WELCOME
By Paul Boutros and Isabella Proia
As we conclude our 10-year anniversary auctions, we are delighted to present The New York Watch Auction XIII catalogue.
Leading our sale and featured on the front cover is Francis Ford Coppola’s F. P. Journe FFC Prototype—one of the most important timepieces ever to appear at auction. The first watch ever to use a human hand to indicate the time, it was conceived by Coppola and made by François-Paul Journe—the first and only Journe timepiece whose idea came from someone other than François-Paul. It is being offered alongside the F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Resonance he received as a Christmas gift from his wife in 2009 that led to the creation of the FFC. They are among seven watches from Mr. Coppola’s collection being sold to fund the creation of his filmmaking masterpieces.
We are equally thrilled and honored to offer an incredible, matching pair of timepieces made by one of the greatest independent watchmakers of the past century, Philippe Dufour. Consigned by a meticulous collector who was drawn to their rarity, originality, and historical importance, they are Dufour’s iconic Duality and Simplicity models—both with the extraordinary serial number of 01. Each is being offered for the first time publicly, offered in exceptionally well-preserved condition, and complete with their original boxes and papers.
Looking ahead to the future following our first decade, we wish to sincerely thank all of you—our consignors, buyers, enthusiasts, brand representatives, watchmakers, and museums—for your incredible support over the past 10 years.

J.N. SHAPIRO A possibly unique and extremely well-preserved stainless steel wristwatch with purple guilloché dial with Arabic numerals, warranty card, presentation box, additional blue dial and hands
Manufacturer J.N. Shapiro
Year/Origin Circa 2019, United States
Movement No. No. 07 OLE
Model Name Infinity
Material Stainless steel
Calibre Manual, cal. UWD, 19 jewels
Bracelet/Strap Leather
Clasp/Buckle Stainless steel Shapiro pin buckle
Dimensions 40mm Diameter

$20,000–40,000
€17,100–34,300
Accessories

Accompanied by a J. N. Shapiro warranty card dated December 20, 2019 for the date of manufacture and August 3rd, 2021 for the date of sale, numbered fitted wooden presentation box, additional blue steel hand guilloché dial with Roman numerals, and additional hands.
The California based independent watchmaker Joshua N. Shapiro is known for his exceptional line of time-only “Infinity” series of wristwatches, and while he began his career as an educator, his horological journey began by making fine engineturned dials for other watchmakers. In 2018, Shapiro launched his “Infinity” collection with complex engine-turned dials in both traditional and exotic materials giving each watch a unique perspective. The dial is a celebration of guilloché, combining a barleycorn motif along the periphery with the intricate basketweave pattern at its center and echoed again on the subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock.
The present stainless steel example stands out with its purple guilloché dial, and while the dial design pays homage to 17thcentury watchmaking, the movement is thoroughly modern, sourced from Uhren-Werke Dresden (UWD), a sister company of Lang & Heyne. The movement is uniquely hand-engraved with the famed “Mario” mascot of the Nintendo brand. Numbered 07, this example is superbly finished and in preserved in outstanding overall condition. The watch is accompanied by an additional blue guilloché dial and handset, and showcases excellence in American independent watchmaking.



ROLEX A fine and attractive stainless steel diver’s wristwatch with helium escape value, date, bracelet, guarantee, hang tags, and presentation box
Manufacturer Rolex
Year/Origin Circa 2019, Switzerland
Reference No. 126600
Case No. 6M’673’5A4
Model Name Sea-Dweller
Material Stainless steel
Calibre Automatic, cal. 3235, 31 jewels
Bracelet/Strap Stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet, max overall length 220mm

Clasp/Buckle Stainless steel Rolex deployant clasp with diver’s extension, stamped ORV
Dimensions 43mm Diameter
Signed Case, dial, movement, and clasp signed.
Estimate
$5,000–10,000
€4,300–8,600
Accessories
Accompanied by a Rolex International Warranty dated October 5, 2019, fitted green leather Rolex presentation box, numbered hang tag, Rolex hang tag, leather wallet, product literature, and outer packaging.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sea-Dweller, Rolex introduced the reference 126600 at Baselworld 2017. 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.
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 Sea-Dweller 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.
The present Sea-Dweller is offered by the original owner in excellent condition, and accompanied by its original accessories. The Sea-Dweller is a sporty versatile watch— comfortable to wear for a perfect daily timepiece.

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 Oyster steel 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.
Discontinued in by Rolex in 2022, the “Turquoise Blue” is one of the most popular and sought after Oyster Perpetual wristwatches. The present example is fresh-to-the-market from the original owner and in excellent condition. The watch is accompanied by its warranty and presentation box, and is a versatile watch that can be enjoyed on any occasion.

PATEK PHILIPPE A rare and attractive stainless steel wristwatch with date, Certificate of Origin, and presentation box, retailed by Tiffany & Co.
Manufacturer Patek Philippe
Year/Origin 2011, Switzerland
Reference No. 5167A
Movement No. 5’586’857
Case No. 4’745’235
Model Name Aquanaut “Tiffany & Co.”
Material Stainless steel
Calibre Automatic, cal. 324 S C, 29 jewels
Bracelet/Strap Patek Philippe rubber strap, max overall length 175mm
Clasp/Buckle Stainless steel double deployant clasp

Estimate
$60,000–120,000
€51,400–103,000
Accessories

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated June 21, 2011, and stamped Tiffany & Co. Honolulu HI, fitted wooden presentation box, leather envelope, product literature, and outer packaging.
Patek Philippe’s Aquanaut was the brand’s first model produced and sold with a rubber strap. Released in 1997, the reference 5065A “Jumbo” was a limited edition watch of 1,000 timepieces, sold in both stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. The timepiece drew some design cues from the Nautilus, released 20 years earlier, however even for a casual, sporty wristwatch, significant planning and attention to detail went into its design. The embossed dial was carried forward in the brick design of both the steel bracelet and the rubber strap. Significantly more luminous material is used on the dial of the Aquanaut in comparison to the Nautilus, and the hands and indexes are consequently thicker. Both models share the vertically brushed flat bezel, though the Aquanaut has more angular corners, rather than the rounded, porthole-style corners of the Nautilus. The reference 5065 was produced from 1998 until 2006, when it was replaced by the reference 5167A.
Released for the Aquanaut’s 10th anniversary, the reference 5167A featured several upgrades to the original model, including a more pronounced pattern on the dial base, a less crowded dial, a date that supplants the three o’clock hour marker, a new strap with improved texture, as well as a more sophisticated double deployant clasp.
The present example retailed by Tiffany & Co. further heightens its rarity and appeal with the retailer’s signature positioned at six o’clock. Presented in like new overall condition and accompanied by the full set of accessories, the present example is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a highly soughtafter, Tiffany-signed timepiece.

Accompanied by Audemars Piguet numbered hang tag, international guarantee card, product literature, fitted presentation box, and outer box.
Introduced in 2006, the pink gold reference 15202 Royal Oak was an instant success. It retained the elegant, ultra-slim profile of the original “Jumbo” ref. 5402 using the celebrated automatic calibre 2121 created in 1970 as a derivative of the JLCbased caliber 2120. The aperture-type date display raised the movement thickness to 3.05mm, making it the world’s thinnest mechanical automatic movement with a central rotor and date at the time. From 1972 and until its replacement by the caliber 7121 in 2022, the caliber 2121 has been one of the most essential attributes of the Royal Oak “Jumbo” model.
Fitted with a deep blue petite tapisserie dial, the dark tones cast a striking contrast to the luxurious pink gold case and bracelet. The present example is preserved in virtually brand new condition, with protective stickers and plastic casing present to the case and bracelet. It is furthermore offered here as a full set.

The Nautilus—alongside the first luxury steel sport’s watch models from the 1970s—is a remarkable example of the courage and independence of Swiss watchmakers. Against the backdrop of the quartz crisis and many, if not all the stylistic codes that ruled watchmaking until then, a luxury steel sports watch was created and today is the pillar of the Swiss watchmaking industry, with waiting lists so long that one is unable to merely put their name down for a watch today.
Originally envisioned by genius designer Gerald Genta in 1976, the case design is inspired by a luxury cruiser’s portholes, subtly underlining the marriage of elegance and sporty robustness found in this timepiece. Originally marketed as the ultimate status symbol, with strong emphasis on its high cost even though the watch is cased in stainless steel (period advertisements memorably read: “One of the world’s costliest watches is made of steel”), the model is today one of the most recognized and appreciated sports watches available on the market.
The present watch is distinguished by the presence of the Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial at 6 o’clock. While a reference 5711 is a rarity itself and already officially discontinued today, the revered retailer’s signature brings another level of exclusivity.
Preserved in overall excellent condition and complete with its full set of accessories including the blue Tiffany & Co. outer box, the present reference 5711 is one of the rarest of all modern Nautilus models.

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, 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 the 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 in yellow gold with black dial that now resides in the Patek Philippe Museum. The large Arabic numerals and stepped bezel specifically come directly from the reference 2512, as well as the square 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.
Presented in a weighty platinum case with “bleu nuage” or “cloud blue” sunburst dial, the reference 5070P is elegant and sportive in equal measure. The current example is offered single-sealed with its original Certificate of Origin and accessories.

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 complications.
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.

Accompanied by Urban Jurgensen Extract from the Archives dated September 8th, 2019 confirming the watch’s manufacture date on March 17th, 1992, product literature, service receipt, instruction papers, brand new crocodile strap, extra springbars, gloves, presentation box, and outer packaging.
The wristwatches produced during the rebirth of Urban Jürgensen in the 1980s and 1990s embody a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity that reinvigorated contemporary watchmaking. Under the stewardship of Peter Baumberger, together with the revered English watchmaker Derek Pratt, the firm was revived with an unyielding devotion to technical mastery, timeless aesthetics, and uncompromising artisanal craft. It is highly likely that the present watch—one of a limited edition of 100 pieces—was executed entirely by Derek Pratt himself, including the fabrication and finishing of its remarkable dial.
Visually, the watch is a study in classical elegance. A satin outer track with Roman numerals and crisp minute divisions encircles a guilloché center of striking refinement. The perpetual calendar indications are arranged with perfect symmetry: apertures for the day and month span the horizontal axis, while the date and moon phase subdials are aligned vertically. The windows are not merely chamfered but recessed into the dial, while the subsidiary dials display distinctive guilloché patterns. The multiple engine-turnings required to achieve this effect demanded exacting skill, for even the faintest variation in pressure or environment during execution could mar the result, forcing the artisan to discard the plate and begin anew.
Beneath its dial, an ultra-slim automatic perpetual calendar movement is beautifully decorated and fitted with a 21-karat gold rotor. Accompanied by its Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present watch in 1992, it is further accompanied by its service receipts, a brand-new Urban Jürgensen crocodile strap, as well as presentation box and outer packaging.

Accompanied by a F. P. Journe warranty card, suede F. P. Journe presentation box, polish cloth, product literature, two additional F. P. Journe cardboard boxes, and outer packaging.

From his ground-breaking Tourbillon and Résonance models in 1999 and 2000, to his Répétition Souveraine, F. P. Journe launched a contemporary brand with now iconic timepieces revered as much for their technical innovations as they are for their classic designs. In development for more than eight years, the Élégante, initially launched as Journe’s first collection for women, is a masterful 21st century horological solution to the quartz movement and perfectly fits the philosophy of the master horologist.
The Élégante has garnered the attention of many with soaring demand and long waiting lists in recent times. Equipped with a proprietary electro-mechanical movement that features a motion detector visible on the dial through an aperture at 4:30, the watch can conserve its energy by stopping the hands and motors while keeping time in its internal memory. Once the watch is moved again, it awakens and miraculously readjusts to the current time by taking the shortest path—either clockwise or counterclockwise. Furthermore, the luminous dial provides the ability for the wearer to view the entire dial at night with ultimate legibility.
The present Élégante is incredibly rare—the only known platinum production Élégante to ever be offered at auction. Believed to have been made in very few examples during the first year of the Elegante’s production, the platinum case is highlighted by the diamond-set case sides and lugs. Offered by the original owner with its full accessories, this fresh-to-market Élégante presents an exciting opportunity for the discerning collector to own an Élégante that very few knew existed.

The Mirage is the work of Sylvain Berneron, a French designer and former Chief Product Officer at Breitling. His central idea is simple: the movement should shape the case, not the other way around.
Released in 2024, the Mirage quickly became one of the most talked-about independent debuts of the year. Collectors praised its originality. Industry experts pointed to its engineering. Allocation lists filled up almost immediately. Every watch is now spoken for through the end of 2027.
The “Sienna” edition belongs to the Mirage’s inaugural production run and takes its name from the historic pigment, that, when heated, takes on a reddish-brown tone, echoed here in the warmth of the yellow gold components.
Inside is the hand-wound calibre 233, developed with Le Cercle des Horlogers. The movement measures just 2.33mm thick; the full case height comes in at 7mm. The layout makes room for a substantial barrel with 72-hour power reserve, a small seconds, and a large pocket watch-style balance wheel. The mainplate and bridges are crafted from solid 18K gold and feature traditional hand-finishing techniques including guilloché, anglage, cerclage, traits tirés, and nuagage.
In fact, every visible component—the dial, hands, case, buckle, crown, and even the spring bars—is rendered in 18K yellow gold. The dial typography draws from the Fibonacci sequence, a subtle nod to Berneron’s interest in the natural order of things. The Mirage doesn’t look like any other watch because it wasn’t designed like any other watch. It’s for collectors who believe form should follow thought, not tradition.

Each timepiece in the Cartier Privé collection is a fusion of history, artistry, and craftsmanship, ensuring that Cartier’s legacy endures through generations of watch connoisseurs. Interestingly, the Tank Asymétrique has evolved over time, with the middle lug being removed and later reintroduced in the CPCP version in 2006. Whilst retaining the same 30-degree offset as the numerals on its asymmetrical dial, the current series with a skeletonized dial was introduced in 2020 as part of the Privé Cartier Collection. The lacquer-filled Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 o’clock are framed by the dial’s bridges, serving as hour markers and offering a glimpse of the in-house 9623 MC movement that beats within.
Part of the so-called “Temple Exclusive”, the present Tank Asymétrique with burgundy lacquer-filled skeletonized indexes and numerals, has rarely been seen publicly. Only 60 pieces were made and these examples were only available at the London, Paris, and New York City boutiques as part of their off-catalogue offering. The complementary burgundy strap and ruby cabochon further enhance the cohesiveness of the watch. It is presented in excellent overall condition, with all its original accessories, and offered on behalf of an important international collector.

Featuring a 44mm diameter case made in platinum with a 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 applied 18K white gold hour markers. Designed for optimal legibility, the timepiece is fitted with Journe’s in-house cal. 1300.3, crafted in 18K pink gold. The bracelet in platinum, with a beautiful, shimmery matte finish, is supple and engineered to taper to a variety of wrist sizes.
Sold at the Tokyo Boutique in 2020, the present Octa Sport in platinum is set apart by its case number of 001—a prestigious number likely offered to an important customer of F.P. Journe. It is in nearly flawless condition, with all of its original accessories, and will make a bold accompaniment to the wrist of a modern sportsman.

De Bethune has since its inception in 2002 been a potent mix of ancestral horological know-how applied to cutting edge movement and avant-garde designs.
Denis Flageollet, the brand’s co-founder and master watchmaker, rather than simply modifying or improving traditional techniques, takes a precise mathematical and scientific approach to case and movement design architecture, manufacturing process, and finishing of each of his watches. All this results in some of the most visually striking and masterful products in contemporary horology.
Introduced in 2013, the DB28T “Black Gold” Tourbillon features an 18K pink gold case with polished zirconium articulating lugs. The watch features a 30-second tourbillon, which is the lightest in the world, weighing a mere 0.20 grams for 63 parts. It also features a silicon balance wheel and escape wheel, the DeBethune proprietary balance spring with flat terminal curve, and a self-regulating twin barrel to ensure constant torque in its power delivery. Each element of the movement exposed through the dial is meticulously finished.
Numbered 001, the present DB28T “Black Gold” is accompanied by its original accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition, from the collection of an astute connoisseur of independents.

Francis Ford Coppola
GOING “ALL IN”—FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA
Born in Detroit to Italian immigrants Carmine and Italia, Francis Ford Coppola chose filmmaking as his tool to leave a mark on the world. And a significant mark it is, having so far received six Academy Awards, two Palmes d’Or, an AFI Life Achievement Award, and innumerable other accolades spanning the six decades of his career.
After film school in New York, Coppola spent the 1960s establishing himself as a screenwriter, director, and producer with small erotic productions and later diversifying into smaller movies of assorted genres. His first commercial success as a director came in 1968 with a film adaptation of Finian’s Rainbow and resulted in his introduction to a lifelong friend and collaborator, George Lucas. The two creatives established an independent “deviant” film studio called American Zoetrope.
In 1972, Coppola released The Godfather, one of the movies for which he is best known, and perhaps the crux upon which Coppola’s nascent career turned towards true fame—a permanent place in the annals of film history. The Godfather is now considered one of the greatest movies of all time. The “gangster film” genre, for which Coppola is known, has been defined by both The Godfather and its sequel directed by Coppola, The Godfather Part II from 1974.
Another critical and commercial success, Apocalypse Now, Coppola’s war film interpreted the highs and lows of the Vietnam War through the lens of Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness (1899). Other notable films of the 1980s and 1990s include The Outsiders (1983), based on the novel of the same name by S.E. Hinton, The Godfather Part III (1990), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), and The Rainmaker (1997). In the ensuing thirty years since The Rainmaker and before the 2024 release of Megalopolis, Coppola only made three additional movies.
Long time friend George Lucas once said of Coppola, “What Francis does creatively is jump off cliffs. When you spend enough time with Francis, you begin to believe you can jump off cliffs, too.”
Coppola’s work as a vineyard owner is equally impressive and a source of great pride and accomplishment for him. He and his late wife Eleanor purchased the historic Inglenook winery in 1975, one of Napa Valley’s most storied wineries and estates. The Inglenook estate was founded in 1879 by Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum, and its legacy carried on by Niebaum’s grandnephew John Daniel Jr., who created such heralded wines as its 1941 Cabernet Sauvignon. Once out of the founding family’s hands, the estate was broken up, and its prestige diminished.
On a mission to rebuild the estate to its original greatness, in 1995, he reacquired all of the estate’s original vineyards, including the original château. Housing what is most probably Napa Valley’s first tasting room, it was vital for Coppola to keep the interior true to its 19th century style.
Coppola understands the value of time, always looking to the past in order to secure a better future. In 2011 he did just that when he acquired the iconic Inglenook trademark, restoring a symbol of excellence to the Chateau. Coppola has said that he spent more money on the trademark than he did the entire estate, a true testament to just how important historical preservation is to one’s legacy, and the need to restore the past in order to be the best steward going forward, to the land and to its founder, Captain Niebaum.
In a recent interview, Coppola stated, “When I do work, I try to make it the greatest it can be, the most ambitious it can be. If I fail, so what? If I don’t try to make it the most wonderful it could be, I fail anyway.”
It was also around this time that Coppola began acquiring fine timepieces, with their intricate mechanics that corral and measure a thing unseen- time itself.

