Welcome 引言

By Zi Yong Ho and Gertrude Wong

It has been nearly two and a half years, this fall season with Hong Kong finally opening its doors, we are overjoyed with excitement to welcome familiar faces once again to our auction room. To our dear friends, collectors and colleagues, let us say that you have been missed. While we might have learnt to be familiarized with time zone differences, or the occasional internet lag, there is nothing more enjoyable than an uninterrupted conversation. We are truly delighted to be able to share our passion for watches with you in person this November.

“God is in the details.”, once said by a brilliant architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The art of attention to details that ultimately yield the greatest results, however small they are. At Phillips, we celebrate the importance of masterful detailing amongst the world of horology, the absolute craftsmanship and devotion that ultimately “sings” to us all.

Representing the ateliers of independent watchmaking from the Isle of Man, the hand-engraved Series 2 by Roger W. Smith, to the finishing of a perfectionist, the Simplicity by Philippe Dufour. We also invite you to take a closer look and enjoy the Rolex Daytonas and Day-Dates collection from dial makers, gemsetters whom challenges the unforgiving nature of minerals and precious stones to reveal their absolute beauty.

Chiming with dedication and clarity, every pitch, rhythm, volume is the acoustic result from the Patek Philippe ref. 5207 under Mr. Thierry Stern’s personal approval. The phenomenal art of skeletonized movements by Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Voutilainen and Armin Strom are true expression of artists. Nothing is left to chance for the precision in chronographs, every single part matters, from space traveling of the Omega Speedmaster MIR, back to the Daytona circuit of a tropical Rolex Paul Newman ref. 6239, not to mention the elegant click of the Patek Philippe single-button split-seconds ref. 5959P with a rich black dial. Finally, the Patek Philippe ref. 2499 first series in yellow gold that was cherished by the collector for a good two decades, and is ready to entrust it to the next astute collector.

Our team looks forward to show you our selection this Fall, welcoming your presence and warmth into our auction room.

One of the rarest colours featured in vintage “stella” models, it is a refreshing moment for collectors today to be able to acquire a contemporary version of the coveted model. Announced just this spring of its discontinuation of this variant at Watches & Wonders 2022 along with the “Tiffany” blue and coral red variant, the demand of this yellow Oyster Perpetual 41 is at all time high, and is a fun timepiece for any occasions.

A

LOT OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE

First released at Baselworld 2013, the Rolex

II ref. 116710BLNR was a true revelation making waves in the scene as it was the very first to feature a black and blue Cerachrom bezel insert. Extremely well-received by collectors at immediate glance, the model earned its nickname the “Batman” for its obvious colour combinations. One of the most desirable Rolex sports models in recent times, the “Batman” is with no doubt a modern classic among its former references.

In production for 6 years and discontinued in 2019, it made way for the upgraded ref. 126710BLNR featuring a new cal. 3285. Offered in excellent overall condition, the present example ref. 116710BLNR is offered with its original guarantee dated 2015 and a fitted presentation box.

LOT OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE

Unveiled at the Baselworld 2007, the Rolex ref. 116710LN was the first GMTMaster II reference to feature a Cerachrom bezel with a further updated case and bracelet. With an unmistakable presence, the reference was also the only GMT-Master to be topped with a green 24-Hour hand and its model name registered in the same hue. Having enjoyed a successful 10-year production run, the reference was discontinued in 2018 to make way for the new ref. 126710BLRO.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the iconic Submariner, Rolex released the ref. 16610LV in 2003 featuring for the first time a green bezel to celebrate the milestone. Overtime due to its obvious colour scheme, the reference was dubbed by collectors as “The Kermit” the cartoon frog. Produced until 2010, the model was replaced by the ref. 116610LV replaced with a Cerachrom bezel and a green dial, which earned its nickname “The Hulk” due to its maxi-style case and its monochromatic green scheme (for reference see next lot). Now recently discontinued, Rolex released the ref. 126610LV in 2020 going back to the original green bezel with a black dial, featuring a 41mm diameter case and an upgraded caliber, this time earning its nickname, “Starbucks”.

The present example Rolex Submariner ref. 16610LV “Kermit” from circa 2005 is offered in “new-old-stock” condition and is complete with its full set of accessories.

The Rolex Submariner ref. 116610LV is a bold and dynamic wristwatch dominated by its scratch-resistant green Cerachrom bezel and matching sunburst dial. The green hues present in the dial’s subtle sunburst grain pattern morph in its three-dimensionality when inspected under direct light, crowned by Rolex as “green gold” upon its launch.

Released in 2010, the model replaced the 50th anniversary reference 16610LV (for reference see previous lot), also known as the “Kermit”. While similar in overall design and build, the “Hulk” features a robust case with broader lugs and glidelock features to allow the wearer to make the necessary adjustments on the wrist with ease.

Highly sought-after in the market, the reference was discontinued in 2020 and made way for its new ref. 126610LV with a black dial. The present example Rolex ref. 116610LV from circa 2017 is offered in “new-old-stock” condition and is complete with its full set of accessories.

Making its important debut in 2013, the Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116680 was a truly innovative release by the firm featuring for a first time in horological history a Regatta countdown complication with programmable mechanical memory which allows to choose how many minutes (1 to 10) the countdown lasts and retains the information after reset. While it is uncommon for Rolex to create limited edition timepieces, when they do it is always special. On the 15th of August 1914, the Panama Canal was officially opened to traffic allowing international trade by the US. In 1977, U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos signed a treaty to run over the canal to Panama by the end of the century. August 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal, and to celebrate the momentous event, Rolex issued a limited edition series of 150 pieces of the Yacht-Master II ref. 116680 through

In 2008, Rolex launched the reference 116660 Sea-Dweller Deep Sea with a black dial with a newly introduced Ringlock system and featured a thicker case than its regular counterpart. Extremely robust and feature packed, the Sea-Dweller Deep Sea is lock and loaded to explore the deepest point of the ocean, an incredible depth rating up to 3,900 meters of conquest. Six years later into the production, Rolex introduced a new twist to the Deepsea in 2014, this time with an attractive gradient blue dial beautifully mimicking the hue of the deep sea. Nicknamed “James Cameron”, it was a tribute to his solo expedition to explore and document the deepest part of the ocean where no human has ever conquered.

The present example Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea “James Cameron” ref. 116660 from circa 2017 is offered in “new-old-stock” condition with its factory stickers intact and is complete with its full set of accessories.

Property from the Original Owner 原物主收藏

Launched at the Baselworld 2013, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116506 marked a milestone for the firm and the famed and iconic model as it was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Daytona. Spotted on the wrists of celebrities with the likes of Michael Jordan and a long list of other greats, the reference is today one of the most celebrated Daytona models in recent times.

Being the first ever Daytona model to feature the firm’s newly incorporated Cerachrom bezel it is also the very first serially produced Daytona model encased in the most prestigious metal of all, platinum. Fitted with an ice blue sunburst dial, which is only reserved for Rolex timepieces cased in platinum, the contrast against the chestnut brown Cerachrom bezel is simply sublime. Extremely high in demand with a long waiting list at the boutique, the reference has tremendously increased its value in recent times due to the limited availability.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 116506 features a luxurious touch with diamond-set indexes. Preserved in new-old-stock condition with its full factory stickers intact and complete with its full set of accessories from circa 2019. What makes this ice blue Daytona even more attractive is the additional non-diamond set ice blue dial and hands purchased from Rolex by the original owner. A great opportunity for collectors to acquire this handsome and highly sought-after timepiece with the choice of a bit of sportiness or glam, this is definitely a rare piece to accquire.

dated 10th March 2022 confirming that the present timepiece is part of the Royal Oak’s 50th Anniversary, international warranty card, instructions manual, product literature, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

In honour of the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary this year, Audemars Piguet launched a new range of Royal Oak Chronograph wristwatches. Seventeen new iterations were slowly released throughout 2022, offering 38mm and 41mm sizes, an array of different colourways, and blinding diamond-set variants. Adhering strongly to the genetic codes of its predecessors, the present Royal Oak Chronograph 41 flaunts an iconic blue Grande Tapisserie dial topped with an inconspicuous date window at 4 o’clock and applied lumed hour markers. Encased in stainless steel, the bracelet’s and octagonal bezel’s finishes are also retained. Minor adjustments, however, do make a significant impact. The latest version of this model is updated with a reshuffled layout of the chronograph dial, layered with a muted white gold signature near 12 o’clock.

Furthermore, the 50th Anniversary edition is closed with a sapphire case-back that invites the wearer to admire the new and improved in-house cal. AP 4401 and its 22K white gold “50 Years” rotor. The distinct oscillating rotor will only be included in watches produced in 2022, after which they will revert to the ordinary form. Offered in “like-new” condition, the present Royal Oak Chronograph 41 is complete with its certificate and original accessories. This opportunity to be a part of Audemars Piguet’s momentous milestone is not to be missed. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

No doubt, the demand for green dials is notably rising in favour of other flavours. With that in mind, Audemars Piguet enlivens several members of its Royal Oak family with vibrant green dials in 2021. Along with the three new Flying Tourbillon models (in pink gold, titanium and one with a fitted emeraldset bezel), the most coveted, green-faced variant from this release is, perhaps, the present limited edition yellow gold Royal Oak Chronograph. Respecting all the signatures of a quintessential Royal Oak, the ref. 26331BA boasts the iconic octagonal satin-brushed bezel and the integrated bracelet that seamlessly connects with the case, giving this wristwatch its stunning impression of fluidity. Concealed by a solid case back engraved with “Limited Edition”, the present reference is powered by the in-house cal. 2385, following the mechanical cues of the Frédéric Piguet 1185 with an 18k gold oscillating weight.

Accompanied by an integrated yellow gold bracelet with two additional leather and rubber straps, the current Royal Oak Chronograph is offered in “like-new” condition. Given the soaring craze for the striking combination of yellow gold and vivid green, the opportunity to acquire this limited edition specimen is perhaps as rare as the watch itself. Complete with its original accessories, the present timepiece will be a fine addition to any collection and is sure to invoke the green-eyed monster. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and

Specialised in the manufacture of complications since 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, audacious timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. Since its earliest days, Audemars Piguet is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters, grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

Today, the brand is best known for its Genta-designed Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch that launched in 1972. Lo and behold, the present Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is one of a rare 300-piece limited edition, initially reserved for the Japanese market only. While the first 150 pieces dropped with hardly more than a whisper in December 2020, the second half only became available outside of Japan in the summer of 2021.

The beauty of this watch is not just in its delicious salmon Grande Tapisserie dial and sub-registers, but also in its featherlight titanium case. Faithful to its predecessor, the signature octagonal satin-brushed bezel and integrated bracelet follows the same decorative cues and is integrated organically into the case, giving this timepiece its attractive sensation of fluidity. Likewise, the mirror-like edges on the bezel and links create a subtle yet sensational contrast to the vertically brushed finishes on the case and bracelet.

Inspired by calibre 2120, the slender case on the ref. 26615TI houses an automatic calibre 5134, connecting to the visual and technical prowess of its ancestors. Along with the traditional calendar functions, the present Royal Oak is presented with weekly indication and a beautiful moon phase displaydepicted by a photorealistic moon on an iridescent aventurine background.

