The Extract from the Archives, dated November 9, 2014, mentioned that this watch was sold on June 29, 1875. It seemed that Patek Philippe produced only 24 watches with long duration 8-day going movement of this type (No. 35 139 to No. 35 162). 21 of them were delivered to A. Erdélyi, Budapest (then Austro-Hungarian Empire), for the amount of 195 francs each. Their cases were engraved in taille-douce (fine cut) with coat-of-arms. One of the three remaining examples is kept in the Patek Museum, Geneva: - No. 35 150, manufactured in 1868 / 1869 and sold on September 6, 1875, to Mr. Poliakoff, engineer hydrograph of the Imperial Russian marine, for the amount of 280 francs. The deck-watches - fitted inside robust construction cases - are usually used at sea, on ships, to help navigators determine their longitude. This type of timepiece, as it is built, could also be intended to be used either for land expedition or by astronomers. . Bibliography Patek Philippe Museum, Patek Philippe Watches, vol. I, p. 66.

Accessories Extract from the Archives
In the 1930’s, Vacheron Constantin looked to other industries in order to find other ways to varnish or paint their watches dial. E.I du Pont de Nemours and Company – later shorten to DuPont Company – was founded in 1802 by Éleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours (1771-1834) a French-American chemist and industrialist. His descendants were one of the richest families of the 19th century, with generations of influential businessmen, politicians and philanthropists. Initially manufacturing gunpowder, the company expanded its business, between 1902 and 1940, into chemical researches. Some of their discoveries led to painting, especially for the car industries in the 1930’s. And that is how Vacheron Constantin and DuPont Company met. The DuPont Company’s automotive lacquer product line was nicknamed Duco. These paint lacquers contain the material nitrocellulose which dried quickly giving an lacquer-enamel finish. That is the reason why, the watch manufacture used the Duco painting to coat some of its black dial with, between the 1930s and 1950s, to have the shiniest surface possible. These dials are extremely rare, specifically with the radium indexes.

Longines (founded in 1832) has a steady and close relationship with the world of aviation, since the beginning of the conquest of the skies, long way to 1919 when Longines became the official supplier of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). Later the manufacture produced the Weems System of Navigation (1927-1929) and the Lindbergh (1931), the two very first pilot’s wristwatches. Originally sold with a black dial as stated by the extract from the archive, this watch is presented with an additional white dial. Up to our knowledge, the configuration with a white dial has never been yet auctioned. It is worth noticing, it was invoiced to the company’s agent at the time Nederlandsche Horlogehandel or N.H. in Amsterdam, Holland. It is equipped with the caliber 12.68Z which is a vintage mechanical movement produced in the 1940s and 1950s. This caliber would have been presented to, former technical director, Alfred Pfister (1874-1951). In 1918, he joined the company’s Board of Directors, becoming its Managing Director in 1927. During his career, he worked on reducing the thickness of movements and creating numerous avant-garde calibers and products, including watches for aviators.

This reference is launched in 1939 and was produced for only a year from 1939 to 1940. This reference is a milestone for Rolex for different reasons. The first was its shear size, measuring an impressive 38 mm. It was the first chronograph to integrate a third register to record the hours elapsed. Often found with telemeter and tachometer scales, rarely with pulsometer scale, some examples are fitted with a simple configuration that further enhances their sizes. It’s one of the rarest and most desirable early Rolex chronographs, only 250 pieces were made in pink, yellow gold and stainless steel cases.

RRolex, officially born in 1915, made some of its biggest breakthrough during the late 1920’s and 1930’s, such as its famous “Oyster” case — the world’s first water-resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and its “Perpetual” movement — the world’s first reliable, self-winding movement for the wristwatch, launched in 1933. It was also at this time that the Manufacture initiated its communication and marketing strategy around the “testimonee concept”. Rolex promotes its watches by asking sportsmen and women, explorers, car racers... to wear one of their watches while they accomplish a challenge. For instance, this was the case with Mercedes Gleitze (1900-1981) who swam across the English Channel in 1927, and Malcolm Campbell (1885-1948) who broke the speed record of 445 km/h on the Daytona Beach circuit in 1935. The Rolex ref. 3667 is one of the rarest gentleman’s dress watch. Launch in the 1940’s, it is known as one of the most elegant vintage wristwatch produced by Rolex with a beautiful Art Deco design inherited from the 1930’s. The hour-hand on this specific model, called “pontife”, is a fairly rare shape found mostly on clocks and watches from the previous decade. It named after the shape of the seal at the bottom of a papal bull, hence the name “pontife” (French for pontiff). It is exceptionally rare to find this configuration or a ref. 3667 with such hour-hand.

Known as the wristwatch worn by presidents, hence its nickname “President”, it was the first water-resistant and self-winding chronometer wristwatch to offer a modern calendar with an instantaneous day display, spelt out in full in a window on the dial, in addition to the date. Exclusively crafted in precious metals, very few watch models come close to the stature, eminence and timelessness of the Rolex “Day-Date” This reference 1806 is characterised by an unusual engraving, sometimes called the “Florentine”-finish, on the case and bezel which gives it a distinctive appearance. Even more unusual is the fact that it is accompanied by its original bracelet, which also has a similar design.

Released in 1945, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Rolex, the Datejust is one of the most emblematic wristwatch ever produced. It owes its success to its classic appeal, reliable movement, and timeless design. The reference 16018 was launched in 1977, powered by the updated caliber 3035 which introduces the quickset function.
This is an excellent example of a Datejust with a hard stone dial, here tiger eye, usually appearing on Day-Date models but used far less for the Datejust and making this one even rarer. There are highly sought after by collectors as the manufacture of these dials is delicate and their cost high, so few were produced.
The brand would occasionally supply special order pieces, most commonly Middle Eastern royalty, and include that person’s official crest or signature on the dial, in this case the signature of Qaboos bin Said (1940-2020), Sultan Of Oman. The Sultan’s name is printed in Arabic, in red, above the standard “Superlative chronometer” certification at six o’clock. The Sultan was known for combining his passion for watchmaking with diplomacy.
Associating such rare features, tiger eye dial with khanjar crest, this watch is a must-have for collectors.

After being introduced in 1945, the Rolex Datejust has known many variations. The reference 1601 was produced from the 1960’s to 1980’s. It is one of the most emblematic vintage reference of the Datejust. What makes this wristwatch truly exceptional is the lapis lazuli dial with the “kanjhar” crest, national emblem of Oman. Given the difficulty of machining these hard stones as dials, few were produced, and even fewer have reached us in good condition. These very rare examples are particularly sought after by collectors. On the other hand, the kanjhar” crest painted on the dial indicates this wristwatch might probably have been a diplomatic gift. This type of present was part of Qaboos bin Said (1940-2020), Sultan Of Oman’s policy. He commissioned many watches with the Omani royal crest, a “khanjar” dagger laid over crossed swords, to offer them as gift in recognition of a service rendered.

The Rolex Oyster Chronograph 6234 is often regarded as the precursor to the famous Daytona and therefore is nicknamed by collectors “pre-Daytona”. Produced from 1955 to 1961, it offers many of the same features as the Daytona. During its 6-year production run, Rolex produced around 2,300 pieces in steel and less than 150 in 14k or 18k gold (approx. 500 pieces produced every year). Given how few pieces are produced in gold, a watch like this is exceptionally rare.

Simultaneously launched, the Rolex ref. 6263 and ref. 6265 were introduced at the beginning of the 1970’s. Both were meant to replace the previous references 6262 and 6264. The chronograph’s screwed push-pieces on the caseband brought an essential improvement: the waterproofness at 50 metres.
Produced from 1971 to 1988, the Ref. 6265 is well known for its “sports look”, with the famous smooth bezel with tachymeter scale. Here, is presented the luxury version in18K yellow gold case and bracelet, with a beautiful “Champagne” «Paul Newman» dial. According to specialists, in a run of approximately 1’300 pieces, the Ref. 6265, 18K yellow gold version, has been produced approximately in 750 pieces.

