Pour nos premières enchères genevoises de l’année 2019, nous sommes fiers de vous annoncer notre nouvelle collaboration avec l’hôtel Beau Rivage où vous aurez le plaisir de nous rencontrer pour nos prochaines ventes. C’est un lieu unique chargé d’histoire qui a vu passé les plus grandes personnalités des XIXe et XXe siècle, telles que l’Impératrice Elizabeth « Sissi », Eleanor Roosevelt, Jacques Brel et bien d’autres. Nous sommes impatients d’avoir l’opportunité d’être accueillis dans un si beau cadre ! C’est une joie d’autant plus importante que c’est un établissement avec lequel nous partageons de nombreuses valeurs : deux entreprises qui, fortes de leur passé, sont tournées résolument vers l’avenir. Encore une fois, Antiquorum affirme sa place de plus ancienne maison de vente aux enchères spécialisée dans l’horlogerie au travers de deux jours de vente. Les lots que nous présenterons, répartis en cinq sessions, sont une belle illustration tant de l’histoire de l’horlogerie que du savoir-faire des grandes manufactures d’aujourd’hui. La première est une collection extraordinaire de pièces historiques. Témoin de la maestria de trois hommes, Jaquet-Droz père et fils, ainsi que Leschot, un des plus beaux éléments de cette vente est une superbe amphore à oiseaux chanteurs de 1795. Maître horloger accompli, Pierre Jaquet-Droz était spécialisé dans les créations animées qui mettaient en scène un oiseau, souvent à taille réelle, produisant au sein de cages richement décorées des mélodies variées. Ce ne sont pas seulement les objets horlogers que nous avons pris l’habitude de vous présenter, mais également tous les objets mécanisés et parmi eux une superbe tabatière à musique attribuable à Piguet & Cap, de 1805, dont le tableau émaillé fut probablement peint par Lissignol. Un très beau lot au sein des objets de vertus de ce catalogue. Parmi les montres de poches vous devez vous attardez sur une pièce remarquable, peut-être même unique : une Omega en or jaune émaillée. L’émail est dit « plique à jour », c’est-à-dire appliqué sans fond métallique : une véritable prouesse technique ! Dans un deuxième temps, afin de célébrer les 150 ans de la manufacture, nous vous proposerons une collection exceptionnelle d’IWC dont une Portugaise avec un magnifique cadran noir et son bracelet Gay Frères. La troisième session correspond à notre toute première vente « d’instruments d’écriture » composée notamment de Namiki et de Montblanc. Parmi ces pièces de collection, vous trouverez notamment un superbe stylo Dunhill/Namiki dit « Hannya », sans doute le seul exemplaire encore existant réalisé par Gonroku Matsuda. Dans le cadre de notre vente « Important modern & vintage timepieces », comprenant les deux dernières sessions, nous sommes heureux de pouvoir offrir aux enchères des pièces d’exception reflétant la haute-horlogerie moderne et contemporaine telles que trois Patek Philippe, une référence 5004 en or rose, une référence 3974 en or jaune et une référence 6102 en platine. Dans l’air du vent et plus sportives, nous aurons également deux très belles Nautilus et une Aquanaute « Prototype ». Quant à la manufacture à la couronne, elle se distingue par deux très beaux Daytona, le premier vintage est une référence 6240 avec l’emblématique cadran exotique dit « Paul Newman », et la seconde, plus moderne, est un 16520, première référence Daytona avec un mouvement automatique, possédant un très rare cadran porcelaine signé Tiffany. « Nous sommes fiers d’avoir rassemblé cette sélection très riche qui met en lumière toute la virtuosité de l’histoire de l’horlogerie. En bénéficiant de l’écrin du Beau-Rivage, qui plus est, nous sommes assurés que ces deux journées de ventes resteront dans les annales ». First of all, we are thrilled to organize our next Geneva Auctions in a new hotel, The Beau Rivage to celebrate our first of our 2019 Geneva auctions. It is a unique place filled with history, where so many great names stayed, such as the Empress Elisabeth, Eleanor Roosevelt or Jacques Brel. We are so eager to welcome you in such a beautiful setting! We are even more delighted because of all the strong common values we all share: two firms faithful to their past while resolutely moving forward to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Once again, Antiquorum’s undeniable strength as the oldest horological firm is reaffirmed. The lots we have been entrusted with are a wonderful illustration of the horological history as well as the savoir-faire of modern manufacturers. Witnesses of this art are 2 men, Pierre Jaquet-Droz and Leschot, that manufactured some of the most beautiful art pieces ever made, such as lot 35, a singing bird enamel amphora clock made in 1788. Pierre Jaquet Droz, a master watchmaker, was specialized in animated creations such as singing birds, often in real-size, animated within highly decorated cages with delightful music. It is not only horological items in which we have specialised but also mechanical objects such as the beautiful musical snuff box made by Piguet & Capt (lot 34) with one of the finest enamel ever made by Lissigol. One of the few objects presented in this exceptional British collection that has stayed hidden away since its purchase at auction in the 1960’s. Among some of the wonderful pocket watched offered, a probably unique Omega chronograph pocket watch by enamel using the “Plique à Jour” technique, applied without a metallic back, a real proof of craftsmanship. That collection will be followed by another exceptional offering of a private Swiss collector that focused on IWC timepieces only over a period of 20 years including wonderful examples of the original large size IWC Portuguese wristwatch, one with a silver dial and the other fitted with a black dial and mounted on a Gay Freres bracelet. The third session of the first day will feature our first pen collection with Namiki and Montblanc. Among these, we will offer the superb and important Dunhill/Namiki so called “Hannya”, most probably the only example remaining made by Gonroku Matsuda. On our May 12th sale, We are also delighted to offer exceptional modern timepieces, from Patek Philippe, such as a reference 3974, a pink gold 5004 and a platinum Celestial reference 6102. For steel aficionados, we will present near mint examples of a platinum 3800, 2 steel 3700’s, one retailed by Beyer and a prototype Aquanaut with power reserve. From Rolex, 2 near mint examples of Daytonas will be offered, one being a Paul Newman dialled reference 6240, the other a modern version of the Daytona reference 16520 retailed by Tiffany with a porcelain dial and all its accessories. “We are proud to have assembled a varied and rich selection of items that reflect the craftsmanship and the ingenuity of the history of watchmaking. With the Beau Rivage hotel as a background, we are insured that these 2 days will be long remembered.

