic chronograph has a modern appeal offered with either golden or a bright black dial like the present watch. The smaller hour markers have a vintage feel reminiscent of the reference 16520, and high nighttime legibility with Chromalight blue luminescent hour markers. The Cerachrom ceramic bezel is highly durable with tachymetric scale made with the deposition of a thin layer of platinum in the numerals and graduations via a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) process. Furthermore, the chronograph features the brands sporty Oysterflex bracelet.

The present, highly attractive Daytona Cosmograph is in new condition with its factory stickers still in place, and offered complete with its suite of accessories. It is a shining tribute to the model’s long and historic lineage in the world of horology.

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated April 6th, 2010, product literature, leather wallet, envelope, automatic winding fitted presentation box, outer box, setting pin, additional solid caseback, a boxed set of batteries and charging cords, Patek cardboard travel box, and hang tag.

The successor reference to the 5039, in production from 1996 until 2007, the 5139 improves upon its predecessor with a larger case diameter (38mm instead of 35.5mm). Just as the dial of the 5039 closely resembled the 3940, the 5139 echoes the dial of the successor of the 3940, the 5140. Later examples of the 5139 are accompanied by an additional solid caseback, such as the present watch, while earlier examples feature a sapphire caseback only.

The beautifully balanced and uncluttered perpetual calendar layout is a masterpiece of Patek Philippe’s design language. The present reference 5139 is preserved in excellent, nearly new overall condition, with its full suite of accessories.

Louis Cottier’s groundbreaking World Time mechanism revolutionized wristwatches by allowing wearers to instantly view the time across multiple time zones. Developed in the 1930s and adapted by brands such as Patek Philippe, this system uses a rotating 24-hour disc synchronized with a ring of reference cities, enabling seamless timekeeping across the globe.

Introduced in 2016, the Patek Philippe Reference 5230 is a modern descendant of the iconic World Time watches first launched by the brand in the 1930s, which have since become ultimate collectables in the world of vintage Patek Philippe.

The present timepiece features a patented pusher at 10 o’clock that effortlessly sets the home time zone displayed at 12 o’clock, offering a unique blend of innovation and tradition. Powered by the slim and elegant calibre 240 HU, it displays the time across 24 time zones, with a beautifully designed inner ring indicating night and day through sun and moon symbols.

While Patek Philippe also offers world time models with cloisonné enamel maps for dial centers, there is an understated beauty and timeless elegance with this grey guilloché dial, as it enhances the silver hour ring and opaline dial. Fresh-to-themarket and kept in like new condition, it is accompanied by its complete set of accessories.

In 2005, Patek Philippe’s Advanced Research Division was created and through innovative materials (Silinvar), complex movements, enhanced accuracy, limited editions and unique design elements, Patek Philippe sought to push the state-ofthe-art beyond traditional watchmaking. Patek Philippe’s first Advanced Research model, the reference 5250 annual calendar from 2005, featured a new Silinvar escape wheel developed by CSEM (a micro-engineering laboratory based in Neuchâtel) funded by Patek Philippe, Rolex and the Swatch Group. The Advanced Research collection expanded to include multiple annual calendar models, the exceptional Aquanaut Travel Time, a sound amplifying minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar like the present wristwatch, the reference 5550P

The limited edition reference 5550P was released in 2011 and today is a highly sought after and collectible wristwatch. The 5550P featured for the first time, three new escapement components working together: a Silvinar (a silicon material) balance wheel, patented Spiromax balance spring, and Pulsomax escapement requiring no oil allowing for better precision and longevity.

The present watch is fresh to the market and offered in excellent, hardly worn overall condition and accompanied by all of its accessories. Patek Philippe’s Advanced Research program plays an important role in the history of the brand, and the reference 5550P is an exemplary model demonstrating the most impressive results of their initiative.

First introduced in 2005, Rolex’s exclusive pink gold alloy, known as “Everose,” is a masterful blend of gold, copper, and palladium, designed to ensure that its rich, rosy hue remains vibrant and unfading over time. The present reference 116505, paired with a luxurious Everose bracelet, showcases this alloy in all its glory, creating a monochromatic masterpiece that exudes sophistication.

The dial, described by Rolex as “ivory,” is a subtle cream shade that emanates a warmth and depth unmatched by other sunburst dials. This elegant hue not only complements the Everose gold but also adds a soft, inviting glow, enhancing the overall beauty of the timepiece. The contrast between the dial’s creamy warmth and the bracelet’s rich pink tones creates a captivating visual harmony.

Few Rolex Daytonas in this exquisite configuration have appeared at auction, and the present example is preserved in near-new condition with its factory caseback stickers in place. Dated from 2017 and accompanied by its complete set of accessories, this stunning combination of Everose gold and ivory dial is no longer available in Rolex’s current catalogue, making it a rare and desirable find for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

The perpetual calendar has proven itself as the anchor of Patek Philippe’s line of grand complications since the first half of the twentieth century. The earliest serially produced references— the 1526 and 2497—are among the most respected and lauded perpetual calendars to be manufactured by any watchmaking brand. After the advent of the reference 3448 in 1961, the first self-winding perpetual calendar from Patek Philippe, the manufacture consistently released automatic perpetual calendars in a variety of case shapes. In 1999, Patek Philippe launched the reference 5059, its first perpetual calendar housed within an “Officer’s” case with a hinged case back.

Replacing the reference 5059, the 5159 was released in 2007, with a 2mm increase in diameter and a dial featuring a handguilloché center. The pink gold version was in production from 2010 to 2019. The Roman numerals were updated as well, becoming more elongated, similar to the engraved reference 5160. The most striking element is of course the retrograde date indication. At the end of each month, the date hand automatically flies back to its original starting point—a very difficult function to reliably implement in watchmaking.