Designed in 1917 by Louis Cartier, the Cartier Tank is probably the most emblematic model from the Cartier manufacture. It was introduced in 1918, and entered full production in 1919, when six pieces were built. Its lines and proportion are inspired by the Renault tanks used on the Western Front during the First World War. The model has undergone many variations including the Tank Louis in 1922, the Tank Americaine in 1989, and the Tank Française in 1996… The pursuit of a water-resistant wristwatch with right angles, was not an easy task for Cartier. Nonetheless, in 1932, the French watchmaker launched the Cartier Tank étanche – same year as the Cartier Pasha. Its unveiling, in a vase filled with water, created quite a stir. The model arrived later on the US market, in the 1940’s. The model takes its structure from the Tank à Guichets. However, the dial flange, which extends over the side-pieces, cancels out the interplay of perpendicular lines and significantly alters the proportions of the case. For this reason, it is recorded in the Cartier archives as a Tank dérivée. Unfortunately, due to the square shape of the case, this model did not meet waterproofing expectations. Few were made which makes this watch one of the rare witnesses to Cartier’s research into water-resistance. Up to this day, it has not yet been reissued by Cartier.

Patek Philippe, Ref. 1593: This reference is launched in 1944 and remained in production until the late-1960’s. This rectangular-shaped watch is fitted withthe Cal. 9-90. The majority in yellow gold, more rarely in rose gold and even more rarely in platinum. This reference was also made in very few exampleswith polychrome cloisonné enamel dials. Around 1 000 examples were produced; some with integrated bracelet. The watch is so-called “Hour Glass” by collectors. The lady version bears the Ref. 2261 (made between 1948 and the mid-1950’s).

Introduced in 1932, with the reference 96, the Calatrava is probably one of the most iconic classic watch model in the history of horology. The successor to the famed reference 96 Calatrava, the reference 570 was its oversize sister reference, the case going from 31 mm to 35 mm. Launched in 1938, this reference was produced for 30 consecutive years, until 1972. It came in a variety of configuration, made in yellow, white, rose, platinum and steel as well as two-tone with a number of dial diversities including roman, Arabic, Breguet, and of course batons. In addition this piece is sold with a beautiful white gold riveted bracelet with deployant clasp a in the gay Frère Style. Such watch as this one are embodying perfectly the Generation’s campaign motto : “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation”.

Bovet, “Mono-Rattrapante”, patented “single” split-seconds with one hand
It was in 1935 that Bovet Frères & Co. created and patented a “mono-rattrapante” chronograph system that acted similarly to a split-seconds mechanism. This chronograph movement with a single hand is elaborated by Bovet on the Valjoux 14’’’ calibre 84. This particular wristwatch features the three normal functions of any single-button chronograph, activated through the push-piece at 2, enabling the chronograph hand to: “start” / “stop” / “return to zero”.
In addition, there are two further functions activated through the push-piece at 4:
1) By depressing the push-piece, the single chronograph hand stops.
2) By releasing the push-piece, within a maximum time of 60 seconds, the hand jumps forward, catching-up the seconds elapsed in the meantime.
Two versions of this wristwatch exist:
· The first, features a round, flat push-piece at 2 and an olive-shaped push-piece at 4.
· The second version has either a square or a round water-resistant push-piece at 2 and at 4.

During the development of early dive watches from Rolex, there was still some experimenting going on in regards to the dial writings, colours and references. This 6536 considered to be part of the early batch of dive watches actually having the name Submariner on the dial is a perfect example of this. With a very early serial number of 5 digits, it features the reference 6538 crossed out in the back and replaced with the reference 6536. Furthermore it features the depth printed in red which would very soon be discontinued in favour of all gilt graffics. The dial also has the characteristic 6 o clock marker that is in a slightly whiter shade than the rest of the indexes, insuring its authenticity. A rare insight to the world of early Rolex Submariners.

The history that unites Rolex with the conquest of the oceans goes back to 1927, when Mercedes Gleitze (1900-1981), a young British swimmer, swam across the English Channel (October 7), with a Rolex “Oyster Perpetual” on her wrist. It is the first water-resistant wristwatch in the history of horology, with a screw-down winding- and setting-crown and case-back.
The “Submariner” model appeared in 1953. At that time, the watch was water-resistant to 100 metres. The first models, without crown protection (or crown-guard), are today nicknamed “James Bond” after the watch Reference 6538 worn by “Agent 007”, played on the screen by Sean Connery (1930-2020), in the films “Dr. No” (1962), “From Russia with Love” (1963) and “Goldfinger” (1964). There are two types of “James Bond” Rolex, which can be distinguished according to the size of the crown: small or large. The Reference 6538 worn by 007 is a “Big Crown”; this model is the most popular among collectors today.

There are two types of “James Bond” Rolex, which can be distinguished according to the size of the crown: small or large.
Immediately recognizable by its lacquered dial, marked “Swiss Only”, the absence of a crown-guard and the large crown (Ø 8 mm.), the Reference 5510 was only produced for one year, from the end of 1958 to 1959, hence its extreme rarity. Moreover, it is the last of the “James Bond” “Big Crown” watches to have been produced.
Beyond the obvious link with this 7th Art myth, these models remains a milestone in the history of diving watches.

The Pan American World Airways, «PAN AM», one of the largest airlines founded in 1926, might have been one of Rolex’s first major clients. Therefore, in 1954, probably at the request of the «PAN AM», Rolex designed a new pilot’s wristwatch, the GMT. An additional hand and a blue and red, so-called «Pepsi», bi-directional bezel, allows an instant reading of a second time zone. A watchmaking complication essential to the advent of long-haul flights, and therefore an essential tool for travelers.
The ref. 6542 is the first reference produced and is based on a Turn-O-Graph Ref. 6202. The very first examples, like the model we are presenting, are immediately recognizable by the absence of a guards around the crown, the dial signed «Swiss» at 6 o’clock and the bezel in bakelite.
Alongside the standard “Pepsi” version in stainless steel, with only 6 years of production, a very small number of 6542 were made in 18k yellow gold with matching brown dial and bezel combination. Here this is a «nipple dial» style, with the domed gold hour markers filled with the luminous material, bars at 6 and 9, and the triangle marker at 12.

The reference 1625 was produced by Rolex from 1959 to 1977 in solid 18k gold, two-tone steel and yellow gold, and steel with a whitegold bezel. The Turn-O-Graph was Rolex’s first commercial release of a watch with a rotating bezel. The nickname «Thunderbird’’ comes from the USAF Air Demonstration Squadron, established in 1953, which was the first supersonic aerobatic team.

Louis-Francois Cartier founded the Cartier brand in Paris in 1847. His sons Louis, Pierre and Jacques continued the business in Paris, New York and London during the 20th century, eventually dominating international watch and jewelry design.
The Cartier Crash watch originated in Jean-Jacques Cartier’s boutique on London’s Bond Street, which remains the company’s flagship location. When the Cartier Crash debuted in 1967, Cartier produced it in limited quantities. Two different stories about the design’s inspiration have circulated since then, but both versions involve a blazing car accident.
One rumor about the jewelry’s origin is that an elderly woman brought a watch to the boutique for repair after the heat from a car accident deformed its dial and case. Another version speculates that Cartier designed the watch in memory of a Cartier executive who died in a car crash while wearing a Cartier Baignoire Allongée watch. As with the other story, heat from the car crash distorted the watch. Before the alleged accident and ensuing Cartier Crash design, the Baignoire Allongée watch was undeformed but had an oblong shape. Its French name translates to “oblong bathtub” in English. Some have even joked that you can obtain a Cartier Crash by placing a Baignoire Allongée near a fire to achieve the same shape.
Aside from these speculations about the watch’s beginning, some people believe Dali’s paintings inspired the design. Its deformed shape closely resembles the iconic melted clocks. Despite all the theories about the watch’s design inspiration, the truth may be less exciting. Cartier’s granddaughter, Francesca Cartier Brickell, claims that Cartier’s inspiration for the design originated from his idea to pinch the ends of the oval shape to adapt it into something new.