JOURNE A unique and historically important prototype platinum wristwatch with instantaneous digital hours indicated by animated fingers, rotating minute dial, remontoir d’egalité, Certificate of Authenticity, and presentation box, made for Francis Ford Coppola, from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola
AND FPJ—CREATING TOGETHER
The meeting of two legends of their respective industries came about due to a thoughtful Christmas gift from Coppola’s late wife in 2009—a Chronomètre à Résonance (see lot 18) in platinum with a white gold dial. Delighted and fascinated by the timepiece, Coppola extended an invitation for François-Paul Journe to visit him at his Inglenook winery in the Napa Valley. Their meeting in 2012 was creatively fruitful, with Coppola, long fascinated by historic automatons, asking Journe if a human hand had ever been used, or could be used to indicate time. With no timepieces known to have ever been produced using a human hand, the seeds were planted in Journe’s mind to figure out a way to indicate the passage of time using a single hand.
This idea, “invenit” by Coppola, began whirring François-Paul’s creative gears and in 2014, Journe started ideating and prototyping the watch that would become the FFC. Coppola’s idea, in fact, inspired the first and only Journe timepiece ever to be conceived by someone other than François-Paul himself.
Journe and Coppola together solved the dilemma of how to show the hours on a single hand. Of course, one through five is easy, as all relevant digits are present, but six through twelve presented a trickier conundrum. Ultimately, they worked through a way to clearly distinguish all twelve hours.
Now François-Paul was faced with the next hurdle—the mechanism of the hand and its architecture. For this, he drew inspiration from the pioneering French barber surgeon of the 1500s, Ambroise Paré (1510–1590), widely known as the father of modern surgery and an early innovator of prosthetic limbs. Gained from his experience on the battlefields of Europe and the public hospitals of Paris, Paré attempted to design functional prostheses for those soldiers who had lost limbs in battle to allow them to regain autonomy over their lives. Though he created many different limbs, his hand, nicknamed “Le Petit Lorrain”, was one of the most celebrated—both in the period and after. Crafted from iron and leather, the hand itself concealed gears and springs allowing the fingers to articulate and grasp objects, much like in watchmaking. Indeed, a French army captain wore “Le Petit Lorrain” into battle in 1551 (likely during one of the French campaigns of the Italian War of 1551–1559) and was able to grip the reins of his horse.
François-Paul wished to move away from “naturalism” in the appearance of the hand, and thus decided on Paré’s hand as the archetype for the automaton that would indicate the hours on this new watch. It has an almost steampunk vibe, with overlapping metallic plates with individual screws, reminiscent of medieval armor such as the gauntlet, made to protect the hands and wrists in battle.

JOURNE A unique and historically important prototype platinum wristwatch with instantaneous digital hours indicated by animated fingers, rotating minute dial, remontoir d’egalité, Certificate of Authenticity, and presentation box, made for Francis Ford Coppola, from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola


FORTUNA AUDACES IUVAT
With its form decided, Journe attacked the next obstacle—how to efficiently power the hand mechanism without depleting the energy produced by the movement, and how to structure the movement in order to create a reliable timepiece. He turned to the tried and true automatic caliber he pioneered in 2001, the Octa caliber 1300.3, which possesses a power reserve of five days. To harness the energy, Journe incorporated another tried and true mechanism used in his previous creations, the remontoir d’egalité.
Ten cams, visible through the dial side of the watch, spring into motion once an hour to initiate the movement of the fingers from one hour configuration to the next. The same amount of energy is required to advance each motion of the fingers, no matter their position.
It took Journe seven years to integrate all these various aspects into a working watch and test it to make sure of its reliability. The result is a movement only 8.1mm thick—in line with the thickness of other complicated Octa caliber-based watches. All this was to “prove that the best way to make a complicated watch is to think about how to save energy in order to make it work without having to add any.” And thus, by François-Paul’s hand, the FFC was finally “fecit” to completion.

FROM THE HAND OF ONE MASTER TO ANOTHER
Made in two unique examples by François-Paul for both himself and Francis Ford Coppola, these prototypes vary from future production pieces in several ways. Journe’s of course, remains with him, while the present watch is the prototype made for Coppola, as shown by the engraving on the outer rim. Along with the unique FFC Blue prototype made for Only Watch 2021, these are the only FFCs, and one of very few watches ever, assembled by Journe’s own hand.
Coppola’s example also possesses an 18K pink gold Octa caliber rotor, instead of one engraved with his name such as the production pieces. Paré’s hand, rendered in titanium, is black, rather than the anthracite of production pieces, and the rotating minute ring is white instead of grey. The FFC Coppola has bridges made of steel, and the second steel bridge prototype belongs to the F.P. Journe Museum collection. Small tool marks are visible on both sides of the movement under very close examination, indicating the prototype nature of this specific timepiece.
Very few FFCs are produced and delivered every year since production began in 2023, going only to François-Paul’s best clients, and other than the FFC Blue prototype, one has never come up for public auction. This appearance of Francis Ford Coppola’s own FFC is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to receive a gift from the hand of a master of his craft, to another master of his craft—bearing the hand conceived by a master of his craft.

F.P. JOURNE A pivotal and impressive platinum dual-time chronometer wristwatch with small seconds, double escapement, power reserve indication, white gold dial, Certificate of Authenticity, and presentation box, from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola
F.P. Journe’s Chronomètre à Résonance represents not only one of modern horology’s technical milestones and one of the most relevant horological breakthroughs of the past decades, but it is also a signature piece by the genius watchmaker. Inspired by the works of the great 18th century watchmaker Antide Janvier, Journe took up the challenge in 1983 to create a pocket-watch using the resonance phenomenon, followed by the first ever wristwatch to use the phenomenon around 17 years later.
The movement is composed of two independent balance wheels, when in motion, the balance wheels create the resonance effect and beat in synchrony, naturally evening out each other’s discrepancies and thus permitting greater accuracy. In 2004, the second generation of the model (the RN series for “Résonance “Nouvelle”) was launched, it featured a larger 40mm case and a 18K rose gold movement.
Purchased as a Christmas gift for her husband by Eleanor Coppola in 2009 at the F.P. Journe Boutique in New York, this Résonance echoes the provenance of many influential watches, such as Paul Newman’s Paul Newman Daytona—a meaningful gift from a beloved spouse. Eleanor and Francis met on the set of 1963 horror film Dementia 13 , directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola. They would go on to have three children together, and remained married for 62 years until her passing in 2024. Eleanor was a noted documentarian, screenwriter, and artist who filmed the footage of what is considered the greatest “making of” documentary, Hearts of Darkness A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, chronicling the filming of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now

It was this watch that spawned the excitement and interest of Francis Coppola in F.P. Journe, and instigated his personal invitation to meet in 2012 at his Inglenook winery in Napa Valley. On the first night of his 3-day stay, during dinner, the idea of telling time using a single hand was proposed by Coppola to Journe. Without this very Résonance, lovingly worn by Coppola, the “FFC” wouldn’t exist, and the first F.P. Journe wristwatch designed by someone other than F.P. Journe would never have come to pass.

F.P. JOURNE
An early and important platinum souscription automatic wristwatch with eccentric time display, oversized date aperture, power reserve, guarantee, certificate of authenticity, and presentation box, number 17 of a 20 piece souscription series
For those entrenched in the horological world of the 21st century, it is difficult to imagine an existence without F.P. Journe. François-Paul Journe introduced his first wristwatch, the Tourbillon Souverain, in 1999, and shortly thereafter followed with the revolutionary Chronomètre à Résonance and the Octa Automatique. 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.
Journe said regarding the development of the Octa, “The creation of the Octa calibre was a real challenge for me, partly in terms of chronometry and timekeeping, but also in terms of respect of day-to-day comfort. I thus devised an automatic winding mechanical movement with a large power-reserve that could incorporate many future complications within the same volume.” Though no stranger to horological challenges, what is particularly incredible about the Octa is the foresight of its creator in creating an adaptable movement and case. It displays Journe’s confidence in the longevity of his own brand, and his technological aptitude.

An extremely rare and important platinum “Souscription” chronometer wristwatch with dual resonating escapements, number 17 of a 20 piece souscription series


Chronomètre à Résonance “Souscription
When François-Paul Journe unveiled the Chronomètre à Résonance in 2000, it was far more than a technical innovation— it was a philosophical manifesto. Drawing inspiration from the 18th-century horological experiments of Antide Janvier and Abraham-Louis Breguet, Journe succeeded where none of his contemporaries had: creating a wristwatch with two independent oscillators beating in sympathetic resonance, naturally regulating each other to achieve greater chronometric stability.
F.P. JOURNE
An extremely rare and important platinum “Souscription” chronometer wristwatch with dual resonating escapements, number 17 of a 20 piece souscription series
The souscription examples of the Chronomètre à Résonance feature the following characteristics:
Numbered 001–020, the Souscription watches, such as the present lot, were first offered to the twenty clients who had subscribed to Journe’s inaugural Tourbillon Souverain, their purchases effectively financing the birth of his manufacture. Bearing the suffix /00R for the production year 2000, these watches were not necessarily delivered sequentially, though many collectors ordered matching Tourbillon and Résonance pairs. They feature notably deep, laser-etched caseback engravings, distinguishing them from later executions.
The present example, no. 017/00R, thus stands firmly within the foundational Souscription series—one of the first twenty examples ever made, and among the most historically significant. Elevating its importance and desirability, it is furthermore confirmed to be a true Souscription watch in the accompanying Authenticity Certificate, signed by FrançoisPaul Journe himself, originally ordered in “subscription” and delivered in 2000.

Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives of Longines confirming the present watch was invoiced on January 14th, 1949 to Terrasse, Longines’s agent for Sweden.
First launched in 1936, the Longines 13ZN chronograph movement is still considered today as one of the most beautiful and technically interesting wristwatch chronograph movements ever produced. Designed as a flyback chronograph, where a user can quickly reset the chronograph seconds hand to zero while it’s running, almost all 13ZN-based chronograph wristwatches sold incorporated this convenient function.
Hardly ever seen, the reference 5415 is a rare snap-down caseback model, rather than the more well-known “Tre Tacche” models with screwdown cases. A double flap on the caseback aids opening and servicing. The black luminous dial is entirely original and beautifully preserved, reacting correctly under UV light. The batch number of 28 engraved on the caseback matches the same number underneath the lug. Interestingly, the movement is stamped ‘13NZ’ in what has been confirmed by the manufacture’s Heritage department as a rare factory error. Preserved in excellent overall condition, it’s a wonderful example for the collector, originally sold to Longines’ agent in Sweden.

Accompanied by an Omega Extract from the Archives dated June 7th, 2021 confirming production of the present watch on December 8th, 1938 and sold to Poland. Further accompanied by an Omega presentation box.
The present CK 2039 is a remarkable and breathtaking watch measuring a massive 44mm in diameter which was absolutely gargantuan for the era: at the time gentleman’s dress watches usually measured between 31 and 35mm in diameter, with 37mm already considered oversized. Introduced in 1938, Omega’s reference CK 2039 is a wonderful example of Omega’s diverse production prior to their famed association with the American space race in the mid-20th century. These models were made for the Polish market and the present example is one of the rarest of all Omega wristwatches. Inside is the Omega caliber 37.6S, a robust pocket watch movement most often used in early military or aviator watches.
Elevating the present watch’s importance is the never-beforeseen lacquered black dial, remaining beautifully preserved and highly glossy. The condition of the case is equally impressive, with minimal signs of wear considering its age and remarkably, in our opinion, having never been polished. Offered for the first time publicly by an important collector, the watch will appeal to all connoisseurs due to its exceptional rarity, outstanding quality, and contemporary dimensions.

On February 20th, 1986 the Soviet Union launched the first continuously inhabited space station, MIR—Russian for “peace” and “world”—which would continue to host astronauts until it was decommissioned in and deorbited in March 2001. MIR was a technological feat of mankind, experimenting with human endurance in space and a diplomatic achievement, which saw the US and Russian space agencies coming together in the spirit of cooperation in space.
MIR was a working laboratory and in July 1993, Omega sent 35 Speedmaster Professional chronographs to the space station. There were 28 examples in stainless steel with seven in yellow gold and all remained in orbit for 365 days. Upon their return to earth, Omega extensively tested the timepieces and found all to be in excellent working order following a year in space. Beginning in 1995, Omega offered these extraordinary timepieces to the public with a dedicative and celebrative engraving on the caseback “365 Days On Board Space Station MIR July 1993–July 1994”.
The present space-flown Speedmaster Professional “MIR 365 Days” is number 23 of the 28 examples, and offered in outstanding, hardly-worn condition.
Consigned by an important American collector, the present lot comes accompanied with the most complete set of original Omega accessories ever offered publicly, including a remarkable aluminum briefcase, VHS tape, and its original warranty stamped by a retailer in Hong Kong. The Omega heritage department confirms the watch was delivered to Hong Kong in 1997.



When you think of spending a lifetime together, the term is usually ascribed to romantic or platonic love, not horological companionship. But this Submariner reference 1680 has been the companion of another since its production in the dying days of the 1970s. A mere 16 case numbers apart from its sister (the following lot 25), it is more likely than not that both watches were sold to a South American Rolex dealer together, then to the same owner. Both watches are in almost the same physical condition and bear the same distinctive traits that set them apart from even the finest gold Submariners.
Most strikingly, the watches are fitted with 18K yellow gold Rolex President bracelets, manufactured in South America using Rolex patented designs. This is evidenced by the D’Agosto hallmark on each clasp, and also the distinctive texture and heft of the bracelets themselves. There are also matching “C” within a square punched to the underside of one lug, a common import mark for the South American market.
The condition on each is some of the crispest and most original we have seen. Sharply defined chamfers adorn crisply downturned lugs, each lug hole precisely drilled with no rubbing. The present lot has the original caseback sticker almost entirely still present. A deep, rich pumpkin color has overtaken the original “bicchierini” luminous plots, and the bracelets have minimal stretch and sharp finishing.
Overall, the effect on the wrist individually, and side by side is beyond impressive. It’s rare to get the opportunity to buy one unpolished gold Submariner—it’s nearly impossible to be given the same opportunity twice.

ROLEX An extremely well-preserved, very rare, and highly attractive stainless steel diver’s wristwatch with “four liner” dial and bracelet


The present reference 6538 made in 1958 is amongst the most impressive and best preserved “Big Crown” Submariner wristwatches to appear publicly in recent years—and a dream watch for collectors in terms of its condition and originality.
First launched in 1955, reference 6538 is incredibly desirable today due to its rarity, robust proportions, and good looks. The model was in production for four short years, and is characterized by its black lacquer “Swiss”-signed dial, lack of crown guards and 8 millimeter crown, hence its name “Big Crown Submariner”. Reference 6538 is forever immortalized onscreen, having accompanied Sean Connery’s James Bond on multiple secret missions. Bond’s chosen watch was a “Big Crown” Submariner on the films Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. Consequently, reference 6538 is today also known as the “James Bond Submariner” to Rolex collectors and scholars.

This example, manufactured in approximately 1958, was produced towards the end of the reference’s production period. Known as a “Four Liner”, the beautifully preserved, glossy lacquered dial displays “Officially Certified Chronometer”, comprising two lines of text underneath the depth rating. This designation denotes that the watch is fitted with a chronometer certified movement. “Four liner” dials are especially beloved by collectors, and considered rarer and more valuable than their “two-liner” counterparts. The dial is further enhanced by the lovely and fully intact luminous hour markers and hands that have aged to a lovely warm beige tone.
The present example is presented in an impressively preserved condition. It seems that the watch has spent its life securely stored away from the ocean and worn only occasionally. The case is crisp retaining the beautiful bevels and facets that run along the lugs as it left the factory. Most impressively, the caseback exhibits the factory original “Stainless Steel” engraving, which remains perfectly crisp—clear signs the case has most certainly never been polished.
To find such a well-preserved example that is now 67 years old is an incredible opportunity for a select few.

In 1988, on the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the first Cosmograph Daytona model, Rolex launched the first self-winding chronograph in its history. The watch housed the Rolex caliber 4030, based on Zenith’s El Primero movement with substantial modifications performed by Rolex. Fitted with a sapphire crystal for the first time, the Daytona’s case size was increased to 40 millimeters to house the new movement. In the ensuing decades, up until the in-house automatic chronograph caliber 4130 was introduced, the “Zenith” Daytona was produced in a wide array of metals, dial options, and sometimes anointed with precious gems and hardstone.
The present example, a 16528 in full 18K yellow gold, features a stunning and hardly ever seen white mother-of-pearl dial. Often seen with diamond-set hour markers, this configuration is both more rare and more restrained, with vertical Arabic hour markers instead. It is an elevated take on a simple white dial, with the mother-of-pearl shimmering and oscillating in the light.
Not only is the watch itself beautiful, but it is, in our opinion, completely unpolished with the original caseback sticker still present. It is accompanied with its full suite of accessories, including a guarantee paper mentioning the exact dial configuration. The retailer mentioned on the guarantee has its insignia emblazoned on the outer packaging as well, along with a slew of accompanying materials.

OMEGA A highly important and exceedingly rare platinum automatic wristwatch with integrated bracelet, diamond-set dial, sweep center seconds, certificate, product literature, and presentation box, one of only two examples made
The Omega Constellation has long been revered as one of the most important chronometer wristwatches of the 1950s and 1960s, forming a cornerstone of the manufacturer’s success. While today the Speedmaster commands the lion’s share of attention, in period it was the Constellation that stood at the apex of OMEGA’s technical and aesthetic offerings. Combining exacting precision with elegant design, the Constellation line embodied Omega’s ambitions to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the finest watchmaking houses in Switzerland.
Among the Constellations, the present Grand Luxe is undoubtedly one of the most elusive and extraordinary. The reference 16331 offered here is one of only two examples known to exist. According to research, the pair was specially commissioned for a member of the Kuwaiti royal family in the late 1950s, underscoring both the exclusivity and prestige of this configuration. Its sibling surfaced at the celebrated Omegamania sale in 2007, achieving an extraordinary 413,700 CHF—at the time one of the highest results ever realized for an Omega wristwatch. Remarkably, the present watch bears a serial and case number immediately adjacent to that historic example, strongly supporting the conclusion that the two were created as companion pieces.

An extremely well preserved, highly attractive, and exceptional triple calendar wristwatch with moon phase and

Gay Frères Bracelet

The Rolex Reference 8171, known as the “Padellone” (Italian for large frying pan) amongst collectors, is one of the most legendary, best proportioned, and consequently sought after vintage wristwatches ever made by any manufacturer. If one were to ask the worldwide community of watch collectors which model, in their view, should be on the all-time top ten list of collectors’ watches, Rolex’s large triple calendar reference 8171, would certainly be most often cited. During the end of the 1940s and into the 1950s, much of Rolex’s design efforts concentrated on tool watches for a new world order, where an increasingly active public demanded precision timekeepers that could withstand the harsh environments they encountered. Rolex’s two full calendar watches—the references 8171 and 6062—were a departure from the tool watch to a complicated wristwatch for the modern gentleman. These classically styled wristwatches were only in production for a very short period during the early 1950s and both were available in yellow gold, pink gold or stainless steel. The reference 8171 is especially sought after due to its large 38mm diameter, especially when considering that a large gentleman’s watch in 1950 was around 35mm.