Fresh to the market, this reference 5159 from 2017 is offered complete with its original accessories and is a chance to own a modern classic with all the refinements of early-twentieth century design encasing the finest mechanics of the modern era.

For Rolex, experimentation with gem-set sports watches in the 1980s gave way to a more expansive offerings of gem-set pieces in the 21st century. Though this decadent treatment is mostly identified with the Cosmograph Daytona, the Submariner and the GMT-Master have not escaped such luxurious livery.

Following in the footsteps of the reference 16758, the first Rolex sports wristwatch to be fitted with precious stones—notably, the ruby, sapphire, and diamond-set bezel reflecting the identifiable “Pepsi” bezel of the stainless steel variant. The updated case and movement that was introduced with the 116748 continued to be called “SARU”, and was made available in yellow, pink, and white gold. Now discontinued, the present, well-preserved example is offered with minimal signs of wear with vibrant and internally flawless sapphires and rubies on its bezel, accompanied by a service card and presentation box.

Introduced in 2006, the Nautilus reference 5711 featured new innovations and updated the historic “Jumbo” model for modern times, with some slight variations between the two models. Instead of the original two-piece monobloc case used for the reference 3700, the 5711 was constructed with a threepiece case that allowed for easier assembly, servicing, and an exhibition case back. It also measured 1mm wider than the original 3700, and was 0.7mm thicker. The 5711 was powered by an in-house self-winding movement, the robust caliber 324 SC, which permitted a center seconds indication for the first time. The bracelet was upgraded and refined, with the center links slightly flattened and the buckle now triple folding.

Launched at Baselworld in 2015, the reference 5711/1R was the first Nautilus to be cased in pink gold with bracelet. The dial, a rich “chocolate” brown, was also a first for the reference, and has remained a popular pairing for Patek Philippe, with models from the Aquanaut to the Grand Complication reference 6002 receiving this color combination.

The present 5711/1R is fresh-to-the-market and preserved in excellent condition, offered complete with all of its original accessories.

PATEK PHILIPPE

An extremely rare, highly important, and virtually unworn pink gold minute repeating world time wristwatch with miniature cloisonne enamel dial by the workshop of Anita Porchet, depicting Geneva city map, with Certificate of Origin and presentation boxes, one of three made

Patek Philippe has long captivated collectors with its unmatched technical innovation and mechanical artistry. In 2017, the release of the reference 5531R combined two of the brand’s most extraordinary complications: the world-time and minute repeater. The Ref. 5531R, renowned for its rarity and innovation, is the first-ever minute repeater that always chimes the local time. Recently discontinued and succeeded by a white-gold version, this particular pink gold model, the ref. 5531R-015, featuring an exquisite cloisonné enamel map of Geneva, is one of only three ever crafted. Upon closer inspection, a discreet ‘A.P.’ signature reveals itself, subtly nestled within one of the streets— an unmistakable mark of the cloisonné artistry crafted by the renowned Anita Porchet atelier, a name cherished by discerning connoisseurs worldwide. Underscoring its significance, a second example of the ref. 5531R-015 graces the front cover of Fabienne Reybaud’s acclaimed book Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection , published by Assouline.

The 5531R embodies the pinnacle of Patek Philippe’s centuriesold horological prowess. Its world-time mechanism traces back to the 1930s, when renowned watchmaker Louis Cottier developed it during the rise of intercontinental travel. Patek Philippe’s first world-time production model, reference 1415, introduced a 31mm case with a revolutionary rotating bezel, making time zone adjustments effortless. This was followed by the landmark reference 2523, with its larger 36mm case and two-crown system. On rare occasions, select examples of these historic models featured cloisonné enamel dials with intricate maps, inspiring the design of the modern 5531R.

Literature

A similar example is depicted on the front cover of Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection , by Assouline

At the heart of this masterpiece is the in-house caliber R27 HU, first unveiled in 1989 for the brand’s 150th anniversary. The 5531’s movement builds on this foundation, incorporating the minute repeater into a design only 8.5mm thick, resulting in a remarkably sleek profile. Perhaps its most impressive feat is its ability to chime the local time of the city at 12 o’clock—achieved through an ingenious hour snail driven by the world-time mechanism. Moreover, pink gold is often regarded as the ideal metal for producing the warmest and most resonant chimes, and in the case of the 5531R, it beautifully enhances the depth and richness of the minute repeater’s sound.

Fresh-to-the-market and making its debut at an international auction, the present World Time Minute Repeater is offered in as new condition—a true Patek Philippe masterpiece combining ultimate rarity, sublime aesthetics, and exquisite complications.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Effective as of October 16, 2024

The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set forth below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding.

1. INTRODUCTION

Each lot in this catalogue is offered for sale and sold subject to: (a) the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty; (b) the Special Notices and Symbols printed at the end of this document; and (c) supplements to this catalogue or other written material posted by Phillips in the saleroom, in each case as amended by any addendum or announcement by the auctioneer prior to the auction.

By bidding at the auction, whether in person, through an agent, by written bid, by telephone, online or other means, bidders and buyers agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty. These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which Phillips and the seller contract with the buyer.

PHILLIPS AS AGENT

Phillips acts as an agent for the seller, unless otherwise indicated in this catalogue or at the time of auction. On occasion, Phillips may own a lot directly, in which case we will act in a principal capacity as a consignor, or a company affiliated with Phillips may own a lot, in which case we will act as agent for that company, or Phillips or an affiliated company may have a legal, beneficial or financial interest in a lot as a secured creditor or otherwise.