SHORT STORY OF NAMIKI AND HIS FOUNDER Patent number 247.038 issued on 22 April 1925, brought its holder, Ryosuke Namiki, subject of the Emperor of Japan, a resident of number 1693 Miyashita, Sugamo Machi, Tokyo prefecture into Art history. Little did the patent clerk, or even the author of the text, mundanely entitled “ improvements in methods of working upon surfaces of ebonite and other vulcanized rubber articles “, suspect that it would herald a veritable renaissance in the ancestral art of maki-e. So, who was Ryosuke Namiki? Born in 1880, he graduated with honours from the Merchant Marine college, to which he returned as a professor after a spell as chief engineer at Mitsui Bussan Maritime Company. During his time as a teacher Namiki developed an interest in writing implements. The Japaneese used a brush to write ideograms, and fountain pens recently introduced into the archipelago, were not a great success: they were neither flexible enough nor fine enough to draw Japaneese characters, and they tended to clog up. On 14 June 1909, Namiki filed the first patent for an improved drawing pen. But he was chiefly interested in fountain pens and wanted to create nibs of gold and iridium that would reduce friction on the page. In 1914, he discovered an iridium mine on the Japaneese island of Hokkaido, brought it and set up a factory that produced gold nibs with an iridium tip. In august 1915 he finally resigned from teaching to found his own company, the Namiki Manufacturing Company, in Tokyo. Like many small business owners, Namiki required financial backing. He found it with Masao Wada a former colleague from the Merchant Marine College, who promptly invested 5000 yen in the business. In January 1918 Namiki established a new company, the Namiki Manufacturing Co Ltd

and registered the trademarks of Namiki and Pilot. The latter was only to be used later, exclusively in Japan. A new technical challenge soon presented itself. Ebonite, the resin used to make the barrels and caps of pens, deteriorates in humid conditions. It loses its black gloss and turns an ugly shade of greenish brown. It also scratches easily. The material is ill-suited to the marine climate of Japan, where humidity is at 60 to 80 percent all year long. For this reason, in 1925, Namiki Manufacturing Co Ltd developed and patented a new process, creating a new material known as laccanite, by which a chemical solution containing urushi is applied to protect ebonite. Namiki proudly advertised his Black Pen as retaining it’s high gloss regardless of atmospheric conditions, even after long exposure to light, heat and humidity. It was guaranted for 30 years. Many major corporations attempted to buy Namiki’s patent but he turned then all down. Namiki was keen to exploit his invention himself. Laccanite was, however, not enough to secure Namiki as a foothold in the European and American markets, which were already dominated by Onoto, Swan, Parker and Waterman. A new idea was required. Why not use technique of maki-e, which had made the fortune of artists in the Edo era, to decorate the pens ? Namiki lost no time and consultated a leading authority, Shisui Rokkaku, a professor of the art of lacquer at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts, who thrilled by the project, entrusted two artists, Kohoh Lida and Shogo Lijima with the making of a number of prototypes. Still in 1925, as soon as the first pen samples were ready, Ryosuke Namiki and Masa Wada undertook the long journey to Europe, the United States, Shangai and Singapore. They returned with their first orders from prestigious clients such as Cartier in Paris, Asprey in London and Tiffany in New York. One year later Namiki opened outlets in London, New York Singapore and Shangai, and launched a major advertising campaign. Orders came pouring in, faster than expected. So as to handle this success, Namiki decided to hire the full time services of Gonroku Matsuda, a former student
of Professor Rokkaku. Aged 30 at the time, Matsuda was already considered a genius in the art of lacquer, which he had been studying since the age of seven. The brief he received from Namiki was that of artistic director : he was asked to choose and train the artists and select motifs for the décors. Matsuda drew much of his inspiration from the late 18th century illustrations showing nature in Japan, its flora and fauna, as well as scenes that reflected the country ‘s customs and traditions. But he streamlined them with the simplicity of his brush stroke, ridding them of qll that was superfluous or arcane. Matsuda, a committed patriot, sincerely believed that maki-e was an excellent vehicle for the export of Japaneese culture. He founded an association of lacquer artists. Kokko Kai ( Group od the Lightsd of the Nation), whose purpose it was to study the techniques and styles of lacquer and promote them internationally . In 1931, the group numbered close to 100 artists. Many competitors, such as The Platinum Pen Society and Sailor, tried to imitate Namiki pens, but never succeeded in equaling their quality or reputation. Namiki was alone in benefiting from an international network, thanks to his partnership with the celebrated manufacture, distributor and retailer, Alfred Dunhill Limited. Namiki was also the only company to have such a talented artist as Gonroku Matsuda working for them. Matsuda only remained with Namiki as a full-time employee from November 1926 to September 1927. Two reasons, compelled him to leave : the offer of the position of assistant professor at the Tokyo School of Fine Art and the commission to make the sheath of a ritual sword for the coronation of Emperor Hirohito. Nevertheless, he continued working as Namiki’s art director for the rest of his life, and his influence has endured. In a way, every Namiki pen bears his signature. Namiki pens ( Namiki, Pilot Namiki and Dunhill Namiki ) are now considered by all the pen’s collector community as the ultimate writing instrument.