The present example is, in a word, exceptional. First appearing at auction in 2018 when it was consigned by the family of the original owner, it impresses with its incredible state of preservation, remaining hardly ever worn and most certainly, never polished in any way. It retains the harmonious case proportions and sharp edges, crisp facets and angles as originally delivered in 1952. The reference 8171’s case is breathtaking when preserved in close to mint condition, such as the present example, with its engraved case number and Rolex coronet still perfectly crisp and visible on the caseback.
The dial is equally stunning. It’s wonderful, original grainé dial remaining in outstanding condition with minor signs of aging, harmonizing with the case.
Such well-preserved reference 8171 examples are extremely rare. Fitted with a period correct Gay Frères bracelet, it can certainly be considered a trophy watch worthy of a prominent position within a world-class collection.

Jaeger Le Coultre’s Geophysic Chronometer was launched during a period of extensive scientific exploration in the mid 20th century. The scientific community announced 1958 as the International Geophysic Year, a global collaboration of 67 countries spanning the planet studying all aspects from the atmosphere to the oceans. In this new age of research there was a growing need for tool watches, from dive watches to anti-magnetic timekeepers. Researchers and explorers who were in the field needed precision watches that could also endure extreme environments.
Jaeger LeCoultre’s Geophysic Chronometre featured the high grade caliber P478/BWSbr, based on the famed caliber 488 used in the Mark XI made for the British Royal Air Force. With a self-compensating balance spring, central hacking mechanism, and Glucydur balance wheel, the movement was shielded from magnetism with an inner iron case. Designed for maximum robustness, a screw-down caseback was used for improved water resistance, permitting work on research vessels in the middle of the ocean, or in the freezing cold at the Antarctic research station.
The Geophysic Chronometre was produced mostly in stainless steel for one year only in around 1,000 examples. Examples in 18 karat yellow gold are extremely rare, with only a handful known to have appeared publicly to date. The present model is offered in excellent original condition, and is an elusive, hardlyever-seen chronometer for the collector.

Released in the 1958, Jaeger Le Coultre’s Geophysic Chronometer wristwatch commemorated the International Geophysical Year, which coincided with the brand’s 125th anniversary. The International Geophysical Year was a global initiative involving 67 countries conducting comprehensive studies of geophysical phenomena across the planet including seismology, electromagnetism, glaciology, radioactivity, and solar activity. The mid-20th century was a period of extensive scientific study with the launch of the first satellites like Sputnik 1 and the start of the space age, the advancement of nuclear power, as well as the establishment of the first Antarctic research station. During this period of intense scientific research, the world of horology also underwent a sea change with the production of tool watches that fit the needs of new age explorers.
Jaeger LeCoultre’s Geophysic Chronometer wristwatch was produced for one year in approximately 1000 examples. The 35mm diameter stainless steel case was designed for scientists and explorers who would be in extreme conditions, highly water resistant with an inner iron case to protect against magnetism. The present example is exceptionally wellpreserved and retains the original Chronometre Geophysic sticker to the back. The watch is a testament to both the ingenuity of exacting chronometer craftsmanship and the spirit of scientific excellence of the mid-20th century.

Accompanied by IWC Certificate confirming production of the present watch and its subsequent sale on October 13th, 1953.
Mid-20th century horology is celebrated for its iconic tool watches, yet cloisonné enamel dials stand as an equally compelling testament to the artistry of the era. The late 1940s and 1950s mark the golden age of enamel, when post-war innovation and shifting aesthetics gave rise to some of the most imaginative wristwatches ever made. Cloisonné dials introduced vibrant creativity and decorative refinement, elevating timepieces into wearable art.
Each was painstakingly made by hand: thin gold wires formed the design, enamel powder filled the cells, and successive firings brought the colors to life. While some motifs appear similar, each dial is unique, with subtle variations in hue and detail.
The present watch is among the exceedingly few cloisonné dial wristwatches known from IWC, made even rarer by its 36mm case—larger than the brand’s typical 34–35mm examples. The pink gold case is refined with sharply downturned “Bombay” lugs, lending it sculptural presence. Most striking is the dial, combining cloisonné and champlevé techniques in a geometric floral motif. Shades of brown, red, orange, green, and yellow interplay harmoniously, with engraved details adding depth and texture that reveal the hand of a master craftsman.

Accompanied by Rolex leather wallet, service receipt from Rolex Milano dated March 21, 1974, a blank Rolex chronometer certificate, and an original Bureaux Suisses Chronometer Rating Certificate.
The reference 6105 is an early version of Rolex’s iconic Datejust model, nicknamed “Ovettone” by collectors for its generous case back, also referred to as “Bubble Back”, due to its bulging caseback designed for early self-winding calibers such as the A296. The reference is very rare given its short production period from 1951-1953, and was produced most often in stainless steel, yellow gold and seldomly in pink gold, like the present example.
The present example is preserved in outstanding condition, fitted with a classic Rolex “Oyster Perpetual” dial with dagger hour markers and intact luminous plots with luminous hands and date window at 3 o’clock. Its desirability is elevated by the very rare, pink gold riveted Rolex Oyster bracelet, and the accompanying documentation including the original chronometer rating certificate. The reference 6105 is a highly charismatic timepiece and stands out amongst other watches of the 1940s and 1950s due to its generous 36mm diameter case, which was considered exceptional large during this era.

Since the emergence of the Day-Date in 1956, Rolex has continuously surprised the world with an assortment of unprecedented variations of the model. The timepiece was the first to feature the day of the week fully spelled out in an aperture at the 12 o’clock, with the date aperture at 3 o’clock. The secondgeneration reference 1803 was released in 1959 and remained in production until 1977. The inception of the colorful lacquered Stella dials in the 1970s was Rolex’s first adventurous take on a more playful and eccentric facet hidden behind the brand. The present Day-Date reference 1803 is a wonderfully elegant example featuring a green lacquered dial encased in 18K yellow gold and topped with a fluted bezel.
The “Stella” name is derived from the former supplier of Rolex’s lacquer and varnishes which was named ‘Stella’. Ironically, these unconventional dials were unappreciated at the time and batches were allegedly destroyed, thus resulting in the scarcity that remain. The present example features a rare and desirable configuration with green “Stella” dial. Brilliant, lacquered “Stella” dials were produced for over a decade in a range of powerful colors, including green, turquoise, orange, black, and tobacco. The extraordinary color perfectly complements the yellow gold case providing for a mesmerizing result along with being wellpreserved, enhancing the timepiece’s overall charm. The present example with Spanish day wheel corresponds to the Latin American import stamp on the back of a lug.
While “Stella” dials are no longer offered on modern Rolex Day-Dates, this rare vintage model is an exciting opportunity to own a stunning example of one of the most diverse watch models produced by any brand.

In 2022, Cartier celebrated the 100th anniversary of the original Tank Chinoise, a redesigned and elongated version of the Tank watch that drew inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture by incorporating prominent brancards at the top and bottom of the case. These brancards are meant to evoke the porticos of East Asian religious architecture, and bear similarities to the beautiful Mystery clocks that Cartier is renowned for.
Though the original 1922 Tank Chinoise was square-shaped, an elongated version made appearances during its 100-year long existence. Alongside reworked time-only limited editions in pink gold, yellow gold, and platinum, Cartier introduced three skeletonized versions even more heavily influenced by East Asian architecture and design. Not only the brancards of the case, but also the bridges on the dial side of the movement have been lacquered and skeletonized to resemble geometric patterns inspired by China.
In virtually brand new condition and with its full suite of accessories, this limited edition Tank Chinoise Skeleton is an audacious rendition of a classic reference, one surely to delight the avid collector.

To celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Audemars Piguet in 2000, the brand released a series of 125 unique pieces that would then embark on an international tour. Each unique piece was inspired by a specific era or design relevant to the watches Audemars Piguet had produced in its 125-year history of horological excellence.
One of these timepieces was a unique asymmetric time-only wristwatch with a flared case, paired with a vivid blue guilloché dial and Breguet numerals. It was inspired by the audacious case architecture of a 1953 timepiece that later inspired contemporary Audemars Piguet designers to reinvent it in the second [RE]Master wristwatch.
The reference 12629 is the only example cased in pink gold and without diamond adornment. Other unique examples were produced in different metals and/or with diamondset cases and dials. Consigned by the original owner, it is preserved in exemplary overall condition with its original guarantee booklet dated to 2001 and book detailing each of the 125th anniversary pieces.

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1960 and its subsequent sale on October 10th, 1960 with a yellow gold bracelet.
Gilbert Albert is beloved for his novel and daring designs that completely departed from the quotidian during the 1950s and 1960s. In 1955, Patek Philippe hired Albert, a young jewelry designer at the time, as the head of their creative department. The talented artist took inspiration from modern artists such as Brancusi and Mondrian, as well as the elegant lines and futuristic shapes of the Space Age. Albert left Patek Philippe after eight years to focus on jewelry design, but the avant-garde creations he produced were seminal designs influencing future daring endeavors.
First sold at auction in 2015, it remains the only example of this reference to appear publicly. The case, made by Markowski, is made of two pieces and mounted on a textured mesh gold bracelet. Key number 8, the Markowski case maker’s mark, is stamped on many of Patek Philippe’s most audacious case designs beginning as early as possibly 1921, up until 1963.
The incredibly well-made bracelet drapes elegantly on the wrist, framing the bold design of the rhomboid case. Preserved in remarkable condition, the watch features a warm champagne dial adorned with raised hard enamel for the black signature and minute track, further underscoring its originality. Coming from an important international collector, the present reference 3270/1, conceived by Gilbert Albert, is ready to grace the wrist of a new collector.

Further accompanied by a later Patek Philippe presentation box and outer packaging, Patek Philippe brochure, 2019 Henri Stern service invoice, and Patek Philippe service tag.
Patek Philippe’s groundbreaking reference 3448 was launched in 1962 as the world’s first self-winding perpetual calendar wristwatch, replacing the earlier manually wound perpetual references 1526 and 2497. Today, it is one of the most coveted models due to its symmetry, harmony and robust Calatravastyle case produced by Antione Gerlach. The exquisite caliber 27-460 Q (“Q” for Quantiême) was built on Patek Philippe’s first automatic caliber 12-600 introduced in 1953. After almost two decades in production, in 1981 the brand replaced the 3448 with the reference 3450 featuring a leap year indicator, which was later disconnected in the mid-1980s, replaced by the reference 3940.
Nicknamed the “Padellone” by Italian collectors, the reference 3448 is adored by collectors for its oversized, 37.5mm diameter case with clean, angular lines and the symmetrical, balanced dial. The way in which the wide bezel slopes dramatically outwards from the dial, with jutting angular lugs, gives the impression of a watch much larger than its actual case measurements. Later examples, such as the current lot, feature more uniform and modern print for the signature and date track.
The present example is in lovely condition, and was factory serviced in 2019. The model is one of Patek Philippe’s finest creations and is an icon within horological circles.

Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1948, and its subsequent sale on March 11, 1949.
Beginning in the late 1930s, there was a growing appreciation in society for sports and outdoor pursuits. Watch manufacturers sought to fulfill a demand for more durable timepieces, which could withstand the elements. The reference 1463 was designed for such active clientele as the sportier alternative to the less robust reference 130 chronograph. It was produced mainly in yellow gold, with fewer examples in stainless steel and pink gold. How telling, that even in the pursuit of creating a sports watch, Patek Philippe still decided to focus production on precious metals.
In production from 1940 through 1965, the reference 1463 is extremely desirable amongst collectors for its mid-20th century design with oversized case proportions, water resistance, gently curved lugs, and its whimsically carved, round chronograph pushers. The model was offered with a variety of dial types with the present model featuring the rare pulsation scale.
Originally sold in 1949, this reference 1463 previously appeared at auction in 1997 in this exact configuration. The dial is believed to be from the 1960s due to the omission of the outer railway minute track. One can assume that the dial most probably was changed by Patek Philippe in the 1960s during a service when this extremely rare pulsations dial was fitted at the request of the then-owner.
Preserved in outstanding condition with a crisp, and most probably unpolished case, it is sure to impress collectors with its beauty and exemplary state of preservation.

When Patek Philippe introduced the reference 3940 in 1985, it marked a pivotal moment in modern watchmaking history. The reference not only heralded a new era of ultra-slim automatic perpetual calendars but also represented Philippe Stern’s vision of mechanical purity and timeless design. It was produced continuously for over two decades and is today regarded as one of the most elegant and enduring expressions of late-20thcentury Patek Philippe craftsmanship.
Within this extensive production run, a handful of early variants stand out—foremost among them, the elusive doré dial examples. Instantly recognizable to connoisseurs for their golden-pink hue, these dials were produced exclusively during the first and early second series, primarily adorning references 3940J and 3941J.
Collectors regard the doré dial with reverence—not merely for its visual beauty, but also for its historical and emotional significance. Philippe Stern himself was known to wear a 3940 with such a dial as his personal watch, a symbolic reflection of the model’s importance to Patek Philippe. Beyond its association with the Stern family, the doré finish represents the romance of early production and the meticulous, artisanal finishing that defined the manufacture’s craftsmanship throughout the 1980s.
The present example is a particularly exceptional specimen of this legendary reference as it bears all the hallmarks of earlyseries production. Yet what truly sets it apart is not only the doré dial itself, as confirmed by the Certificate of Origin, but its completeness as a collector’s set.

In 1995, Patek Philippe made history with the first self-winding annual calendar wristwatch ever produced. Awarded “Watch of the Year”, the reference 5035 was an immediate success with its revolutionary caliber 315 and the ability to adjust the calendar only once a year. In 1997, the brand released the reference 5036 with bracelet, power reserve at 12 o’clock, and the 24hour indication replaced with a moon phase. These pioneering models are sought after for their contemporary appeal and ease in making the calendar adjustments simpler for the everyday wearer.
Discontinued in 2007, the present early watch from 1998 is a desirable example with black dial, luminous Roman numerals, moon phase, power reserve, and a refined white gold bracelet. The dial and white gold case complement each other with a sporty appeal and a rare Patek Philippe signature at 6 o’clock.

The reference 5170, cased in yellow gold, was introduced in 2010 housing the first in-house “simple” chronograph movement by Patek Philippe. It replaced the 12-year run of the reference 5070, the first Patek chronograph to be produced since the discontinuation of the iconic vintage reference 1463 in the late 1960s. The reference 5070 was significantly larger than the 5170, at 42mm in diameter, and housed a Lemania-based chronograph movement modified and finished by Patek Philippe.
The white gold version of the reference 5170 was introduced in 2013, with the distinction of having a dial with applied Breguet hour markers and pulsometer scale. With a slim yet sizable case profile, the 5170 is highly discreet and wearable—a perfect watch for the office, a board meeting, or for weekend wear. The caliber CH 29-535 PS winds smoothly and beautifully, and the chronograph pushers have extremely satisfying haptics.
Elevating its rarity and desirability, the present example was retailed by Tiffany & Co., which is prominently displayed on the dial as well as the original Certificate of Origin. Offered fresh-to-the-market and complete with its original Certificate of Origin stamped by Tiffany & Co, it is a rare opportunity for the discerning collector.

The first Royal Oak Chronograph was introduced in 1997. The reference 25860 housed the caliber 2385 based on the ultra-slim, Frederic Piguet caliber 1185, with the new movement being the thinnest self-winding chronograph movement made at the time, permitting the classic thin profile of the original Royal Oak to be maintained.
The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph was a commercial success, and to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the model, the firm released the successor reference 26331. Introduced at SIHH 2017, the 01 variant of the model features a wonderful blue tapisserie dial, while retaining all the hallmarks of the original Royal Oak with the hexagonal bezel secured by eight screws.
The present example is preserved in virtually brand-new condition with its original factory stickers and plastic protective casing still present. It is accompanied by all of its original accessories.

When Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5140 in 2006, it marked the natural evolution of one of the manufacture’s most emblematic complications: the perpetual calendar. As successor to the legendary 3940, the 5140 maintained the same spirit of understated sophistication and technical refinement, while offering a more contemporary interpretation through its slightly larger 37.2mm case and sleeker dial design.
Crafted in platinum, the present example stands as the most visually striking of the entire lineage, featuring a mesmerizing blue sunburst dial that immediately distinguishes it from its counterparts. The metallic tone shimmers between deep navy and electric azure depending on the light, lending the watch a quiet grandeur—cool, reserved, and unmistakably modern. The elegant dauphine hands, applied white-gold indices, and discreet minute track all harmonize perfectly within the balanced tri-compax layout that has become synonymous with Patek Philippe’s perpetual calendars.

Initially launched with a grey dial and fitted on a leather strap, the reference 5726A/1A-001 Nautilus Annual Calendar featured a well-proportioned 40.5mm case and perfectly symmetrical dial layout with two apertures at 12 o’clock indicating the day and month. At 6 o’clock, the moon phase and 24-hours are indicated via a subsidiary dial with an aperture indicating the date below, inspired by the brand’s vintage perpetual calendar models. A second generation Nautilus Annual Calendar was launched in 2012 paired with a matching stainless steel Nautilus bracelet and stunning white dial with contrasting black markers like the present reference 5726/1A-010. Today, Patek Philippe’s annual calendar Nautilus with blue dial (014) is still offered within their collection.

A Lange & Söhne’s Cabaret is a declaration of the Saxon brand’s desire for experimentation and horological excellence. Just three years after the brand’s rebirth in 1994, a bold departure from their round-shaped timepiece was debuted, the Cabaret with a rectangular case set itself apart, with a proud display of its signature digital outsize date inspired by Dresden’s Semper Opera House clock.
Its bold rectangular case design pays tribute to the geometric elegance of the Art Deco style from the 1920s and 1930s. The present example showcases exceptional craftsmanship and refinement, with a bezel set with 46 baguette diamonds totaling approximately 2.5 carats, and is paired with an inky black dial. The hour markers, hands and date window are crafted from solid gold, adding to the watch’s luxurious appeal.
A striking and luxurious feature elevating the present example’s desireability is the exquisite white gold Wellendorff bracelet. This combination of white gold, diamond-set case and white gold bracelet is hardly ever seen. Typically, the bejeweled version of the Cabaret features a round brilliant diamond-set case, sometimes paired with a diamond-set bracelet. The present combination, coupled with its complete set of accessories, is an exceptionally rare and beguiling example of an already niche reference from the German brand.

A first-ever appearance at auction, the Patek Philippe Twenty~4 reference 7300/140R is a spectacular show-stopper with a round case and automatic movement, and a fully snow-set diamond pavé case, bracelet, and dial.
The first iteration of the Twenty~4 collection was introduced in 1999, with a rectangular case, flat link bracelet, and quartz movement. In 2018, no doubt in response to the demands of collectors, the Twenty~4 collection was expanded to include a round case bracelet watch measuring 36mm diameter with an automatic movement, the reference 7300.
The fully snow-set case, dial, and bracelet is a more dynamic form of diamond pavé setting requiring exceptional skill. Diamonds of varying sizes are hand-placed by artisans in close proximity, giving the effect of sparkling light reflecting against fresh snow. It is an increasingly popular form of diamond setting for wristwatches, amplifying the “bling” factor. 2,854 diamonds adorn the case, totaling 16.3 carats.
In overall nearly new condition, this prestigious and flagship reference 7300/140R making its auction debut is further accompanied by its full suite of accessories.