3. CATALOGUE DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION OF PROPERTY

Lots are sold subject to the Authorship Warranty, as described in the catalogue (unless such description is changed or supplemented, as provided in Paragraph 1 above) and in the condition that they are in at the time of the sale on the following basis:

(a) The knowledge of Phillips in relation to each lot is partially dependent on information provided to us by the seller, and Phillips is not able to and does not carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers acknowledge this fact and accept responsibility for carrying out inspections and investigations to satisfy themselves as to the lots in which they may be interested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall exercise such reasonable care when making express statements in catalogue descriptions or condition reports as is consistent with our role as auctioneer of lots in this sale and in light of (i) the information provided to us by the seller; (ii) scholarship and technical knowledge and (iii) the generally accepted opinions of relevant experts, in each case at the time any such express statement is made.

(b) Each lot offered for sale at Phillips is available for inspection by prospective buyers prior to the auction. Phillips accepts bids on lots on the basis that bidders (and independent experts on their behalf, to the extent appropriate given the nature and value of the lot and the bidder’s own expertise) have fully inspected the lot prior to bidding and have satisfied themselves as to both the condition of the lot and the accuracy of its description.

(c) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All dimensions are approximate. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots.

(d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips. Any pre-sale estimate may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips in our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale.

4. BIDDING AT AUCTION

(a) Phillips has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction or participation in the sale. All bidders must register prior to bidding, supplying such information and references as required by Phillips.

(b) As a convenience to bidders who cannot attend the auction in person, Phillips may, if so instructed by the bidder, execute written absentee bids on a bidder’s behalf. Absentee bidders are required to submit bids on the “Absentee Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips. Bids must be placed in the currency of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount he or she intends to bid, excluding the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales or use taxes. The auctioneer will not accept an instruction to execute an absentee bid which does not indicate such maximum bid. Our staff will attempt to execute an absentee bid at the lowest possible price taking into account the reserve and other bidders. Any absentee bid must be received at least 24 hours in advance of the sale. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

(c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the “Telephone Bid Form,” a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips. Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least $1,000. Phillips reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation.

(d) Bidders may participate in an auction by bidding online through Phillips’s online live bidding platform available on our website at www. phillips.com. To bid online, bidders must register online at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. Online bidding is subject to approval by Phillips’s bid department in our sole discretion. As noted in Paragraph 3 above, Phillips encourages online bidders to inspect prior to the auction any lot(s) on which they may bid, and condition reports are available upon request. Bidding in a live auction can progress quickly. To ensure that online bidders are not placed at a disadvantage when bidding against bidders in the room or on the telephone, the procedure for placing bids through Phillips’s online bidding platform is a one-step process. By clicking the bid button on the computer screen, a bidder submits a bid. Online bidders acknowledge and agree that bids so submitted are final and may not under any circumstances be amended or retracted. During a live auction, when bids other than online bids are placed, they will be displayed on the online bidder’s computer screen as ‘floor,’ ‘phone’ or ‘paddle no’ bids. ‘Floor’ bids include bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. In the event that an online bid and a ‘floor’ or ‘phone’ bid are identical, the ‘floor’ or ‘phone’ bid will take precedence. The next bidding increment is shown for the convenience of online bidders under the bid button. The bidding increment available to online bidders may vary from the next bid actually taken by the auctioneer, as the auctioneer may deviate from Phillips’s standard increments at any time at his or her discretion, but an online bidder may only place a bid in a whole bidding increment. Phillips’s bidding increments are published in the Special Notices section at the end of these Conditions of Sale.

(e) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Phillips before the commencement of the auction that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Phillips and that we will only look to the principal for such payment. If you are being advised by anyone to bid, you should confirm with them that they do not have a financial interest in the Lot.

(f) By registering and participating in the auction, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, bidders represent, warrant and confirm that (i) unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing with Phillips prior to the auction, they are bidding on their own behalf and not on behalf of anyone else (ii) they will be paying the Purchase Price from their own funds (iii) that their participation in the auction and payment of the Purchase Price is lawful and shall not breach any applicable sanctions laws, and (iv) any bids placed by them, or on their behalf, are not the product of any collusive or other anti-competitive agreement and are otherwise consistent with federal and state antitrust law, and are not in breach of any applicable law, Government sanctions and other regulatory measures in force from time to time.

(g) Arranging absentee, telephone and online bids is a free service provided by Phillips to prospective buyers. While we undertake to exercise reasonable care in undertaking such activity, we cannot accept liability for failure to execute such bids except where such failure is caused by our willful misconduct.

(h) Employees of Phillips and our affiliated companies, including the auctioneer, may bid at the auction by placing absentee bids so long as they do not know the reserve when submitting their absentee bids and otherwise comply with our employee bidding procedures.

5. CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION

(a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol • each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction. However, if the lot is subject to a third party guarantee and the lot’s irrevocable bid exceeds the lot’s low estimate, then the lot’s reserve will be set at the amount of the irrevocable bid. Lots with guarantees and third party guarantees are identified by the symbols Ο◆. Please see the Special Notices page below for more details on guarantees and third party guarantees.

(b) The auctioneer has discretion at any time to refuse any bid, withdraw any lot, reoffer a lot for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if he or she believes there may be error or dispute and take such other action as he or she deems reasonably appropriate. Phillips shall have no liability whatsoever for any such action taken by the auctioneer. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. The auctioneer may accept bids made by a company affiliated with Phillips provided that the bidder does not know the reserve placed on the lot.