Boasting the perfecting combination of a salmon dial and a titanium case, the present example is offered in “like-new” condition with its original accessories. A quintessence of luxury sports watches, this Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is the epitome of form and function, designed to make heads turn. With its surging demand, there is no better opportunity to acquire this coveted timepiece a necessity for the modern gentry.

All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

AUDEMARS

platinum flyback

wristwatch with large date, tachymeter scale, guarantee and presentation box

Launched in 1999, collectors have widely regarded A.Lange & Söhne

as one of the finest modern chronograph wristwatches produced by any firm. Since its re-establishment of manufacture, A. Lange & Söhne has been creating some of the most impressive timepieces executed to the highest quality. It features an in-house manual movement and is expertly finished throughout with Glashütte stripes and a signature hand-engraved balance cock. The oversized date window display particular to A. Lange & Söhne wristwatches inspired by the Dresden Semper Opera clock sits perfectly legible on the 12 O’clock position.

The first generation of the Datograph features a 39mm diameter case without the power reserve indication giving the dial a clean and minimalist appeal. Furthermore, the platinum case and black dial is the original Datograph that captured the admiration of so many collectors and connoisseurs when it first appeared at Baselworld in 1999. In 2012, the firm upgraded the Datograph featuring a more significant 41mm diameter case and implemented an up/ down power reserve indication at 6 o’clock, featuring baton indexes instead of Roman numerals.

The present example A. Lange & Söhne Datograph in platinum from circa 2001 belongs to the model’s first generation that can be identified by the ‘METER’ tachymeter scale that was replaced later in A. Lange & Söhne production around 2005 with ‘METERS’ tachymeter scale. A small but essential detail that collectors look for in collecting early versions of Datograph. Complete with its original guarantee and presentation box, this is undoubtedly an example that will garner much interest from collectors of fine chronograph wristwatches.

Debuted since 2011, the Chronomètre Bleu is a quintessential classic of Mr. Journe’s masterpieces and has quickly became one of the most sought after timepieces amongst collectors in recent years. Encased in an elegant 39mm case made of tantalum, the dark grey tinted metal is rarely used in watchmaking due to its high density and difficulty to work with. The most captivating element of this timepiece lies upon its beautiful chrome blue dial. With a ray of light, the metallic chrome dial radiates with incredible sheens of blue, it is easy for one to be drawn in admiration instantly. Dedicated to deliver the highest quality of haute horology, this mesmerising colour of blue is obtained by meticulous precision of hand applied blue lacquer layers, each polished to a mirror finish before the next layer is applied.

Conceptualized to be built as the timepiece for Francois-Paul Journe himself, the Chronomètre Optimum symbolizes the very essence of precision in Monsieur Journe’s watchmaking philosophy. Dedicated simply to deliver the most precise and sustainable measurement of time, Mr. Journe envisioned the original concept since 2001. The quest for precision took a prolonged 10 years to shape up and was finally revealed in 2012. Adopting finest components of iconic Haute Horlogerie timepieces from the firm’s collection such as the double-barrel layout of the Chronomètre Souverain and the Remontoir d’egalité system from the Tourbillon, the Chronomètre Optimum paramount significance. It is the truly the ultimate chronometer of extreme precision and utmost longevity.

Aesthetically simple and refined, the Optimum is regarded as the accumulation of the best features of Journe’s innovations and was produced in both 40 and 42mm case diameter. The present example with a gently smaller case size is not only packed with technical punch, but also with exceptional visual finesse. The choice of white gold surrounds and whitened guilloche silver dial nicely contrast with the highly appealing blued steel hands. Uncompromising to quality, the masterfully decorated 18K pink gold cal. 1510 movement brings sight of delights to connoisseurs. With only a handful of Chronomètre Optimum previously appeared in auction, the present example in excellent overall condition with its original guarantee and accessories is highly rare. Crowned to be Journe’s most precise timepiece, and formulated with, in his words, “All the spices that makes a good meal”, it is certainly a must-have piece for the collector of exceptional appetite.

The Lange 1 Time Zone is perhaps the most elegant and sophisticated dual-time wristwatch that launched in 2005. Tastefully executed and highly functional, this model was the Glashütte-based manufacturer’s first attempt in crafting a timepiece that combines a dual time complication with a city ring. The watch enjoyed instant recognition among highflying collectors for its added utilitarian status , while strongly adhering to the original Lange 1 design code. Fusing form and function, the Lange 1 Time Zone is a frequent flyer’s favourite like none other. Boasting distinct proportions of the golden ratio, the large home-time register with classical Roman numerals is contrasted with a substantially smaller local-timezone register, showcased on an independent dial with Arabic indexes at 5 o’clock. Advancing in parallel with its outer city ring, the additional time

zone moves in unison with its surrounding partner as they both operate via the same pusher at 8 o’clock. Paying tribute to the firm’s first South American retailer, Simonetta Orsini, the present model is a Buenos Aires edition in white gold, launched in 2010 as a limited edition of 100 pieces. In favour of featuring “Rio de Janerio”, as seen on most Lange 1 Time Zone timepieces, “B. Aires” is proudly displayed on the city wheel to celebrate the Argentinian retailer. Presented in excellent overall condition, the current example is numbered 39 and is offered with its full set of accessories.

Since the introduction of Lange 1 in 1994, the color blue has always been used in a sparingly manner in A. Lange & Söhne’s collection and often on rare models. From 1995 with the Lange 1 in yellow gold with blued hands ref. 101.022, the blue series ref. 101.027 in white gold, or the brand’s 25th anniversary series ref. 191.066, these dashes of blue sparks true joy to collectors of the brand.

A timepiece that never appeared in the catalogue of A. Lange & Söhne, the “secret” reference 101.027X in white gold featuring a set of blued hands had an interesting back story of its origin. According to scholars, the reference was meant to be launched in celebration of an important milestone for Dresden and Saxony’s UNESCO Heritage Site particularly the Loschwitz Bridge coloured in blue also known as the Blue Wonder, hence the touch of blued hands. The present Lange 1 ref. 101.027X with pure aesthetics is a timepiece of

extreme rarity, its production numbers are shrouded in secrecy and only a few examples have resurfaced in the market. Reaching new heights with amazing results during our PHILLIPS Geneva XV auction in 2022 of CHF 138,600, this is another chance for the discerned collector to obtain this rare bird. For those who seeks an extremely collectible and well-preserved model from the Glashütte brand, we are delighted that your hunt is over.

Initially launched in 2003 as a limited edition of 101 pieces, of which the present set is number 8, The Grand Lange 1 “Luna Mundi” is delivered as a set of two watches, respectively, the Luna Mundi Ursa Major and Luna Mundi Southern Cross.

Each one of these timepieces correctly and accurately indicates the moon’s position as seen from different hemispheres. The white gold model features the Ursa Major constellation on the dial and depicts the phases of the moon as seen in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, the pink gold model features the Southern Cross and depicts the phases of the moon in the Southern Hemisphere.

Going back in history through centuries, sailors and world travellers would truly notice the dramatic change of stars and constellations one can experience according to their current position. Uniquely, only the full and new crescents of the moon appear symbiotically both in the northern and southern hemispheres. The present Grand Lange 1 Luna Mundi wristwatches display true-to-life moon phases as seen on both sides of the equator, which will need setting once every 122.6 years. The watch industry, being based since its very conception on the northern hemisphere, has long forgotten these subtle differences in hemispheres, stars and constellations. Only now, companies like A. Lange and Söhne have set quest to rectify the said error, end this “northern” focus and display realistic moon phases.

The exquisite dials and cases of these two watches bear the signature of A. Lange & Söhne further compel any true connoisseur and aficionado to truly understand the opportunity to acquire this rare set of matching number ‘8’ limited edition pieces.

An unconventional watch with twin retrograde hands in the form of a compass, the Vacheron Constantin Mercator was introduced in 1994, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Gerardus Mercator’s passing. When the CEO of Vacheron Constantin at the time, Claude-Daniel Proellochs, was presented with this idea, the executive was instantly captivated by the intriguing design and thus solidified their decade-long partnership in producing the Mercator. According to the archives, only 638 pieces were made in those 10 years, with a handful of different variants, depicting different corners of the globe. The

dials are signed with “J&L

an uncommon practice,

considering brands have historically kept enamellers in the shadows. Much sought-after for its bi-retrograde time display, the centre piece of the watch is no doubt its dial, where art and history meet. Drawing from the Mercator Projection, the present example is numbered 10 of approximately 50 dials that depicts a beautifully hand-crafted cloisonné enamel dial of “Europa-Asia”. Exceptionally well-preserved and offered with its original accessories, the present Mercator is a true collectable, made for style-conscious connoisseurs of exotic and remarkable timepieces.

In 1986, Patek Philippe replaced the long-lived ref. 2499 with the new ref. 3970 featuring an upgraded Lemania based cal. CH27-70Q succeeding its former Valjoux based caliber. While adopting similar aesthetics to its previous reference, the ref. 3970 features a smaller case dimension at 36mm diameter. The reference was produced in all four metals including yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum across a total of four series with production spanning over 19 years. It is estimated that throughout its course of production over 4,000 examples of the reference were produced.

First series (1986 – 1988) – Features a snap back case, feuille hands and rectangular indexes. Only produced in yellow gold with an estimated 100 examples produced.

Second series (1987 – 1990) – Features a solid screw back case “E – Etanche”, feuille hands, hallmarks on the side on the lugs and rectangular indexes. Produced in all four case materials with an estimated 450 examples produced across all metals.

Some watch designs manage to strike such a perfect balance between sporty and formal, quirky and classic, elegant and carefree, that they immediately become true icons of watchmaking. Few wristwatch models can claim such a timeless construction. Among these few, one could mention the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Rolex Submariner and the Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Originally envisioned by genius designer Gerald Genta in 1976, the case design is inspired by a luxury cruiser’s portholes, subtly underlining the marriage of elegance and sporty robustness found in this timepiece. Originally marketed as the ultimate status symbol, with strong emphasis on its high cost even though the watch is cased in stainless steel (period advertisements memorably read: “One of the world’s costliest watches is made of steel), the model is today one of the most recognized and appreciated sports watches available on the market.

The first incarnation of the Nautilus is reference 3700, remarkable for its large dimensions, so much that it became known as the “Jumbo”. However, the reference 3700 in steel was discontinued in the mid-1980s (other metals were available until at least 1998) leaving the Nautilus collection without its most iconic representative. The time-only reference 3800 was in production until 2006 but it features a smaller size, while the reference 3710 was launched in 1998 with the same size, but it was a complicated timepiece. Reference 5711 thus represents the return of the “Jumbo” Nautilus, featuring a design extremely like the original model with only minor technical upgrades.

The present example Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5711/1A-010 from circa 2016 is offered in “new-old-stock” condition with no signs of use and wear. Stamped with the Tiffany & Co. signature at 6 o’clock, this rare example accompanied by its full set of accessories will surely garner interest from collectors seeking for this rare and elusive example that is no longer in production.