For the past century, Cartier made its reputation as one of the main pillar in the luxury watchmaking industry. Released in 1912, the Tortue (Turtle) is a variation of the Tonneau Cintré created by Louis Cartier in 1906. The model has undergone many evolution during the 1920’s such as the Monopoussoir (the Monopusher in 1928). As stated in its name, this model is a chronograph on which the stop, and reset-to-zero functions are all handled through a single pusher. For a relatively short period of time, from 1998 to 2008, Cartier relaunched it as part of the Collection Privée Cartier Paris collection (CPCP).Tthis is part of Cartier’s new strategy of relaunching in small numbers new versions of its institutional models.Three great names in horology were behind the creation of Calibre 045 MC which equipped this new version of the Tortue : Denis Flageollet, Vianney Halter and François-Paul Journe. They were all members of the Techniques Horlogères Appliquées (THA) an independant company working for Cartier.

Launched in 1976, the “Nautilus”, named after Captain Nemo’s submarine (created by Jules Verne in his “Vingt mille lieues sous les mers”), was an immense breakthrough from Patek Philippe’s conservative designs and proof that Haute Horlogerie and audacity can go hand in hand to create an icon that is still relevant 40 years later.
Legend has it that the idea of creating a watch in the shape of a porthole found on transatlantic liners came to designer Gérald Genta (19312011), a Genevan designer jeweller, whilst dining at a restaurant during the Basel fair and looking at the Patek Philippe team dining on a table opposite his. The whole design having taken no more than 5 minutes!
Patek Philippe produced two versions of the Nautilus Ref. 3700 in steel: 3700 / 1, from 1976 to about 1981, that featured a straight bracelet and reference; 3700 / 11, which was in production from 1981 to 1990 has a tapered steel bracelet.
Beating within is the Cal. 28-255 (based on the legendary Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC 920 self-winding movement; which was never used by Jaeger-LeCoultre!) and heavily modified by Patek Philippe, it was at the time the world’s thinnest self-winding movement with date (3.05 mm. thick) and found in two other models representing HauteHorlogerie groovy chic: Audemars Piguet’s “Royal Oak” and Vacheron Constantin’s “222”; the first, also design by Genta; the second, designed by Jorg Hysek, a young German designer (born in 1953).
Owing to a thinner calibre, the 3700 / 1 A retains a slimmer profile than its 21st century descendent, the 5711 / 1 A, introduced on the 40th anniversary of the 3700 in 2006.
The “Jumbo” nickname refers to the 42 mm. case, with wide flat bezel, integrated steel link bracelet, and self-winding movement, possessing a rather masculine aesthetic compared to the smaller dressy gold mechanical watches of the time.
According to the specialists, although it has not been confirmed, approximately 5’000 pieces in steel of this reference were produced. While it was initially not well received, its popularity quickly grew, and has been a mainstay of Patek Philippe’s collection until the present day.

Quickly after launching the iconic Royal Oak in 1972, Audemars Piguet expanded the Royal Oak 35 mm collection by transforming certain examples of the ref. 14486 into jewellery timepieces. The addition of gemsetting changed the watch reference to 14544.
Produced from 1987 to 1992, the ref. 14544 was available in three materials: yellow gold (1987), white gold (1989) and two-tone yellow gold and steel (1991). The ref. 14544BC is the white gold version of model 14544. According to the manufacture 42 were sold from 1989 to 1992, and only 11 were sold in 1991, making this example extremely rare.

In December 1875, Jules Louis Audemars formed a partnership with his childhood friend, Edward Auguste Piguet. In 1881, the two watchmakers created officially Audemars Piguet & Cie based in la Vallée de Joux. The Royal Oak was launched in 1972, after Audemars Piguet called on the genius of iconic designer Gerald Genta to produce a wristwatch both elegant and sporty. Named after the famous English oak tree for Charles II, it is one of the first wristwatch designed by Genta. This timeless model is known in many variations. According to the collector book on calendar watches published by Audemars Piguet the first reference of the Royal Oak perpetual calendar was the reference 25554 which was produced from 1983 to 1991 in steel, two-tone, yellow gold and platinum (made respectively in 49 examples in steel, 229 in yellow gold/two-tone and 1 in platinum). Produced from 1982 to 1993 – but offer for sale until 1998 –, the ref. 25654 embodies the knowhow of Audemars Piguet which is the first manufacture to produce a luxury sports watch featuring a complication. Out of a total production of 800 pieces in all metal combined, 422 were made in yellow gold, 272 in stainless steel, 72 two-toned, 33 platinum and 1 white gold. Combining a perpetual calendar movement to a sports watch was, at the time, a very “avant-garde” way to approaching horology. Hardly recognizable from the first versions, only slightly thicker (0.75 mm in fact) due to a large rubber seal added by the Technical Department who rethought the water-resistance system. The smooth salmon dial with no tapisserie is an extremely rare feature, the most desirable version of this reference. The wriswatch is fitted with the well-known 2120 caliber, an ultra-thin automatic movement, introduced in 1967, originally created by Jaeger-LeCoultre and used by Audemars Piguet for the Royal Oak, Vacheron Constantin for the 222 and Patek Philippe for the Nautilus.
Launched in 1992, the Jubilee Royal Oak was created in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first Jumbo Royal Oak reference 5402 launched in 1972. A total of 1000 watches were released in steel (700 examples with either dark blue or salmon dials, 280 in yellow gold and 20 in platinum. At its launch Royal Oak’s didn’t have the success it enjoys today and many of these Jubilees sat at retailers for many years such as this example sold over 2 year later, which is unheard of today for any limited Royal Oak release. Featuring a crystal back allowing the wearer to enjoy the self-winding caliber 2121 and its 21K Jubilee engraved rotor, the salmon dial is the most desirable version and this example complete with its accessories and just back from service is ready to be added to a collector’s safe or wrist.

Audemars Piguet, “Royal Oak OffShore” “Alinghi Polaris” Launched at SIHH in 2005, the “Alinghi Polaris”, named after the star commonly used for navigation, was the first “Royal Oak” designed specifically for sailing. Using the newly designed calibre 2326 movement with calibre 2874 chronograph module, the watch featured a fly-back chronograph with visual 10-minute countdown timer (a 10-minute central recorder and an aperture for the “Regatta” function which turns red after 9 minutes), as well as 20-minute and 6-hour recorders, with a subsidiary dial for running seconds. Released in limited edition of 2 000 examples with 1 935 in this configuration, the model was the first, and until 2016 the only “Royal Oak” model to incorporate an inner revolving ring as found on the Scuba model (also first launched in 2005) with a chronograph.

Since the creation of its famous Cosmograph Daytona, in 1963, Rolex tried endlessly to develop an automatic movement for its chronographs. Then, the manufacture called upon Zenith. From this partnership, the reference 16520 was born, in 1987. Officially launched in 1988, this was the first Daytona to adopt an automatic movement called «Zenith El Primero». The Zenith-based caliber 4030 has 36,000 oscillations per second, twice as many as the caliber 11, giving it remarkable regularity and accuracy. The reference stayed in production until 2000. The present example, being from the L series, that is to say from 1988-1989, is one of the first produced. It features a “floating dial”, meaning there is a small space between the writings « Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified » and “Cosmograph”.