(c) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he or she considers appropriate. In order to protect the reserve on any lot, the auctioneer may place one or more bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve without indicating he or she is doing so, either by placing consecutive bids or bids in response to other bidders. If a lot is offered without reserve, unless there are already competing absentee bids, the auctioneer will generally open the bidding at 50% of the lot’s low pre-sale estimate. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer will proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized and will then advance the bidding from that amount. Absentee bids on no reserve lots will, in the absence of a higher bid, be executed at approximately 50% of the low pre-sale estimate or at the amount of the bid if it is less than 50% of the low pre-sale estimate. If there is no bid whatsoever on a no reserve lot, the auctioneer may deem such lot unsold.

(d) The sale will be conducted in US dollars and payment is due in US dollars. For the benefi t of international clients, pre-sale estimates in the auction catalogue may be shown in pounds sterling and/or euros and, if so, will reflect approximate exchange rates. Accordingly, estimates in pounds sterling or euros should be treated only as a guide. If a currency converter is operated during the sale, it is done so as a courtesy to bidders, and Phillips accepts no responsibility for any errors in currency conversion calculation.

(e) Subject to the auctioneer’s reasonable discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of the hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the seller and the buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot passes to the buyer as set forth in Paragraph 7 below.

(f) If a lot is not sold, the auctioneer will announce that it has been “passed,” “withdrawn,” “returned to owner” or “bought-in.”

(g) Any post-auction sale of lots offered at auction shall incorporate these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty as if sold in the auction.

6. PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

(a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales tax (the ‘Purchase Price’). The buyer’s premium is 27% of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; plus 21% of the portion of the hammer price above $1,000,000 up to and including $6,000,000; plus 14.5% of the portion of the hammer price above $6,000,000. Phillips reserves the right to pay from our compensation an introductory commission to one or more third parties for assisting in the sale of property offered and sold at auction.

(b) Sales tax, use tax and excise and other taxes are payable in accordance with applicable law. All prices, fees, charges and expenses set out in these Conditions of Sale are quoted exclusive of applicable taxes. Phillips will only accept valid resale certificates from US dealers as proof of exemption from sales tax. All foreign buyers should contact the Client Accounting Department about tax matters.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed, a buyer is required to pay for a purchased lot immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain an export or import license or other permit for such lot. Payments must be made by the invoiced party in US dollars either by cash or wire transfer, as follows:

(i) Phillips will accept payment in cash provided that the total amount paid in cash or cash equivalents does not exceed US$2,000. Buyers paying in cash should do so in person at our Client Accounting Desk at 432 Park Avenue during regular weekday business hours.

(ii) Payment by wire transfer may be sent directly to Phillips. Bank transfer details: Bank of America, N. A.

One Bryant Park, New York, NY 10036

SWIFT Code: BOFAUS3N

ABA Routing: 026009593

For the account of: Phillips Auctioneers LLC

Account no.: 483084171064

Please reference the relevant sale and lot number.

Please note that Phillips does not charge Buyers fees for their payment via wire transfer.

(d) Credit Cards: As a convenience to our Buyers at our New York auctions only, Phillips will accept payment for purchases via American Express, Visa and MasterCard.

A Buyer’s credit card usage is limited to purchases of up to $150,000 in the aggregate per Auction. Buyers must remit payment via wire transfer for any invoices that exceed $150,000 in the aggregate. Buyers may contact our Client Accounts department for further details regarding this limit.

Please note that while Phillips does not charge Buyers a fee for payments via wire transfer, a Buyer’s use of their credit card may incur a surcharge added by the Buyer’s credit card issuer. If a Buyer chooses to use their credit card for a payment, Phillips will charge that Buyer a two point five percent (2.5% ) convenience fee, provided that that convenience fee amount does not exceed the amount of the surcharge charged by the Buyer’s credit card issuer.

An Auction invoice that is equal to or less than $150,000 will identify the two methods Buyers may choose between for remitting the amounts due for their purchase. That invoice will clearly reflect the cost to Buyers for each payment method available to them to choose between; that is, either a payment via wire transfer or a payment via credit card with the identified convenience fee amount. Buyers may choose at the time of payment for the Invoice to pay by either payment method.

Buyers paying for their purchases using a credit card from an issuer located outside the United States, will be responsible for payment of all international transaction fees incurred by such use and charged by the credit card issuer. Before Buyers remit any payment, they should confirm with their card issuer whether international transaction fees will apply to their purchase.

Buyers who have registered and bid as a company will need to pay their invoice via a credit card issued to the company’s account and not under the Buyer’s personal account.

Phillips does not retain any credit card information.

By making a payment via credit card, you: (i) warrant and represent that you are the cardholder; and (ii) acknowledge and agree that Phillips has no liability for our not receiving your payment if it is refused by or declined by your card issuer, or for any other reason for non-payment by them. Please ensure by contacting Phillips or your card issuer that your payment has been remitted and accepted.

(e) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips has received the full Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer

until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided. Please note that any early release prior to our receipt of full payment does not pass title to the Buyer which remains with the consignor, nor does it waive or extinguish the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay immediately the full Purchase Price.

7. COLLECTION OF PROPERTY & TRANSFER OF RISK OF LOSS

(a) Collection & Shipping if you are a Buyer of a Lot:

(i) Immediately following the Auction, all Lots will be transferred to Phillips’ shipping and art storage agent, SRI Fine Art Services (“SRI”), located at 211 Mount Prospect Avenue, Unit B, Clifton, New Jersey.