Inspired by the portholes of transatlantic ocean liners, the Patek Philippe ref. 5711 was named after Captain Nemo’s Nautilus submarine from Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”. Dubbed as a collectors’ favourite, this luxury sports watch is the perfect balance between form and function.

Building upon the preceding ref. 3700 Jumbo Nautilus, this reference features center seconds, a date window at 3 o’clock and is housed in a larger 40mm case. Sporting a distinct gradient dial, the stage is set for its horizontal embossed lines, which not only adds depth to the dial but also reveals the varying shades of blue as it plays with light and shade. Complete with applied hour markers and baton-shaped hands in white gold, the ref. 5711 perfectly embodies the Patek Philippe distinguished flair, specially designed for the modern gentry.

Complementing its crisp and clean dial, the case and bracelet are tastefully executed, with every corner bevelled and polished. The mirror-like finishes on the centre links also create a sublime contrast to the vertically brushed surfaces on the bracelet.

In 2021, Patek Philippe shocked collectors with the disappointing discontinuation of the blue- dialled ref. 5711/1A-010, making way for the reference’s final chapter, the ref. 5711/1A-014. As the saying goes, all good things are short and sweet. After a brief one-year production run, the olivegreen-dialled Nautilus subsequently ceased production in 2022. Now a memory of the past, the important evolution of the ref. 5711 can be detailed in three series:

First series (2006-2007): Fitted with calibre 315

Second series (2007-2019): Fitted with calibre 324 SC with Geneva Seal (pre-2010), and later with Patek Philippe seal (post-2010)

Third series (2019-2021): Fitted with calibre 26-330 SC with hack feature

Fresh-to-the-market, the present ref. 5711 is part of the third series, offered in “new-old-stock” condition with its Certificate or Origin and presentation box. One of the last of its kind, the opportunity at hand to acquire this brand new, unworn Nautilus is perhaps as rare as the watch itself.

PATEK

The Patek Philippe Nautilus is undoubtedly one of a handful that still hold their position as the hottest and most sought-after watches in the market today. Ever since the recent discontinuation of the ref. 5711, collectors who had missed their chance in the past are now fighting to get a hold of a piece from the Nautilus family for themselves. Introduced in 2006, the ref. 5712 was one of the very first modern complicated Nautiluses ever to be offered, along with its chronograph sibling, the ref. 5980. With an estimation that Patek Philippe’s total production of stainless steel wristwatches to be about 22% of their entire annual production, the stainless steel ref. 5712 is most certainly a rare bird by today’s standards. As the demand for this reference far surpasses its supply, the resurfaced examples have been achieving record-breaking prices in the market.

The present Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 5712/1A-001 is a brand-new example from circa 2009. It is not every day that one will come across a single-sealed example and fresh-to-the-market, this chance to acquire a Nautilus with date and moon phases is as rare as the watch itself. Besides, who knows how long this sporty collectors’ dream may still be in production for?

In the early 2000s, Patek Philippe made their plans to create an entirely new and innovative department to contribute to the research and development of horology. This was the beginning of the Advanced Research department. Working with the CSEM research lab and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, researchers looked for new ways to bring horology into the 21st century. This new collaboration looked at “new materials”, “new manufacturing technologies” and a “new conceptual fundamental”. Out of this came Silinvar®, a patented mono-crystal silicon. This material was unaffected by temperature change and was very lightweight, and required no lubrication and was corrosion resistant.

Patek Philippe’s first watch to use this new material was the reference 5250 Annual Calendar Advanced Research with Silinvar® escape wheel limited to 100 pieces launched in 2005. In the following year, the firm released the ref. 5350 Annual Calendar featuring a balance spring made of Silinvar® and was limited to 300 pieces. In 2008, the ref. 5450 Annual Calendar was released this time featuring a Pulsomax® escapement also limited to 300 pieces. Three years later, the first Advanced Research perpetual calendar ref. 5550 was introduced presenting the Oscillomax® ensemble limited to 300 pieces.

The latest innovation and release bring the Advanced Research Aquanaut Travel Time ref. 5650G-001 in 2017. A limited edition of 500 pieces, the ref. 5650G complied all the innovations in one. With an additional two new features, the cal. 324 S C FUS is upgraded with the firm’s first Spiromax® balance spring made of Silinvar® and optimized with an inner boss, improving the isochronism of the balance in the vertical orientations of the watch. The result of the innovation is a -1/+2 seconds a day accuracy, similar to the standards of tourbillon wristwatches by the firm. The second innovation is specific to the reference as it features a time zone setting device cased on flexible mechanisms which is visible on the 9 o’clock position of the dial showcasing the four crossed leaf springs with chamfered edges.

Becoming one of the most important and hottest Patek Philippe sports wristwatch in the market in recent times, the present example fresh-to-themarket ref. 5650G-001 is offered in service sealed condition and complete with its full set of accessories consigned by an important Canadian collector.

Leaders in the field of grand complications, Patek Philippe appeals to the modern gentry for their ability to reinvent masterpieces of the past fused with the technical innovations of today. Adhering to their distinct design codes, the ref. 5236 is the perfect example of that, launched in the Spring of 2020 as the most recent conception of the “pure” perpetual calendar line.

Most notably, the present model features a linear calendar display, pivoting away from the usual indications on vintage references like 1518, 2499, 2497, along with modern pieces such as the 5270, 5320 and 5372. Instead of featuring two month and day apertures, stacked above a window or subsidiary counter for the date, the neatly aligned calendar format on the ref. 5236 provides a substantially cleaner overall appearance. Highly uncommon on production wristwatches, this subtle yet suave update is very well received among both modern critics and collectors for its enhanced legibility.

Painstakingly difficult to execute, a similar configuration has been realised before on the pocket watch ref. 725/4, designed for the American market and arranged by order of month, date and day instead. However, these two timepieces are merely connected by their aesthetical similarities. In comparison to the “ordinary” perpetual calendars, the present model is a modern invention, featuring 118 components with technical solutions exclusively tailored for this complication. The caliber 31-260 was first employed by its Regulator-style sibling, the ref. 5235. Making its second appearance, the same but improved automatic cal. 31-260 PS QL is modified with an additional bridge and a platinum rotor to accommodate the high torque required for a seamless operation of the calendar. Topped with a hack feature, this tastefully devised timepiece is not just a sight to behold, but also a reliable utility made for precise time keeping.

Drawing from the mid-century champions, the present 41mm platinum case is heavily influenced by the references 3448 and 3450, sporting a Padelloneesque silhouette with its iconic angular form. Likewise, the present ref. 5236 boasts a beautifully balanced two-tone dial, complete with a deep blue satinfinished center, highlighted by an outer chapter with railway minute divisions.

Offered as a full set in "like-new"condition, the present Patek Philippe ref. 5236P is a rare opportunity to secure one of the most coveted contemporary complicated references delivered by the esteemed Swiss manufacturer.

Regarded as one of the modern greats of traditional Swiss watchmaking, Roger Dubuis created his own brand in 1995 after an illustrious career at some of the most prestigious manufacturers. Early examples of Roger Dubuis timepieces have recently witnessed a spike in demand by dedicated collectors. One of his earliest creations, when Mr. Dubuis established his own brand, was the Hommage Condottieri. The present lot Hommage Condottieri is one of Roger Dubuis early timepieces created, it enabled the world to witness what his own creations would look like after 20 years at Patek Philippe in the complications department. Extremely sleek through its design and craftsmanship, the Hommage Condottieri encased in a 3-piece round-shaped case features the cal. RD27 up to observatory standards underneath the snow white enamel dial with painted black Roman numerals.

Regarded as one of the grail movements by the firm, the original base of the movement derives from a 1940s Tavannes cal. 507 finessed with Dubuis’ touch of modifications, including a swan neck regulator, Breguet spiral as well as polished and chamfered screws, only to mention some. Built up to Poinçon de Genève and Observatoire National de Besançon standards, all early Roger Dubuis pieces bear an observatory movement.

Regarded as some of the most interesting timepieces that collectors have a keen eye on in recent times, early Roger Dubuis pieces have once again been featured in the spotlight. Since the firm’s establishment in 1995, Roger Dubuis has created a series of timepieces under his very first models Hommage and Sympathie. Having offered a wide array of complications, materials and dials, each reference was made as limited edition of 28 pieces. The present Roger Dubuis belongs to a rare example from the pre-Richemont era. Belonging to the Hommage family, the ref. H37.57.5 features a handsome 37mm diameter pink gold case fronted by a white enamel dial with applied gold Breguet numerals, Alpha hands and a desirable burgundy red outer minute track. While most examples of the reference feature a lacquered dial, the enamel dial on the present example makes this variant among the rarest.

Offered in excellent overall condition boasting a crisp case and a clean dial, the present example is with no a doubt a handsome timepiece that would please collectors that prefer a classic and timeless three-hander with subtle exclusivity.

Distinct for its rectangular silhouette, the Lang & Heyne Georg collection was dedicated to Georg the Bearded, Duke of Saxony of the 16th Century. Famed for playing a pivotal role in opposing the Protestant Reformation and beloved by his subjects for being a just and fair ruler, the present model is perhaps a perfect wristwatch that embodies the German aristocrat’s harmonious ideals and balanced proportions. Available in white gold, pink gold and platinum, the Georg features an elegantly finished white enamel dial executed in the Art Deco flair and topped with blued steel lancet hands. While the dial is clean and crisp, it conceals the mechanical prowess of the timepiece, allowing only its wearer to admire the cal. VIII via its sapphire caseback. An extraordinary movement that powers the watch, each component from the balance bridge to each individual blued stainless steel screw is made entirely in-house.

The winding wheels feature double snailed finish with polished chamfers, and its balance bridge is polished with a diamond set above. Considering that the workshop produces not more than 15 screws a day, it is hard to imagine how much time is required for Lang & Heyne to build an entire wristwatch. The present example in pink gold is numbered 28, offered in excellent overall condition and is complete with its full set of accessories consigned by the original owner.

When one thinks of Lang & Heyne, the usual feedbacks would be traditional, refined and old-school, which can be determined by the firm’s meticulous craft for fully handmade movements finished with classic Saxon aesthetics. However, recently in 2021, the firm released a surprise to collectors by launching their first ever sports wristwatch in stainless steel with an integrated bracelet, showcasing new directions undertaken by the firm.