When Malcolm Campbell broke the speed record of 445 km/h on the Daytona Beach circuit in 1935, he was wearing. When the Rolex Daytona became the official watch of the Rolex 24 At Daytona, the American equivalent of the 24 hours of Le Mans, the chronograph was thus consecrated as THE watch for car racers.
It is the reason why Rolex developed an “exotic dial” offering a better visibility for racing drivers. First, because of the two-color dial, or like here the three-color dial, in black and white with a red tachymeter scale ; second with the indexes in the registers which are boldly square and Arabic numerals. According to the specialists, although it has never been confirmed, for every one exotic dial, roughly twenty-four Daytona dials were produced, and many of those exotic dials are no longer still in existence today. They are named “Paul Newman” after the famous eponymous Hollywood actor who use to wear a Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 with an exotic dial.
Produced between 1966 and 1969, the reference 6241 is recognizable with the smooth pushers and the beautiful black epoxy bezel graduated 50-200 units per hour. Experts agree that approximately 2’300 copies were produced in stainless steel – approximately 700 in gold – and one can be certain that only a very small number of those with “Paul Newman” three colors dials are as well preserved as this lot. To come across a reference 6241 is rare, but this example with this dial is even rarer.
Throughout the years, the watch collectors stetted different features considered more or less valuable. The present example is such a rare configuration of some of the most sought after features, that some might consider it as the Holy Grail : first a Rolex Daytona, then an exotic dial and finally the retailer signature.
The signature Daytona appeared on the famous Rolex chronograph, around 1965, definitively linking the watch to the Daytona Beach car races. Produced between 1966 and 1969, the reference 6241 is recognizable with the smooth pushers and the beautiful black epoxy bezel graduated 50-200 units per hour. Experts agree that approximately 2’300 copies were produced in stainless steel – approximately 750 in gold – and, although it has never been confirmed, for every one exotic dial, roughly twenty-four Daytona dials were produced.
These exotic dial allows a better and quicker reading, with a two-color dial, or like here a three-color dial, in black and white with a red tachymeter scale, and indexes in the registers which are boldly square and Arabic numerals. They are nicknamed “Paul Newman” after the famous eponymous Hollywood actor who use to wear a Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 with an exotic dial. One can be certain that only a very small number of those ref. 6241 with “Paul Newman” are still in existence today.
Last but not least, the dial is signed by the prestigious US jewelry retailer, Tiffany & Co. Rolex and Tiffany initiated their partnership in the late 1950’s. This deal allowed Tiffany & Co. to print its name on the dials of the Rolex watches sold in its boutiques. In the 1990’s, due to a change in policy for the watches services, the cooperation between the two ended. Therefore, this double signature not only adds to the rarity of the timepiece, but also serves as an interesting chronological marker in the history of watchmaking.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is one of the most famous and sought after watches on the market. Launched in 1963, its 50th anniversary in 2013 was highly expected by all the watch collectors. To celebrate this birthday, the manufacture introduced a new reference 116506 entirely in platinum, powered by a 4130 caliber, with a chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel and an ice-blue dial with the historic red Daytona signature on the dial.
This reference was only the third Rolex watch to be fitted with a Cerachrom bezel. Rolex took years to develop this new material. Patented in 2005, Cerachrom is the contraction of the French word céramique and the ancient Greek suffix chrom. This component is virtually scratchproof, highly corrosion resistant, and its color is unaffected by ultraviolet rays.
The exceptional provenance of this watch, former property of Mr. Philippe Schaeffer, director of Rolex France from 2008 to 2019 adds to the prestige of the watch. Note his initials are engraved on the caseback as well as a delicate illustration of the Little Prince (le Petit Prince), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s famous character. Published in 1943, the book has been translated into nearly 35 languages, making it one of the most widely translated books in the world, second only to the Bible. This poetic engraving adds to the watch’s unique look.
A very fine, desirable, large, new old stock, self-winding, 18k pink gold wristwatch made for the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak.

Launched in 1976, during the quartz crisis, the Nautilus is the second watch designed by Gerald Genta, after the Royal Oak in 1972. The shape of its case, very avant-garde for the time, reminds one of a porthole, which might explain its name after Captain Nemo’s fictitious submarine, in Jules Verne’s famous book Twenty Miles Under the Sea (1869-1870).
The first reference is the 3700/1 manufactured from 1976 to 1981. Patek Philippe launched the reference 3711/1G in 2004 in Basel. It was soon discontinued, in 2005. It was only produced in white gold with a black ribbed dial. The 3711/1G similar to the reference 3700 in shape and size, featured a centre seconds and a sapphire case back, paving the way for the ref. 5711. With only two years of production, it is extremely rare to find one with its accessories in today’s market.

Adding one millimeter to the case compared to the original reference 3700 and launched with a classic blue dial, it varied with a three-part case that was slightly thicker as well (from 7.6 mm. on the 3700 to 8.3 mm. on the 5711) and equipped with the caliber 324. Introduced in 2008, the Nautilus ref. 5713 is the white gold version of the stainless steel ref. 5711. In addition, the bezel is setted with 48 diamonds.

The story of the Nautilus goes back to 1976 when designed by a man who needs no introduction, Gerald Genta (1931-2011). The model has known many variations. The reference 5712 was launch in 2006, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus. It succeeded to the reference 3712 which was released in 2005 and produced for less than a year. Featuring a power reserve, a date, and a moon phases indication, the model stood as the most complicated Nautilus wristwatch until 2018, when the reference 5740 was introduced. Models produced after 2009 are equipped with a caliber 240 stamped with the Patek Philippe seal – and not anymore the Poinçon de Genève (Geneva seal used from 2006 to 2009). The present example shatters the codes of the sporty look of a Nautilus with a beautiful leather strap. Notably, the pink gold model was the first Nautilus to be fitted with an integrated leather strap. What makes this wristwatch standing out, is the double signature on the dial with the retailer’s name, Tiffany&Co, in addition to Patek Philippe. The partnership between the manufacture and the famous US jeweler goes back more than 170 years. In 1847, Antoni Patek (1812-1877), one of the founders of Patek Philippe, met in New York Charles-Lewis Tiffany (1812-1902). Both men are iconic entrepreneurs of the “Gilded Age”, each having founded Tiffany in 1837 and Patek Philippe in 1839. It is said they instantly liked each other, which opened the way to an order by Tiffany for 150 watches in the same year, and to a more formalized partnership in 1851. Therefore, this year is the 172nd anniversary of this famous partnership.

Launched in 1956, the reference 6541 is the little sister of the Rolex Milgauss reference 6543, created in 1954 for people working on scientific experiments or in power stations, who would need a watch that remained accurate in conditions of work where high magnetic fields existed. Closely related to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Geneva), this model was used to resist to high magnetic fields. The watch’s distinctive name was derived from the French word “Mille”, meaning “thousand”, and “Gauss”, which is a measurement of magnetic induction.
Magnetic fields affected the balance workings of a watch. A normal watch will become erratic at 60 oersted and cease to function at around 100 oersted. The Milgauss had anti-magnetic alloys in parts of its movement, which was encased by an iron shield, thereby enabling the watch to remain accurate in fields of over 1000 oersted. At the time of its launch the Milgauss was considered a marvel of horological engineering. Not only did the watch function perfectly when subjected to a magnetic field of 1000 oersted, its guaranteed limit, but it could also remain accurate at 5000 oersted. In fact, even after being placed in such powerful magnetic fields, the residual magnetism in the watch’s workings was insufficient to affect its accuracy.
To this history, the timepiece presented here has other distinctive features such as a rotating bezel with a red-colored triangle and a honeycomb-patterned tropical dial, with circular indexes and faceted, triangular hour markers at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Indeed, the dial of this reference is made of webbed laminated copper to protect the movement from the magnetic fields, which collectors refer to as a ‘honeycomb’ dial.
The production of the 6541 ends in 1960. With only 4 years of production, this tool watch, rich in history, is highly sought after by collectors and hard to find in such a good condition.