This museum piece is unique and comes from the most known collection of the world. It’s definitely the greatest and most legendary Dunhill Namiki pen. Believed to be the only surviving example of a pen performed by Gonroku Matsuda. Most famous master of this history of Namiki who found the Kokkokai school. The pen is published on the famous cover of the bible pens collectors “The art of japaneese lacquer pens“ written by Julia Hutt and Stephen Overbury. In 2002, Dunhill decided to re-edit this mythical pen and asked the famous makie artist Kyusai Yoshida to make 25 pieces based on the design of Gonroku Matsuda. This emperor flat top became one of the biggest success of the Namiki modern collection. Inspired by the “Nonomiya“ story of “The Tale of Genji“ a classic of Japaneese Kabuki theatre, this pen features the mask of the celebrated female daemon, Hannya, a rictus of hate and jealously on her face, a tsuzumi celebration drum and a scattering of maple leaves, Momiji. The Hannya pen is considered by all the pens collectors community like as the absolute grail, the ultimate pen.

MONTBLANC History 170
SESSION 1
1906, Three well-adivsed partners got the brand off the ground: the Hamburg merchant Claus-Johannes Voss, the engineer August Eberstein and the banker Alfred Nehemias. They had just discovered the existence of a new fountain pen with its own built-in ink container, which at the time was a huge step forward. The three visionaries set up their factory in the Schanzen district of Hamburg, Germany and started making these easyto-use fountain pens. They wanted to produce them in small quantities, but striving for the highest quality. The company was called Simplo Filler Pen Company. In 1908, they launched their first collection of fountain pens “The Red and the Black”. They are black ebonite with a red cap. This pen fast became successful. The “ads” of the time praise its qualities: the fountain pen that no longer stains! ... For the first time, the new pen is named Montblanc, after the majestic snowy summit whose six glaciers form a red star when seen from the sky which it sports as a logo on the cap. This name is registered as a registered trademark, and the pen becomes so successful that the Simplo Filler Pen Company becomes Montblanc Simplo GMBH. The brand starts turning towards the rest of the world, especially in Europe. 1924, The Meisterstück gave the brand legendary status. This was the year that the brand began its major breakthrough by creating the Meisterstück which means “master piece” in German. This timeless pen is fascinating. It is a revolution in the writing industry and the number 4810 is written on the pen, the height of Mont Blanc as measured at the
time. Raised to the status of an art object, this legendary pen became part of the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art. The 80s represent the peak of the model, with ever more invaluable variations. The most famous pen from the Meisterstück collection is the 149. It reaches the level of supreme luxury in its Meisterstück Solitaire Royal version set with 4810 individually carved diamonds of 35 facets. The 149 very quickly became the emblem of writers and politicians, the sign of recognition of an elite. 1987 Its diversification anchors Montblanc in the luxury industry: the pen manufacturer embarks on work on leather goods. The challenge: to uphold the values of its origins, its culture, its power and its know-how without tarnishing its image. Ten years later, Montblanc releases its first watches, made from the craftsmanship of Swiss master watchmakers. 2003, Starwalker enshrines Montblanc in modernity. This pen represents a new generation of writing invented by Montblanc. Between the traditional values of know-how inherent to the brand and the most innovative design, Montblanc offers the most contemporary luxury pen developed under the most rigorous manufacturing standards. For over 100 years, Montblanc has been the leader in the market for writing implements. But the success of the legendary Meisterstück has not stopped the brand from constantly renewing itself and continuing to amaze, more inventive than ever.

IMPORTANT NOTICES STATEMENT OF CONDITION Antiquorum provides descriptions of watches and clocks and their condition in this catalogue as a service to prospective buyers. Any such description or condition are statements of opinion for general guidance and should not be treated as statements of fact. All lots are sold “AS IS” at the moment of “knockdown” and cannot be returned on the grounds that repairs have been made or parts supplied by anyone than the named makers. All watches shall be viewed personally to evaluate their condition prior to the auction. Although we endeavor to mention in our descriptions significant defects, needed repairs, absent stones and the like, we do not guarantee that the descriptions are comprehensive. Please note that descriptions may not specify all mechanical defects, replacement of original parts, or authenticity of individual component parts (such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets, buckles, deployant clasps and leather bands since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted without Antiquorum’s knowledge.) Furthermore, we make no judgments as to whether diamond
dials or diamond bezels originated at the factory or are later additions. We do not guarantee the accuracy or operation of any watch function such as timekeeping, chronograph, calendar, repeat or register. Buyers are advised that boxes, certificates or any other accessories are not available unless stated otherwise. The dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions are overall tip-to-tip and most often include the lugs. Buyers of water-resistant and waterproof watches are strongly encouraged to have such watches inspected by a competent watchmaker of their choice upon purchase since these watches have been opened by the Antiquorum watch experts during cataloging. Watches may not be taken apart whilst on view without consent of Antiquorum’s watch experts. Antiquorum will accept requests for condition reports with additional photographs via email at geneva@antiquorum.swiss. To best accommodate any requests, please submit all inquiries no later than two days prior to the sale date. Kindly limit the number of requests to the lots of serious interest. Antiquorum shall have no responsibility for any error or omission in the condition
reports and may not specify all mechanical replacements, imperfections, repairs, restorations or the effects of aging in the movement, case or dial. • Antiquorum Geneva now takes credit cards as payment for lots won at auction. • 1.8% service charge for MasterCard and Visa and 2.59% charge for American Express. • For buyers having paid by credit card, a shipping delay of 3 to 7 working days may apply in order to do additional controls.