(ii) Free storage will be provided to you for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the Auction. If you have not collected your purchases by that date, you will be charged fees and interest until they have been physically collected. Please see section 8 below for further details for Uncollected Lots.

(iii) Phillips will not release any purchased Lot to you or to your agent, nor will it be shipped to you, until: (1) we have received your full payment of your Lot’s Purchase Price in cleared funds; (2) you have paid any other outstanding amounts due from you to Phillips and any of our affiliated companies, including any Charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8(a) below; and (3) you have satisfied the Anti-Money Laundering, Know Your Client, and Anti-Terrorism financing conditions required by us in our discretion.

(iv) Once you have satisfied our conditions, you must promptly arrange the shipping of or your physical collection of your purchase.

1. If you are shipping your Lot through our agent SRI, please send Phillips’ Shipping & Collection Form to ShippingNewYork@phillips.com or contact our Shipping Department directly at +1 212 940 1372. After Phillips’ receipt of your written instructions, we will provide you with SRI’s shipping quote. If you choose to use SRI, they will, acting as Phillips’ agent, provide you with your shipment’s tracking information.

2. If, instead, you are collecting your Lot or you are using your own shipper and they are collecting your Lot from SRI, you must first make a collection appointment by emailing Phillips’ Shipping & Collection Form to collections@phillips.com. Appointments must be made and confirmed by us in writing at least 48 hours in advance of the planned collection. You or your authorized representative should arrive prior to the scheduled collection appointment time with proper government issued identification. If you are not attending the appointment, your representative must present your written authorization for them to collect your Lot, without which, you or your shipper will not be admitted into the SRI facility and your Lot will not be released to them. During the appointment your Lot will be unpacked allowing you and/or your representative to fully inspect it prior to collection. If you have arranged for your own fine art shipper to collect your Lot, they must inspect it prior their packing and collecting it from SRI. Your shipper must provide their own appropriate packing materials for their shipment of your Lot.

3. Limited Collection from Phillips’ Long Island City Warehouse. On occasion, Phillips will provide a limited number of Lots selected within our discretion to be transferred from SRI to our Long Island City Warehouse located at 29-09 37th Avenue Long Island City, NY 11101 (“LIC”) for your collection. We will only transfer selected Lots to LIC if you have provided us with at least seven (7) days written notice and your collection date can be accommodated by us within the 30-day post-sale period. We will provide you with an appointment date and time if your request is granted.

(b) Transfer of Risk of Physical Loss and Damage Liability to the Buyer:

(i) You will become fully responsible for risk of physical loss or damage to your purchase on the earlier date to occur of: (A) seven (7) calendar days after the Auction; and (B) the date that you or your agent collects your purchase (the “Risk Transfer Date”). You should ensure that you have your own fine art insurance cover at your own cost and in place for your purchase at or before the time of the Risk Transfer Date. This is required whether your purchase remains in storage at SRI, or if it is collected by you or by shippers organized by you, or if your shipment is organized through Phillips or SRI. Note that you may purchase transit insurance coverage from SRI at the time your shipment is organized.

(ii) Prior to the Risk Transfer Date, Phillips accepts responsibility for physical loss or damage to your Lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid by you. Note

that Phillips coverage is subject to the terms of Phillips own insurance policy which contains the exclusions in Phillips’ set forth in Paragraph 7(c) below.

(iii) You agree that on the Risk Transfer Date, all of Phillips’ responsibility for physical loss or damage to your Lot will end and agree that: (1) you will be fully liable for any physical loss or damage to your Lot; (2) you will arrange for your Lot to be covered under your own insurance policy, which shall include coverage for risk of physical loss or damage caused by negligence (including Phillips’ or its agents’ negligence); (3) you will notify and arrange with your insurance carrier to waive any right of subrogation against both

Phillips and Phillips’ insurers, related to physical loss or damage to your Lot while it remains in Phillips’ or Phillips’ agent’s care, custody and control; (4) you release Phillips from and against any liability for physical loss or damage to your Lot, no matter what caused the physical loss or damage, including any damage resulting during the Lot’s packing and/or shipment; (5) you will pay for the full amount of any claims brought against Phillips that arise from the Lot’s physical loss or damage, including any costs, expenses, or attorneys’ fees, that Phillips incurs as a result of such claims; (6) any payment made by Phillips with respect to a physical loss or damage claim to your Lot prior to Phillips’ legal liability having first been proven, shall not be a waiver of Phillips’ rights within this paragraph; and (7) you will indemnify and hold Phillips harmless from any and all third-party claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with our or our agent’s possession or control of the Lot.

(iv) As a convenience to Buyers, and for a fee, Phillips may agree to accept responsibility for physical loss or damage to a purchased Lot beyond the Risk Transfer Date while the Lot remains in Phillips’ care, custody, and control, provided that prior to the expiration of Risk Transfer Date: (A) Phillips have accepted liability in a signed writing by us to you; and (B) Phillips have received your payment of our physical loss or damage liability fees. Our acceptance of this responsibility will be subject to other conditions set out in the Buyer Information packs sent to Buyers following the Auction and to our standard liability exclusions set forth below.

(c) Phillips’ Physical Loss or Damage Liability Exclusions: Phillips will not be responsible for any physical loss or damage to your purchased Lot at any time, whether prior to or after the Risk Transfer Date (or during any extension in accordance with paragraph 7(b)(iv)) above, if the physical loss or damage to your Lot results from or is caused by any of the following circumstances: (i) inherent defects in the Lot; (ii) humidity or change of weather or other atmospheric conditions not within Phillips’ reasonable control; (iii) mechanical fault or breakdown (if applicable); (iv) wear and tear and gradual deterioration; (v) war, radioactive contamination and/ or cyberattack; (vi) the damage occurred while the Lot was in the care or custody of a restorer; or (vii) the damage occurred while the Lot is in your possession, custody or control or in the possession, custody or control of shipping and packing agents retained by you (even if such shippers and/or packing agents have been recommended by Phillips).