With refined aesthetics, the dial features a “petticoat” pattern in the center with concentric groves for the chapter ring as well as applied markers in the same “petticoat” shaped filled with Super-Luminova. A charming sports watch finished with extreme precision and attention to detail, an aperture below the center of the dial reveals a small part of the inner workings of the cal. 33.2 developed by Uhren-Werke-Dresden. With impressive movement architecture, signature to the firm, it showcases a high level and variety of polishing and brushing used

De Bethune DB28 Skybridge revealed the window on infinity with its stunning blued titanium night sky in 2013. Debuted with an intense radiant blue night sky shimmering with white gold stars and diamonds, the dial paints a vivid night sky as if one gaze upon the Monte Carlo night sky on 19th November 1857. Extruding everything De Bethune, the 45mm diameter DB28 Skybridge cased in Grade 5 titanium features a beautiful set of spring-loaded lugs that are unmistakable from a mile away. An eminent reference to the famous 18th century clocks, this star-studded sky in mirror-polished and blued titanium derives its power and beauty from its concave shape and its multiple decorations crafted in the company workshops in the village of L’Auberson. Designed with perfect symmetry divided by the arrow-shaped Skybridge pointing towards infinity, the brand’s signature 3D moon phase anchored at 6 o’clock adds a gorgeous dimension to the minimalistic canvas. Balancing the dial with equal grace are ten spherical white gold hour markers that makes up the constellation of time discreetly. The overall aesthetic is almost identical to the DB28 Skybridge launched in the Only Watch auction in 2013. Only difference is that the latter example is cased in platinum with a blued titanium chapter ring instead of frosted titanium.

Turning the watch over is the gorgeous movement featuring mirror polished bridges and complemented with blued steel triple pare-chute bridge and titanium plate. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the silicon annular balance encircled by white gold ring is a delight to admire.

It is no secret that Kari Voutilainen is one of the most talented master watchmakers today. Adhering to the essence of independent watchmaking, his exquisite handcraftsmanship and iconic teardrop lugs have mesmerised and moved connoisseurs from all over the world.

The Vingt-8 lineage is the perfect encapsulation of Kari Voutilainen’s vision. A collector’s dream, this model is revered for its perfectly sized 39mm case, his trademark lugs, the intricate variegated hand-finished dial and Breguetstyle “moon” tip hands. As he stated publicly, “the design and philosophy of the movement combine respect for longevity and precision with classical watchmaking tradition.” With the first models leaving the workshop in 2011, the Calibre 28 was developed entirely in-house and is regulated by the double wheel escapement that has become part of the brand’s DNA.

Voutilainen is notorious for his commitment to custom pieces created at the request of individuals. Lo and behold, the present Vingt-8 is truly one of a kind. A unique masterpiece designed to the original owner’s taste; it not only possesses all the above characteristics but also features a semi-skeletonised dial. Encased in stainless steel, this material is also only available to close friends of the brand and must be specially requested. Standing by the principles of mixing traditional Haute horology with contemporary designs, the dial is embellished with a well-balanced combination of manually patterned finishes, such as perlage, black frosting and Ecaille de Poisson guilloche. Instead of the numbered indexes often seen on non-commissioned examples, the main dial and small minutes register on this Vingt-8 are marked with subtle dotted divisions, highlighted by their conjoining brush-finished rings. Through the sapphire caseback, the wearer is invited to admire its movement, also finished with the same degree of elegance and intricacy as the front of the dial. The present example is most definitely a treat for aficionados who value tradition and uniqueness. Offered in excellent overall condition with a certificate signed by Kari Voutilainen himself, the chance to be the proud owner of this unique Voutilainen Vingt-8 is notably as rare as the watch itself.

Undoubtedly, the Chronomètre Souverain is one of his most recognisable creations and as its name suggests, offers chronometric precision. Conceived in 2005, this was his first timepiece that carries a central time display. Among the rarest variant of its kind, the present watch is part of a limited edition of 8 pieces, specially designed in 2007 for De Boulle, the American retailer based in Texas.

Housed within a traditional platinum case, the model is made apparent by its dual-toned ‘tuxedo’ dial in silver and ruthenium. An alluring visual dissonance is created by the layering of a Clous de Paris guilloche centre, a dimmed outer track that highlights the embossed Arabic numerals, along with the sunken power reserve and sweeping seconds sub-registers. Another subtle yet seductive detail is the brand’s signature blued steel hands. This iconic feature forms a beautiful contrast against the silver dial, which not only is easy on the eyes but is also highly functional as it enhances legibility.

Appearing at Phillips Auctions for the first time, the present example is one of a limited edition of eight F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain watches, tailored for “DeBoulle”. Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, the opportunity to secure this timepiece is as rare as the dress watch itself.

Offered in several variations, the key objective of the F.P. Journe Souverain collection is chronometric precision. Even though its design pays homage to traditional chronometers, it has been executed in a subtly contemporary fashion with its vibrant guilloché dial and power reserve and seconds indications placed in an original manner at 3 o’clock and 7/8 o’clock respectively.

The beauty of this watch is not only on the dial side but by turning it over one can only be dazzled by its superbly hand finish movement that presents the extreme rare particularity of being in solid 18K pink gold. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that Journe’s production of pink gold pieces is lower than that of his pieces in platinum, making the present slightly more desirable.

Contemporary, elegant yet very classic, this timepiece is the perfect match between the genius of its creator and the elegance of a timeless design, the present Chronomètre Souverain is tailored for collectors of independent modern horological artisans.

THE PRESENT LOT IS A PREMIUM LOT

A prelude of an independent watchmaker is never plain sailing, often as solitary artisan fighting for their vision to be acknowledged for their works, expressing the uncompromising creativity that are truly unique and of extreme beauty. Their success deserves the greatest respect in preserving the art of horology and innovating for the generations to come.To truly appreciate the beauty and importance of the F. P Journe Tourbillon Anniversaire Historique T30, it is hard not to mention the first ever watch that marks the beginning of Mr. Francois Paul Journe’s story. A first to bear his name on the dial, not just any pocket watch, but one that has a tourbillon and spring detent escapement made all by a pair human-hands.

This brings us back to 1977, at the age of 20 of the young apprentice to his uncle Michel Journe, where he was exposed to some of the greatest forerunners of watchmaking Abraham-Louis Breguet and George Daniels, notably these tourbillons were often seen with one of Michel’s top client Sir Cecil Clutton. With incredible fascination while lacking the funds to acquire one for himself, the rebellious young Journe took the challenge and decided to make one himself. Taking five years to complete until 1983, signed “F.P. Journe A Paris” on the dial, this pocket watch in many ways pays tribute to his inspirations with sublime aesthetics such as the obvious oversized blued screws on the movement, and would later become blueprints of his wristwatches.

Fast forwarding to 2013 with immense success of his eponymous brand, F. P. Journe celebrated his remarkable beginning with the Tourbillon Anniversaire Historique T30, the 30th anniversary of his first ever creation. Made for his friends and important clients only 99 pieces were ever produced, making this a truly rare gem. Elegant in proportion at 40mm diameter, the combination of sterling silver with engine turned guilloche details, pink gold bezel and hunter caseback mirroring the original pocket watch in grace. Uncluttered with simplicity exhibiting a fine granular white dial with engraved Roman numerals and railway tracks, the signature “Invenit et Fecit” is inscribed as a nod to the conventions a century ago. Perfect in every detail, the blued hands and screws on the dial side echoes what is hidden beneath this timepiece harmoniously. Turning the watch over, the guilloché decorated hinged caseback reveals the drop dead gorgeous gilt brass movement accented by highly polished and beveled edges with bridges, plates and large blued screws reminiscent of 19th century Breguet pocket watches. Its proportion? Simply divine. Highly coveted the T30 presented is numbered 22 of a limited edition of 99 pieces, one of which to be the earliest example to ever appear in the auction market. Beautifully aged with an extremely attractive patina on its silver case, the timepiece is accompanied with its original certificate and box. Till this day, the T30 is one of two tourbillon models ever produced by Journe where the movement is hidden from the front of the watch. A retrospective by the watchmaker, a tribute to passion, a grail and toast to humble beginnings, this present T30 is one of the most important timepieces that Journe collectors need.

Since its conception in 1994, the Lange 1 has been regarded as one of the most distinguishable members of the A. Lange & Söhne family.

for its distinct design DNA, this model combines traditional Saxon watchmaking with a well-balanced contemporary configuration that is easy on the eyes. A stalwart of the German tastemaker, the refreshing Lange 1 was part of the novelties launched to mark the revival of the brand following their initial cessation in 1948. The now-iconic asymmetric dial was not just introduced to garner unanimous recognition among collectors but was also a statement piece that echoes their vision of a dress watch for the modern gentry.

colours that shines through its surface. Sublime and divine, mother of pearl is an extremely delicate material that requires only the most skilled artisans to perfect and carve on. Framed in a white gold case, the present example retains all the captivating elements of a Lange 1, fitted with the patented oversized date windows, power reserve indication and the in-house caliber L901.4.

in excellent overall conditions, the present Lange 1 Soirée is a rare bird, designed to impress and will immediately elevate any outfit.

Executed to perfection, the 1815 flyback chronograph is a statement to the industry of the level of precision and micro engineering that A. Lange & Söhne is capable of taking inspiration from the brand’s historic pocket chronographs, the 1815 chronograph debuted in 2004 and was available in an attractive combination of a white gold case paired with argenté dial and blued steel hands with the ref 401.026, as well as a pink gold version with matching pink gold hands on black dial with ref, 401.031. On the movement side, a horological metropolis from the L.951.0 can be witnessed composed of the firm’s signature German silver with a hand-engraved balance cock. Practically the same calibre as the Datograph with the absence of the big date mechanism, the movement and its architecture is perhaps where most would surrender to.The collection had an evolution of a total of three generation with design nuances that sets them apart. Introduced with the ref. 401.026 measuring at 39.5mm, the design

is kept rather simple and elegant featuring an attractive sloped outer ring that carries the pulsometer scale and logo surrounding the dial, the two smaller recessed registers sits slightly below the crown where later generations have larger registers in comparison. The present first generation example of the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 chronograph in 18K white gold fitted with an attractive and clean silvery dial with blued hands is with no doubt a handsome timepiece. Offered with the full set of accessories, the watch is also presented in excellent overall condition and is the perfect additional for the purist.

Roger W. Smith Series 2

Roger W. Smith OBE is no doubt one of the most respected living figures in modern horology.

At the age of 16, his discovered his zest for life while studying at the British School of Watchmaking and became a Bronze Medallist of the Horological Institute upon graduating in 1989. Recognised as the most exceptional student of his class, Roger met the late Dr George Daniels around that time—the man who would forever alter the course of his life and lead him to become the flag-bearer of British timekeeping. For a while, the young apprentice found himself unfulfilled after starting his career at the TAG Heuer repairs department. With the desire to push for excellence, he approached Daniels offering his apprenticeship, but was bitterly turned down. Instead of wallowing in selfpity, the master watchmaker’s refusal pushed Smith to resign from TAG Heuer all together and set out to build his first fully handcrafted tourbillon pocket watch with detent escapement in his parents’ garage. Despite 18 months' worth of blood, sweat and tears, Daniels was not yet satisfied with his creation, which forced him to return his workbench for another five and a half years, working on his second creation, a tourbillon pocket watch with a perpetual calendar. This time, Smith’s presentation of his completely self-made timepiece made an impression on the English icon. With these heartening words, “Congratulations, you are now a watchmaker”, he became Daniels’ only apprentice and colleague in 1998, as the pair worked on ground-breaking projects such as the Millenium series together.