In 1957, Rolex introduced an automatic chronometer movement specifically for women. Featuring a date complication and with a diminutive size, this movement would power the Lady-Datejust, a reliable, durable, and elegant wristwatch engineered for women. The first Lady-Datejust was housed in a 24mm case, fitted with the screwdown crown and Oyster case Rolex is known for. Since 1957, the Lady-Datejust has taken on myriad forms, from ultra-utilitarian stainless steel, to luxurious pavé.
Arguably the most lavish and decadent iteration of the LadyDatejust, the present reference 69159 features a pavé diamond dial, a round brilliant diamond-set bezel, diamond-set lugs, and a diamond-set bracelet referred to by collectors as the “Octopussy” because of its design, mimicking the tentacles and suction cups of an octopus. Each and every link is factory set with round-cut diamonds placed on either side of the centrallyset baguette-cut diamonds.
Recently serviced by Rolex, the watch is not only accompanied by a service card, but a beautiful Rolex scarf and a periodcorrect Rolex oversized motif presentation box and accessories.

The present lot is an exquisite example of Rolex’s most prestigious Day-Date—the “Octopussy”—a name coined by collectors for Rolex’s most lavish version of the President bracelet. These exclusive bracelets featured one large diamond or precious stone on every single link. Round brilliant-cut diamonds on each outer link were set in unusual cylindrical settings, flanking a center link with a baguette-cut precious stone. The cylindrically set diamonds rise prominently above the links, resembling the suction cups of an Octopus’s tentacles, giving rise to its charming nickname.
Furthermore, the bezel and lugs are set with round brilliant diamonds, and the hour indexes are diamonds as well. The dial features a most unusual Rolex motif dial, known as the “Jubilee” which was introduced in 1985 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Datejust, and used in various references for a few years afterwards.
The original Taiwanese punched guarantee papers accompany the watch, as well as a lovely suite of accessories including a silk handkerchief. Having recently returned from a service at the manufacturer, the present watch is in tip-top shape and in beautiful original condition, as well as under warranty until 2027.

Tool watches of the mid-20th century are some of the most collectible and sought after timepieces today. Launched in 1955, Rolex developed the dual time zone GMT-Master in conjunction with Pan American airways so their personnel could tell both “local” and “home” time while traveling. Today, the GMT-Master is still one of the most sought after Rolex timepieces and has remained in its collection line since its inception. The GMTMaster II was launched in 1983 with mechanical upgrades including allowing the hour hand to be set independently of the 24 hour hand.
In the 1980s, Rolex began to experiment with gem-set timepieces, adding diamonds, rubies, and sapphires to some of their most exceptional watches including the Cosmograph Daytona and the GMT-Master. The addition of these gems lead to the SARU collection, which derived its name from the “SA” in sapphires, and “RU” in rubies.
The present reference 126755SARU is a wonderful, bedazzled iteration of the famed GMT-Master II. Dating from 2022, the watch has the look of the original model, but is enhanced with gemstones taking the watch to a new level of luxury. The original red and blue “Pepsi” bezel is elevated by sapphire, rubies, and diamonds . Luxuriously fitted with a pavé diamond dial, it is an exquisite example presented in excellent condition and offered with its full suite of accessories.

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.

Accessories

Accompanied by Cartier certificate, instruction manual, additional straps, Cartier presentation box, and outer packaging.
Among Cartier’s most daring creations, the Baignoire Allongée distills the maison’s fascination with elongation and proportion into a watch that is at once sculptural and impossibly refined. First introduced in the late 1960s as the boldest interpretation of the Baignoire—a form originally conceived in the 1910s and later favored by icons such as Jeanne Toussaint and Catherine Deneuve—the Allongée reimagined Cartier’s oval “bathtub” silhouette with heightened theatricality. At nearly 47mm in length, its elliptical case envelops the wrist with the presence of a jewel, dissolving the boundaries between timepiece and objet d’art.
The present reference 2515, crafted in warm 18K pink gold, exemplifies this audacious design. Its profile, scarcely more than 7mm thick, lends an extraordinary delicacy to the elongated form, drawing the eye toward the guilloché dial where painted Roman numerals appear to stretch and bend in rhythm with the case. The composition is completed by blued steel sword hands—a visual signature of Cartier’s enduring aesthetic vocabulary.
At the flank, the crown is adorned with a sapphire cabochon, a discreet yet unmistakable code of the maison, while within beats a hand-wound caliber, underscoring Cartier’s choice of traditional horology to animate a work of avant-garde design.
Presented here in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set, the watch represents an enticing opportunity for collectors seeking not only a quintessential example of Cartier’s design daring, but also a timepiece of enduring elegance and rarity.

Few designs in horology can claim the timelessness and purity of line embodied by the Cartier Tank Cintrée. If the Tank Louis Cartier is the archetype of Parisian refinement, the Cintrée is its poetic counterpart: daringly slim, unmistakably sculptural, and universally regarded as the most elegant of all Cartier wristwatches.
Commissioned by a prominent Cartier collector, the present “NSO” or “New Special Order” Tank Cintrée in yellow gold is a masterpiece of design, speaking to the classicism of Cartier’s style combined with the personal taste of its client. The yellowgold case retains the Cintrée’s signature curvature and elongated silhouette, but it is the dial that elevates this example to a work of art. Entirely engine-turned, its surface reveals a delicate flower motif radiating from the center, a flourish that catches light with extraordinary depth. Surrounding it, elongated navy-blue Roman numerals evoke the distinctive typography of Cartier London from the 1960s and 1970s—tall, slender, and slightly whimsical.
Cartier’s London branch was historically the most experimental of the maison’s ateliers, responsible for the Crash, the asymmetric Tank, and numerous bespoke dials for society’s elite. This Londoninspired Cintrée channels that same spirit of individuality, yet rendered with modern precision and hand-finished grace.
Presented in a most probably unique configuration and preserved in pristine condition, this Cintrée is not merely a reinterpretation of a classic—it is a reaffirmation of Cartier’s unrivaled ability to balance proportion, artistry, and emotion within the confines of a single, curved rectangle. A true connoisseur’s piece, it stands as a testament to the enduring magic of the Tank Cintrée and the maison’s unbroken lineage of elegance and innovation.

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1957 and its subsequent sale on June 4th, 1958.
While coin watches are not as researched today compared to milestone Patek Philippe timepieces like the brand’s historic line of perpetual calendar chronograph watches, they provide a fascinating insight into the history of horology. These ultra-slim timepieces were constructed from legal tender, requiring two coins to be split to form their outer case, and a watch housed inside with a separate, hinged case. It is believed Cartier began to produce these uniquely styled timepieces in 1929, however there is archival evidence suggesting the earliest known examples date to the late 19th century. Patek Philippe is amongst many brands which created these lovely creations, and it is believed their production ran from the 1920s until the 1980s.
Patek Philippe produced several variants using different coins and monetary values over seven decades, with a range of reference numbers. Research indicates only approximately 200 of these fine watches were ever produced, including the reference numbers 800 through 809, with monetary values of $5USD (ref. 800), $10USD (ref 801), $20USD (ref 802 & 803) like the present reference 803, 100CHF (ref. 804), 50 Pesos (ref. 805), along with others. The most common reference was 802, but very few were made overall.
An interesting and rare novelty timepiece, the present $20USD coin watch is fitted with a lovely tone-on-tone champagne dial with black Breguet painted numerals, and dates to 1957.

Over time, and particularly in the past four decades, collectors began to focus on collecting wristwatches, often to the exclusion of the pocket watches that had so dominated watch collecting until then. Yet one look at this skeletonized reference 894 should be enough to assure enthusiasts that there is a place for collecting pocket watches in the current market.
Introduced in 1978, the reference 894 was one of the first serially produced skeletonized pocket watches created by Patek Philippe, though skeletonized examples can be seen since the manufacture’s beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century. The reference 894 remained in production from 1978 until 2006.
Exceptional in every way, its movement’s bridges were crafted in 14 karat yellow gold. All were then fully chased and engraved by hand—every area of the movement that could be cut away was removed. Each reference 894 is therefore in some ways unique, having been embellished individually, and over time, the level of elaborate decoration evolved.

First released in 1956, the Day-Date was the first wristwatch ever to display the day of the week fully spelled out along with the date. It was revolutionary for the era providing the wearer with an elegant and practical timepiece. Today, the model is an icon and while the day wheel of the present watch is English, the Day-Date has long been offered with a choice of 26 different languages.
The present Day-Date from circa 1984 falls into one of the rarest categories of the model. The reference 18039 was first introduced by Rolex in 1978 and upgraded from the famed and much-loved reference 1803. In addition to a sapphire crystal, the timepiece houses the upgraded automatic caliber 3055 with quick-set calendar. Encased in white gold, the present example features a rare “wood” dial, which is more often found on yellow gold cases, making this a very rare variant of the model.
The present 18K white gold model with charismatic wood dial is offered with its original guarantee and presentation box.

In celebration of the Daytona’s 25th anniversary, in 1988, Rolex released the first self-winding chronograph model in their history, the reference 16520. This milestone timepiece has become a collectors’ favorite, with the earliest “R” series examples like the present watch particularly sought after.
As opposed to later white dial 16520s featuring a more matte appearance, these early examples have a highly lacquered, glossy surface—a coveted, so-called “porcelain” dial. The black graphics were printed on top of the dial, giving them a threedimensional effect, and the “Cosmograph” text set eccentrically apart from the first four lines of text as if it’s floating in the center of the dial. The reference was the first Daytona to be fitted with a sapphire crystal, and with a larger case diameter measuring 40 millimeters. Earliest examples were also fitted with bezels calibrated to 200 units per hour. Later examples would have a bezel calibrated to 400 units.
This exceptional “R-series” reference 16520 is amongst the most cherished of all automatic Daytona models. Preserved in excellent, most certainly unpolished condition with sharp factory finishes preserved throughout, it is accompanied by its original Rolex guarantee with correct country code 204, Rolex hang tag, and presentation box. This is a rare opportunity to own an early, well preserved, and complete iconic Daytona wristwatch.

Standing at the forefront of Russian watchmaking, Konstantin Chaykin is the first to become part of the Academy of Independent Watchmakers (AHCI) and claimed his debut Audacity award with his “Clown” creation at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in 2018. Offering a completely new genre in haute horlogerie, Konstantin Chaykin’s invention dares to release the jack-in-the-box to a whole new level. Provocative, unpredictable and extraordinary, these are certainly emotions that get conjured for the present timepiece, the Clown II Audacity. Part of the Wristmons Monsters collection, the model pays homage to the first “Audacity” award for the Russian inventor.
Most recognizable for its signature dancing-pupils indicating the hour and minutes and the peculiar grin under the big red nose that displays a moon phase cleverly disguised as the tongue of the entertainer. Painted with a decoration of white guilloché spiralling out from the center, the moon phase can be advanced with the pusher sitting adjacent to the crown. Produced in stainless steel with a 42m diameter case, the clown is dressed in a flamboyant costume in blue and red with yellow stitching as its strap.
Though the production of this watch was limited to only 88 pieces, the present watch is set apart as it is designated “Not For Sale”, indicating it was likely given to friends of the brand. That also could explain the lack of guarantee card and box.
To collectors who are not afraid to be different, this is an innovative and disruptive statement timepiece.

The Breguet-style numerals, delicate pomme hands, and italicized script are a nod to the old school of horology, while the 44mm diameter, skeletonized lugs, and impeccably engineered in-house automatic caliber DB2024 are a testament to the innovation and free-spirited nature of De Bethune creations.
This example is presented in overall excellent condition, complete with its Certificate of Origin dated January 2020.


BERKUS A unique and avant-garde, handmade stainless steel regulator tourbillon wristwatch with titanium cage and Grand Feu enamel dials
Manufacturer Ondřej Berkus, Czech Republic/Czechia

Accompanied by copy of Czech Watches magazine featuring the watch on the cover and presentation box.

The conception of Ondřej Berkus’s “Minion” tourbillon came from a simple concept—the universe was created with a “Big Bang” so why bother doing simple things? He doesn’t think of himself as a watchmaker—in fact, he believes that any trained monkey—including himself in that category—could make a watch. Following the edicts set forth in George Daniels’ Watchmaking, Berkus, who studied law for his undergraduate studies and feels most at home working with his horses, he set forth to make watches that commanded his interest.
Berkus was the first person in the Czech Republic to make a tourbillon wristwatch. A long-time goal of his, he first started making watches around 2011, and had been obsessed with watches since a young age. Berkus doesn’t even have a website or any sort of marketing presence, he is reliant entirely upon Instagram to sell watches and meet collectors.
In 2021, Berkus created his first Minion wristwatch with a onesecond remontoire and two regulator dials made of Grand Feu enamel. Knowing his desire to make a tourbillon, coupled with being enamored by the design of the first Minion, the Minion 2 (the present watch) echoed many of the same elements as the first, but this time incorporating a tourbillon in a titanium cage. Purchased by a collector in the United States, it is consigned here as the first Ondřej Berkus watch ever to be offered at auction.
Berkus is booked “many lifetimes” in advance, and works on commission only—he once attempted to make a limited series of watches, and decided it was not for him. For most, this will be the only opportunity to purchase one of Berkus’s creations. The watch is accompanied by a magazine where the Minion 2 is featured on the cover, and a presentation box.

Under the guidance of Peter Baumberger, Urban Jürgensen & Sønner has become a modern watchmaker sought for their commitment to technical excellence, traditional aesthetics, and handmade master craftsmanship. Originally founded in 1773 by Danish clockmaker Jürgen Jürgensen and continued with his son Urban who travelled Europe studying with famed masters Breguet, Berthoud, Houriet, and Arnold before taking over the family business in 1811 following his father’s death. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Jürgensen timepieces, Baumberger, along with Derek Pratt and Kari Voutilainen, all 20th century masters, reinvigorated the brand in the 1990s with highly sought after contemporary timepieces featuring a classic design and style, which is immediately identifiable to the discerning eye.
The Reference 8 perfectly captures the Urban Jürgensen philosophy of watchmaking. The present limited edition watch from 2006 and encased in stainless steel is highlighted by the recognizable teardrop lugs and convex bezel. The 37mm diameter case reflects their attention to detail and traditional watchmaking with handmade guilloché dial with Roman numerals. This prestigious example, is number one of 50 examples and offered with both a certificate of origin and certificate of authenticity signed by Kari Voutilainen. The watch is well preserved and reflects a bygone era and is a testament to the excellence of independent watchmaking.

The technical creativity of De Bethune seems boundless, Denis Flageollet—the brand’s co-founder and master watchmaker— spent decades restoring pieces made by the great masters of the 18th and 19th centuries and he used his abyssal knowledge of historical watchmaking to invent 21st century watches like no other, in his words “the tradition of watchmaking is innovation”.
Instantly recognizable by connoisseurs due to their distinctive design and appeal, De Bethune enjoys widespread interest from collectors all around the world trying to get their hands on these rare timepieces. While the firm has released numerous models over the years since its founding in 2002, one model certainly stands out among the rest as being the model that best interpretates the brand’s vision and aesthetics, the DB28.

Only 15 pieces were made, and of those, it is confirmed that only two of the numbered pieces were fitted with Western Arabic numerals. The remainder of the series features Eastern Arabic numerals, as befitting a limited edition made for a Middle Eastern retailer.
Noted in both the original description of the watch when sold through Perpétuel, the unique complication of the Anywhere, tracking the sunrise and sunset times of the home city, is particularly relevant and useful to the Muslim community, where during the month of Ramadan, adherents are required to fast during the hours between sunrise and sunset.
Accompanied by all of its original accessories, the consignor also graciously added a Krayon puzzle as an additional gift to the winning bidder. The watch is in excellent condition and offered complete with all its original accessories.
Please note that Krayon will offer the winning bidder a complimentary adjustment of the sunrise/sunset city for this Anywhere.

Accompanied by Richard Mille Certificate of Authenticity dated January 2024, service booklets, large folio, presentation box, and outer packaging.

Richard Mille has long cultivated close ties with the world of elite sport, from Rafael Nadal to Bubba Watson. Among the brand’s most distinctive creations are those developed for Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake. At the London 2012 Olympic Games, Blake memorably wore a Richard Mille tourbillon during the finals of both the 100- and 200-meter sprints, securing silver medals behind compatriot Usain Bolt. In the 200-meter final, his time of 19.44 seconds was the fastest ever recorded by a runner not to win the race—an extraordinary testament to his performance. To celebrate this partnership, Mille unveiled the RM59-01 in 2013, an asymmetrical tourbillon adorned with the vivid green and yellow of the Jamaican flag. Nicknamed “The Beast” after Blake’s iconic gesture, it would later be succeeded by the RM61-01 “Beast 2.”
The present RM61-01 continues the theme of athletic dynamism while incorporating advanced materials. Its case is constructed from TZP black ceramic—comprising zirconium oxide with yttrium as a stabilizing agent—resulting in a structure that is remarkably light yet highly resistant to wear. The caseband is crafted from NTPT carbon, a layered composite compressed and cured under heat and pressure, recognizable by its distinctive wood-grain pattern. Retaining the bold asymmetrical form inspired by Blake’s explosive stride, the watch is further enlivened by flying bridges accented in Jamaican colors, framing a skeletonized movement visible through the dial.
Offered complete and in excellent overall condition, this example encapsulates Richard Mille’s unique ability to merge technical audacity, cutting-edge materials, and high-octane sporting partnerships into a watch that is both instantly recognizable and eminently collectible.

Accompanied by a Cartier Certificate dated July 28, 2007, red leather fitted presentation box, wooden Cartier box with loupe, polish cloth, suede travel pouch, leather envelope, product literature, and outer packaging.
One of the most emblematic and classic watch cases of the early 20th century is the Tortue. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1912, the rounded tonneau-shaped case was elegant and sophisticated and named “tortue à pattes” or “turtle on legs” both for its similarity to the animal’s shape and symbolism of good fortune and longevity. Cartier has long used the case since its introduction, and in 1998 they introduced their Cartier Privée Paris Collection (CPCP) Tortue Monopoussoir chronograph. The collection sought to bring modern watches to collectors who wanted a vintage look. Available from 1998 until 2008, the collection was based on their legendary designs that have made the brand so famous and sought after amongst collectors.
The first monopoussoir, or monopusher, chronograph was released by Cartier in 1928 and the modern edition remains close to the original, but with a larger, more contemporary case featuring the manual caliber 045MC, interestingly it was designed by F. P. Journe, and co-developed with Denis Flageollet and Vianney Halter. The case has a classic look with the single button chronograph operated through the crown giving the watch a clean, uncluttered appeal.
The present watch is a well preserved in excellent overall condition and complete with its original certificate and presentation box. This is an opportunity for aficionados of Cartier and early 20th century design to own and wear a modern example of one of the brand’s most iconic models.