THE AUCTION CATALOGUE
{ printed or online }
THE BUYER Lot descriptions provide technical data carefully compiled by our experts for each lot in the sale and are often enhanced by historical or bio graphical comments. • Estimates are listed at the end of each lot description and are an indication of the price range the lot is expected to fetch. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or sales tax. • An estimate indicated by three stars ***, advises clients to contact Antiquorum for more information. • Condition Reports are given for each lot in the catalogue based on a grading system developed by Antiquorum’s experts. This grading system is explained at the end of the auction catalogue. • Buyers are advised to read the Conditions of Sale (at the end of the auction catalogue or online) and Important Notices (at the beginning of the auction catalogue or online) before bidding at auction. • Auction catalogue can be viewed at www.antiquorum.swiss . REGISTERING TO BID IN THE TRADITIONAL AUCTION Each client wishing to bid at auction is required to register at the latest two hours before the sale. Clients may register the morning of the sale, beginning at 9:00 a.m., at the auction venue. Clients will be able to pick up their bidding paddles on the day of the sale, prior to the auction, just outside the saleroom. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM Los offered for sale are auctioned in numerical order as they appear in the catalogue. The lot being auctioned is announced by the auctioneer, as well as shown live or illustrated on a screen at the front of the saleroom. Bidders are advised to have the auction catalogue to hand during the sale for reference. ABSENTEE BIDDING [WRITTEN BIDS] If you are unable to bid in person at the auction, you can submit an absentee or written bid.

This service is free of charge and Antiquorum’s staff will execute the bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the reserve and other bids. Antiquorum cannot be held responsible for errors, omissions or late-arriving bids. In the event that two identical bids are received, the first bid received by Antiquorum will take precedence. It is very important that the bidder lists a daytime telephone number in case any part of the bid form is unclear. It is advisable to send the bid form in good time before the auction, especially in the case of new buyers, whose bank references will be checked. Bids submitted in a foreign currency will be converted to CHF using the exchange rate on the day of the sale.
prospective buyers are encouraged to view and examine lots offered for sale prior to making their purchases.

CONDITIONS DE VENTE La présente vente aux enchères est une vente aux enchères publique tenue par la maison Antiquorum Genève SA (ci-après : Antiquorum). 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. Sauf en cas d’amendement effectués à la seule et entière discrétion d’Antiquorum, par affichage d’avis ou par annonce orale pendant la vente aux enchères ou de tout autre manière, ces Condition de vente, les Avis Importants, ainsi que le contenu du catalogue constituent une description complète des conditions générales par lesquelles la vente aux enchères est conduite, et ne pourront être amendées, à l’exception d’une décision écrite d’Antiquorum. Sauf décision écrite contraire d’Antiquorum, ces Conditions de vente s’appliqueront aux ventes aux enchères ainsi qu’aux autres ventes conduites par Antiquorum. Antiquorum agit exclusivement comme mandataire et n'assume donc aucune responsabilité quelconque 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 judiciaire de la république et du canton de Genève (ci-après : l’Huissier). L’Huissier lira les clauses essentielles avant le commencement des enchères. Les présentes conditions sont à disposition de tous intéressés. Elles sont affichées dans le local des ventes pendant la durée de la vente. Seule la présente version française des Conditions de vente fait foi.