(d) Hand-Carries: As a courtesy to Buyers who plan to hand-carry their purchased Lot from SRI, LIC, or from our sale site, Phillips will, without charge, wrap their Lot in a manner suitable for your hand-carry only. If you so choose to instruct us in writing to provide the Lot to you for your hand- carry, whether or not it is made with our recommendation, you agree that any physical loss or damage to the Lot is entirely at your risk and your responsibility and you shall arrange for your own insurance coverage at your sole expense . You agree that Phillips will not be liable for any acts or omissions for how the Lot is packed by us or by any third party packers.

(d) Sales Taxes are due at the time of collection: Under applicable New York and New Jersey state and local laws, unless you can provide us with a valid Sales Tax Resale Certificate that proves that you are a US art dealer and are specifically exempt under the law, you will be liable for payment to remit to Phillips the applicable sales taxes due prior to your or your shipper’s collection of your purchase from SRI in New Jersey or from us in New York. You agree to pay Phillips all applicable sales taxes that are due on your Lot’s purchase for our remittance of it to the applicable state tax authorities. (See Paragraph 17 for Sales Tax details).

(e) International Shipments: You are responsible for paying all duties and local taxes payable to export your Lot from its US location and those payable to import the Lot to its ultimate foreign destination. These amounts are payable by you upon your receipt of your Lot and are not included by us or by SRI on your shipping invoice.

(f) Export and Import Bans and Restrictions: The export and/or the import of your Lot out of the US and into certain foreign countries (including but not limited to Russia, Belarus, Iran, Cuba, and North Korea) may be prohibited pursuant to US and other government sanctions and regulatory measures in force from time to time. See section 17 below. Note that it is your sole responsibility to ensure, prior to bidding, that your plans to ship your purchase from Phillips do not conflict with applicable US laws as well as applicable law in your foreign shipment route and destination. (Please also see Section Error! Reference source not found.).

8. FAILURE TO COLLECT YOUR PURCHASES

(a) If you fail to collect your purchased Lot within thirty (30) calendar days of the Auction, Phillips may apply any or all of the following “Charges” for each uncollected Lot: (i) a Late Collection Fee of $10 per day per Lot for regular sized Lots and $40 per day per Lot for Oversized Lots; plus (ii) a levy for the uncollected Lot’s handling within our warehouse and for the Lot’s removal from the warehouse, plus (iii) interest that accrues on these amounts at the rate of 16% per annum after the thirty (30) calendar day post auction period has expired.

(b) We will not release any Lots to you or to your shippers until all Charges, applicable taxes, plus any other outstanding amounts due to Phillips and our affiliated companies, have been paid by you in full cleared funds.

(c) If your Lot has not been collected by you by one hundred and eighty (180) days following the Auction, and if you have not already paid that Lot’s applicable sales taxes, then you agree that your Lot will be treated as released physically to you in New Jersey (if the Lot is located at SRI), or in New York (if the Lot is located at LIC or at Phillips’ premises) and the Lot’s purchase price shall be subjected to the applicable State and City sales taxes of the location where it is warehoused by us, and

In such circumstances, you authorize Phillips to arrange for the Lot’s resale by Phillips either (x) via public auction, or (y) via a private sale; with the Lot’s estimates and reserve, if offered at auction, or the purchase price, if offered privately, to be set by Phillips within our reasonable commercial discretion with Phillips taking a commercially reasonable commission and our applicable buyer’s premium associated with the successful sale of the Lot.

You further agree that all net proceeds realized from the sale of your Lot will be applied first against any unpaid sales taxes related to your original purchase (see 8(c) above); then the Charges and other costs associated with bringing the Lot to the sale site and our marketing it for sale; then all other outstanding costs and expenses owed by you to Phillips and/or to any of our affiliated companies, and then, with the balance of any remaining proceeds payable to your account.

9. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT

(a) Without prejudice to any rights the seller may have, if the buyer without prior agreement fails to make payment of the Purchase Price for a lot in cleared funds within seven days of the auction, Phillips may in our sole discretion exercise one or more of the following remedies: (i) store the lot at Phillips’s premises or elsewhere at the buyer’s sole risk and expense at the same rates as set forth in Paragraph 8 (a) above; (ii) cancel the sale of the lot, retaining any partial payment of the Purchase Price as liquidated damages; (iii) reject future bids from the buyer or render such bids subject to payment of a deposit; (iv) charge interest at 12% per annum from the date payment became due until the date the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds; (v) subject to notification of the buyer, exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in the possession of Phillips and instruct our affiliated companies to exercise a lien over any of the buyer’s property which is in their possession and, in each case, no earlier than 30 days from the date of such notice, arrange the sale of such property and apply the proceeds to the amount owed to Phillips or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission and all sale-related expenses; (vi) resell the lot by auction or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips reasonable discretion, it being understood that in the event such resale is for less than the original hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, the buyer will remain liable for the shortfall together with all costs incurred in such resale; (vii) commence legal proceedings to recover the hammer price and buyer’s premium for that lot, together with interest and the costs of such proceedings; (viii) set off the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by the buyer against any amounts which we or any of our affiliated companies may owe the buyer in any other transactions; (ix) release the name and address of the buyer to the seller to enable the seller to commence legal proceedings to recover the amounts due and legal costs or (x) take such other action as we deem necessary or appropriate.