In 2001, Roger embarked on his own journey as a watchmaker and put down roots alongside his mentor on the Isle of Man. The Series 1 was Smith’s first serially produced wristwatch, boasting strong Daniels influences. Unlike his now-iconic rounded wristwatches, Smith’s inaugural collection was rectangular with retrograde date function, produced for only three years between 2001 and 2004. According to the watchmaker, the quadrilateral case of the Series 1 was also a nod to A. Lange & Söhne’s then-newly released stadium shaped “Arkade”. Perhaps not the most well-known of their early releases, this model made an impact on Roger nonetheless, due to its perfectly moulded movement that fits perfectly in its case. Finally, the time had come for Smith to settle into his role as an independent watchmaker. His ability to detect flaws within the craft and find ways to address them is highly regarded amongst his peers. Whether it was solving a slippage issue in the Daniels’ Co-Axial Escapement or fine-tuning long-date-hands covering information on triple calendar watches, the man is shaking up the industry with his ingenuity.

Following his inaugural collection, the first batch of Series 2 was delivered in late 2007, cementing the Roger W. Smith distinct design codes and craftsmanship. A quintessential gentleman’s watch, his second collection is the embodiment of three centuries worth of refinement, knowledge, and legacy of British horology, represented in a 38mm or 40mm round dress watch– all painstakingly built and finished manually by Smith and his few trusted artisans. Along with its dial and case, the movement within is also fully in-house, made with Daniels’ co-axial escapement. The Co-Axial Escapement is arguably the most outstanding British innovations in haute horology. Initially composed of two conjoining gears, Roger takes on the legacy of his mentor’s invention and improved it with a similar looking single-piece escape wheel in 2010.

The present example is a Series 2 with a 40mm case, made in 2011 and delivered in 2012. Boasting an exquisite, silvered dial, the outer chapter is adorned with engraved black minute markers, with a trough rachet work that highlights the second chapter of hand-carved Roman numerals. The heart of the dial reveals yet another stepped level finished with a hand-turned basket weave pattern. From its lean pink gold hands to the curved cartouche at 12 o’clock, everything is hand-crafted in-house by the watchmaker. The power reserve indicator at 10 o’clock flaunts a basket-worked guilloche in the opposing direction, topped with an engraved chapter on a polished silver strip and pink gold up-and-down hand, bringing added dimension to the dial. Lastly, the large sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock is finished with an understated hobnail pattern, complete with a grained seconds chapter boasting drilled dotted second markers that frames the slender pink gold seconds hand with a rounded tip. Bridging the gap between aesthetic execution and technical refinement, the sapphire caseback of the present timepiece reveals an impressive traditional movement, inspired by the quintessential British pocket watches of Tompion, Graham and Arnold. Like the dial, the in-house caliber— equipped with a Single-wheeled Co-Axial Escapement—is equally beautiful. Complemented with frosted finishings, the commanding three-quarter main plate offers an understated warm gold tone canvas for the unique Baroquestyle hand-engraved raised barrel bridge and balance cock, customised to the original owner’s taste.

Throughout the two decades of watchmaking in isolation, only 120 watches have left his work bench in the Isle of Man. Exceptionally well-preserved and complete with its original accessories, the present opportunity to become the owner of this pink gold Series 2 is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The ultimate testament of British watchmaking, this stellar example that will surely excite discerned collectors of important independently made timepieces.

The absolute greatest watchmaker of the 20th century, a visionary icon of British watchmaking, Dr. George Daniels truly lived up to the definition of determination, innovation and dedication. Relentless in pushing the boundaries as an individual and in the world of horology, Daniels singlehandedly challenged the quartz crisis in the late 60s with his impeccable skills of the 34 trades requisite in creating a watch entirely by hand. During the new dawn of quartz watches, Daniels’s inception of his ground breaking Co-axial escapement changed the landscape of horological innovation since Thomas Mudge’s invention of the lever escapement in 1755, that’s 250 years of history.

Lever escapements in conventional watchmaking requires lubricants and always has its shortfalls on long-term accuracy, whether by temperature, shock or aging. The Co-axial escapement by Daniels in 1975 draws on elements from the detent escapement that functions with a three pallets system that separate the locking function from the impulse, thus avoiding possible sliding friction, omitting the viscosity of lubricants once and for all. “My association with the Omega Company goes back fifty years to the time when I worked as a young watchmaker in London with Omega watches…I know that the integrity of their products is as great now as ever it was and so their interest in the Co-Axial was most important to me.—Dr. George Daniels” With rigorous testing and modification following almost twenty-five years of discussion with multitude of Swiss brands, the Co-axial escapement finally took its revolutionary turning point in mechanical watchmaking in 1999.

Debuted at Baselworld, Omega announced a new limited series for the DeVille linage as the first serially produced timepieces featuring the Co-axial escapement made under the direct aegis of George Daniels himself. Notably the prototype numbered 000/999 engraved “To Our Friend George Daniels, From Omega Ltd. April 30, 1999” was presented to Daniels to celebrate this milestone. The ground-breaking innovation was a success with remarkable performance. Phillips is honoured to present the DeVille with Co-Axial skeleton movement set to our dear collectors. A tribute to the grand tradition of the art of Mr. Daniels and Omega master watchmakers, each skeletonized movement crafted by hand is therefore, unique. Three exclusive sets of the Omega DeVille Co-Axial Skeleton were ever made and numbered in each metal: yellow, pink and white gold. Exposed with intricacy, the Omega caliber 2402— an exclusive skeletonized version of the caliber 2500 with the Co-Axial escapement in each metal are paired with faceted blued steel skeleton leaf-shaped hands and indexes. Daniels himself used the blued steel technique on some of his most famous timepieces, including the Grand Complication and the Space Traveller. Numbered 3/3, the present set is the last one to be produced and is preserved in an impeccable condition accompanied with its original accessories and memorabilia.

An exceedingly rare opportunity to own a set of wristwatches that features this achievement, one in which Dr. George Daniel’s had a personal and intimate role in its creation, the DeVille Co-Axial Skeleton set is a true collectible for every watch lover.

Coveted for its robust sports watches, the Rolex catalogue is unexpectedly inclusive with diverse aesthetics catered to varied personalities. In the 1970s, Rolex produced the last of their pocket watches in delicate white and yellow gold variants attached to the ultra-elegant Cellini collection.

The present timepiece has been well preserved for over 40 years and is still in excellent overall condition. Encased in yellow gold, the dial is in the same warm and inviting hue, featuring a railway track surrounded by Roman numerals and a pair of hands, all in black livery. Finished with an ethereal sunburst effect, the dial shimmers under the sun as light hits its surface. Devoted to Benvenuto Cellini, the present example is a true reflection of the Cellini collection, which very much takes after the 16th-century master goldsmith’s dedication to methods of engraving, casting metal and perfecting intricate details.

A world premiere, the Rolex Datejust was first released in 1945 via the ref. 4467 being the first ever self-winding wristwatch with a date function. Made to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the firm, the Datejust quickly gained a cult-like following being one of the most iconic timepieces in the history of Rolex. Over the years, the design of the Datejust has remained consistent with upgrades implemented to enhance its practicality and robustness.

The Datejust ref. 1601 was first released in the late 1950s featuring a 36mm diameter case and equipped with cal. 1560. While it was released with examples in stainless steel and gold, a wide array of dial variations were made available.

The present Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 from circa 1964 belongs to a rare version cased in 14K yellow gold fitted with a desirable glossy black dial with gilt texts. Offered in attractive overall condition boasting a nice dial with excellent luster, the present example is a handsome example of an iconic vintage Datejust.

The Rolex Datejust was first introduced in 1945, with the ref. 4467, in celebration of the firm’s 40th anniversary. Being the world’s first waterproof automatic wristwatch to incorporate a date disc and aperture at 3 o’clock, it enjoyed instant recognition upon its release. The ref. 1601 came onto the scene much later in 50s in various metals with fluted jubilee bezels, along with variants of cases and bracelets in stainless steel, bicoloured or golds.

Preserved in excellent condition, the present example is fitted with a warm silvered sunburst pie-pan dial, complimented by gilt faceted baton hands and indexes and a well-preserved bezel. The caseback is further adorned with a unique engraving, “A DIN DON POPPI S.p.A”, possibly to commemorate a joyous personal memory or event. Encased in 18K pink gold, this timepiece is a classic Datejust model that will never go out of style and can be worn on any occasion.

Marking the beginning of a new era, Rolex introduced the ref. 1680 in 1966, the first Submariner reference to feature a Cyclopes date function. Initially launched in stainless steel, the early examples featured the desired red “Submariner” dial and it was not until a few years later that Rolex introduced its elevated 18K yellow gold counterpart. Another milestone yet, the ref. 1680 in yellow gold was also Rolex’s first Submariner to be encased in the precious metal to cater towards the luxury demand followed with professional capabilities.

Adding a hint of flare and flamboyance to the famed professional diver’s wristwatch, gold examples were offered with two options, a matte black dial with a black bezel insert or a metallic blue dial with a blue bezel insert. Equally stunning in each combination, the present example features a well-preserved matte black nipple dial with matching black bezel. Extremely masculine and stunning, the gold date wheel is a perfect contrast against its rich dial, a truly coherent design through and through. The black bezel insert has slightly aged with a faded gun metal grey, giving this watch a taste of vintage charm. Presented in an attractive overall condition and paired with an 18K gold Rolex Oyster bracelet, this is the Submariner that won’t go wrong dressing up, or down.

Regarded by collectors as one of the most celebrated references from the Daytona collection, the ref. 6263 was first released alongside its sister model ref. 6265 in 1969 replacing the firm’s first screw-down Daytona ref. 6240. While both references feature the newly upgraded cal. 727, the difference between the ref. 6263 and the 6265 is the option for its black and metallic bezel insert. Most examples of the reference were manufactured in stainless steel, research indicates that approximately 100 examples of the reference were cased in yellow gold each year across a production span of over 20 years, making these gold examples rare indeed.

The Daytona is sought after for its versatility, durability and modern aesthetics. Adding a flare of flamboyance compared to its stainless steel counterparts, it is a perfect timepiece to be worn by sportsmen or businessmen alike and looks just as impressive on the beach or the boardroom. While gold examples were made available at the time with both 14K and 18K gold variants, with 14K examples believed to be mostly delivered to the American market, the gold cases were distinguished by the difference in its sheen and hue.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph ref. 6263 in 18K yellow gold with an 8.8 million serial from circa 1985 with a black dial belongs to a later generation of the reference featuring a movement number engraved on the plate behind the balance wheel. Research suggests that this was related to the officially certified chronometer movement. Offered in attractive overall condition, this rare and handsome example of the coveted ref. 6263 in gold will surely garner the attention of collectors of fine vintage timepieces.

A quintessential gentleman of the late 19th and 20th century is never without his pocket watch. Similar to watches today, this was not only a form of portable timekeeper, but was also a symbol of status that can help define a man. While pocket watches are largely seen as a novelty in this day and age, they are however an important threshold in the history of horology that should never be disregarded. Preserved in excellent overall condition, the present pink gold Patek Philippe pocket watch is a wonderful example of this bygone era, retailed by “The Queen’s Gift Shop”, Asprey.