1.LOTS MIS EN VENTE Les lots pourront être examinés avant la vente aux heures listées dans le catalogue. Toutes personnes intéressées à l’achat d’un quelconque lot, dont notamment les représentants et les agents d’affaire sont réputés avoir examiné avec soins tous les lots achetés et les avoir acceptés dans leur état au moment de l’adjudication, et non nécessairement tels que décrits dans des communications écrites ou orales. Ces personnes intéressées devront être responsable d’un examen personnel des lots afin de confirmer leur condition actuelle. Tous les lots sont vendus « tel quel » selon leur état au moment de l’adjudication. Chaque acquéreur déclare accepter qu’il est de sa responsabilité d’inspecter chacun des lots avant d’enchérir et par la présente déclare que les montants enchéris sont basés uniquement sur leur inspection et leur évaluation indépendantes des lots. Antiquorum a 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 a jugé à son entière discrétion comme appropriées selon les circonstances. Antiquorum n’encourra 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. Ni Antiquorum, ni les vendeurs ne pourront être tenus responsables d’erreurs ou d’omission dans le catalogue ou toute publicité ou autre matériel écrit, étant précisé qu’aucune description ou déclaration ne constitue une garantie d’aucune sorte, et n’est donné qu’à titre indicatif. Sauf indication contraire dans le catalogue, les lots sont soumis à des prix de réserve, soit des prix minimum confidentiels auxquels les vendeurs sont prêts à vendre. Si le prix de réserve n’est pas atteint, l’Huissier pourra retirer le lot de la vente. L’Huissier pourra ouvrir l’enchère d’un lot en enchérissant sous le prix de réserve pour le compte du vendeur. L'Huissier pourra également enchérir pour le compte du vendeur jusqu'à concurrence des prix de réserve fixés, par des enchères successives ou consécutives pour un lot, ou par des enchères en réponse aux autres enchérisseurs. À l’exception de la garantie limitée décrite au point 2 ci-dessous, tous les lots sont vendus sans aucune garantie ou déclaration expresse ou implicite de la part d’Antiquorum ou du vendeur quant à la qualité marchande, l’utilisation particulière, la rareté, l’importance, l’exactitude des indications concernant l’auteur, le fabricant, l’origine, époque, âge, attribution, authenticité, la provenance, le poids ou l’état d’un objet. De même, aucune déclaration (qu’elle soit orale ou écrite, faite dans le catalogue, une publicité, un acte de vente, publiée, annoncée ou d’autre façon) faite par un employé ou un agent d’Antiquorum ne pourra être interprétée comme étant une garantie, une déclaration ou une assomption de responsabilité. Ni Antiquorum ni le vendeur ne sera responsable de la détérioration ou du défaut d’un quelconque lot. 2.GARANTIE LIMITÉE Sauf stipulation contraire du paragraphe suivant, Antiquorum garantit que dès l’accomplissement de la vente d’un quelconque lot en vertu des Conditions de vente de ce catalogue, la propriété, les intérêts, et les droits de ce lot seront transmis à l’acquéreur libre de tout droit de tiers. Antiquorum garantit pour une période d’une (1) année depuis la date de la vente que la paternité de chaque lot est conforme aux indications en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales de ce catalogue. Antiquorum ne donne aucune garantie d’aucune sorte, implicite ou expresse, concernant les descriptions d’un quelconque matériel du catalogue qui ne serait pas
en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales. Antiquorum ne garantit pas que tous les composants d’une montre soient ses composants originels. L’acquéreur ne disposera cependant d’aucune garantie si les descriptions contenues dans le catalogue correspondaient avec l’opinion dominante des spécialistes ou des experts au moment de la vente, ou que le catalogue indiquait qu’un conflit entre ces opinions existait. La garantie est donnée pour une période d’une (1) année depuis la date de la vente aux enchères durant laquelle le lot a été acquis. Cette garantie n’est donnée qu’à l’acquéreur originel dont le nom est consigné au registre de ventes et n’est en aucun cas transférable. Pour l’exercice de la garantie concernant une description en caractères gras ou en lettres capitales, l’acquéreur originel devra (i) en informer Antiquorum par courrier recommandé dans les 7 jours suivant la prise de connaissance d’une quelconque information lui suggérant qu’il existe une imprécision dans les descriptions en caractères gras ou lettres capitales, en spécifiant le numéro de lot, la date de la vente aux enchères durant laquelle le lot fut acquis, ainsi que les raisons le poussant à douter desdites descriptions, et (ii) réexpédier le lot à Antiquorum à l’adresse à laquelle la vente a été effectuée, et ce dans les mêmes conditions qu’alors acquis, libre de tout droit de tiers postérieur à la vente. Antiquorum pourra renoncer à l’une de ces exigences à son entière discrétion. Il est particulièrement compris et accepté que l’annulation de la vente et le remboursement du prix de vente payé (le prix d’adjudication gagnant ainsi que la commission acheteur) est exclusive et en lieu et place d’un quelconque autre moyen de droit à disposition de l’acquéreur. Antiquorum et le vendeur n’assumeront aucune responsabilité pour toute perte ou dommage indirect de quelque nature que ce soit et pour quelque cause que ce soit, y compris les intérêts et le gain manqué, découlant de l’annulation de la vente. A l’exception de la garantie limitée décrite cidessus, Antiquorum et le vendeur ne donnent aucune garantie concernant les lots vendus en vertu des présentes Conditions de vente. 