(b) As security to us for full payment by the buyer of all outstanding amounts due to Phillips and our affiliated companies, Phillips retains, and the buyer grants to us, a security interest in each lot purchased at auction by the buyer and in any other property or money of the buyer in, or coming into, our possession or the possession of one of our affiliated companies. We may apply such money or deal with such property as the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law permits a secured creditor to do. In the event that we exercise a lien over property in our possession because the buyer is in default to one of our affiliated companies, we will so notify the buyer. Our security interest in any individual lot will terminate upon actual delivery of the lot to the buyer or the buyer’s agent.

(c) In the event the buyer is in default of payment to any of our affiliated companies, the buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our affiliated company as security for the payment of any outstanding amount due. Phillips will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge.

10. RESCISSION BY PHILLIPS

Phillips shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips’s election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 13 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale.

11. EXPORT, IMPORT AND ENDANGERED SPECIES LICENSES AND PERMITS

Before bidding for any property, prospective buyers are advised to make their own inquiries as to whether a license is required to export a lot from the US or to import it into another country. Prospective buyers are advised that some countries prohibit the import of property made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value. Accordingly, prior to bidding, prospective buyers considering export of purchased lots should familiarize themselves with relevant export and import regulations of the countries concerned. It is solely the buyer’s responsibility to comply with these laws and to obtain any necessary export, import and endangered species licenses or permits. Failure to obtain a license or permit or delay in so doing will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips has marked in the catalogue lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material, but we do not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

Export and Import Bans and Restrictions

Buyers should note that the export of items offered for sale in the Auction to certain countries (including Russia and Belarus) may be prohibited pursuant to Government sanctions and other regulatory measures in force from time to time. Please contact the department organizing the Auction for further details.

AUTHORSHIP WARRANTY

Phillips warrants the authorship of property in this auction catalogue described in headings in BOLD or CAPITALIZED type for a period of five years from date of sale by Phillips, subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth below.

(a) Phillips gives this Authorship Warranty only to the original buyer of record (i.e., the registered successful bidder) of any lot. This Authorship Warranty does not extend to (i) subsequent owners of the property, including purchasers or recipients by way of gift from the original buyer, heirs, successors, beneficiaries and assigns; (ii) property where the description in the catalogue states that there is a conflict of opinion on the authorship of the property; (iii) property where our attribution of authorship was on the date of sale consistent with the generally accepted opinions of specialists, scholars or other experts; (iv) property whose description or dating is proved inaccurate by means of scientific methods or tests not generally accepted for use at the time of the publication of the catalogue or which were at such time deemed unreasonably expensive or impractical to use or likely in our reasonable opinion to have caused damage or loss in value to the lot or (v) property where there has been no material loss in value from the value of the lot had it been as described in the heading of the catalogue entry.

(b) In any claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty, Phillips reserves the right, as a condition to rescinding any sale under this warranty, to require the buyer to provide to us at the buyer’s expense the written opinions of two recognized experts approved in advance by Phillips. We shall not be bound by any expert report produced by the buyer and reserve the right to consult our own experts at our expense. If Phillips agrees to rescind a sale under the Authorship Warranty, we shall refund to the buyer the reasonable costs charged by the experts commissioned by the buyer and approved in advance by us.

(c) Subject to the exclusions set forth in subparagraph (a) above, the buyer may bring a claim for breach of the Authorship Warranty provided that (i) he or she has notified Phillips in writing within three months of receiving any information which causes the buyer to question the authorship of the lot, specifying the auction in which the property was included, the lot number in the auction catalogue and the reasons why the authorship of the lot is being questioned and (ii) the buyer returns the lot to Phillips to the saleroom in which it was purchased in the same condition as at the time of its auction and is able to transfer good and marketable title in the lot free from any third party claim arising after the date of the auction. Phillips has discretion to waive any of the foregoing requirements set forth in this subparagraph (c) or subparagraph (b) above.

(d) The buyer understands and agrees that the exclusive remedy for any breach of the Authorship Warranty shall be rescission of the sale and refund of the original Purchase Price paid. This remedy shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips, any of our affiliated companies and the seller and is in lieu of any other remedy available as a matter of law or equity. This means that none of Phillips, any of our affiliated companies or the seller shall be liable for loss or damage beyond the remedy expressly provided in this Authorship Warranty, whether such loss or damage is characterized as direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential, or for the payment of interest on, or loss of profi t from, the original Purchase Price.

SPECIAL NOTICES & SYMBOLS

The following key explains the symbols you may see next to lots identified in Phillips’ sale catalogue:

O Guaranteed Property

Lots designated with the symbol Ο are the subject of a minimum price guarantee. In such cases, Phillips has guaranteed to the Seller of the Lot that, regardless of the outcome of the Lot’s sale, the Seller shall receive no less than a minimum sum. This guarantee may be provided solely by Phillips or jointly with a third party guarantor.

♦

Third Party Guarantee

Where Phillips has agreed to a minimum price guarantee it assumes the financial risk of a lot failing to sell or selling for less than the lot’s minimum price guarantee. Because the sums involved can be significant Phillips may choose to share the burden of that financial risk with a third party. The third party agrees to share the risk and commits in advance of the sale, usually by way of a written irrevocable bid, to buy the lot for an agreed amount whether or not there are competing bidders for the lot. If there are competing bidders, third party guarantors may continue to bid above their written irrevocable bid. In this way the third party guarantor assumes some or all of Phillips’ risk of the bidding not reaching the amount of the minimum price guarantee.