In 2000, Vacheron Constantin introduced the Malte collection to mark the new millennium and symbolize a new chapter in the brand’s heritage. Among the collection, the Malte Tourbillon stands out as a remarkable timepiece. The present example ref. 30066/2 crafted in noble platinum is exceptionally wellpreserved and played a pivotal role in the brand’s evolution and adaptation to the new millennium.
Though most were made with a guilloché sunburst silvered dial and exposed tourbillon, rare examples, such as the present watch, featured a fully skeletonized dial and movement, finely hand-engraved. The watch furthermore incorporates a date display and power reserve indicator for practicality. However, the highlight of the watch is undoubtedly the large and mesmerizing tourbillon, showcasing the iconic Maltese cross, surrounded by the delicate and elegant hand skeletonization.
Preserved in excellent overall condition, this Malte Skeleton Tourbillon also comes with a blank guarantee card and presentation box.

F.P. JOURNE A mechanically complex and highly desirable limited edition stainless steel tourbillon wristwatch with power reserve indication and constant force remontoire, numbered 22 of a limited edition of 38 pieces

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 is an exercise in equilibrium and restraint. Its rich, bronze-toned surface anchors each indication with clarity, while the one-second remontoir d’égalité aligns vertically with the hours and minutes—symbolically placing the mechanism of constant force at the very heart of timekeeping. Through two generous apertures, the viewer is invited to observe the kinetic ballet within: the tourbillon, the remontoir, and the fine perlage finishing that only Journe could render with such excellence.

Accompanied by F.P. Journe service receipt dated to October 2025.
Numbered 22/38, and freshly serviced by F.P. Journe, the present watch offers connoisseurs a chance to possess a timepiece that bridges the maison’s genesis with its modern mastery. Notably, Phillips is honored to present the Chronomètre à Résonance from the same steel set in the next lot, Lot 70. Together, they encapsulate two of F.P. Journe’s most emblematic achievements. Anecdotally, the Number 22 set was the final steel set available at the NY boutique, purchased by a collector in 2018. The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity and the tailor-made F.P. Journe wooden presentation box (Lot 71), designed to house all five watches of the set, will be gifted should the same discerning collector acquire both lots—a fitting tribute to the unity of this historic collection.



F.P. JOURNE An impressive and highly desirable limited-edition stainless-steel dual-time chronometer wristwatch with small seconds, double escapement, and power reserve indication, numbered 22 of a limited edition of 38 pieces
With a relentless pursuit of technical innovation in the service of chronometric precision, F.P. Journe has consistently sought to create timepieces that marry aesthetic elegance with mechanical ingenuity. Among his oeuvre, two creations stand as emblematic of his philosophy: the Tourbillon Souverain and, most notably, the Chronomètre à Résonance.
The latter represents Journe’s most daring horological challenge. Inspired by the pioneering work of Antide Janvier in the 18th century, and further influenced by Abraham-Louis Breguet, Journe achieved a world first by creating a wristwatch equipped with two closely positioned resonating escapements. These escapements, interacting with one another’s dissipating energy, beat in harmony, thereby enhancing overall accuracy and reducing variations in rate. In Journe’s hands, the phenomenon of resonance was not a theoretical pursuit, but a practical solution for superior timekeeping.
Offered here is one of only 38 examples of the Chronomètre à Résonance crafted in stainless steel as part of the exclusive limited-edition box set comprising five of the manufacture’s most emblematic models. Notably, these were the final Journe watches to be produced in the classic 38mm case size, discontinued in 2015. While the design recalls the earliest generation (2000–2009), it is distinguished by its exceptionally rare stainless steel case as well as the usage of navy colored texts.

The dial is beautifully symmetrical, featuring twin 12-hour registers with subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock, surrouding a reverse power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock—a nod to marine chronometers, measuring hours elapsed since winding rather than hours remaining. The movement within, the solid rose gold calibre 1499.3, remains identical to that found in Journe’s standard production pieces, underscoring the manufacture’s uncompromising standards.
Numbered 22 of 38, the present watch is preserved in excellent condition, its stainless steel case lending it an unusual character that sets it apart in the F.P. Journe canon. A true horological milestone, the Résonance remains a testament to F.P. Journe’s mastery of both concept and execution, transforming an elusive natural phenomenon into a reliable wristwatch complication.
Please note that the Certificate of this watch is included with the sale of the box, which is Lot 71.

Accompanied by Rolex guarantee card dated March 2nd, 1964 indicating its purchase at the Marine Corps Exchange in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, numbered Rolex hang tag with reference and serial number, and fitted Rolex presentation box.
This early and wonderful Submariner reference 5513 from 1962— the first year of 5513 production—exhibits all the subtle nuances passionate collectors seek in a highly desirable vintage Rolex. In production until 1989, the 5513 differs from its close relative, the chronometer-certified 5512.
Though the watch itself dates to 1962, its sale at the beginning of 1964 and the corresponding date code for the first quarter of 1964 on the bracelet makes perfect sense considering it was sold at the U.S. Marine Corps Exchange in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred between 16-28 October of 1962 (an 892’XXX means that the 5513 was likely produced in the last few months of 1962). Though family members were allowed back to the base in December 1962, it makes sense that due to the ups and downs of the Cold War and the fallout from the Cuban Missile Crisis, there were much reduced non-essential military activities during this time period.
The watch is preserved in utterly fantastic condition. Beautiful golden puffy luminous plots, nearly flawless “Swiss Only” gloss dial with gilt lettering, and a probably unpolished case with ultrarare pointed crown guards. The combination of the exceptional state of preservation, original guarantee, hang tag, and box (including the insert urging the purchaser of the watch to use the box for cigarettes), and the historical context of its purchase make it a must-have for the vintage Rolex collector.

Originally introduced to the market in 1947, the celebrated Cosmic model was Omega’s first watch featuring a full calendar combined with moon phases. It was mainly available in 14K or 18K yellow gold, and less often in pink gold, fitted with various dial configurations.
Offered in extremely appealing condition, the present example illustrates the evolution of the model over time. This example from the 1950s features a highly elaborate square construction with fancy lugs. From the 1950s to the 1970s, watchmaking design does indeed focus on much more elaborate and geometric case constructions. The trend will eventually fizzle out in the 1980s with the return of the more conventional round case style.
The present Cosmic has an extremely well-preserved dial, accented by black date and day windows, which are in Spanish, consistent with the country of delivery. The Omega Heritage Department has confirmed the present watch in their archives as being delivered on August 14th, 1952 to Venezuela. A stunning example of a 1950s classic, this reference 3944 is an exceptional choice for the vintage enthusiast.

The present watch is prominently illustrated in Marco Richon’s Omega: A Journey Through Time, page 543.
Confirmed by the Omega Heritage team to be delivered to France on October 20th, 1959, the present Omega chronograph wristwatch bearing the much lauded manuallywound 321 caliber is housed in a French-made case produced by Maison Brandt Frères. Similar watches with non-Swiss made cases appear sporadically throughout auction records, as movements were exported to local markets, where the watch was completed.
The dial is the stunning cherry on the top of this delectable, slightly oversized pink gold chronograph wristwatch. It is impeccably preserved for the era, despite the lack of a waterproof case, with alternating mirrored and grené sections of the dial, overlaid with perfectly crisp applications of multicolored scales.
The case is equally stunning, preserved in excellent condition, with thick almost sporty lugs and large rectangular pushers, and comes from the collection of an important American collector.

After the Scafograf 100 and the Scafograf 200 came the logical succession of the Scafograf 300. The number after the model name indicates the number of watches produced for each of those series, making any Scafograf extremely rare.
After the introduction of the Scafograf 100 in the late 1950s, Eberhard realized that to compete with the dive watches of Rolex, Omega, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, they had to incorporate a rotating bezel to use as a countdown timer for diving. The Scafograf 200 arrived shortly thereafter with an upsized 39mm case. Further developments were made in the Scafograf 300, most significantly a larger, 42mm case and an asymmetric date window.
Drawing heavy design cues from the Omega Seamaster, the Scafograf 300 features a case made by Huguenin Frères and twisted lyre-shaped lugs. The ladder bracelet also closely resembles that of early Omega. The whimsical and bold layout of the dial, however, reflects that of the earlier Scafografs, with oversized triangle and dot indexes, an oversized arrow-shaped hour marker, roulette date wheel, and gilt surrounds for the indexes and date window.
A stunningly well-preserved example, it is further set apart with the accompaniment of its original guarantee paper dating to 1966 and fitted presentation box. Hardly ever seen offered for sale, at auction or otherwise, this horological rare gem comes from the collection of an important American collector.

The Atomic Age, an era in world history spanning from the detonation of the first nuclear weapon in 1945, and leading until the mid-1980s, coincided with the Cold War and was defined by a global arms race to create more effective and potent forms of nuclear power.
These scientific wristwatches included the Rolex Milgauss, the Omega Railmaster, and the Patek Philippe Amagnetic reference 3417, all of which emerged beginning the late 1950s. They were characterized by the combination of anti-magnetic resistance, up to 1,000 gauss, and being waterproof. Following on their heels, Eberhard & Co took cues from these celebrated brands and created their own scientific wristwatch, the Scientigraf—with limited success and consequently, few examples made.
With an inner soft-iron movement cover, automatic caliber, and waterproof, screw-down caseback, the Scientigraf echoed the characteristics of its predecessors while incorporating the stylistic flair of Eberhard. The large, luminous arrow hour hand, lollipop seconds hand bold black dial with luminous 3-6-9 Explorer-style dial, and caseback engraving of an “E” shooting off forks of lightning set the Scientigraf.
With remnants of its original caseback sticker present, crisp engravings, strong and bold chamfers, and a beautifully preserved movement, this Scientigraf has endured the rise and fall of the Atomic Age with grace, retaining even its original presentation box.



A possibly unique, fresh-to-market, and exceptionally rare stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with green Khanjar logo and bracelet
The “Khanjar” is the national emblem of Oman featuring 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, and presented as gifts to his closest dignitaries and officials. Khanjar logos come in a variety of colors and positioning on the dial, but the green Khanjar is amongst the rarest.
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 two other Daytonas, both reference 6263s in stainless steel with silver dials and “Green Khanjar” emblems, have appeared at auction, the last of which sold here at Phillips New York in December 2024.
The present reference 6265 in stainless steel is the only known black dial example featuring both the Green Khanjar displayed within the 12-hour subsidiary register at 6 o’clock and a “Big Red” Daytona logo at 6 o’clock, rendering it possibly unique. Furthermore it is absolutely fresh-to-the-market, consigned by the son of the original owner. In his words:

of the original owner in his full uniform during his days as a pilot in the Dubai royal flight crew. The cap insignia and four-bar epaulettes indicate his status as a senior pilot or captain.

PDF provenance summary from the son of the original owner with photographs.
This Rolex Daytona “Khanjar” was gifted to my father in the 1970s by the royal family of Dubai in appreciation of his service as their personal pilot.
My father was a career officer and pilot in the United States Air Force. After retiring from the military, he worked in the Middle East initially for Iran Air and later became a trusted member of the Dubai royal family’s flight crew. He primarily flew Boeing 707 aircraft and frequently piloted international flights to Europe for the royal family’s travel and shopping trips.
As a gesture of gratitude and respect, the family presented him with this Rolex—one of the rare “Khanjar dial” Daytonas specially commissioned by the Sultanate of Oman for gifts of state. He later gave the watch to me when it was new, and I wore it during my medical school years. It has remained in my possession ever since.
My father passed away a few years ago, and this watch stands as a unique and personal legacy of his extraordinary career and the deep trust placed in him by a Gulf royal household.

IWC’s “Portugieser” wristwatch draws its name from the country of origin of the two men who originally commissioned the oversized model. It was in the late 1930s when Messrs. Rodrigues and Antonio Teixera, Lisbon wholesalers, approached IWC with a request for a large sized man’s wristwatch with the precision of a marine chronometer. The original reference 325 wristwatches were delivered in 1939 but were not a commercial success. The market was not yet ready for a large 42mm timepiece with a pocket watch movement. Sales were so low it was no longer featured in the IWC catalogue starting in 1945. However, similar to other twists of horological fate, Kurt Klaus the legendary IWC watchmaker known for some of their best-in-class complicated movements, recounted that in the early 1990s, a client wearing the original “Portugieser” was at the atelier, and the brand team was so taken with the model they chose it as a Jubilee timepiece for their 125th anniversary in 1993. Since that time, the Portugieser collection has become highly desirable, and collectable known for their precision timing and oversized cases.
The Portugieser Chronograph reference IW3714 is one of the most iconic and desirable timepieces from IWC. First introduced in 1998, the chronograph is appreciated for its modern 41mm diameter case, and balanced dial with vertical subsidiary dials at 12 and 6 o’clock. Preserved in excellent condition, it is being offered directly from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola purchased the present watch as he was enamored by its design inspired by aviation.

Patek Philippe’s reference 96 is the archetypal “Calatrava” wristwatch. The model, manufactured from 1932 until 1973, was inspired by the Bauhaus aesthetic canon of “form follows function,” resulting in a timeless purity and harmony of case lines, still echoed today in the firm’s designs. Since its inception, the “Calatrava” model has been at the forefront of Patek Philippe’s offerings.
It has evolved over the decades to meet changing tastes and cultural attitudes, yet remaining simultaneously classic and modern. The reference 3919 was introduced in 1985 and remained in production until 2006 with models in yellow, pink and white gold like the present model. The sleek, understated, and slim case is distinguished by the “Clous de Paris”, hobnail pattern bezel.
This fresh-to-the-market reference 3919 features a white lacquered dial with printed Roman numerals and “Swiss” designation at 6 o’clock. Preserved in excellent condition, it is being offered directly from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola purchased the present watch due to its elegant, timeless design and mechanical excellence.

Released in 2006, the Patek Philippe reference 5130 World Time is the second modern iteration of the famous timepiece. Being the successor of the reference 5110, the new model featured essentially the same caliber but a larger case size at 39.5mm in diameter, compared to 37mm for its previous model. The guilloché dial offered a different patten to the engine turned finish seen in the reference 5110. The model pays tribute to historically important Patek Philippe timepieces like the reference 605HU from the 1930s.
The World Time was initially developed by Louis Cottier in 1935, who engineered a system of inner rotating discs indicating 24 cities covering all major time zones. Fast forward to modern times, the mechanism remains largely unchanged due to its simple practicality and ease of use. The present Patek Philippe reference 5130 in white gold is offered in very good overall condition.
From the collection of Francis Ford Coppola, the present watch was admired by him for its global timekeeping capability and was invaluable for his world traveling.

While the first automatic minute-repeating timepiece was crafted by A.L. Breguet in 1805, the first automatic minuterepeating wristwatch is a more nebulous affair. IWC introduced their Grande Complication in 1990, featuring an automatic movement with grande and petite sonnerie, whilst Patek Philippe debuted the reference 3979 a year before, in 1989. Blancpain, however, at the beginning of its renaissance under the stewardship of Jean-Claude Biver, introduced the caliber 35 in 1988.
In the early 1990s, these caliber 35 movements were mostly fitted into yellow gold or platinum 34mm cases. An updated version, like the present example, was introduced in the early 2000s as a dressier version of the Léman collection, the Villeret. Retaining the same basic design codes as the 90s iteration, the 2000s Villeret automatic minute repeater was instead housed in a 37.5mm case in white gold.
Preserved in excellent condition, the present minute-repeating Blancpain bears the prestigious movement number 01 and is being offered directly from the collection of Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola purchased the present watch due to Blancpain’s reputation for innovation of chimes in wrist watches.

Patek Philippe ceased production of their famed chronographs in the 1960s when they discontinued the iconic water-resistant reference 1463 two-register chronograph. They would not produce another chronograph wristwatch until 1998, when they launched the reference 5070 in a large 42mm diameter case, housing a Lemania-based movement significantly modified and finished by Patek Philippe. In 2010, Patek Philippe would enter a new chapter in its history, releasing the all-new reference 5170 chronograph that housed their first fully in-house simple chronograph movement—the caliber 29-535. Reduced in size compared with the reference 5070, the new chronograph with its 39.5 mm case diameter had more svelte proportions, making it the perfect watch for the office, board meeting, or casual weekend wear. Initially, it was produced in both yellow and white gold, with various dial and case configurations. In 2017, they released a wonderfully sublime platinum-cased variant, like the present example, fitted with a blue “fume” dial set with baguette diamond hour markers.
Preserved in like-new condition and offered by the original owner, this rare model was in production from 2017 until 2019, when the reference was discontinued. The present watch has a wonderfully modern aesthetic, and the blue degradé dial is expertly done with color gradation and a sunburst texture. The diamond hour markers add a tasteful, luxurious touch to the watch, however when juxtaposed against the blue of the dial, they subtly meld into the dial to create a stunning aesthetic.

Rarely has a timepiece been something and its opposite yet the present pink gold Nautilus reference 5711 manages to be both flamboyant and classically restrained. It is intriguing how Patek Philippe has succeeded in achieving a balance between opulence, technicality, and elegance.
The Patek Philippe Nautilus doesn’t need an introduction. The Genta-designed icon has become one of the world’s most coveted and recognizable timepieces with its porthole inspired case and integrated bracelet. Launched in 2006 in celebration of the Nautilus’s 30th-anniversary, reference 5711 paid tribute to the original reference 3700, keeping the original “jumbo” 42.5mm case size but with the addition of a central seconds hand and exhibition caseback. The pink gold version was presented in 2015 as the first “Jumbo” offered in this precious metal, and was very well received by collectors. Its desirability is fully understandable considering the beauty of a warm pink gold case framing a degradé chocolate brown dial.
The rarity and desirability of the present lot is elevated by what is found on the dial at 6 o’clock: the prestigious and elusive ‘Tiffany & Co.’ signature. The enduring partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. has resulted in some of the most coveted timepieces of the modern era. To the present day, Tiffany & Co. remains the only retailer that is still allowed to stamp their logo on the dial of Patek Philippe watches.
The present reference 5711/1R is extremely well-preserved and dates to 2020. It is further accompanied by its full complement of original accessories, including its blue Tiffany & Co. outer packaging.

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.
Offered in its factory single-seal, the present 5575G is offered with all of its original accessories, and was sold in 2015 at the Tiffany & Co. salon in New York City.

In 1994, Omega launched its first ever central tourbillon to mark the 100th anniversary of the brand—the world’s first automatic wristwatch with central tourbillon regulator. With the flying tourbillon and escapement right in the center of the dial and a platinum rotor, it was unlike any watch the manufacture had ever launched before. The crown itself was only used to wind the movement. A second crown is located on the case back to set the hands, and the movement is only able to be removed from the front of the case. It is further accented with a guilloché main dial and mystery-style handset extending out from the tourbillon cage.
As a tribute to the first Omega Tourbillon (see lot 101 for an example of an original Omega tourbillon wristwatch, cased in 1987), the movement of the Central Tourbillon also measures 30mm in diameter. Numbered 6, these early De Ville Central Tourbillons were most probably made in a very small series, reserved exclusively for Omega’s very best clients. Exceptionally well preserved with hardly any signs of being worn, it comes complete with its Certificate of Authenticity signed by Michele Sofisti, who was at one time the President and CEO of Omega.