3.L A VENTE AUX ENCHÈRES La vente sera conduite en français mais les enchères pourront être répétées en anglais. Le prix d’achat à payer par l’acquéreur sera constitué du prix d’adjudication final majoré de la commission acheteur, en sus de toute taxe de vente applicable. Au prix d’adjudication final s’ajoutera une commission acheteur de : 25% du prix d’adjudication de chaque lot jusqu’à concurrence de CHF 100'000.-, de 20% de CHF 100’001 à CHF 1'500’000 et de 12% à partir de CHF 1'500'001. Antiquorum est en droit selon sa libre appréciation de retirer, de diviser ou grouper différemment les lots faisant partie de la vente ainsi que de refuser l'adjudication de n'importe lequel desdits lots, et n’encourra aucune responsabilité de ce fait. Antiquorum se réserve le droit de refuser selon sa 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 le procèsverbal, lequel fait foi. Le montant des surenchères est en règle général 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. 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. Bien qu’Antiquorum puisse à son entière discrétion exécuter des ordres d’enchères de personnes absentes (ordres d’enchères écrits laissés à disposition d’Antiquorum avant la vente) ou accepter des enchères par téléphone ou des enchères par internet à titre de commodité pour les clients non présents lors de la vente, Antiquorum n’encourra aucune responsabilité en cas d’échec, d’erreur ou d’omission relatives à l’exécution d’un ordre d’enchères. Les lots de haute valeur (identifiés par Antiquorum à son 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. 4.PAIEMENT La propriété des lots devra être transmise dès la tombée du marteau de l’Huissier adjugeant le lot à l’enchérisseur gagnant, sous réserve du respect des présentes Conditions de vente par l’acquéreur, et notamment du paiement intégral du prix d’achat. 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’entier des risques et responsabilités liés au lot. L’acquéreur devra s’acquitter de l’entier du prix d’adjudication final, de la commission et de toute taxe, en Francs suisses, en utilisant une des méthodes de paiement considérée comme acceptable par Antiquorum (dont notamment la monnaie suisse, virement bancaire, bulletin de paiement). Les devises étrangères pourront être acceptées au taux du jour déterminé par Antiquorum. Les lots ne seront livrés à l’acquéreur qu’une fois le prix d’achat intégralement versé. Les modalités d’emballage et d’expédition ainsi que les frais y afférant sont aux frais et aux risques de l’acquéreur. Une fois le paiement intégral effectué, Antiquorum pourra, en guise de service à l’acquéreur, faire emballer, assurer et expédier les lots acquis, sur demande et au seuls frais de l’acquéreur. Dans ce cas, l’acquéreur accepte l’entier des risques liés à l’emballage, la manutention ainsi qu’à l’expédition des lots. Antiquorum n’encourra aucune responsabilité pour toute perte ou dommage causé aux lots à cette occasion. Antiquorum pourra déplacer les lots acquis dans un site de stockage aux risques de l’acquéreur. L’acquéreur devra payer toutes les taxes applicables ou émoluments prélevés par toute autorité (à moins qu’Antiquorum ne reçoive des preuves qu’elle considère comme satisfaisantes de l’exemption). La TVA de 7,7% est due sur tous les achats. La TVA sera entièrement remboursée sur présentation d’une déclaration d’exportation validée par l’administration fédérale des douanes suisse. Il est expressément accepté que le vendeur ne recevra le paiement pour un lot qu’une fois qu’Antiquorum aura reçu le paiement intégral de l’acquéreur, dont notamment les commissions liées audit lot ainsi que les frais administratifs et de manutention. 5.MOYENS DE DROIT, DROIT APPLICABLE ET FOR En cas d’incompatibilité d’une quelconque information ou disposition du catalogue avec les présentes Conditions de vente, seules les Conditions de vente feront foi. Si l’acquéreur reste en défaut avec les obligations découlant des présentes Conditions de vente, Antiquorum sera en droit de (en complément de tout autre moyen à disposition d’Antiquorum en vertu de la loi), (i) mettre en demeure l’acquéreur de payer le prix d’achat ; (ii) annuler la vente ; (iii) revendre le lot sans aucune réserve à la vente aux enchères ou par vente privée sur préavis dans les 7 jours à l’acquéreur ; (iv) payer au vendeur un montant égal au produit net de la vente selon le montant enchéri par l’acquéreur en défaut, et ensuite revendre le lot à un tiers sans aucune réserve à la vente aux enchères ou par vente privée dans les 15 jours sur préavis écrit à un tel acquéreur ; ou, (v) retourner le lot au vendeur, pour autant que 45 jours se soient écoulés et qu’aucun paiement n’ait été reçu de la part de l’acquéreur ; ou (vi) prendre toute autre mesure qu’Antiquorum jugera nécessaire ou appropriée. En cas de revente du lot par Antiquorum en vertu de la clause (iii) ou (iv) ci-dessus, l’acquéreur en défaut sera tenu de payer toute différence négative entre le prix d’achat et le montant obtenu après revente, de même que tous frais et coûts, y compris d’administration, de manutention, d’assurance, de stockage, les dépenses liées aux deux ventes, honoraires d’avocats, commissions, dommages fortuits, ainsi que toute charge due selon les présentes Conditions de vente. Si l’acquéreur paie une portion du prix d’achat pour un ou tous les lots achetés, Antiquorum pourra attribuer le montant reçu au lot ou aux lots selon sa libre appréciation, tel que jugé approprié.