When Malcolm Campbell (1885-1948) broke the speed record of 445 km/h on the Daytona Beach circuit in 1935, it was with a Rolex on his wrist. In 1959, the “Daytona International Speedway” was born, a 2.500 mi (4.023 km) long circuit that hosts the most famous car races such as the “Daytona 500” or the “Rolex 24 At Daytona”, the American equivalent of the “24 Heures” of Le Mans, of which the Rolex “Daytona” is also the official watch. Thanks to Hans Wildrof marketing genius, the Rolex wristwatch was thus consecrated as THE watch of the car racers.
The reference 6239 is the first reference of the Daytona collection. Initially called “Le Mans” as an homage to the eponymous French car race, of 24 Hours of Le Mans (24 Heures du Mans); the name “Daytona” appeared in 1965 written on the dial of this chronograph. Introduced in 1963, it was produced until 1969, mainly in stainless steel. Experts estimated that Rolex made approximately 13,700 pieces in stainless steel.
The Rolex Daytona with exotic dial, known as the «Paul Newman» dial, is one of the most sought-after vintage chronographs among collectors. According to the specialists, although it has never been confirmed, for every one “exotic” dial, roughly 24 “Daytona” dials were produced, and many of those “exotic” dials are no longer still in existence today. They are named “Paul Newman” after the famous eponymous Hollywood actor who use to wear a Rolex “Daytona” Ref. 6239 with an “exotic” dial. Thanks to the square hour index on the counters, combined to the color contrast and the Arabic numeral markers inscribed more boldly, these dials were intended to be more visible to the car racers.

Introduced in 1963, it was produced until 1969, mainly in stainless steel. Experts agree that from an overall production of 14.000 examples, approximately only 300 were cased in 14k and 18k yellow gold.
Referred as the John Player Special reminiscent of the cigarette brand with similar colours that sponsored the Lotus Formula 1 team starting in 1972. Often found in reference 6241, John Player Special’s with reference 6239 are exceptionally rare and is considered as one of the most desirable versions of the Paul Newman ever produced.