Literature
The present watch is described in George Daniels’, “The Art of Breguet”, page 182.
A pioneer of the field active between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century in Paris, Breguet invented or perfected many of the technologies employed today in watchmaking.
The cylinder escapement was not invented by Breguet, but he did much to improve on the English cylinder escapement that was unreliable due to its size and shape. Breguet improved the design by changing its shape to avoid shocks and improve access to lubrication. Daniels states that “[a]s developed by Breguet the ruby cylinder cannot sensibly be improved upon.”
No. 731 was first sold on 9 May 1801 to a Monsieur Sara for 912 francs. It was then bought back on 8 September 1801 and resold to a Monsieur Slade to be delivered to a Monsieur Botton on 21 October 1801. The case number 4404 was made by Amy Gros, as seen by the case maker’s hallmark on the interior of the case.
Number 731 is exceptionally well-preserved given it is over two centuries old, an important and well documented timepiece likely created by the hand of the greatest watchmaker who ever lived.

Accompanied by guilloché brass stand and Breguet Certificate of Authenticity confirming production of the watch in 1995 and its sale on September 5th, 1997.
In the early 1990s, six sets of six automatic pocket watches were produced by Breguet, each with a guilloché dial, sapphire display case back, and a pendulum automatic movement with platinum hammer-shaped rotor. Complications such as jump hour display, equation of time, and thermometer—among others—were incorporated, along with the present world-time pocket watch.
Breguet was managed by Bahrain-based financial company Investcorp in the late 1980s and early 1990s, overseeing the acquisition of Nouvelle Lémania. During this period, they employed watchmaker Michel Parmigiani to create pieces, such as an ultra-thin perpetual movement and automatic pocket watch caliber. The latter, caliber 570, would be integrated into the present timepiece.
The famed “Souscription” sets of the same time period also incorporate this automatic movement; however, the present watch was not made to be paired with a wristwatch. It is a masterful display of the best of Breguet with the delicate engineturned dial, a beautifully finished movement visible through a sapphire caseback, and accompanied by a heavy and ornate brass stand.
Consigned by an important collector of independent timepieces, the present watch furthermore comes with a Certificate from the Archives of Breguet, detailing its production in 1995, right before Parmigiani set off to create his eponymous brand.

Launched in 1972, Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak was the world’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch with a fully integrated bracelet. The model became an icon, and the brand soon expanded the Royal Oak collection with the first perpetual calendar model released opening day of the Basel Fair in 1984. The tourbillon, a specialty of Audemars Piguet, first graced the Royal Oak in 1997 to celebrate the model’s 25th anniversary. The classic architecture of the tourbillon cage features bridges at the front, but today, the latest evolution is revealed with an automatic flying tourbillon movement. The remarkable caliber 2950 is the first to combine a self-winding mechanism with a flying tourbillon architecture, a complication previously seen in the Royal Oak Concept line. The first Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon was introduced in 2020.
The present Flying Tourbillon Royal Oak is a highly attractive example with light weight Titanium case and sublime modern sandblasted slate grey dial, which has replaced the typical Grande Tapisserie pattern. The watch has a sleek contemporary sporty feel making it an extremely wearable timepiece. Audemars Piguet is coveted by collectors for their craftsmanship and attention to detail, and the present watch embodies the standard of excellence of the brand.
The watch is offered in virtually like-new condition complete with its original accessories and is an opportunity to own a superb example of one of the most iconic watches in the market today.

The Chronomètre Optimum was first conceived as an idea in 2001; however, the first example was not released until 2012. A showcase of watchmaking excellence and innovation, it adopts concepts from other Journe models: the double barrel layout of the Chronomètre Souverain, and the remontoir d’égalité system and hairspring with Breguet overcoil of his tourbillon wristwatch. The Optimum is to be considered Journe’s “ultimate” technical essay on precision, reuniting the most efficient chronometer solutions from previous models, and then adding to them a new escapement of Journe’s design.
The solid 18K pink gold movement features indeed Journe’s patented ‘BHP’—Bi-axial Hi Performance—escapement. Inspired by works of Abraham-Louis Breguet, this natural escapement employs two escapement wheels (thus, Bi-axial) rather than the usual single one. This solution, coupled with special design geometries, allows for the escapement to function without lubrication and ensures more reliability overall and reduced wear and tear. The remontoir d’égalité system, escape wheels, and pallet fork are made from lightweight titanium further enabling greater timekeeping precision. An additional dead-beat seconds indicator, connected to the remontoir, is displayed on the backside of the movement.
Preserved in like new condition with all original accessories, the present Chronomètre Optimum in platinum with white gold dial measures 42mm and dates to 2015.

Accompanied by De Bethune Certificate of Origin and Warranty dated April 2014, product literature, loupe, leather travel box, presentation box, and outer packaging.
First introduced in 2013, just over a decade after De Bethune’s founding, the DB16 stands as one of the manufacture’s most complex and conceptually significant creations. It embodies the duality at the heart of De Bethune’s philosophy—the classical restraint and symmetry of the dial balanced against the avantgarde, architectural dynamism of the movement.
The 43mm rose-gold case retains a timeless, harmonious profile, distinguished by De Bethune’s signature traits: a flawlessly polished finish and solid lugs terminating in elegant, ogival tips. In later and more experimental designs, these lugs would evolve into hollowed and articulated forms, yet the instantly recognizable silhouette first seen here remained a defining feature of the marque.
The dial is a study in balance and refinement. At 12 o’clock lies De Bethune’s signature three-dimensional spherical moonphase, framed by a constellation of applied stars. Mirroring it at 6 o’clock is a raised date sub-dial with a blue-indexed chapter ring. The day and month are displayed through discreet rectangular apertures at 9 and 3 o’clock, while a sunburst-engraved central field radiates from the moon-phase, enlivening the composition with a subtle play of light that enhances its classical symmetry.
For collectors drawn to the world of independent watchmaking, the DB16 represents an excellence in design, complexity, and rarity. At its debut, it stood among the most technically accomplished creations of its era, yet remains comparatively at the apex even today given its complexity and pedigree. Presented in excellent condition and complete with all accessories, the present example is both a statement of connoisseurship and a gateway into the very essence of De Bethune’s visionary watchmaking.

Accompanied by blank MB&F international warranty booklet, product literature, leather wallet, additional fitted presentation box in the form of a thrust lever, and outer packaging. Further accompanied by MB&F service certificate dated November 2024 and MB&F “The Minimilians” 3D-printed figurine.
For the free thinker, the irreverent, and the bold, MB&F’s Horological Machine 4 embraces the unexpected. Introduced in 2010, it has drawn collectors and enthusiasts for over a decade with its powerful and inspired design as well as its technical prowess.
The design of the Horological Machine 4 is directly inspired by the fuselage of the P47-Thunderbolt fighter plane. The movement took three full years to develop and is ingeniously placed on a horizontal plane. Dual mainspring barrels drive two vertical gear trains, transferring power to the dial indicating hours and minutes on the right and power reserve on the left.
Made in only 50 pieces in titanium, the case is quite light for enhanced wearing comfort, and regardless of its unusual ergonomics, the watch sits very well on the wrist and could even be considered the perfect pilots’ watch.
The present HM4, numbered 13, comes directly from the collection of an important collector of independent watches. In well-preserved condition, the watch comes complete with all its original accessories.



PHILIPPE DUFOUR An exceptionally rare, historically important, and fresh-to-market white gold wristwatch with double escapement, Certificate of Origin, fitted presentation box, marketing folio, and movement renderings, numbered 01
Introduced in 1996, the Duality was Philippe Dufour’s second wristwatch—and, like his groundbreaking Grande & Petite Sonnerie, it was another world first. It was the first wristwatch ever constructed with a double escapement: two independent balance wheels regulated through a central differential. The name, Duality, could not be more apt.
The ingenious mechanism enables each balance—both freespring with hairsprings with Breguet overcoils—to compensate for the other’s variations, effectively averaging out their errors. Should one run fractionally faster and the other slower, their rates harmonize, producing exceptional stability and consistency across all orientations—a pursuit that lies at the very heart of Dufour’s lifelong devotion to precision.
Dufour drew inspiration from a school pocket watch with twin balances featured in the Time Museum’s catalogue— coincidentally made by students of the same Vallée de Joux watchmaking school from which he himself graduated. Determined to translate this academic concept into a practical wristwatch, Dufour undertook an extraordinary feat of miniaturization. Having already reduced the Grande & Petite Sonnerie to wristwatch scale, he next succeeded in shrinking the differential mechanism into one scarcely larger than a matchhead.



PHILIPPE DUFOUR
An exceptionally rare, historically important, and fresh-to-market white gold wristwatch with double escapement, Certificate of Origin, fitted presentation box, marketing folio, and movement renderings, numbered 01


Although Dufour intended to produce 25 examples, the sheer complexity of crafting, assembling, and regulating each movement proved far more difficult than a tourbillon. Moreover, the market of the 1990s had yet to appreciate the significance of such a creation. Ultimately, only ten Duality wristwatches were made, with the tenth one being previously unknown to the market and a scholarship-changing example, brought to market by Phillips in November 2024.
The Duality’s impact reverberated far beyond Dufour’s atelier. Its 1996 debut directly inspired François-Paul Journe to revisit his own experiment in resonating escapements—a concept he would bring to fruition four years later with the first Chronomètre à Résonance wristwatch. In this sense, the Duality not only advanced mechanical chronometry but also catalyzed an entire generation of independent watchmaking.

Accompanied by Philippe Dufour marketing folio with original Duality press kit, International Wristwatch 2000 magazine featuring Duality article, original renderings of the Duality movement, certificate of origin dated 1999, and wooden presentation box.
The present example, number 01, is preserved in exceptional condition and is one of only two known Duality watches crafted in white gold. Phillips previously had the honor of offering another white gold example, number 03, which achieved a result of $2,056,500 in New York in June 2024. Consigned by an important collector who purchased it from the meticulous original owner, in addition to its certificate and wooden presentation box, it comes accompanied with hardly ever seen paperwork including the original press kit and movement renderings.
The appearance of the present lot—previously unseen and newly surfaced—marks not merely a continuation of that distinguished legacy, but a moment of genuine importance in the evolving scholarship of Philippe Dufour and, indeed, in the broader history of modern mechanical watchmaking. Without any doubt, it is a true trophy watch worthy of crowning a collection of the world’s finest timepieces.



PHILIPPE DUFOUR An early, highly coveted, and extremely rare and fresh-to-market pink gold 37MM wristwatch with subsidiary seconds, Certificate of Origin, fitted presentation box, marketing folio, and photograph, numbered 01
There is an unmistakable sense of reverence whenever a timepiece by Philippe Dufour appears on the market. Dufour personifies the archetype of the Swiss master watchmaker— solitary, precise, and deeply rooted in the traditions of the Vallée de Joux—yet his legacy extends far beyond this romantic image. A custodian of craft and a passionate advocate for métiers d’art, Dufour has dedicated his career to preserving techniques that many feared lost. Each of his creations is executed entirely by hand, embodying an ethos of patience, perfection, and authenticity that has made him a living legend in modern horology.
Introduced in 2000, the Simplicity was conceived as a tribute to the golden age of Swiss watchmaking—an era when precision and beauty were inextricably linked. Every component of the movement is hand-finished to Dufour’s exacting standards, from the mirror-polished anglage to the elegantly shaped bridge profiles. Originally launched in a 34mm case, the Simplicity was later expanded to 37mm to meet collector demand, prompting Dufour to redesign the movement to preserve its perfect proportions.

Accompanied by Philippe Dufour marketing folio with original Duality press kit, photograph of Simplicity, signed postcard from Philippe Dufour, certificate of origin, and wooden presentation box.
Produced in platinum, pink gold, and white gold with either white lacquer or hand-guilloché dials, the Simplicity was initially envisioned as a series of 100. Yet such was its acclaim that production ultimately extended to 200 examples, with approximately 205 watches completed before discontinuation. Two decades later, in 2020, Dufour marked the watch’s 20th anniversary with a final run of 20 pieces, distinguished by hinged casebacks and bespoke dials—a fitting tribute to a modern icon of independent horology.
The present Simplicity No. 01, housed in a 37mm pink-gold case with white lacquer dial, is of extraordinary significance. As the very first 37mm example ever produced, it represents the genesis of Dufour’s larger-case evolution—a model that redefined contemporary appreciation for artisanal finishing and classical proportion. Its movement, bearing serial number 01, serves as a physical manifestation of Dufour’s philosophy: every bevel, bridge, and jewel aligned in harmony, executed by his own hand and eye.
Offered alongside the Duality No. 01 in Lot 94, it is consigned by an important collector who purchased it from the same, meticulous original owner complete with its original accessories and original press kit. This fresh-to-market Simplicity offers connoisseurs a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional timepiece with the extraordinary serial number of 01 that distills the very essence of independent haute horlogerie.



F.P. JOURNE
An exceptional and early platinum souscription flyback chronograph wristwatch with brass movement and shiny pink gold dial


Only in production from 2001 to 2008, F.P. Journe’s Octa Chronographe is one of the most inventive and attractive chronograph wristwatches to be produced in the modern era. Numbered 19, the present Octa Chronographe is part of the Souscription series—offered to and purchased by the owner of the number 19 Tourbillon Souscription.
An adversary of modular complication, 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. The Octa Chronograph was the first automatic flyback chronometer chronograph with oversized date window.
The Octa Chronographe impresses on many technical elements. An integrated chronograph, the groundbreaking caliber 1300 measures 30mm in diameter, with a slender 5.5mm thickness with the chronograph mechanism adding just 1mm! To achieve this, the habitual column wheel was replaced by a cam wheel that instead actions the chronograph levers. A single sliding lever returns the chronograph seconds and minutes to zero by disengaging the brakes at the precise moment when it hits the specially profiled reset elements.

F.P. JOURNE An exceptional and ethereal limited edition dual-time chronometer wristwatch with black mother-of-pearl dial, double escapement, certificate of authenticity, and presentation box, made in a series of 10 pieces for Sincere Fine Watches

The present 40mm Chonomètre à Résonance rendered in 18K pink gold may look at first glance like a coveted “Boutique Edition”—but it’s actually far more rare. Aside from the fact that the boutique exclusive combination of black dial and pink gold case was not produced until 2010, if you tilt the watch a few degrees towards a light source, the wearer is instantly delighted by an array of iridescent colorations, varying in depth. Instead of a mere black dial, the dial is in fact crafted from a thin slice of natural black mother-of-pearl.
F.P. JOURNE
Chronomètre à Résonance “Sincere Fine Watches”

Found on the interior of mollusk shells, it is prized for its beauty but venerated for its strength; its molecular structure resembles plate armor. Historically it has been used to adorn a variety of decorative objects that also endure significant use, such as weaponry, cutlery, and tablewear, amongst other things. Black mother-of-pearl, also known as Tahitian mother-of-pearl, is more costly and rare than its white counterpart, occurring once for every ten thousand natural white mother of pearl shells.
The limited series made for the 50th anniversary of the historic Singaporean retailer Sincere Fine watches included, in 18K pink gold, 10 Chronomètre à Résonance (RN), 5 Tourbillon Souverain (TN), 10 Calendrier (Q), and 5 Octa Divine (D). Rarely seen publicly in any of the models, the black mother-of-pearl almost disappears until the light hits the dial at just the right angle and it’s as if the sun has set and the sky is awash in oranges, pinks, blues, and purples. It holds the duality of subtlety and flair.

The GMT-Master has a long-standing history in watches made for aviation. As a brand known for its innovative and pioneering spirit, Rolex introduced the GMT-Master in 1955, designed to fit the needs of airline pilots, ship captains, business travelers, and members of the armed forces. Fitted with a bi-directional rotating bezel with 24-hour markings, the GMT-Master could simultaneously tell the time in two places, making it a perfect tool as the world entered the age of intercontinental travel.
In 1959, Rolex released an updated version of the GMT-Master with a more robust design—the reference 1675 with a metallic bezel insert and crown guards. Up until 1966, the model was produced with a glossy black dial.
The present, all original example features the highly desirable glossy/gilt dial variant. The dial is beautifully preserved, retaining its glossy surface with luminous hour markers and hands that have aged to a warm yellowish hue. The case is in our opinion unpolished, with its original factory finishing and bevels intact. The “Pepsi” bezel has an attractive patina due to aging and maintains all its vintage charm, robustness, and reliability. The GMT-Master is truly a timepiece that stands the test of time and a perfect companion for any occasion.



OMEGA A historically important and extremely rare yellow gold tourbillon wristwatch with certificate and presentation box, one of seven observatory chronometer tourbillons cased in 1987
In 1947, Omega created twelve Calibre 30 I tourbillon movements of only 30mm in diameter to compete in the “wristwatch” category of the Geneva, Neuchatel and Kew-Teddington Observatory trials. In these movements, the tourbillons had a rotation rate of 7.5 minutes as opposed to the more familiar 60 seconds.
In these trials, manufacturers would submit one or several specially prepared movements for competition. Interestingly, these watches were never meant for sale, the purpose of these trials being not only competition but also a testing ground for research on chronometry and of course a marketing and communication tool for the manufacturer in selling their “regular production” watches.
Prior to being allowed to compete, entrants were tested, and those meeting the rigorous standards were eligible for actual competition. The watches were tested in 5 positions and 3 temperatures (4°C, 20°C and 30°C) for a period of 40 to 44 days. Each movement was graded on a performance scale and awarded a certificate with the final score and rating.
It is important to note that these movements did not have a particularly fine aesthetic finish but were technically the best of the best: the surfaces of pinions and wheels were highly polished with exceptionally even tolerances, springs were pre-tested and hand chosen and the dimensions of shafts and bearings perfectly executed. They were hand built and hand-adjusted by brands’ best watchmakers—the equivalent of Formula One racecars in motorsport.
Out of twelve examples of the Calibre 30 I, only 7 examples participated in several trails between 1947, 1950 and in 1952.
The project was leaded by Mr. J-P Matthey Claudet, watchmaker at Omega, and the movements were entirely hand made. Mr. Marcel Vuilleumier, director of the Horological School in the Vallée de Joux, was the master watchmaker that designed the Tourbillon caliber.

In 1987, it’s believed seven of these twelve movements were discovered by Omega, which refurbished, then cased in either 18K gold (3 known examples) or sterling silver (2 known examples) livery and offered to a select group of VIP collectors. Preserved in outstanding condition, with its incredible rarity of one of only three known cased in 18 karat yellow gold. It is an exceptional opportunity for the connoisseur.