Tout acquéreur en défaut avec les obligations découlant des présentes Conditions de vente sera réputé avoir conféré à Antiquorum un droit de gage sur la totalité des lots gardés par Antiquorum dont l’acquéreur est propriétaire, que ces lots soient destinés à la vente ou acquis avant, pendant et/ou après la présente vente aux enchères. Ce gage garantit le remboursement de tout montant dû en capital, intérêts, commissions et frais éventuels, de même que tout dommage supporté par Antiquorum. Antiquorum est autorisée, mais non obligée, à réaliser les gages sans autres formalités et sans préavis si l'acquéreur est en demeure pour le paiement de sa dette ou l'exécution d'une obligation quelconque. Antiquorum pourra dans tous les cas réaliser les gages de gré à gré. A cet effet, elle n'est pas tenue d'observer les formalités prévues par la Loi fédérale sur la poursuite pour dette et la faillite; Antiquorum est libre en outre d'introduire ou de continuer une poursuite ordinaire, sans avoir préalablement réalisé les gages et sans renoncer pour autant à ceux-ci. Le paiement ne sera considéré comme effectué intégralement qu’une fois qu’Antiquorum aura obtenu des fonds satisfaisants. En cas de défaut de l’acquéreur dans le paiement d’une partie ou de la totalité du prix d’achat pour un quelconque lot, et si Antiquorum choisi pour autant de payer au vendeur une partie du produit de la vente, l’acquéreur accepte qu’Antiquorum disposera de tous les droits du vendeur relatifs à la somme versée, selon la loi ou les présentes Conditions de vente. L’unique et exclusif moyen de droit de l’acquéreur à l’encontre d’Antiquorum et du vendeur consiste en l’annulation de la vente et au remboursement du prix payé pour le lot. L’acquéreur perd tout autre droit découlant de la loi, et Antiquorum ou le vendeur n’assumera aucune responsabilité pour une quelconque perte ou dommage subi par l’acquéreur. La participation à la vente aux enchères, en personne ou au moyen d’un agent ou d’un représentant, par ordre d’enchères, téléphone, internet et ou tout autre moyen, implique l’adhésion totale de l’acquéreur à ce qui suit : ces Conditions de vente ainsi que tous les rapports juridiques qui en découlent seront soumis au Droit interne suisse exclusivement (en faisant abstraction des règles de conflit de loi et à l’exclusion des traités internationaux). Tous litiges, différends ou prétentions découlant des présentes Conditions de vente ou se rapportant à celles-ci, y compris la validité, la nullité, d'éventuelles violations ou la résiliation de celles-ci, seront exclusivement tranchées par les tribunaux du canton de Genève en Suisse, le recours au Tribunal fédéral étant réservé. L’acquéreur s’engage par la présente irrévocablement et inconditionnellement à lever toute objection concernant le dépôt d’une action auprès desdits tribunaux, et consent à s’abstenir de plaider ou de revendiquer l'incompétence de ces tribunaux. Dans tous les cas, Antiquorum se réserve le droit de poursuivre tout acquéreur défaillant à son lieu de résidence, auquel cas le Droit suisse reste applicable. • Le fait qu’une partie n’ait pas exigée le respect ou l’exécution d’une des dispositions des présentes Conditions de vente ne signifiera en aucun cas que cette partie ait renoncé au bénéfice de cette disposition, ni n’affectera la validité en tout ou partie des présentes Conditions de vente ou le droit de demander l’exécution de chacune des disposition. • Si une des parties ou disposition de ces Conditions de vente s’avère nulle, les autres dispositions de ces Conditions de vente resteront valables et continueront à lier les parties, et les dispositions ou parties qui apparaîtront nulles ne pourront être amendées ou modifiées plus que le strict nécessaire à leur validité et resteront aussi proche que possible de leur sens initial.

1.LOTS OFFERED FOR SALE Before the sale, all lots may be examined at the exhibition times listed in the catalogue. All interested persons including, without limitation, bidder’s representatives and auction agents are understood to have examined all lots which they purchase and to accept them as they are at the moment of the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer and not necessarily as described in any written material or oral communications. Those persons interested in purchasing any of the lots being sold shall be responsible for examining the lots personally to confirm their actual condition. All lots are sold “as is” according to their condition at the moment of the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. Buyer acknowledges that it is the responsibility of buyer to fully inspect each lot before bidding and hereby represents that the amounts bid for any lot are based solely on buyer’s own independent inspection and evaluation of that lot. Antiquorum has included in the catalogue estimates of the value of the lots to be sold. Such estimates have been developed using such experts, tests and other methods as Antiquorum has deemed in its sole discretion to be appropriate under the circumstances. Antiquorum shall have no liability whatsoever relating to estimates of value attributed to the lots and all participants in the auction shall be responsible for reaching their own conclusions as to the value of the lots. Neither Antiquorum nor the consignor is responsible for any errors and omissions in the catalogue or any advertisements or other written material, it being understood that any description or statement therein does not constitute a warranty or representation and is provided for identification purposes only. Unless specified in the catalogue, lots are subject to reserve price which is a confidential minimum amount the consignor is willing to accept. If the reserve price is not reached, the Auctioneer may withdraw the lot from the sale. The Auctioneer may open bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the consignor. The Auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the consignor up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or by placing bids in response to other bidders. Except for the limited warranty, contained in section 2 below, all lots are sold without any representations or warranties by Antiquorum or the consignor as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, rarity, importance, the correctness of the catalogue or other description concerning the author, maker, origin, period, age, attribution, authenticity, provenance, weight or condition of any object. No statement (whether oral or written, made in the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, posting, announcement or elsewhere) whether made by any employee or agent of Antiquorum shall be deemed to be a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Neither Antiquorum nor the consignor have any responsibility whatsoever for any defect in or deterioration of any lot. 2.LIMITED WARRANT Y Except as otherwise provided in the paragraph immediately following, Antiquorum warrants that, upon the consummation of the sale of any lot under the terms and conditions contained in this catalogue, clear and unencumbered right, title and interest in and to such lot shall pass to the buyer. Antiquorum guarantees for a period of one (1) year from the date