Without a doubt, the Swiss manufacturer has long mastered the art of traditional haute horology. Revered for their elegant designs and excellence in complicated movements, their creations are the epitome of mechanical marvel, associated with many luminaries such as the famed Henry Graves Super complication. On par with their Swiss counterpart, Asprey is the embodiment of British luxury, a well-established two-century-old London retailer of extravagance by Royal appointment. Founded in 1781, the House of Asprey was most recognised for supplying jewellery, crowns and other such novelties to the Royal family, along with celebrities and tycoons, like Ringo Starr and J.P. Morgan. As a retailer of watches, they made a name for themselves as a dealer of Swiss watchmakers, among which, is Patek Philippe.

The present openface pocket watch is a classic example of the exceptional workmanship and understated design Patek Philippe is renowned for. Boating a white dial with both the marker and the retailer’s signatures, it is complemented by applied contemporary Roman numerals and a large smallseconds register. Offered with its fitted presentation box and an Extract from the Archives confirming its origin, this timepiece is the only one known in the market signed by Asprey, certainly an example not to not to be missed by the discerning collector.

Recognised for creating some of the world’s most divine pocket watches, the Patek Philippe Chonometro Gondolo is certainly blessed with an interesting legacy. Named after an established retailer in Rio de Janerio, the collection was the consequence of a collaboration between Patek Phillippe and Gondolo & Labouriau, from 1872 to 1927. Primarily focusing on pocket watches only, the collection then expanded to include wristwatches in the 1920s to satisfy the rising demand for Swiss-made timepieces. Prior to the explosive popularity of the firm, their Brazilian partner established the “Gondolo Gang”, which was an ingenious marketing scheme that enticed a new market of gentlemen to each invest in a watch, or in other words, an asset. This was by no means an organised group of criminals but a community of like-minded enthusiasts with a common appreciation for haute horology.

In 1902, Patek Philippe created this series of pocket watches with the

inscription “Chronometro Gondolo” above the signature on the dial. Powered by the cal. 21”’, the movement is equipped with a specific request for gold gear trains with keyless winding, tailored for Brazil’s hot and humid conditions. Furthermore, the cuvette is engraved with the retailer’s signature.

The present example is encased in pink gold, flaunting a crisp white enamel dial with small seconds. Tastefully executed both inside and out, the movement is hand-finished with the main bridge further engraved with the watchmaker’s initials and manufacture date, “PAT. 13 Jan 1891”. Beautifully preserved in excellent overall condition and further delivered with an Extract from the Archives, it is confirmed that the caseback inscription of “JAB.” is indeed original. These initials most likely belong to one of the members from the original Gondolo Gang, making this pocket watch essentially unique with its own untold story.

Enamelled timepieces are mesmerising, to say the least, but the creation of enamel paintings lies somewhere between science, art and alchemy. The long-established art of miniature enamelling is hard to master and demands a painstakingly complex process of painting and furnacing, known as polychrome enamel, in which the artist applies the material directly onto a surface. Resulting in an exquisite and delicate portrait of vivid colours and lustrous sheen, this meticulous process transforms timepieces into veritable works of art. Patek Philippe is one of the last few manufacturers that preserves the delicate craft of miniature enamelling. These pieces are, in general, personally commissioned by collectors and represent a chosen subject matter such as celebrated paintings, landscapes, or even family members. Each masterpiece uniquely hand-painted to the owner’s taste and it is no wonder why these Patek Philippe enamelled watches are so unattainable and rarely seen on the market.

The present ref. 866/12 is a Patek Phillippe open-face watch in yellow gold. Portraying a monumental miniature painting of “Guerre des Souabes”, otherwise known as the Swabian War or Swiss War, the artwork is realised by none other than Marthe Bischoff (1900-1991), the talented Genevan master enamellist. Celebrated for her diverse style drawn from the Old Masters to notable 19th-century paintings, her career began in the 60s under the employment of Patek Philippe where she worked alongside other “champions”, such as Suzanne Rohr and Helene Many Mercier. With only a few specimens surfaced on the market, one must usually travel to Geneva to admire the two examples of her work, exhibited at the Patek Philippe Museum. Fortunately, Bischoff’s mastery of miniature enamelling is on full display with the present lot, making this opportunity to appreciate her craft as rare as the pocket watch itself.

As mentioned above, the enamel embellished case depicts Bischoff’s interpretation of the Swabian War in 1499, the final act of the bloody conflict between the Old Swiss Confederacy and Habsburg of Austria with the Swabian League. The cruel and devastating victory of the Swiss ultimately resulted in their independence from the Holy Roman Empire. With the ingenious play of light and shade, Bischoff differentiates the victors and the defeated with the subtle contrast of the pleasant blue skyline on the right and the dark and gloomy background on the left. The strategic diagonal composition also brings the escaping Habsburg soldier and the advancing Swiss cavalier together, creating a tension of push and pull that draws the viewer’s eye to the centre. Stoically captured on this minuscule “canvas”, Bischoff’s ability to portray the prelude, provocation and international tensions with a stroke of motion shows exactly how competent and dexterous she truly is as a master enamellist.

Contrary to the elaborate caseback, the present timepiece features a minimalist warm white dial, complemented by black divides with dauphine hands in the same hue as the case and faceted baton indexes in matte silver with applied yellow gold. Offered in an attractive condition, this is a rare opportunity for pocket watch collectors and connoisseurs of fine enamelling to acquire this important work of art by one of the greatest enamel artists, Marthe Bischoff.

PATEK PHILIPPE Guerre des Souabes

very fine, attractive and rare yellow gold wristwatch with small seconds and applied Breguet numerals

One of the most handsome of its time, the Patek Philippe ref. 565 was first released in 1938 being the firm’s first large waterproof wristwatch featuring a two-piece case with a screwed down caseback. While its appeal is somewhat elegant and destined for the red carpet, the robust construction of the case including an additional dust cover beneath the caseback was implemented to protect the movement against humidity and magnetism, also referred to as “amagnetic”.

First released with cal. 12”’120 featuring small seconds, the caliber was upgraded in 1950 with cal. 12”400. Another variant featuring center seconds was introduced shortly after the introduction of the reference. Identifiable via key no. 11, the two-piece screwed down case was made by master casemaker Taubert.

The present example ref. 565 in yellow gold from 1950 fitted with cal. 12”’120 is one of the last examples before the transition to cal. 12”’400. Extremely attractive and highly desirable, it is fitted with one of the most valuable dial variants featuring applied gold Breguet numerals. Not only is it rare, the state of preservation of the present timepiece is one of the most impressive seen in recent times. Fresh-to-the-market, the present ref. 565 is the 14th example to appear in the market with the caliber 12”’120 . Boasting a clean dial with desirable raised enamel signature, the case features strong bevels as well as two crisp and deep hallmarks. Further delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its production in 1950, this is a fantastic opportunity for collectors of fine vintage timepieces to acquire a rare, desirable and well-preserved example of the coveted ref. 565 in yellow gold.

Patek Philippe Ref. 2499

Praised by many and yet rarely seen by most, the Patek Philippe ref. 2499 is with no doubt an absolute treasure in the rich heritage of the firm. To many collectors, it is perhaps one of the most impressive wristwatches ever made by any manufacturer. Regarded as the most prestigious manufacturer of timepiece of the utmost quality, elegance and importance, Patek Philippe has garnered a loyal following of collectors through their technical mastery and great horological innovations. However, it was one of the firm’s most prized innovations that have secured their position as an all-time great, the perpetual calendar chronograph. Being the first ever manufacture to release the world’s first perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch in 1941 via the ref. 1518, it paved a new path of what would come next. Taking over the important reign in 1951, Patek Philippe released the coveted ref. 2499, which was still the only wristwatch with such complication available in the market at the time. Utilizing the same movement cal. 13-130 (Valjoux VZ 23 base) as the ref. 1518, the ref. 2499 boasted a completely new and refreshed case design. While the ref. 1518 features a rather traditional Calatrava inspired case with thin and elegant elongated lugs reminiscent of the stylistic period of the 1940s, collectors believe that the ref. 2499 is the perfect interpretation of a timeless appeal.

With excellent proportions and perfect symmetry, the ref. 2499 features an elegant bassine-style case with distinctive fluted lugs. Early examples of the reference featured a tachymeter scale, applied gold Arabic numerals and square chronographic pushers that are similar to the ref. 1518. Discontinued in 1985 with a production spanning 34 years, only 349 examples of the ref. 2499 left the manufacturer across all metals and series resulting in an average of 9 pieces made annually.

The Patek Philippe ref. 2499 across four series:

First series (1951 – 1960): Square chronograph pushers, applied Arabic numerals and tachometer scale - of which the present lot is an example.

Second series (1955 – 1964): Round chronograph buttons, either applied baton or applied Arabic numerals and tachometer scale.

Third series (1960 – 1978): Round chronograph buttons, applied baton numerals and outer seconds divisions.

Fourth series (1978 – 1985): Round chronograph buttons, applied baton numerals, outer seconds divisions and sapphire crystal.

An extremely fine, highly important and well-preserved yellow gold perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phases

Extremely scarce, it is estimated that only 48 pieces throughout the entire production were examples from the first series across all case metals. Bearing traits that are unique to the specific series transitioning over from the ref. 1518, the first series can also be subdivided into two separate generations with cases made by two different case makers, Vichet (Key no. 9) and Wenger (Key no. 1).

Vichet Case Profile: Approx. 1951 – 1953. Identifiable via Key no. 9 inside the caseback. 36.2mm diameter. Flat caseback and elongated lugs. 9 examples known in the market in 18K yellow gold.

Wenger Case Profile: Approx. 1953 – 1960. Identifiable via Key no. 1 inside the caseback. 37.5mm diameter. Domed caseback with slightly shorter lugs. 24 examples (including the present example) known in the market in 18K yellow gold.

With extensive research and findings of the ref. 2499 by dedicated scholars’ overs the years, it is to our knowledge that a total of two dial variations for the first series were produced.

Dial A: Similar to the dials featured in ref. 1518. Applied gold Arabic numerals with tachometer scale in Kilometers or Miles. With “Chemin de Fer”.

Dial B: Applied gold Arabic numerals with tachometer scale in Kilometers or Miles. Without “Chemin de Fer”. (The present example)

While dials from the first series ref. 2499 in respect to “Dial A” and “Dial B” are very similar to dials seen in the ref. 1518, there are specific traits that separate them apart.

- The very first examples of the ref. 2499 features a “Chemin de Fer” or “Railway” date scale like the ref. 1518. Usually featured on cases made by Vichet.

- Examples of ref. 2499 with “Dial A” should have a smaller gap between the outer track and the “Chemin de Fer” compared to dials featured on the ref. 1518.

- Examples with cases made by Wenger are mostly seen with “Dial B”.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual are among some of the most beloved and valued that the firm has produced over the decades since the mid-1980s. While most examples were cased in either a 36mm or a 39mm diameter case, it is not widely known that the second ever produced Royal Oak ref. 8638 was designed initially for the lady collector. The present example Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual ref. 25800ST was designed mainly for ladies featuring an attractive 33mm diameter case.