The Daytona reference 16520 is among Rolex’s most important historic models. Housing a modified Zenith-based caliber 4030, the model was fitted with the first automatic chronograph movement in the firm’s history. At the time of its launch in 1988, the watch garnered an immediate waiting list at Rolex retailers. As it often happens with Rolex timepieces, one can notice a subtle but welldefined evolution of the dial design in the early years of the model.
The earliest specimens—such as the present watch—feature five lines of script at 12, but the fifth line, “Cosmograph”, is noticeably more spaced from the 4th line, compared to the spacing between all the other lines. This gives the impression of the word Cosmograph floating away from the rest, thus its nickname “Floating Cosmograph” (or “Staccato”, as it is known to Italian collectors). Given its status as the earliest iteration of the dial and its supreme scarcity, this configuration is considered one of the most collectable versions of the Zenith Daytona.
Elevating the importance of the present watch is an even rarer detail—the coveted Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial below the floating “Cosmograph”. The details of any “Tiffany & Co.” font are particular and depend on the age of the timepiece; for the R series, the serifs of the “T” almost touch the “i” and the serifs are extra pronounced in the “C” of “Co”.
In addition, the watch is preserved in outstanding condition with its original factory caseback sticker still intact. To augment the rarity of the Tiffany & Co. stamp on the dial, this R serial 16520 is accompanied by its original Tiffany & Co. stamped Rolex guarantee paper, and Tiffany outer box.



103. ROLEX A fresh-to-market, exceptionally well-preserved, and rare stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with triple calendar and bracelet


From 1947 until 1962, Rolex produced a series of rare and innovative triple calendar chronograph wristwatches housed in Oyster cases, encompassing the references 4767, 5036, 6036 and 6236. The reference 4768 also bore a triple calendar chronograph complication, however in a non-Oyster case. Produced in very limited numbers, these references were made in yellow and pink gold, as well as stainless steel. Initially known as the Dato-Compax, today they are more generally referred to as the “Jean-Claude Killy”, named after the three-time French Olympic ski champion and Rolex ambassador. After production of reference 6236 ceased around 1962, Rolex would never again offer a model with similar complications.

Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives of Patek Philippe confirming production of the present watch in 1938 and its subsequent sale on January 18th, 1939.
Powered by the brand’s exquisitely refined version of the Valjoux 13 movement and housed in a case distinguished by its gracefully elongated lugs and slender bezel, the 130 became an enduring archetype of mid-century chronograph design. Produced for nearly three decades—until approximately 1964— the model was offered in yellow gold, pink gold, and stainless steel, with a total production of roughly 1,500 examples across all metals.
What truly elevates this example beyond its peers is its exquisite two-tone sector dial, one of the most prized and graphically balanced configurations found on the 130. The dial displays concentric silver and champagne rings, their delicate contrast enhanced by engraved and enameled scales that define Patek Philippe’s pre-war artistry. The tachymeter and minute tracks are beautifully rendered in raised, hard enamel, while the long “Patek Philippe & Co Genève” signature, abandoned by the late 1940s, lends an additional layer of vintage charm and historical significance.
Originally appearing at auction in 1998, it was purchased by the current consignor who has never worn it since its acquisition. Preserved in excellent, original condition and fitted on a period correct calf-skin strap, the present ref. 130 embodies the purity and elegance that define Patek Philippe’s golden age of chronograph production, coming from the collection of an esteemed American collector.

PATEK PHILIPPE An exceptional, fresh-to-market, and very rare stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with Breguet numerals and Certificate of Origin
Phillips is honored to offer this exceptional and fresh-tothe-market Patek Philippe stainless steel chronograph wristwatch from the family of the original owner. Patek Philippe is known for some of the most iconic timepieces of all time, from the famed 96, the first referenced wristwatch released in 1932, to its historic mid-20th century references 1518 and 2499 perpetual calendar chronograph watches with moon phases, and even the legendary reference 1463, the classic chronograph wristwatch with waterproof case and round pushers. Launched in 1940 and remaining in production until 1965, the 1463 was mainly offered in yellow gold, with fewer examples in stainless steel, and even fewer in pink gold.
The concept of a “sports watch” is well-known today, but 80 years ago, it was a novel idea with elegant and gentlemanly timepieces worn by businessmen and captains of industry displaying their social status. There was a growing appreciation in late 1930s polite society for sports and outdoor adventures, and watch manufacturers sought to fulfill a demand for more durable timepieces that could withstand rigorous use. The reference 1463 was designed for such active clientele as the sportier alternative to the less robust reference 130 chronograph. The legendary model is one of the most sought after and collectible vintage chronograph wristwatches due to its water-resistant case, modern proportions, and prominent chronograph pushers. The model has grown in desirability as a vintage horological icon that was ahead of its time.

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 failure 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 until 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.
The present watch depicts the flower “Epidendrum Ibaguense”, sometimes called the crucifix orchid or fiery reed orchid. These flowers come in an array of colors, though Patek Philippe chose to use the red variant. The Latin name comes from the city of Ibagué in Colombia, where the species was first observed and catalogued.
The present watch is accompanied by its numbered hang tag, individual Certificate of Origin, and Patek Philippe presentation boxes.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus, introduced in 1976, emerged as a game-changer in luxury sports watches. Designed by the legendary Gerald Genta, the Nautilus was characterized by its distinctive porthole-inspired case, integrated bracelet, and a blend of sporty yet refined aesthetics. It quickly gained iconic status and became synonymous with Patek Philippe’s commitment to timeless design and technical excellence. In 2009, Patek Philippe extended the Nautilus legacy with the introduction of the 7118 Nautilus model tailored specifically for women. This marked a significant expansion in the Nautilus collection, as it catered to the evolving preferences of female watch enthusiasts.
Featuring the self-winding caliber 324 with center seconds, the reference 7118 retained the signature design elements of the Nautilus while presenting a more petite and elegant profile, tastefully embellished with diamonds and a restrained anthracite grey “wave” dial. Today, the reference 7118 has become one of the most desirable sports watches for ladies. The present example is in near new condition with all of its original accessories.

Introduced in 2011, Patek Philippe’s lady’s World Time is an elegant and functional timepiece demonstrating the growing popularity of complicated women’s wristwatches. The world time complication is one of the most useful today, and with its guilloché dial and diamond-set bezel, the reference 7130 is a contemporary piece well suited for the modern female traveller.
Following the design of the references 5230 and 5110 world time watches and using the same famed automatic 240 HU caliber, the reference 7130 combines the gentle curves and bold elegance of the classic Calatrava case with Louis Cottier’s ingenious world time invention, as well as a beautiful olive green guilloché center disc. An absolute classic, it boasts a 24-hour dial divided into daylight and nighttime hours, with the names of cities and islands in each time zone around the edge of the dial. A pusher on the top left side of the case advances the location disc, allowing the wearer to set a “home” time zone while simultaneously viewing the time in any of the other cities.
The reference 7130R-014 is still offered by Patek Philippe along with the blue guilloché white gold version, and the present pink gold example is preserved in excellent, hardly ever worn condition and complete with its accessories. It is a complicated watch that exudes a subtle charm and sophistication for the globetrotting connoisseur.

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 they produced and the last chronograph to use a modified, Lemania 2310-based ébauche.
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. Despite the large size of the case, the slim profile and downturned lugs give the watch a comfortable presence on the wrist.
Coming from the collection of an important private collector, this reference 5070G is fresh to the auction market, preserved in outstanding condition and accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin, presentation boxes, and product literature.

Introduced in 2010 the reference 5160 represents a contemporary interpretation of Patek Philippe’s rich heritage, in particular drawing inspiration from its predecessors—the references 5159 and 5059.
Retaining the “Officier” style case of the previous models and reminiscent of early 20th-century timepieces with hinged casebacks, the reference 5160 elevates the design with exquisitely hand-engraved arabesque motifs reminiscent of the Belle Époque era. Patek Philippe’s “Rare Handcrafts” collection is as much about the mechanics, as it is about the art of design. Individual models focus on enamel work, guilloché, wood marquetry and like the present watch intriguing engraving. The white gold “Rare Handcrafts” model was introduced in 2016 and discontinued in 2024. Today, the only model available through the brand is the pink gold version. The sophisticated craftsmanship required for the case, achievable by a select few skilled artisans, naturally results in extremely limited production of the model. Additionally, it features a distinctive detail not found in the yellow and pink gold versions: the grooves of the engravings are filled with oxidized silver powder, creating a striking, dark effect that enhances the contrast of the engraved elements.
Offered in excellent overall condition and with its complete suite of accessories, the watch is a true heritage timepiece and an homage to artistic craftsmanship and modern horology.

Not too small nor too large, the watch measures an elegant 36mm diameter and shares the aesthetics of the long lineage of perpetual calendar chronographs such as the reference 3970 and the iconic references 2499 and 1518. Yet, its stepped case is slightly thicker than its predecessors to accommodate the split-second complication, giving the watch a contemporary presence to the wrist.
Well-defined fluted lugs, crisp hallmarks, and the inclusion of its original certificate of origin and solid caseback, this superb 5004J sold in 2006 at Roberto Joyero, a Spanish authorized dealer of Patek Philippe is a top quality example of the reference for the connoisseur.

A similar example with diamond-set dial, movement number 54’613 is featured in Audemars Piguet: 125 ans d’audace, by G. Brunner, C. Pfeiffer-Belli, and Martin Wehrili, p. 196, 2000.
While Audemars Piguet today is best known for their iconic Royal Oak collection, one of the first luxury sports wristwatches first offered in 1972, the brand has long been at the forefront of mechanical and design innovation. Since its founding in 1875, Audemars Piguet has produced complicated pocket watches and wristwatches of the highest quality setting a standard for excellence in Swiss watchmaking. Their origins were set in boutique workshop structure with limited output, and the present platinum time only wristwatch is a wonderful example of their sublime mid-century wristwatches.

Omega’s manual-winding caliber 33.3 CHRO is an icon amongst collectors. First manufactured by Lemania, it was launched in 1933, originally as a monopusher chronograph within the ref. 710. By the late 1930s, Omega redesigned it and used the movement in some of their finest two pusher chronographs. As the predecessor to the caliber 320 and later, the 321, it is the ancestor of all Omega Speedmaster movements.
The present watch is an impressive, hardly-ever-seen example with an 18K yellow gold, fixed-lug case measuring an impressive 37.7mm—quite large for an era where 36mm was considered oversized. Faceted, downturned lugs contrast with oliveshaped pushers and a multi-tone, gilt multi-scale black dial. Extraordinarily rare, this large chronograph is a rare gem from the annals of Omega.

Originally launched in 1956, the Day-Date, with its famous “President” bracelet, was the first wristwatch to feature a date and fully spelled-out day of the week indication on its dial. The sporty elegance of the Day-Date is appealing to consumers around the world, due to its versatility, robustness, and elegance, enduring for over six decades as one of the most popular and sought after Rolex models. The reference 1806 was released in 1959 and stands out from other early iconic models like references 1803 and 1807 due to its sensual linen textured case playfully nicknamed “Morellis” finish.
The present Day-Date is a remarkable example with the black lacquered dial and wonderfully textured case and sumptuous, textured link bracelet. The deep gloss finish of the dial integrates with the gold case and bracelet giving the wristwatch a mid-20th century appeal. These rare watches have hand finished cases giving each a slightly different pattern and texture. The present model is well-preserved and a wonderful example of these rare Day-Date timepieces.

Rolex is the king of tool watches and while the names Submariner, Explorer and GMT-Master are icons in the world of horology, the “Oyster Perpetual” is one of the most important timepieces ever produced by any brand. First released at the turn of the 20th century, Rolex’s “Oyster Perpetual” was the first waterproof self-winding wristwatch.
The reference 6564 was in production for a relatively short period of time from 1954 to 1959 as a time-only, no date wristwatch and is a transitional model between the early bubble back watches of the 1940s and more modern examples from the 1960s. While Rolex was offering the Submariner and Explorer models during this period, a reference 6564 cased in prestigious, solid gold appealed to a wealthy civilian customer who wanted a simple yet sporty timepiece with chronometric accuracy.
The present “Oyster Perpetual” impresses with its spectacular original condition and lovely linen textured dial. Extremely rare in 18 karat pink gold and fitted with its original 18 karat pink gold bracelet, the present watch is a treasure of 1950s horology for the discerning collector.

In July 1975, as the Cold War entered its era of détente, NASA and the Soviet space program arranged a diplomatic encounter meant to soothe tensions between the two world powers. The final Apollo module, crewed by Thomas P. Stafford, Vance D, Brand, and Deke Slayton, docked with Soyuz 19, a spacecraft crewed by Soviet cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Valery Kubasov. They conducted joint experiments and the success set the stage for later joint missions in space.
As “the first watch worn on the moon”, Omega has always taken great pride in celebrating its space-related achievements. The Apollo-Soyuz is no different, inspiring a highly exclusive limited edition in 2000 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of a strategic moment of international diplomacy—with hardly any examples having ever appeared publicly. Former participants Stafford and Leonov signed the Certificate of Authenticity. This example is extraordinarily numbered 1 of 50 and presented in unworn, virtually “new old stock” condition, in an 18K yellow gold case and striking black dial. Offered with its full suite of accessories including a certificate of authenticity signed by astronauts Thomas P. Stafford and Alexei A. Leonov, it’s a highly sought after Speedmaster for the connoisseur.

A. Lange & Söhne shocked their clientele and industry spectators with the introduction of their first sports watch, the Odysseus, in 2019. First offered in stainless steel with integrated bracelet, an unprecedented material for the manufacture, it was followed a year later with the present white gold model fitted with a sporty rubber strap.
Beautifully finished, as would any timepiece leaving Lange’s workshop, a stellate embossing is applied to its minute chapter and subdial, creating a textured dial that plays coyly with light. Tastefully executed both inside and out, the sapphire caseback invites its wearer to appreciate the hand-polished cal. L155.1, which is as technically sound as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Accompanied by A. Lange & Söhne guarantee dated September 3rd, 2007, instruction manual, polishing cloth, and fitted presentation box.
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. 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 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 publicly. 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.

Cartier’s Privée Paris Collection (CPCP) sought to bring modern watches with a vintage flair to collectors. Available from 1998 until 2008, the collection gave the brand an opportunity to update and modernize some of their most cherished and iconic timepieces from the early part of the 20th century, including their “Tonneau” wristwatch, originally introduced in 1906.

Accompanied by additional Cartier crocodile strap, Cartier calfskin strap, and Cartier presentation box.
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 Cartier’s re-introduction of the Tank à Guichet earlier this year, the maison reaffirmed the enduring relevance of this daring design nearly a century after its debut. The 1997 anniversary edition serves as a bridge between past and present—honoring the radical spirit of the original while anticipating its modern revival. Produced in an exceptionally limited series and seldom seen at auction, the present example is notably the second ever manufactured. It stands as a testament not only to Cartier’s mastery of form and mechanics, but also to the maison’s enduring ability to reinvent an icon for successive generations of collectors.

In 1992 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak model, Audemars Piguet introduced the Royal Oak Offshore line. The brand sought to update the iconic Royal Oak with a sporty, more masculine aesthetic. The new Offshore featured a chronograph and calendar mechanism, along with a prominent rubber gasket sandwiched between the bezel and case, and therban—a type of rubber—coated chronograph pushers and screw down crown.
In 2004, Juan Pablo Montoya became a brand ambassador for Audemars Piguet with the launch of the highly coveted Royal Oak Offshore named after the famed Columbian Formula One racer. Produced in a limited series of 1000 examples in titanium, and like the present watch, 500 examples in pink gold, the 42mm diameter chronographs have a distinctive racing vibe from the eight cylinder screw heads to the carbon fiber inserts and clutch disk shaped rotor, and pedal like pushers. The typical Tapisserie dial motif has been modified to resemble the flow of the checkered flag waved at the finish line. Also, paying attention to detail, Audemars Piguet’s black strap takes its inspiration from the padded suits worn by F1 drivers.
Montoya has had a long and distinguished racing career competing at all levels of international racing and alongside Mario Andretti the only driver to win at Formula One, Indianapolis 500, and 24 Hours at Daytona. This Royal Oak Offshore is a tribute to his skills and excellence in motorsports.

Audemars Piguet developed and introduced for this perpetual calendar model the all-new self-winding cal. 5134 which is based on the famous extra slim cal.2120 found on the original Royal Oak A series. Furthermore, the new caliber offered an additional complication—a 52-week calendar indication.
The white lettering and indices, when contrasting against the brushed blued grand-tapisserie dial render the timepiece extremely legible. The stunning moon phase indication, with its photorealistic moon and starry sky, sits both symmetrically and comfortably at 6 o’clock.
The present watch is virtually brand new with intact factory protective stickers and offered complete with its full suite of accessories. The Royal Oak is an icon in the horological world and this modern interpretation with 41mm diameter case is sure to attract the most discerning collector.

His cutting edge designs are immediately recognizable, and are sophisticated, practical, and comfortable on the wrist. The movements are manufactured to be worn in extreme conditions using revolutionary materials.
Always pushing the limits of horological excellence, Richard Mille’s RM030 collection was released in 2011 with the introduction of their automatic caliber RMAR1 featuring a patented declutchable rotor, which was in development for over four years. On a standard self-winding movement, the watch winds through the movement of the wearer and when the watch is fully wound, a sliding flange engages in order to protect the movement from overwinding. The RM030’s winding barrel will disconnect from the winding mechanism when the watch is fully wound at 50 hours and reengages when the power reserve has fallen below 40 hours. This extraordinary technical achievement allows both the movement and the oscillator to maintain the best ratio of constant torque and power, resulting in optimal chronometric performance.
Fresh-to-the-market from the original owner this RM030 is a highly attractive model in both 18K pink gold and Titanium. The skeletonized dial is easily readable and has a winding indicator at 12 o’clock indicating winding phase (on) and disengaged (off). The watch is offered in excellent condition with its accessories. The RM030 is perfect for collectors who seek performance and precision timing in haute horlogerie.

Patek Philippe has long been at the forefront of innovative mechanical complications and in 1995 they introduced their first self-winding annual calendar, the reference 5035. The annual calendar requires a manual correction only once per year between February 28th or 29th and March 1st. Since that time, the annual calendar mechanism has been used across various collections from the brand from the elegant reference 5396 reflecting the iconic 3448, or the reference 5906, the sporty annual calendar chronograph wristwatch released in 2015.
The reference 4948 was released in 2015 as part of Patek Philippe’s Jaoillerie collection for women. Offered in both white gold and rose gold, the watch is an elegant, luxurious wristwatch with diamond-set bezel and shimmering white Balinese mother-of-pearl dial. The easily readable dial features a triple annual calendar with date window at 6’clock with moon phase, and subsidiary dials for day and month. The caliber 324S QA LU is fitted with Patek Philippe’s Gyromax system and Silinvar hairspring. According to the Certificate of Origin, the case is set with 388 diamonds for a total diamond count of 3.068 carats.
Preserved in virtually unworn condition, the present Patek Philippe annual calendar reference 4948G-010 is further accompanied by its full set of accessories. The reference is still offered by Patek Philippe, and this is a rare opportunity to own exceptional mechanical and gem-set timepiece.

Patek Philippe has wonderfully married the classic design of the Calatrava with innovative mechanisms offering a remarkable collection of contemporary watches perfectly suited for today’s travelers. Today categorized as “Travel Time” models, these timepieces include the annual calendar ref. 5326G, Calatrava Pilot ref. 5524R, flyback chronograph ref. 5924G, and the present ref. 5224R with 24-hour dial.
Released in 2023, the reference 5224R is a dual-time wristwatch with an unusual and historic 24-hour dial. Patek Philippe first used a 24-hour dial on their famed Chronomètre Gondolo pocket watches from the early 20th century. The new, bold design of the reference 5224 is both a vintage and modern reinvention of the “Travel Time” display. The watch is offered in a 42mm diameter case with stunning blue dial, and unlike earlier models with “night” and “day” indications, this dial is uncluttered and easy to read.