Antiquorum makes no warranties, whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any, material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the bold or capitalized heading subject to the exclusions below. Antiquorum does not guaranty that all component parts of any timepiece are original to the timepiece. The guarantee does not apply if the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion of generally accepted experts and specialists at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions. The guarantee is provided for a period of one (1) year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of record and is not transferrable. In the event of any claim by the original purchaser regarding a bold or capitalized provision, said purchaser must (i) notify Antiquorum in writing within 7 days of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to question the accuracy of the bold or capitalized type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and reasons for such question: and (ii) return the lot to Antiquorum at the original selling location in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. Antiquorum has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law, or in equity. Antiquorum and the consignor shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest. Other than the limited warranty and guarantee provisions above, Antiquorum and the consignor make no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the lots sold hereunder. 3.THE AUCTION The auction will be conducted in French but the bidding may be translated also into English. The purchase price payable by a buyer will be the sum of the final bid price plus the buyer’s premium, together with any applicable sales or compensating use tax. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer’s premium is payable as follows: 25% of the hammer price on each lot up to and including CHF 100,000, 20% from CHF 100,001 to CHF 1,500,000 and 12% from CHF 1,500,001. Antiquorum may in its sole and absolute discretion and at any time withdraw, group differently or divide any lot included for sale and shall have no liability whatsoever for the same. Antiquorum reserves the right to refuse any bids in its full and absolute discretion. In the event of any dispute between bidders, or any other issue with respect to the bidder, the Auctioneer will have absolute discretion to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the article in dispute. His/her decision is recorded in the sale report which is conclusive. Bidding shall generally be increased in increments of 10%, however, the Auctioneer may modify bidding increments from time to time at his/her
absolute discretion. The minimum bid is communicated during the auction. Any person bidding for the account of a third party is fully liable for any obligation assumed by such person relating to the sale. This liability includes, without limitation, the verification of the condition and valuation of lots and the payment for lots purchased. Although Antiquorum, in its sole discretion, may execute absentee bids (written bids left with Antiquorum prior to sale) or accept telephone and internet bids as a convenience to clients who are not present at auction, Antiquorum is not responsible for failing to execute such bids or for any errors or omissions in connection therewith. High value lots (identified by Antiquorum in its entire discretion) may, unless otherwise agreed, be bid for only by prospective Buyers who have completed pre-bidding registration for the high value lot category. 4.PAYMENT Title to the offered lot passes to the buyer upon the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer and the announcement by the Auctioneer that the lot has been sold, subject to compliance by the buyer with all other conditions of sale, including full payment as required hereunder. Buyer shall have no right to revoke acceptance of any lot after the fall of the hammer. The buyer thereupon assumes full risk and responsibility for the lot. The buyer shall immediately pay the full purchase price, buyer’s commission and all applicable sales and other taxes in Swiss francs using a method of payment acceptable to auctioneer (including Swiss currency, bank wire). Payment in foreign currencies is accepted at the rates of exchange of the day of sale as determined by Antiquorum. Lots are delivered to the buyer only upon the full payment of all such amounts. Shipping and packing arrangements and charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer. After payment has been made in full, Antiquorum may, as a service to the buyer, arrange to have the purchased lots packed, insured and shipped at the buyer’s request and expense. In this event, the buyer agrees that all said packaging, handling and shipping is at the sole risk of the buyer and that Antiquorum shall have no liability for any loss or damage to the purchased lots. Antiquorum may move the property to an off-site storage at the risk of the buyer. Buyer will be required to pay all applicable taxes, or fees levied by any authority (unless Antiquorum receives satisfactory proof of exemption, to be determined in Antiquorum’s sole discretion). A 7,7% VAT is applicable to each sale. VAT will be entirely refunded upon receipt of an export declaration validated by the Swiss Federal Customs Administration. It is expressly agreed that consignor shall only receive payment for a lot provided Antiquorum has received full payment from buyer, including such lost commissions and administrative and handling charges. 5.REMEDIES, APPLICABLE L AWS AND JURISDICTION To the extent that any other information or provision set forth in this catalogue is inconsistent with the Conditions of Sale, the Conditions of Sale shall be controlling. If the buyer fails to comply with any of these Conditions of Sale, Antiquorum may (in addition to asserting all remedies available by law), (i) hold such defaulting buyer liable for the purchase price; (ii) cancel the sale; (iii) resell the property without reserve at public auction or privately on seven days’ notice to the buyer; (iv) pay the consignor an amount equal to the net proceeds payable in respect of the amount bid by the defaulting buyer and then resell the property to a third party without reserve at public auction or privately on fifteen (15) days written notice to such buyer; or (v) return the lot to the consignor, provided forty-five (45) days have elapsed and no payment has been received from buyer; or (vi) take such other action as Antiquorum deems necessary or appropriate. If Antiquorum resells the property pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) above, the defaulting buyer shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency between the purchase price and the price obtained upon resale and all costs and expenses, including administration, handling, insurance, warehousing, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commissions, incidental damages and all other charges due hereunder. In the event that such buyer pays a portion of the purchase price for any or all lots purchased, Antiquorum shall apply the payment received to such lot or lots as Antiquorum, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Any buyer who fails to comply with these Conditions of Sale will be deemed to have granted Antiquorum a security interest in, and Antiquorum may retain as collateral security for such buyer’s obligation to it, any property in Antiquorum’s possession owned by such buyer. This security interest secures the principal amount of any such claim and also any outstanding or accruing interest, commissions, costs and all other fees as well as any and all damages suffered by Antiquorum. Antiquorum is entitled, but not obliged, to realize freely the security interests without
further formalities and without previous notice to the buyer who is in default of payment on his debt or in the fulfilment of any other obligation hereunder. In any event, Antiquorum will be entitled to realise its security on a private treaty basis.

ANTIQUORUM GRADING SYSTEM FOR TIMEPIECES & EXPERTS’ OVERALL OPINION 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.
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.
Although every effort has been made to remain objective, clients are nonetheless advised that any grading or condition report will, of necessity, be subjective.
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.
Clients are reminded that all statements made in the Antiquorum Grading
GRADING SYSTEM GUIDE 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.
SEE SAMPLE BELOW C 2-8 CASE as new
D 2-01
DIAL as new - original hands
M 3-10* MOVEMENT as new
EXPERTS’ OVERALL OPINION: Exceptional
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.