First released in 1996, the ref. 25800ST is most definitely one of the smallest perpetual calendar wristwatches ever produced. Well-balanced, attractive with good legibility, this is surely one of the most interesting and rare Royal Oak perpetual calendars of all time. Powered by the cal. 2141/2806, the movement was specifically designed for the present reference to cater towards its smaller case. The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantieme Perpetual ref. 25800ST is offered in attractive overall condition that has been serviced by Audemars Piguet in the past.

Delivered with an Audemars Piguet Extract form the Archives confirming the register date of the present timepiece on 28th February 1997.

In 1997, Audemars Piguet unveiled a series of limited edition watches to commemorate the handover of Hong Kong to China. After being colonized by the British for 156 years, the cosmopolitan city was re-established as a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. To mark this momentous milestone, the ref. 25852 triple calendar was released with 97 examples in stainless steel with a blue dial and 19 examples in pink gold also with a blue dial. While the Royal Oak Offshore Triple Calendar timepieces were first released in 1996, the commemorative editions featured something spectacular and unique, a Chinese calendar roulette calendar. Furthermore, each of these examples featured a caseback inscribed with the important date of the Handover as well as its individual limited edition numbers.

The present stainless steel example is numbered 70 out of 97 pieces. For collectors who are looking for something special but not too flashy to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak as well as the 25th anniversary of the handover, this is certainly the one to acquire.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. The exposed new cal. 2972 on the openworked dial is exactly what horological aficionados have been waiting for, a naked variant of the cal. 2950, well-received upon its debut in 2019’s CODE 11:59. A single glance is all it takes to notice the attention to detail on the harmonised and balanced structure that shapes the movement within. The gear train essentially trickles downwards from the mainspring barrel, sitting underneath the white gold 12 o’clock hour marker, down to the flying tourbillon oscillator at six o’clock. Audemars Piguet attacks skeletonisation in a very traditional fashion. Non-essential materials such as plates and bridges are minimalised without hindering efficiency or functionality, thus encouraging light to descend on the nooks and crannies of its beating heart, typically visible only to the watchmaker assembling the caliber himself. According to the manufacturer, the combination of CNC and EDM erosion machines were used to perfect the extremely intricate details of the three-dimensional architecture that cannot be achieved by hand. To further mark the momentous milestone of this model, a 22K white gold hollowed “50 Years” winding rotor is revealed through the sapphire caseback. The rotor will only be included in watches produced in 2022, after which they will revert back to the ordinary rotor.

THE PRESENT LOT IS A PREMIUM LOT

The Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon with a skeletonised dial was launched earlier this year along with its entourage of Royal Oak novelties made to commemorate the model’s 50th anniversary. For those keeping track, the first Royal Oak with a flying tourbillon was unveiled in 2020. But in favour of the tapisserie dial collectors are familiar with, the ref. 26735ST is Audemars Piguet’s inaugural onslaught of a fully openworked configuration with such a complication.

This is a watch tied to the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, so of course, the model’s lineage is largely at play here as well. Audemars Piguet initially released the world’s first automatic tourbillon wristwatch in 1986, and the first tourbillon to join the Royal Oak family was introduced exactly 25 years ago, in 1997. Just two years after that, the skeletonised tourbillon quickly came onto the scene in 1999, and the first flying tourbillon debuted at Audemars Piguet in a Royal Oak Concept in 2018. The flying tourbillon was also featured in collectors’ favourite action figure watch, the daunting Royal Oak Concept Black Panther from 2021, also available in the current auction.

All things considered, the present Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked, 50th Anniversary edition, is a sublime work of art, encased in a 41mm stainless steel case with strong notes of a traditional Royal Oak. Presented in “like-new” condition and complete with its original accessories, this is an irresistible opportunity to secure the mechanical marvel at hand, designed to impress, even non-watch-believers. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

AUDEMARS PIGUET

The 50th Anniversary Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked

Audemars Piguet continued the expansion of the Royal Oak with the introduction of reference 25977, a tourbillon chronograph launched in 2003 and produced until 2013 in very small numbers.

The present Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph is impressive in absolutely every sense, from its large 44mm stainless steel case to the complications it houses. Reference 25977ST became immediately a grail for Audemars Piguet aficionados as it reunites - from a technical standpoint - the chronograph and the tourbillon, two of the most beloved and sought-after horological complications.

Two versions have been made for the model, one with a monochromatic black variant and a much more edgy variant like the present example. Sporting an energetic grand tapisserie dial in blue with red chronograph accents, the super-luminova brings the timepiece alive with its charming baby blue hues. Powered by the manual wound caliber 2889 beating at 21,6000vph, this giant provides up to 72 hours of activities. Highly collectible and a pleasure to admire on the wrist with the beating tourbillon, this present example from 2004 is further preserved in a pristine condition that will charm every collector.

An icon of the swinging sixties crafted by the great maker of shaped watches, the Cartier Crash remains, not just one of the most radical designs born in 1967 but one of the greatest throughout the decades. With a mysterious origin of the birth of this model, rumour has it that the inspiration comes from a melted Cartier Baignoire from the fire of a car crash, others refer it to the surrealist Salvador Dali’s most recognised work, Persistence of Memory. While the tale of the timepiece is compelling and romantic, the origin was addressed in Francesca Cartier Brickell’s book, The Cartiers, where she recounts a conversation with her grandfather Jean-Jacques Cartier, about how the audacity of the design was sketched out with artisan Rupert Emmerson.

The Cartier Crash is certainly a superlative timepiece and it is perhaps the most celebrated and sought-after Cartier wristwatch ever by esteemed collectors. The present timepiece produced in the early 1990s is one of the rarest variants amongst its breed, the Cartier Crash in platinum. Extremely limited in production, to date, no more than a handful of examples have graced the auction market. Furthermore, those who do own one hardly ever sell them due to the rarity of the model, which underlies the exceptional desirability of the present timepiece. Cased in the cool of platinum, the Crash features an extraordinarily warm off white dial, each Roman numeral painted with the classic black colour, making the iconic blued steel hand stands out immediately when one gaze upon the watch. Gorgeously preserved, the present example with a voluptuous case and sinuous contour uninterrupted is a gem for many. With roaring demands for the Cartier Crash in recent times, the present example is surely a rare opportunity that hardly ever surface for the discerned collector yearning for this beloved icon.

Not many watches are truly timeless, but when it comes to Cartier, their designs are as popular today as they were a century ago. Champions of elegant icons, the Parisian Maison took the world by storm with the introduction of the Baignoire in 1957, a model that was made to last beyond the peak of the “Swinging Sixties”. Shaping the history of traditional watchmaking with adventurous forms, the manufacturer steered away from their distinctive angular cases and revived a “bathtub” shaped wristwatch inspired by its unnamed predecessor from 1912. Boasting beautiful proportions, this chic modern heirloom graced the wrists of legendary style symbols such as actresses Catherine Deneuve, Romy Schneider and Jeanne Moreau.

If the shape of the original Baignoire is daring, the out-stretched form of the Baignoire Allongée is downright audacious. Well received among watch collectors, the successful second chapter of the model was born in 1973, sporting a slender oval case that was previously only ever produced by Cartier’s London and New York workshops. Beautifully balanced and statuesque, the elongated iteration notably became the muse behind the exciting and exotic Cartier Crash.

True to its original design, the present white gold example is no ordinary Baignoire Allongée. Featuring a dial with Clous de Paris guilloche, the warm white canvas is completed with coral red dramatic Roman numerals and a pair of sword hands finished in blued steel. Topped with a signature cabochon sapphire crown and a white gold Grain de Riz bracelet, this timepiece is no doubt the rarest of its kind, crafted to make heads turn.

Produced at the turn of the millennium, the present Baignoire Allongée is a well-preserved specimen in excellent overall condition. Sporting a slim profile and a slightly curved case, this is the perfect dress watch for the modern gentry as it wears comfortably on the wrist and is a versatile piece that can be worn on any occasion.

There are few iconic designs that are as relevant today as they were a century ago, when it comes to experimenting with various shapes with distinctive personality, the Parisian house of luxury goods Cartier is certainly one of the most influential icon. With the 1950’s being a prolific period for innovative design and aesthetics, the Baignoire was certainly one of them. Introduced in 1957 and available in the New York and London Boutiques of the maison, the Baignoire features an oval shaped case, the appeal of the case resembles the shape of the bathtub, hence its name. Soon after its introduction, the brand further experimented with the model and introduced the Baignoire Allongée with an elongated twist based on its original. Well-balanced with and elegant sense of proportion, the Baignoire Allongée notably became the muse behind the iconic Cartier Crash.

Faithful to its original design, the present pink gold variant of the Baignore Allongée from circa 2000s is dressed with glamour and elegance of Parisian chic. Adorned with diamonds in contrast with the ivory hued guilloché dial, the sword hands are finished in blued steel which adds a nice touch of colour to its lavish appeal. Although it measures with a dramatic 47mm by 21mm case, its curved shape wraps around the wrist with incredible comfort. Featuring the classic Roman numerals and secret signature and 7 o’clock and preserved in a stunning condition, the present example is a timepiece of elegance and class.

Rolex reference 16520 is among one of the most distinctive and innovative models to date. Housing a modified Zenith-based caliber 4030, the model was fitted with the first automatic chronograph movement in the firm’s history. At the time of its launch in 1988, the watch garnered an immediate waiting list at Rolex retailers – much like its descendant, the reference 116500LN would do in 2016. As it often happens with Rolex timepieces, one can notice a subtle but well-defined evolution of the dial design in the early years of the model.

Deemed with the nickname “Floating Cosmograph” or “Staccato” amongst Italian collectors, the early specimens from the R to L serial of the 16520 features 5 lines of text below the cornet, with a noticeable 5th line “Cosmograph” spaced further away from the above. With the production for the reference 16520 ceased in 2000 and replaced by 116520, the earlier examples bearing the inverted “6” on the dial and the “floating” Cosmograph were produced in very limited quantities.

The present specimen bearing a R serial boasting a strong case is also fitted with the period correct bezel. The very first iteration features tachymeter scale that stops at 200. Later iterations were altered to a 400 units scale (first, for a short while, featuring indications for 200, 225, 250, 300 and 400 units per hour; later, featuring a simpler layout with 200, 240, 300 and 400). The present timepiece with a black dial is offered in attractive overall condition making it a great opportunity for true Rolex aficionados to add an early produced timepiece to their collection.

Produced in circa 1989, the present example bearing an L serial is from the rare and coveted early examples of Zenith Daytona. The first half of the production of the “L” series houses a 4-Liner dial with a MK I 200 units per hour bezel insert, followed by a very short run of MK II bezel like the present example, where the bezel was modified with a scale for 400, 250 and 225 indications, and “units per hour” has been relocated to 1 o’clock position. Adding attraction to this incredibly well-preserved example is the feature of an inverted 6 on the 12-hour register, making this one of the most desirable combinations from the series.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16520 from circa 1989 with a “L506’701” case number and a correct “18’981” movement number featuring a white dial and MK II bezel is offered with its full set of accessories and preserved in attractive overall condition boasting a sharp case. For lovers and collectors of rare and desirable Daytonas, this is not only a great example to complete the missing puzzle in the collection, but the very one that is published and archived in the famous bible Daytona Perpetual book by Pucci Papaleo.