La présente vente aux enchères est une vente aux enchères publique tenue par Antiquorum Management AG (ci-après Antiquorum) en collaboration avec MC Luxury Auction S.A.M (ci-après MC Luxury Auction) à Monaco. La participation à la vente aux enchères et/ou l’achat d’un quelconque lot implique une adhésion totale à tous les droits et obligations découlant des présentes conditions de vente.
Les Avis Importants contenus dans ce catalogue sont considérés comme partie intégrante des Conditions de vente. Les conditions de vente, avis importants ainsi que le contenu du catalogue ne pourront être amendés que par Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction par des avis écrits ou oraux.
Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction agissent exclusivement comme mandataire et n’assument donc aucune responsabilité en cas de manquement(s) des acquéreurs et/ou vendeurs.
Ces mêmes conditions sont applicables à toute transaction en relation à des pièces ou des lots faisant partie de la vente aux enchères et conclue en dehors de celle-ci.
La vente aux enchères est conduite par un huissier de justice à Monaco qui prononcera les adjudications, s’assurera que les enchères soient correctement effectuées et plus généralement prendra toutes les mesures nécessaires au maintien de l’ordre au cours de la vente.
L’huissier se réserve le droit à sa seule discrétion, et sans obligation de motiver sa décision, de poursuivre ou d’arrêter la vente, de retirer un ou plusieurs lots, d’accepter ou de refuser une enchère, de procéder à toute division, réunion ou retrait de lot. De manière générale, l’huissier a toute compétence pour prendre les décisions afin de régler tout litige surgissant lors de la vente.
L’huissier lira les clauses essentielles avant le commencement des enchères.
Les présentes conditions sont à disposition de tout intéressé. Elles sont affichées dans le local des ventes durant la durée de la vente. Seule la présente version française des Conditions de vente fait foi.
Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction ont inclus dans le catalogue des estimations de la valeur des lots mis en vente. Ces estimations ont été faites à la suite d’avis d’experts, de tests, et d’autres méthodes qu’Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction ont jugé à leur entière discrétion comme appropriées selon les circonstances. Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction n’encourront cependant aucune responsabilité en vertu d’une quelconque cause concernant les estimations de la valeur des lots. Chaque participant aux enchères sera responsable de procéder à sa propre estimation de la valeur des lots mis en vente.
Tous les lots sont vendus dans l’état dans lequel ils se trouvent au moment de la vente avec leurs imperfections et défauts. Aucune réclamation relative aux restaurations d’usage et petits accidents ne sera possible. Il est de la responsabilité de chaque futur enchérisseur d’examiner attentivement chaque lot avant la vente et de se référer à son propre jugement afin de prendre connaissance de ses caractéristiques et de ses éventuelles réparations ou restaurations. Il ne sera admis aucune réclamation une fois l’adjudication prononcée.
Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction peuvent fournir aux personnes intéressées un rapport détaillé sur l’état des lots. De plus, les lots pourront être examinés avant la vente aux heures listées dans le catalogue.
Tout lot vendu aux enchères peut être affecté par les lois sur les exportations du pays dans lequel il est vendu et les restrictions à l’importation d’autres pays. De nombreux pays exigent une déclaration d’exportation pour les biens quittant
le pays et/ou une déclaration d’importation à l’entrée des biens dans le pays. Les lois locales peuvent vous empêcher d’importer un lot ou vous empêcher de vendre un lot dans le pays où vous l’importez. Sachez que l’or de moins de 18 carats n’est pas considéré dans tous les pays comme de l’or et peut donc parfois être refusé à l’importation dans ces pays sous l’appellation « or ».
(i) Presque toutes les montres et horloges ont subi des réparations et des révisions au cours de leur durée de vie et peuvent donc éventuellement comporter des pièces que ne sont pas d’origine. Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction ne garantissent pas l’authenticité d’un élément composant une montre ou une horloge. Les horloges peuvent être vendues sans pendules, poids ou clé. Les montres de poche peuvent également être vendues sans clé.
(ii) Les montres et horloges de collection ont souvent des mécanismes très fins et complexes, une révision, un changement de piles ou d’autres travaux de réparation peuvent être nécessaires. L’acquéreur en est responsable. Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction ne garantissent pas le bon fonctionnement d’une montre ou d’une horloge. Les certificats ne sont pas disponibles sauf s’ils sont décrits dans le catalogue.
(iii) La plupart des montres ont été ouvertes pour constater le type et la qualité du mouvement. Pour cette raison, les montres avec boîtier étanches peuvent ne pas être étanche. Il est recommandé de les faire vérifier par un horloger compétent avant utilisation.
(i) Les gemmes de couleur (telles que les rubis, les saphirs, les émeraudes…) peuvent avoir été traitées pour améliorer leur apparence,
par des méthodes comme le chauffage ou l’huilage. Ces méthodes sont acceptées par le commerce international de la bijouterie mais peuvent fragiliser la gemme et/ou nécessiter des soins particuliers au fil du temps.
(ii) Tous les types de pierres précieuses peuvent avoir été améliorés par une méthode quelconque. Il n’y a pas de rapport d’analyse gemmologique pour chaque pierre précieuse vendue. Lorsqu’il y a un rapport d’analyse gemmologique provenant d’un laboratoire reconnu internationalement, celui-ci est décrit dans le catalogue. En raison des différences d’approche et de technologie, les laboratoires peuvent ne pas être d’accord si une pierre précieuse particulière a été traitée, la quantité de traitement ou si le traitement est permanent. Les laboratoires de gemmologie ne feront de rapport que sur les améliorations ou traitement connus des laboratoires à la date du rapport.
(iii) Pour les ventes de bijoux, les estimations sont fondées sur les informations contenues dans tout rapport d’analyse gemmologique ou, si aucun rapport n’est disponible, supposent que les pierres précieuses peuvent avoir été traitées ou améliorées.
C. DESCRIPTION DES LOTS
Malgré les efforts déployés pour assurer l’exactitude de la description de chaque lot du catalogue, Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction ne garantissent pas qu’une telle description soit parfaitement exacte. Toute déclaration, qu’elle soit imprimée dans le catalogue ou non, en relation avec, sans limitation, l’authenticité, la provenance, l’origine, l’âge, la date, la condition, le prix de vente estimée, ou la qualité de tout lot, n’est que l’affirmation d’une opinion et, ni Antiquorum, ni MC Luxury Auction ne seront tenus responsables pour l’exactitude de toute opinion donnée.
Avant la vente, les acquéreurs potentiels sont invités à se présenter auprès d’Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction afin de s’enregistrer en fournissant leurs coordonnées, justifiant leur identité (par une pièce d’identité ou un passeport valide et un registre des sociétés pour les personnes morales) ainsi que des garanties bancaires. Un numéro d’enchérisseur sera remis à toute personne enregistrée. Toute personne enchérissant pendant la vente est censée agir pour son propre compte et s’engage donc personnellement. Si vous enchérissez pour le compte d’une tierce personne, il est indispensable d’avertir Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction en fournissant un mandat qui devra être enregistré. L’enchérisseur qui agit pour le compte d’un tiers engage son entière responsabilité personnelle, en particulier en ce qui concerne les obligations contractées dans le cadre de la vente aux enchères. Cette responsabilité s’étend notamment à la vérification de la qualité des lots achetés ainsi qu’au règlement ultérieur de la facture des lots acquis. Si les personnes intéressées ne peuvent pas assister à la vente, il est possible d’enchérir directement par téléphone. Il est nécessaire de se manifester au moins 24h avant la vente afin de faire enregistrer sa demande d’enchères par téléphone. Etant donné le nombre limité de ligne téléphonique, Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction se réservent le droit de ne pas accepter une demande d’enchères par téléphone. Aussi, ils ne pourront engager leurs responsabilités, notamment en cas de disfonctionnement technique ou d’omission et d’erreur relatives à l’enregistrement d’enchères par téléphone. En cas d’absence au moment de la vente, les personnes intéressées peuvent également déposer des ordres d’achat. Il s’agit d’un service gratuit et confidentiel. Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction seront chargés d’exécuter vos ordres d’achat. L’enchérisseur est responsable de demander une confirmation écrite afin de s’assurer du bon enregistrement de son ordre en amont de la vente. Sans confirmation écrite, MC Luxury Auction et Antiquorum ne peuvent pas être tenus responsables en cas d’omission ou d’erreurs relatives à l’enregistrement d’ordres d’achat. Les lots seront achetés au meilleur prix en respectant le prix de réserve et les autres enchères. Dans le cas d’ordres identiques, c’est l’ordre reçu en premier qui sera préféré. Les lots de haute valeur (identifiés par Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction à leur entière discrétion) peuvent, à moins d’un accord préalable, être enchéris seulement par les acheteurs potentiels qui ont rempli un formulaire d’enregistrement pour les lots considérés de haute valeur.
La vente sera conduite en français mais les enchères pourront être répétées en anglais. Les enchères seront conduites en euros. A titre indicatif, un convertisseur de devises au taux du jour de la vente pourra être visible pendant les enchères. Toutefois, seul le prix en euros fait foi. Dans le cas où un prix minimum d’adjudication dit prix de réserve aurait été arrêté d’un commun accord entre le vendeur et la maison de vente, l’huissier pourra enchérir au nom et pour le compte de ce dernier jusqu’à ce que le prix de réserve soit atteint.
Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction sont en droit selon leur libre appréciation de retirer, de diviser ou de grouper différemment les lots faisant partie de la vente ainsi que de refuser l’adjudication de n’importe lequel desdits, et n’encourront aucune responsabilité de ce fait.
Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction se réservent le droit de refuser selon leur libre appréciation toute offre d’enchères.
En cas de conflit ou de tout autre question liée aux enchérisseurs, l’huissier pourra à sa seule discrétion déterminer l’enchérisseur gagnant, continuer les enchères, annuler la vente ou proposer de nouveau et remettre en vente l’article litigieux. Sa décision est consignée au procès-verbal, lequel fait foi.
Le montant des surenchères est en règle générale de 10 %, l’huissier pourra cependant modifier les surenchères à tout moment, à son entière discrétion. Le montant minimal d’enchères est communiqué durant la vente aux enchères. Antiquorum et MC Luxury Auction sont autorisés à reproduire sur le procès-verbal de vente et sur le bordereau d’adjudication les renseignements qu’aura fournis l’adjudicataire avant la vente. Toute fausse indication engagera la responsabilité de l’adjudicataire. Dans l’hypothèse où l’adjudicataire ne se sera pas fait enregistrer avant la vente, il devra communiquer les renseignements nécessaires dès l’adjudication du lot prononcée.
Conformément à la loi (Article 2-1 loi n°1.014 du 29/12/1978), l’État Monégasque dispose d’un droit de préemption sur les œuvres vendues aux enchères publiques dans la Principauté de Monaco. L’exercice de ce droit intervient immédiatement après le coup de marteau. La décision de préemption est portée à la connaissance de l’huissier, et l’État se substitue alors au dernier enchérisseur. La préemption est alors mentionnée au procès-verbal et doit être confirmé dans les 15 jours après la vente. En l’absence de confirmation, le lot revient au dernier enchérisseur.
La propriété des lots est transmise dès la tombée du marteau de l’huissier adjugeant le lot à l’enchérisseur gagnant. L’acquéreur ne pourra révoquer son acceptation d’un quelconque lot postérieurement
à la tombée du marteau de l’huissier. L’acquéreur accepte par la présente l’intégralité des risques et responsabilités liés au lot.

Les lots exportés hors Union-Européenne ne sont pas soumis à la TVA sur commissions. Les taxes locales et droits de douane sont à la charge de l’adjudicataire. Ces taxes locales et droit de douane seront à payés directement au moment de la livraison au transporteur en charge de l’expédition du lot.