In 1996, Patek Philippe created the annual calendar as a simpler and more accessible alternative to the perpetual calendar. Patek Philippe, famed for mastering the perpetual calendar like no one else in the industry, came up with a novel concept: a calendar that would be nearly as useful as a perpetual calendar but would be simpler and most importantly, more accessible. They were granted a patent in 1996 for a calendar watch that required only one adjustment every year, during the transition from February to March, indicating that it was automatically identifying 30- and 31-day months—requiring just one adjustment per year, at the end of February.
The Patek Philippe 5396 annual calendar has been one of the most traditional and classical alternatives from Patek Philippe collection since its release in 2006. Offering a cleaner, more elegant and somewhat contemporary alternative to the more conservative annual calendar with subdials ref. 5146. Being released in a variation of silvery-white or grey dials (with appliques or Breguet numerals), Patek Philippe has opted to give this model a splash of color by pairing it with a pink gold case and a deep navy blue dial.
The dial is well-balanced, open, and clean. The indexes are facetted appliqués, termed “obus”, with a triangular tip. The minutes are also shown by gold dots, which is a Patek characteristic. With a beautifully proportioned diameter of 38.5mm, the Patek Philippe 5396R case is elegant yet modest. The present pink gold with blue dial variation is of immense charm and was in production for only two brief years: from 2017 to 2018. Preserved in excellent overall condition the present 5396R is certainly an opportunity to add a splash of color yet elegance to one’s collection.

Rolex’s Day-Date model is one of the most iconic and recognisable watches in the market today. First released in 1956 and still offered by the brand, the model was its most prestigious, beginning with the reference 6511, and was the first wristwatch to offer the date with day fully spelled out on the dial. Over the last seven decades, the model has retained its essential DNA, however it has evolved with more advanced calibers, case diameter modifications, addition of gems, or in the 1970s, the famed colorful “Stella” dials.
In 2008, Rolex introduced the reference 218235 Day-Date II model in a 41mm diameter case. The collection included examples in yellow gold, white gold, platinum and like the present watch, in Rolex’s proprietary Everose Gold.
The present watch is an exceptional example with a rich dark brown dial that complements the luxury feel of the Everose gold. The dial symmetry is in harmony with large Roman numerals making it easy to read the time, along with the day of the week and date in white sectors that are highly visible. The case is highlighted by the fluted bezel and Everose gold President’s bracelet. This example is offered by the original owner and is in excellent condition and accompanied by its accessories. The Day-Date is a wonderfully modern watch that can be worn by both men and women for any occasion.

Launched at Baselworld in 2018, the GMT-Master II in Everose gold was an instant success, and instantly a new icon. Hefty and eye-catching, it was a luxurious alternative to the stainless steel tool watch. At the time of launch, it was the first serially produced GMT-Master to be cased only in Everose. Everose gold was introduced by Rolex in 2005 and consists of an alloy of yellow gold, copper and platinum. Adding platinum in the gold combination allows the case to keep its pink tone indefinitely. Fitted with a black dial with Everose gold accents and a distinctive black and brown ceramic Cerachrom bezel, it evokes the charm of vintage “Root Beer” models while embracing modern aesthetics.
Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3285, the watch offers a 70-hour power reserve and exceptional precision, with dual time zone functionality ideal for frequent travelers. The GMT hand, paired with the 24-hour bezel, allows users to track a second time zone, while the date function is synchronized with local time.
The present model was sold in November 2023 and is offered by the original owner, preserved in excellent condition and with all its original accessories.

Ever since its introduction in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date has reigned as the brand’s ultimate statement of prestige, status, and innovation. Cased exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date has served as a canvas for Rolex’s most expressive designs, featuring an evolving array of dials set with semiprecious stones, lavish gem settings, and creative executions that blur the line between horology and haute joaillerie.
The present reference 18238 exemplifies the apex of Rolex’s luxurious offerings from the 1990s. Cased in 18K yellow gold and paired with the iconic President bracelet, it is distinguished by a dial of striking opulence: a warm champagne sunburst surface punctuated by baguette-cut rubies at the hour markers and encircled by a radiant minute ring of diamonds. This masterful composition reflects Rolex’s commitment to both technical excellence and ornamental artistry, a dazzling expression of Rolex’s gem-setting prowess.
A rare and exuberant variation of the Day-Date, this bejeweled reference is a quintessential example of Rolex’s “luxury proposition”—unapologetically extravagant yet timelessly elegant. For the discerning collector with an appreciation for opulence and craftsmanship, it represents an exceptional and precious find.

The most prestigious model in the Rolex catalogue since 1956, the Day-Date, also known as the “President’s” watch, garnered a loyal following with its remarkable canvas of dial configurations, case metals, and sizes. Originally offered with the iconic 36mm oyster case over five decades, Rolex launched the Day-Date II in 2008 with a 41mm in response to evolving tastes.
In 2015, Rolex further refined the size of this icon with a 1mm reduction, introducing the Day-Date 40. With a leaner profile compared it its predecessor, the model is offered in the following precious metals: yellow gold, white gold, pink gold, and the noble platinum. At the same time, Rolex also introduced a new movement at Basel World 2015, the caliber 3255 which innovates with its in-house Parachrom balance, reformulated lubricants, and the Rolex Chronergy escapement.
Offered in nearly new condition, the present example, dating to 2022, combines the gravitas of platinum with a dial configuration that has quickly become one of the most coveted in the contemporary catalogue: the sunburst olive-green dial, enhanced here by its factory-set baguette-cut diamond bezel. Surely a statement of timeless sophistication that balances modern luxury with horological gravitas.

The wristwatches produced during the rebirth of Urban Jürgensen as a brand in the 1980s and 1990s epitomize the marriage of old and new in a way that breathed fresh life into contemporary watchmaking. New owner Peter Baumberger, with his partner, the much-heralded English watchmaker Derek Pratt, set out to rebuild the brand, still committed to the original tenets of technical excellence, traditional aesthetics, and handmade master craftsmanship.
The reference 1140WG captures the spirit and philosophy of the brand with a quiet elegance and restrain that has a modern appeal. The spirit of traditional watchmaking is seen in the iconic silhouette with tear drop lugs in a contemporary 40mm diameter case. The exceptional P4 caliber with two mainspring barrels and 72 hour power reserve shines through the sapphire crystal back. Typically found with hand guilloché dials, the present example is a very rare example, numbered 8/20 from circa 2021, with a rich and luxurious salmon dial highlighted by Breguet numerals.
To the best of our knowledge, the series was initially intended to comprise 20 examples; however, only two were ultimately produced before the brand’s acquisition by the Rosenfield family, who appointed Kari Voutilainen as its new head in late 2021. This configuration was realized in just two pieces—the current watch, numbered 8, and its sibling, numbered 2, which Phillips had the privilege of offering in our Hong Kong Watch Auction: XXI. Presented in excellent overall condition and complete with its accessories, the present example stands as one of only two ever made in this exact specification.

The power reserve at 3 o’clock is inspired by naval chronometers, indicating the hours passed since winding and not the hours left.
Preserved in excellent condition, this Chronomètre Souverain is offered with its full suite of accessories and is a testament to precision chronometric timekeeping.

Founded in 1995 by watchmaker Felix Baumgartner and industrial designer Martin Frei, Urwerk’s watches are playfully futuristic, influenced by a passion for space travel and science fiction. Their first wristwatches were released in 1997 with the references UR 101 and 102 featuring a wandering hour time display. In 2019, Urwerk released the UR-100 collection, a novel line of spectacular timepieces that push the limits of futuristic timekeeping featuring their unique and innovative wandering hours complication.
The UR-100V is one of the most interesting and intriguing timepieces available today. The watch offers a unique perspective on time and space and follows the brand’s philosophy of reaching to the outer limits of the universe. The UR-100V not only tells time, but features an astronomical scale for allowing the wearer to measure the time it takes for sunlight to reach various planets. A rotating hand completes a full revolution every three hours pointing to a corresponding planet and the light-travel time.
This limited edition wristwatch is in “like new”, hardly ever worn condition, and is offered complete with warranty and presentation box. This rare Urwerk is a wonderful representation of the innovative work by the brand with an unconventional way to tell time that challenges the traditional norms of fine Swiss watchmaking.

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 production, reserved 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 collectors who appreciate the brand’s rich history with shapes, combined with a subtle, “if-youknow-you-know” element for added exclusivity.

During his tenure as CEO of Harry Winston Timepieces, Maximilian Büsser recognized the timing as ripe for a renaissance of independent watchmaking, conceiving the Opus project. In 2002, for the second collaboration, Büsser conscripted Antoine Preziuso, the Geneva-based master renowned for his bold sculptural tourbillons. The result, Opus 2, embodies both technical and aesthetic brilliance.
Crafted in platinum, beneath its crystal lies a mesmerizing landscape—a skeletonized one-minute tourbillon paired with a perpetual calendar displayed through a hinged caseback. A hinged caseback reveals the retrograde perpetual calendar, elegantly displaying the day, date, and leap year.
Only 23 examples were made: 11 Tourbillon with Perpetual Calendar (the present watch, number 10), 11 Tourbillon with 110-hour power reserve, and one diamond-set unique piece.
Originally delivered on a crocodile strap, the current owner sourced an original platinum Harry Winston bracelet—a rarity that harmonizes perfectly with the case. It is offered in excellent condition, complete with its original accessories.

Accompanied by Richard Mille warranty paper dated November 2008, glossy photographs, instruction paper, and movement detailed paper.
The slim RM016 represents a departure from Richard Mille’s typically over-engineered tonneau cases, showcasing a design that is as restrained as a Richard Mille can be. According to Mille, creating the RM016 was a challenging stylistic exercise, requiring the development of a rectangular shape while maintaining the brand’s signature design codes.
The open-worked bridges and baseplate are crafted from grade 5 titanium and include a variable geometry rotor. This winding rotor has two “wings” that can be adjusted to modify inertia, allowing the winding of the rotor to be tailored to the owner’s level of activity.
Accompanied by its original warranty paper, the present RM016 is an alternative choice in a landscape of blue dials and white metal cases.

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 Voutilainen’s 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 movement, heavily modified by Voutilainen, is breathtakingly beautiful and hand-finished 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.

The first-generation Chronomètre à Résonance, housed in a 38mm case with a brass movement, draws inspiration from the pioneering work of 18th-century master watchmaker
Antide Janvier. In 1983, François-Paul Journe set out to honor Janvier’s legacy by crafting a pocket watch that harnessed the resonance phenomenon. Sixteen years later, he introduced his now-iconic Chronomètre à Résonance wristwatch—the first of its kind to incorporate this remarkable principle.
At the heart of this groundbreaking timepiece lies a movement featuring two independent balance wheels, one acting as the “exciter” and the other as the “resonator.” When in motion, these balances synchronize through resonance, naturally counterbalancing each other’s deviations to enhance precision.
Produced between 2000 and 2005, the first-generation Chronomètre à Résonance (reference R), like the present example, featured a rhodium-plated brass movement within its 38mm case.
According to reliable sources, approximately 70–80% of the -02 Résonance production was cased in platinum, making examples in pink gold extremely scarce. Even rarer is the striking combination of a pink gold case with a white gold dial. Numbered 178-02R, it is fresh-to-the market and offered complete with all its original accessories.

Effective as of September 1, 2025
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.
2. 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. For those prospective bidders interested in Jewelry and/or Watches, please also see our Special Notices for Jewelry and Special Notices for Watches set out below in the Section titled Special Notices & Symbols in these Conditions of Sale.
(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) Absentee Bids:
(i) Bidders who wish to submit their bid early or who are unable to participate in the auction in real time, may submit their written absentee bid in advance of the Auction using the Auction location’s “Absentee Bid Form”. Note that for Watches Auctions, bidders must use the Absentee Bid form titled “Phillips in association with Bacs & Russo”. Both Absentee Bid Forms are available from Phillips via download at https://phillips.com and also available in our galleries. The Watches Absentee Bid Form is also available in the hard copy printed Watches catalogue.
Absentee Bids must be identified on the Absentee Bid Form in the currency of the sale. The bidder must clearly indicate the maximum amount they intend 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 hammer price and will take into account the Lot’s reserve and other bidders’ bids on the same Lot. In the event of identical bids amounts on a Lot, the earliest bid received by Phillips’ Bids Office will take precedence.
Phillips Bids Department at the Auction location must receive completed and signed Bid Forms indicating absentee bids not less than 24 hours prior to the start of the Auction (local time).
Bidders wanting to qualify for “Priority Bidding” must submit their written Absentee bids to Philips’ Bids Department in the Auction location not less than 48 hours prior to the start of the Auction (local time). Only successful bidders who have left qualifying “Priority Bids” and who meet the other conditions of Priority Bidding, will benefit from lower Priority Bid Buyer’s Premium rates. See paragraph 4(b)(ii) below for the terms and conditions required to be met to qualify for Priority Bidding. Note that Priority Bidding is not offered in Phillips’ Watches auctions.
(ii) Priority Bidding terms and conditions: A “Priority Bid” is a binding written Absentee Bid issued on an Absentee Bid Form for a Hammer Amount that is at or above the Lot’s published low estimate. The Absentee Bid Form must be received by Phillips’ Bids Department at the Auction location not less than 48 hours prior to the start of the Auction (local time).
A bidder who submits a qualifying Priority Bid on a Lot and subsequently wins that Lot at the amount of their Priority Bid (or at any higher amount from the same bidder’s subsequent bids through other Phillips bidding methods), will qualify as a “Priority Bid” and the successful bidder will benefit from the Priority Bid Buyer’s lower Premium rates referenced in paragraph 6(a) below, provided all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The completed and signed Absentee Bid Form is received by the Phillips’ Bid Department at the Auction location at least 48 hours prior to the Auction’s start time (local time);
(2) The Advance Bid on the Absentee Bid Form is equal to or greater than the Lot’s published low estimate;
(3) The bidder has not “opted out” of Priority Bidding on the Absentee Bid form;
(4) The successful bidder wins the Lot at their Priority Bid’s Hammer Price or, if at a higher Hammer Price, that they have placed their subsequent bids on a different paddle number for the same client account; and
(5) The successful bidder timely pays the Lot’s full Purchase Price by the payment date stated on the invoice.
Phillips has absolute discretion to determine if the conditions for Priority Bidding have been met and our decision will be final and binding.
All Absentee Bids timely received by Phillips’ Bids Department which meet the qualifying conditions for “Priority Bidding”, will be treated as Priority Bids. Note that Priority Bidding is not offered in Phillips’ Watches auctions.

Once submitted, Priority Bids cannot be withdrawn. Bidders wanting the option of withdrawing Absentee Bids before the Auction, must indicate this, by checking the “Opt Out” box in the Bid Form. If a bidder opts out of “Priority Bidding”, they will not benefit from the lower “Priority Bidding” Buyer’s Premium rates, even if they win the Lot and satisfy all the Priority Bidding conditions.
Bidders who have submitted qualifying Priority Bids may register a separate paddle on the same Lot using other bidding methods (e.g., via telephone, via online bidding, or in person), provided they register using the same name and Phillips account as they used when submitting their qualifying Priority Bid. If they continue to bid on the Lot and win the Lot at a hammer price above the amount of their qualifying Priority Bid, and provided they satisfy all of the Priority Bidding conditions referenced above, the beneficial Priority Bidder’s Buyer’s Premium rates will be applied to the total hammer price of the Lot (and not just the portion of the hammer price covered by their qualifying Priority Bid).
Any cancellation or removal of a Priority Bid, for any reason, or failure to satisfy the Priority Bidding conditions referenced in this paragraph, will invalidate a successful bidder’s entitlement right to the lower Priority Bidder’s Buyer’s Premium rates.
(iii) Telephone Bidding: Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the ‘Telephone Bid Form for the auction location which can be downloaded at https:// phillips.com and is also available in our galleries, 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.
(iv) Online Bidding: Bidders may participate in an auction by bidding online through Phillips’s online live bidding platform available on our website at www. phillips.com or on Phillips’ bidding app. 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.
(v) 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.
(vi) By registering and participating in the auction, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, bidders represent, warrant and confirm that (1) 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 (2) they will be paying the Purchase Price from their own funds (3) that their participation in the auction and payment of the Purchase Price is lawful and shall not breach any applicable sanctions
laws, and (4) 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.
(vii) 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.
(viii) 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, re-offer 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 benefit 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 Phillips, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales tax due (the ‘Purchase Price’).
The applicable buyer’s premium rate is the Standard Buyer’s Premium Rate unless the successful bidder has qualified for the Priority Buyer’s Premium Rate.
Up to and including $1,000,000;
plus, the portion of the Hammer Price above $1,000,000 and up to and including $6,000,000;
plus, the portion of the Hammer Price
*Only successful bidders who have satisfied all of the Priority Bidding conditions set forth in paragraph 4(b)(ii) above will benefit from the beneficial Priority Buyer’s Premium Rates set forth above. Note that Priority Bidding is not offered in Phillips’ Watches auctions.
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/Debit 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/debit 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/debit card may incur a surcharge added by the Buyer’s credit/debit card issuer. If a Buyer chooses to use their credit/debit 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/debit 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/debit 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/debit 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/debit 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/debit card issued to the company’s account and not under the Buyer’s personal account.
Phillips does not retain any credit/debit card information.
By making a payment via credit/debit 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.
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 (other than watch purchases) 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. For Watches collections, please see the section Special Notices for Watches in our “Special Notices & Symbols” section set out below in these Conditions of Sale.
(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. For Watch purchases, please see the section Special Notices for Watches in our “Special Notices & Symbols” section set out below in these Conditions of Sale.
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.

(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)

(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: Buyers intending to export their purchased Lot out of the United States of America may be subject to import duties and/or special tariffs charged by the customs authorities or other governmental agencies by the country of import. You are responsible for paying all such duties, tariffs and local taxes payable to export your Lot from its US location and those payable to import the Lot to its ultimate foreign destination. Bidders are advised to check with their local customs office in advance of bidding on any Lot in the Auction. Where known to us, Phillips will indicate in the Auction catalogue the country that a Lot was made, manufactured or originated. Please note, however, that any such indications are given by us only as a convenience to bidders. You agree that Phillips does not accept liability for any errors, including failing to indicate this information or indicating it correctly. Please also note that 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.).

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 standard 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 standard 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; (x) invalidate the application of the beneficial Priority Buyer’s Premium rate on the defaulting buyer’s purchase of Lots under Phillips’ Priority Bidding program and re-invoice those purchases and applying Phillips’ then applicable Standard Buyer’s Premium rates on any Lot(s) successfully bid upon; (xi) reject future “Priority Bids” from the defaulting buyer; and/or (xii) 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. Please also see our section Exportation of Watch Bands Incorporating Material from Regulated Species, set out below in our Special Notices for Watches section in these Conditions of Sale.
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.

(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 profit 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 fixed 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.
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.