In return for the third party underwriting or sharing this risk, Phillips will compensate the third party. The compensation may be in the form of a fi xed fee and/or for an amount that is calculated against the lot’s hammer price. If the third party guarantor is the lot’s successful bidder, their compensation may be netted against the Lot’s full hammer price and buyer’s premium.

Disclosure of financial interest by third parties

Phillips requires third party guarantors to disclose their financial interest in the lot to anyone whom they are advising. If you are contemplating bidding on a lot that is the subject of a third party guarantee, and you are being advised by someone or if you have asked someone to bid on your behalf, you should always ask them to confirm whether or not they have a financial interest in the outcome of the sale of the lot.

Δ Property in Which Phillips Has an Ownership Interest

Lots with this symbol indicate that Phillips owns the lot in whole or in part or has an economic interest in the lot equivalent to an ownership interest.

• No Reserve

Unless indicated by a •, all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate, unless the lot is underwritten by a third party with an irrevocable bid that exceeds the lot’s low estimate, in which case the reserve will be set at the level of the irrevocable bid.

Σ Endangered Species

Lots with this symbol have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing endangered or other protected species of wildlife which may be subject to restrictions regarding export or import and which may require permits for export as well as import. Please refer to Paragraph 11 of these Conditions of Sale.

Electrical and Mechanical Lots

All lots with electrical and/or mechanical features are sold on the basis of their decorative value only and should not be assumed to be operative. It is essential that, prior to any intended use, the electrical system is verified and approved by a qualified electrician.

Interested Parties

In situations where a person who is allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in that lot, (e.g., the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the lot; or a joint owner of the lot; or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties with a financial interest may be bidding on the lot.

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens below the low estimate and advances in increments of up to 10%, subject to the auctioneer’s discretion. Absentee bids that do not conform to the increments set below may be lowered to the next bidding increment.

$50 to $1,000 by $50s

$1,000 to $2,000 by $100s

$2,000 to $3,000 by $200s

$3,000 to $5,000 by $200s, 500, 800 (i.e. $4,200, 4,500, 4,800)

$5,000 to $10,000 by $500s

$10,000 to $20,000 by $1,000s

$20,000 to $30,000 by $2,000s

$30,000 to $50,000 by $2,000s, 5,000, 8,000

$50,000 to $100,000 by $5,000s

$100,000 to $200,000 by $10,000s above $200,000 auctioneer’s discretion

The auctioneer may vary the increments during the course of the auction at their own discretion.

SPECIAL NOTICES FOR JEWELRY

Colored Gemstones

Clients are advised that many colored gemstones are treated to enhance their properties. For example, heating is commonly used to improve the color or transparency of rubies and sapphires; oiling is commonly used to enhance the clarity of emeralds. Such enhancement procedures are widely accepted by the international jewelry profession. While heat enhancement of color is generally believed to be permanent, the process may impact the durability of the gemstone and special care of the stone may be required over time. Gemstones which have been oiled may need to be re-oiled after a period of years to retain their maximum clarity.

Gemological Reports

As a matter of policy, Phillips will obtain gemological reports from officially recognized laboratories for certain gemstones offered for sale. A summary of these reports is included in the catalogue description for a lot, and a copy of the report is available upon request to Phillips’ Jewelry department. Reports from American gemological laboratories used by Phillips will generally disclose heat enhancement or treatment of colored gemstones. European gemological laboratory reports will disclose heat enhancement only if specifically requested but will generally confirm when no heat enhancement or treatment has been made. Variations in approach and technology used by different gemological laboratories may result in a lack of consensus among reports as to whether any particular gemstone has been treated, the extent of treatment and whether treatment is permanent.

It is not feasible for Phillips to obtain such reports for all gemstones offered by us at auction. Prospective buyers should, therefore, bear in mind that colored gemstones offered for sale without a gemological report or a specific statement in the catalogue entry may have been treated to enhance color, transparency or clarity. Enhancement of colored gemstones may affect market value, and our pre-sale estimates reflect the assumption that any colored gemstone not described in the catalogue entry as natural may have been treated.

Country of Origin

While Phillips attempts to obtain accurate information on the country of origin of gemstones, we do not guarantee the correctness of the catalogue or other descriptions of gemstones including country of origin.

SPECIAL NOTICES FOR WATCHES

Phillips makes no representation or warranty that any watch is in working order, and no catalogue description of any lot should be construed as so stating. Prospective buyers are advised to have watches checked by a competent watchmaker before use.

As a service to prospective buyers, we may provide a description of the condition of watches in the catalogue entry, including references to defects and repairs, and furnish a condition report, but such information is not necessarily complete and may not specify all mechanical replacements, restorations or defects.

Please note that Phillips does not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and leather bands, since prior repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts. Nor does Phillips warrant that watches in waterresistant cases are currently water-resistant.

Prospective buyers should inspect all watches prior to the auction to evaluate the condition of property offered for sale.

Σ Exportation of Watch Bands Incorporating Material from Regulated Species

Some of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue may have bands made of regulated or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile and may not lawfully be exported from the auction site without a CITES export permit.

As explained above, these lots are marked with Σ in the catalogue. Accordingly, for purchased watches that are to be shipped out of the sale site for delivery, Phillips may need to remove and retain the band before shipping the watch and buckle.

Collection of Watches after Purchase

All purchased and fully paid for lots can be collected from the Watch Department at 432 Park Avenue during our regular weekday business hours. Please contact us to make an appointment prior to your planned date of pick-up. It is our policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. A lot will only be released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative when Phillips has received full and cleared payment and we are not owed any other amount by the buyer.