The present auction is a public auction held by Antiquorum Management AG (hereinafter Antiquorum) in collaboration with MC Luxury Auction S.A.M. (hereinafter MC Luxury Auction) in Monaco. Participation in the auction and / or the purchase of any lot implies full adherence to all the rights and obligations arising from these terms and conditions of sale.
The “Important Notices” contained in this catalogue are considered an integral part of these “General Terms and Conditions of Sale”. The conditions of sale, important notices and the contents of the catalogue may only be amended by Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction by written or oral notices.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction act exclusively as agents and therefore assume no liability in the event of default(s) by the purchasers and / or sellers.
These same conditions are applicable to any transaction relating to items or lots forming part of the auction and concluded outside the auction.
The auction is conducted by a huissier de justice (hereinafter bailiff) in Monaco who will pronounce the bids, ensure that the bids are correctly made and more generally take all necessary measures to maintain order during the sale.
The bailiff reserves the right at his sole discretion, and without obligation to justify his decision, to continue or stop the sale, to withdraw one or more lots, to accept or refuse a bid, to proceed with any division, meeting or withdrawal of a lot. Generally speaking, the bailiff is fully competent to take decisions in order to settle any dispute arising at the time of the sale.
The bailiff will read the essential clauses before the auction begins. The present conditions are available to any interested party. They are displayed in the sales room for the duration of the auction. Only the present French version of the “General Terms and Conditions of Sale” is authentic.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction have included in the catalogue estimates of the value of the lots offered for sale. These estimates were made following expert opinions, tests, and other methods that Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction in their sole discretion deemed appropriate in the circumstances. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction will not, however, incur any liability under any cause whatsoever in respect of estimates of the value of the lots. Each auction participant will be responsible for making his own estimate of the value of the lots put up for sale.
All lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale with their imperfections and defects. No claims relating to customary restorations and small accidents will be possible. It is the responsibility of each future bidder to carefully examine each lot before the sale and to refer to his own judgement in order to take note of its characteristics and its possible repairs or restorations. No claims will be accepted once the adjudication has been pronounced.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction can provide interested parties with a detailed report on the condition of the lots. In addition, lots may be examined before the sale at the times listed in the catalogue.
Any lot sold at auction may be affected by the export laws of the country in which it is sold and the import restrictions of other countries. Many countries require an export declaration
for goods leaving the country and / or an import declaration upon entry of the goods into the country. Local laws may prevent you from importing a lot or prevent you from selling a lot in the country into which you are importing it. Please note that gold of less than 18 carats is not considered to be gold in all countries and can therefore sometimes be refused to be imported into these countries under the name “gold”.
(i) Almost all watches and clocks have undergone repairs and overhauls during their lifetime and may therefore possibly contain non-original parts. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction do not guarantee the authenticity of any component part of a watch or clock. The clocks can be sold without pendulums, weights or winding and time setting key. Pocket watches can also be sold without a key.
(ii) Collector’s watches and clocks often have very fine and complex mechanisms, an overhaul, a battery change or another repair work may be necessary. The purchaser is responsible for this. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction do not guarantee the correct functioning of a watch or a clock. Certificates and boxes are not available unless they are described in the catalogue.
(iii) Most watches and clocks have been opened to see the type and quality of the movement. For this reason, watches with waterresistant cases may not be waterresistant. It is recommended to have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.
(i) Coloured gems (such as rubies,
sapphires, emeralds, etc.) may have been treated to improve their appearance by methods such as heating or oiling. These methods are accepted by the international jewellery trade but may weaken the gem and / or require special care over time.
(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by any method. There is no gemmological analysis report for every gemstone sold, meaning they have not been tested by a recognized laboratory). When there is a gemmological analysis report from an internationally recognised laboratory, it is described in the catalogue. Due to differences in approach and technology, laboratories may disagree on whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether the treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
(iii) For jewellery sales, estimates are based on the information contained in any gemmological analysis report or, if no report is available, assume that the gems may have been processed or improved
Although every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the description of each lot in the catalogue, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction does not guarantee that such a description is perfectly accurate. Any statement, whether printed in the catalogue or not, in relation to, without limitation, the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, date, condition, estimated selling price, or quality of any lot, is only the assertion of an opinion and neither Antiquorum nor MC Luxury Auction will be liable for the accuracy of any opinion given.
Prior to the sale, potential buyers are invited to visit Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction to register by providing their contact details, identity (copy of a valid identity card or passeport) and bank guarantees. A bidder’s number will be given to all registered bidders.
Anyone bidding during the sale is deemed to be acting on his or her own behalf and is therefore personally liable. If you are bidding on behalf of a third party, it is essential that you notify Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction by providing a power of attorney, which must be registered.
The bidder acting on behalf of a third party is personally liable, in particular with regard to the obligations entered into within the context of the auction. This responsibility extends in particular to the verification of the quality of the lots purchased as well as the subsequent payment of the invoice for the lots purchased.
If interested parties cannot attend the auction, it is possible to bid directly by telephone. It is necessary to come forward at least 24 hours before the sale in order to register your bidding request by telephone. Given the limited number of telephone lines, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction reserve the right not to accept a telephone auction request. Therefore, they may not be held liable, in particular in the event of technical malfunctions or omissions and errors relating to the registration of bids by telephone.
In the event of absence at the time of the sale, interested parties may also place purchase orders (written bids). This is a free and confidential service. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction will be responsible for executing your purchase orders. It is the bidder’s responsibility to request written confirmation in order to ensure that his order has been properly registered prior to the sale. Without written confirmation, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction cannot be held liable for omissions or errors relating to the registration of purchase orders. Lots will be purchased at the best price respecting the reserve price and other bids. In the case of identical orders, the order received first will be preferred.
High value lots (identified by Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction at their sole discretion) may, unless otherwise agreed in advance, only be bid on by potential buyers who have completed a registration form for lots considered to be of high value.
The sale will be conducted in French but bids may be repeated in English.
Auctions will be conducted in euros. As an indication, a currency converter at the rate of the day of the sale (or the previous working day) may be visible during the auctions. However, only the price in euros is authoritative.
In the event that a minimum auction price, known as the “reserve price”, has been agreed between the seller and the auction house, the bailiff may bid in the name and on behalf of the latter until the reserve price has been reached.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction are entitled, at their own discretion, to withdraw, divide or group differently the lots forming part of the sale, as well as to refuse the adjudication of any of the said lots, and will not incur any liability as a result. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction reserve the right to refuse any bid at their own discretion.
In the event of a dispute or any other matter relating to the bidders, the bailiff may, at his sole discretion, determine the winning bidder, continue the bidding, cancel the sale or re-offer and put the disputed item up for sale again. Its decision shall be recorded in the minutes, which shall be authentic.
The amount of the higher bids is, as a general rule, 10 %; however, the bailiff may modify the higher bids at any time, at his own discretion. The minimum bid amount is communicated during the auction.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction are authorised to reproduce the information provided by the successful bidder prior to the sale on the auction minutes and on the bidding form. Any false indication will engage the responsibility of the successful bidder. In the event that the successful bidder has not registered before the sale, he will have to communicate the necessary information as soon as the lot has been sold.
In accordance with the law (Article 2-1 Law No. 1.014 of December 29, 1978), the Monegasque State has a right of pre-emption on works sold by public auction in the Principality of Monaco. The exercise of this right takes place immediately after the hammer blow. The preemption decision is brought to the attention of the bailiff, and the State then substitutes itself for the last bidder. The pre-emption is then mentioned in the minutes and must be confirmed within fifteen (15) days after the sale. In the absence of confirmation, the lot goes to the last bidder.
Ownership of the lots is transferred as soon as the bailiff’s hammer falls and the lot is awarded to the winning bidder. The buyer may not revoke
his acceptance of any lot after the bailiff’s hammer has fallen. The purchaser hereby accepts all risks and responsibilities associated with the lot.
In addition to the price of the final award, the successful bidder (buyer) shall pay the following commissions and taxes per lot and per degressive tranche:
• From € 1.- to €500.000.- included:
30% VAT included (25% VAT excluded)
• From €500.001 - to €5.000.000.- inclusive: 24% VAT included (20% VAT excluded)
• For all amounts above €5.000.001
15% VAT included (12.5% VAT excluded)
All lots collected in Monaco or shipped to the European Union are subject to VAT (Value Added Tax) on commission.
VAT on commission may be passed on to the successful bidder on presentation of proof of export outside the European Union for private or companies.
As Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction have opted for the VAT margin system, no documents showing VAT will be issued.
Lots exported outside the European Union are not subject to VAT on commission. Local taxes and customs duties are the responsibility of the successful bidder. These local taxes and customs duties must be paid directly at the time of delivery to the carrier in charge of dispatching the consignment. The successful bidder is responsible for the payment of all import and export duties and taxes applicable to the lots purchased.
For users of the Invaluable auction platform, additional fees will be charged (5% of the auction price). Invoices are emailed to buyers within 48 hours of the sale.
The buyer has a period of seven (7) days from the day of the sale to pay in full.
Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are subject to 20% applied to the total amount including our commission (hammer price and commission). In addition 120€ closing costs for temporary importation will be invoiced to the purchaser. VAT will be fully retroceded upon presentation of an export declaration outside Europe validated by Monegasque administration.
Lots marked with an asterisk (**) are lots of 50 years or older, with a value of 50’000 EUR or more, requiring an export license and/or an export passport, for which will apply on your behalf to the French Ministry of Culture. Note, it may take 1 to 3 month(s) to obtain this license or passport. Antiquorum (Antiquorum Genève SA, Antiquorum Auctioneer HK Ltd, MCLA, Antiquorum Auctioneer SRL) cannot be held responsible for any delays in the application process.
FOR PAYMENT (MUST BE IN EURO), THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY PAY IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
• In cash: up to €10.000 - including fees and taxes.
• By credit card Visa or MasterCard.
• By AMEX (additional charge).
• By transfer in euros to the MC Luxury Auction account.
• By cheque drawn on a French or Monegasque bank to the order of MC Luxury Auction S.A.M.,including a period of ten (10) working days before delivery of the lot (final collection time) and on presentation of proof of identity. Cheques drawn on a foreign bank are not accepted.
Payment will only be considered to have been made in full once Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction have received the funds corresponding to the amount of the purchase price and the commission due.
In the event of default by the purchaser in the payment of part or all of the purchase price for any lot, and if Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction nevertheless choose to pay the seller a part of the proceeds of the sale, the purchaser agrees that Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction shall have all the rights of the seller in respect of the amount paid, whether by law or under these terms and conditions of sale.
The transfer of ownership of the lot to the buyer takes place at the time of the auction. As soon as the auction has been pronounced (the bailiff’s hammer strike), all risks relating to the lot will be transferred in their entirety and without the slightest reservation.
For purchasers who have chosen a collection point in Monaco, the lots are available at 20, boulevard Princesse Charlotte, 98000 Monaco. An appointment must be made in advance. An identity document will also be requested when the lot is handed over.
Sold lots will be stored free of charge for a period of two months from the day of sale. After this date, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction may move the acquired lots to a storage site at the buyer’s risk and expense.
For purchasers who have chosen a collection point in Hong Kong, the lots can be sent to the office of Antiquorum Auctioneer (HK) Ltd. in Hong Kong at the request and expense of the purchaser. For purchasers who have chosen an “other” collection point, the lots can be sent to the desired address according to the shipping instructions and at the purchaser’s expense.
In the case of export outside Europe, this must be done no later than one month from the date of sale. MC Luxury Auction must appear as sender on the export document and the buyer as consignee.
The lots will only be delivered to the purchaser once the purchase price has been paid in full. Packing and shipping arrangements and the related costs are at the expense and risk of the purchaser. Once full payment has been made, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction may, as a service to the purchaser, arrange for the packaging, insurance and shipment of the lots purchased, on request and at the purchaser’s sole expense. In this case, the purchaser accepts all risks related to the packaging, handling and dispatch of the lots. Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction will not be liable for any loss or damage caused to the lots on this occasion.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction cannot be held responsible for any non-payment by the buyer and is not liable for payment to the seller.

Buyers are responsible for compliance with all applicable export and import regulations. In addition, certain items made of materials subject to CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) legislation may be subject to import restrictions in some countries. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to consult their local customs authority for information on the importation of items made from these materials.
Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction are the owners of the reproduction rights to its catalogue. Any reproduction of the latter is prohibited and constitutes an infringement to its prejudice. In addition, Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction have an exemption allowing them to reproduce in their catalogue the works offered for sale, even if the reproduction right has not fallen into the public domain. Any reproduction of the Antiquorum and MC Luxury Auction catalogue may therefore constitute an illicit reproduction of a work exposing its author to infringement proceedings by the holder of the rights to the work.

In the event of incompatibility of any In the event of incompatibility of any information or provision of the catalogue with these terms and conditions of sale, only the terms and conditions of sale shall be binding.
Each of the provisions of these terms and conditions are independent of each other. The nullity of one provision shall not result in the non-applicability of the others.
The sale and the present general terms and conditions of sale are governed by Monegasque law. Any dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Principality of Monaco.

With a view to always providing a higher standard of service to its clientele, Antiquorum has introduced a grading system within its auction catalogues, providing immediate and detailed information on the condition of each lot offered for sale.
With the assistance of the Antiquorum Grading System, clients will have immediate answers to their questions regarding the condition of each lot, and will no longer need to find the time to request condition reports. In addition, with the
Experts’ Overall Opinion, clients will benefit from the advice of Antiquorum’s experts as each lot is given a grade based on its overall appreciation.
Although every effort has been made to remain objective, clients are nonetheless advised that any grading or condition report will, of necessity, be subjective.
Clients are reminded that all statements made in the Antiquorum Grading System, in
the Experts’ Overall Opinion or in any other condition report for any lot, are provided for information only and should not be considered as a guarantee of any sort.
Such information is given as an opinion for which Antiquorum cannot be held responsible. Furthermore, Antiquorum cannot be held responsible for any misrepresentations or incomplete information regarding the condition of any lot.
The lots described in this catalogue have been carefully examined and valued by Antiquorum’s experts and watchmakers, taking into consideration the aesthetic, historical and technical interest, age and rarity, as well as the technology available at the time of production of each timepiece.
For such judgment to be as objective as possible, it must rest on a number of criteria, particularly with regards to the age of a lot. Indeed, a wristwatch of less than 50 years old cannot be judged with the same criteria as a Renaissance watch. This is the reason why some of the gradings will only qualify for certain types of watches and will never be used for others.
For example, if, as a general rule, watches can be attributed gradings from 1 to 4 for the case, the dial and the movement, watches of less than 100 years old can be given grading 1 (as new), 3 (in very good condition), or 4 (in good condition).
The latter, (grading 4), will be followed by one or more grading numbers to justify why the lot cannot be considered “in very good condition”. On the other hand, watches over 100 years old, of similar condition, would indeed be considered as “very good” because of their age and would therefore qualify for grading 3. Needless to say, watches over 100 years old, even in the best state of conservation for their age, are unlikely to ever be considered “as new” and would therefore never be eligible for grading 1; for this reason, we have introduced grading 2 (in perfect condition).
At the end of each lot description, before the estimate, you will find a condition report box, with letters and numbers, divided into 3 sections: these are the grades given to the lot with reference to the condition of its case, its dial and hands, and its movement. To understand the grades shown in the condition report box, consult the Antiquorum Grading System as follows:
C for the CASE , followed by one or more numbers = condition of case
D for the DIAL (& hands), followed by one or more numbers = condition of dial & hands
M for the MOVEMENT, followed by one or more numbers = condition of movement
Next to this condition report box, is an experts’ grading box featuring one letter, from to B, as an overall grade. This overall grade is the opinion of Antiquorum’s experts, as a global appreciation of the lot, based on its general condition, quality, technical and historical interest, age and rarity. On this basis, it must be understood that a very early timepiece, a prototype or a watch featuring a rare escapement, although it may be in a mediocre state of conservation, even re-cased or lacking its dial, can qualify for gradings AAA or even
To understand the grade shown in the experts’ grading box, consult the Experts’ Overall Opinion.
Potential buyers should be aware that all water-resistant/water-proof watches have been opened and as such buyers should have the watch inspected in regards to these attribute. A watch’s current state of resistance is NOT reflected in the condition report.