With a rich heritage of supplying military wristwatches to various organizations around the world, Rolex has been one of the most prestigious firms to do so across the decades. One of the most elite units that have undergone the Rolex treatment is the Groupe Securite Presidence Republique. An elite French presidential unit founded in 1983 and until 2007, this special unit oversees the security of the president and politicians of the French Republic.

The special unit comprises of 50 policemen, 30 military personnel and 30 police officers, each with a unique set of skills and abilities to perform to the highest standards. Trained in personal security, extraction, combat, shooting and driving.

To commemorate the elite unit which was discharged in 2007 after the presidency of the French Republic succeeded by Nicolas Sarkozy, Rolex decided to create a special limited edition timepiece of 30 examples as tokens of appreciation to the existing members of the G.S.P.R. The model used was the robust, coveted and iconic Submariner ref. 16610 featuring a black dial and bezel with a special insignia of the emblem of the elite unit featured at the 9 o’clock position of the dial. Furthermore, each individual timepiece features the emblem and the commemoration dates of the G.S.P.R as well as the individual case number engraved, which is a unique feature for Rolex timepieces.

Through its myriad of dials, bezels and bracelets, this model is often encased in precious metals, aside from its prototypes, which attests to its status as a luxury sports watch.

Referenced by scholars as the “Woman in Red”, the present timepiece is nicknamed after Gene Wilder’s romantic comedy, thanks to its seductive red dial, topped with lustrous diamond markers and printed gold text. With its breath-taking qualities and vibrant personality, the watch echoes the passionate fiery affair outlined in the film.

Produced in circa 1985, the ref. 18038 at hand is well-preserved in excellent overall condition with an attractive layer of patina throughout. Combining its rarity and striking appearance, this is the perfect wristwatch for collectors seeking the ultimate piece, born to make heads turn and invoke envy.

The Beauty of Natural Dials

Over the course of human history, we have always prized natural stones that have resurfaced on the face of the earth ever since the Greeks started using gemstones in jewellery around 1600 BC. In various cultures, different stones or gems are treasured for many reasons, as decorative objects, religious symbols, or amulets as good luck charms to ward off the evil. Regardless of why we treasure these stones, every natural stone has its unique charm, colour, texture and patterns.

While precious stones in the likes of diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds, have been used by Rolex in the past and still today, it was the introduction of the use of semi-precious Hardstone dials that have captivated collectors over the years. Till date, Rolex has incorporated a total of 25 species of hardstones for collectors to admire, with a recent introduction of Eisenkiesel.

Rolex first introduced hardstone dials in the 1970s to further elevate the space of luxury watches and to cater towards the vibrant trend of the era. The innovation to execute the wide array of stones requires various techniques that Rolex has mastered over the years, as each has its own unique composition resulting varying hardness, luster and inclusions.

Everyone has their favourite colour or colours, and hardstone dials offer more than just that, it offers a sense of uniqueness that most of these stones featured on one’s wrist are older than the human civilization, and they come in all sorts of different colours, that are natural.

From the iridescence of the various hues of mother-of-pearl and the amount of pyrite and calcite inclusions in Lapis Lazuli, sometimes it really is like a lucky draw to find the dial that resonates to you the most. Sodalite dials comes in various shades of blue, and depending on that, Rolex would either print the text in white or black to provide the optimal contrast. Fossil dials or also known as Jurassic, for its obvious reasons, are one of the hardest to execute due to the nature of its hardness, featured only on Day-Dates, Rolex displays their excellence in incorporating diamond-set indexes, gold apertures for its day and date windows and its coronet, without showing a single crack.

At the PHILLIPS Hong Kong Watch Auction: XV we are extremely thrilled to offer our collectors a selection of fine and rare Rolex Daytonas and Day-Dates featuring some of the most attractive hardstone dials Rolex has ever produced. From sodalite to meteorite, mother-of-pearl to grossular garnet rubellite, each natural hardstone dial will never be the same as one another.

Accessories

Rolex has always had a reputation for crossing conventional boundaries, experimenting with daring new materials while adhering to its timeless design DNA. Naturally beautiful and delicate, organic hardstones require experts’ extreme attention to precision and care. This is a time-consuming process which is incredibly costly as each material demands a different method of execution, depending largely on their varying levels of hardness as a result of their mineral composition. Outmanoeuvring all its competitors, Rolex was the very first to incorporate meteorite into a wristwatch. Mostly found in Day-Dates, GMT-Masters and Daytonas, Gibeon meteorite dials are highly collectable, given their ethereal aesthetics and that each example is completely unique. To produce a presentable dial, meteorites must be handpicked individually and strategically sliced with a layer of acid-wash to maximise the intensity of its texture.

The textured effect of the meteorite adds flair, movement and intrigue to the dial layout, and furthermore provides a perfect canvas for the diamond-set numerals to shine on. The calendar windows, like with all hard-stone dials, are framed in white metal. Being the very first to incorporate meteorite in a wristwatch, Rolex timepieces with its rare Gibeon meteorite dial are found mostly in the Day-Date, GMT-Master and Daytona. Due to its natural composition, each meteorite dial fitted would never be identical from one dial to another, making each example unique. For each dial made, a slice of Gibeon meteorite is precisely cut accordingly with a layer of acid-wash applied on the surface to

wristwatch with sodalite dial

Fitted with blue indigo baguette sapphire-set bezel and a blue sodalite dial, the present watch combines Rolex’s gift in gem-setting and creating beautiful movements. Known for its rigorous standards in quality, such combination requires not only the most skillful craftsmen but also patience. It is no surprise that the wastage of working with these natural mineral stones are extremely high. Each dial are crafted into incredibly thin stones which are extremely vulnerable to cracks during the manufacturing process. As each stone occurs naturally, no two sodalite dials are identical in appearance. Each one varies in shade and colour, giving each watch a unique look.

The present ref. 16589SACI is beautifully fitted with a bezel set with baguettecut blue indigo sapphires. Featuring white gold bars that perfectly align with each diamond hour indexes on the dial, the translucent charm of the blue sapphires certainly compliments the sodalite exceedingly well. With only a handful of these specimens ever produced, the present ref. 16589 bearing a W082’516 serial is possibly one of the earliest example to surface in the auction market. A similar example with a W082’519 serial, just 3 serial after has also been prominently illustrated in the Daytona Perpetual by renowned scholar and collector, Pucci Papaleo. Offered in excellent overall condition with its factory green sticker still intact on the caseback, this rare blue ensemble is a gem not to miss.

For a very short time in the early 2000s, Rolex produced one of the most playful, attractive and unusual variations of the Cosmograph Daytona: the “Daytona Beach”. It was released in four different colourways. As it often happens with many appreciated models in Rolex’s rich history, these pieces were originally regarded with a mix of surprise and amazement to their vibrant looks, but not much warmth. Only in recent years their undisputed beauty has been truly rediscovered and appreciated, making them not only one of the most collectible modern Daytona models, but also one of the most wearable indeed due to their bold and audacious appeal. Once again, Rolex proved themselves not only capable of anticipating fashion trends, but also brave enough to actually put such daring ideas to the test of the market. Such a situation will be repeated with uncanny similarity, about a decade and a half later, when the House introduced the “Rainbow” Daytona.

Marking an important debut for the Daytona, the Zenith El Primero based cal. 4030 was only used in this particular series up until 2000 when Rolex released their new line of Daytona models featuring the firm’s first ever in-house self-winding cal. 4130.

Rolex has always been known for their ingenuity in incorporating new materials such as the use of hardstone dials, collectors today have grown an appreciation for them due to its uniqueness, rarity and craftsmanship. While the firm has incorporated a total of 24 different hardstones in their exquisite timepieces, it was in 2021 when the firm subtly released their newest species, Eisenkiesel. Being the 25th hardstone to be featured in a Rolex timepiece, Eisenkiesel belongs to the family of quartz with iron inclusions that is normally found in yellow, red or brown hues. The source for this semi-precious stone can be found in Germany, Namibia, Russia and Spain. Measuring a 7 in the Mohs scale of hardness, it is not the most fragile hardstone to be featured in a Rolex. Paired beautifully against its pink gold case, the dial is further adorned with 11 baguette-cut diamond indexes, elevating its luxurious appeal to another level.

Offered for the first time at auction and preserved in “like new” overall condition with its full set of accessories intact from circa 2021, the present Rolex Day-Date 40 ref. 228235 with the newly incorporated Eisenkiesel dial will surely impress collectors of Day-Dates and moreover provides an opportunity for collectors to skip the long waiting list at the boutique to acquire one at instance.

It is fair to say that today collectors are seeing a new dimension in the Nautilus collection as 2022 marks the 45th anniversary for the famed model with the anticipation that a new chapter will be introduced marking an end to one of the greatest and most iconic periods of the Nautilus. The past decade has been an interesting one for the Nautilus, where the market witnessed the rise in demand and value on a whole new level, new complications implemented and finally, record breaking auction results.

First launched in 1976, the Patek Philippe Nautilus was the firm’s answer to the rising trend for luxury stainless steel sports watches. Designed by none other than Gearld Genta, the inspiration from a ship’s porthole is one that was familiar through the Royal Oak released four years prior. With that said, the Nautilus is certainly a class of its own featuring a streamlined design that has been refined over the years interpreted through all the references launched.

In 2016, Patek Philippe sent shockwaves through Baselworld when they revealed two limited edition references to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Nautilus via the ref. 5976/1G chronograph (limited to 1,300 pieces) and the 5711/1P-001 (limited to 700 pieces). Both presented with a never seen before shade of blue ribbed dial, with its commemoration dates stamped on the surface “1976-40-2016”, the feature is one that has never been witnessed on a Nautilus model before.

One of the most sought-after Nautilus references in the market today, the ref. 5711/1P-001 has witnessed a tremendous growth in value. With the discontinuation of the ref. 5711, the demand for the reference has sored even more.

exceptional and rare limited edition platinum chiming wristwatch with jump seconds and minutes, digital jump hour, engraved dial and case, with Certificate of Origin, made for the 175th anniversary of Patek Philippe

PATEK

Patek Philippe celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2014 by releasing a collection of six limited edition timepieces, all highlighting the manufacture’s technical skill and quality of workmanship. Each release garnered excitement and praise from collectors. Among them was the reference 5275P- a modern chiming Jump Hour wristwatch that took four years of research and development and four patents to create. Paying homage to the 1989 anniversary Jump Hour reference 3969, the 21st century example was bold and modern with a platinum engraved case, dial and a chime at the top of the hour. Patek Philippe produced only 175 examples, and the watch was the epitome of complications from their historical past and elegant aesthetic design in the tonneau-shaped case.

Amongst watch enthusiast the new caliber 32-650 HGS PS was an amazing feat of technology, with the jump hour requiring the power and energy to create the functions to happen, and energy management the heart of the movement. The manually wound 48 hour caliber allowed the time to “jump” at the hour and the minutes and seconds. Energy was stored and released with the lever and wolf’s tooth winding made from Silinvar, which is extremely light and almost friction free, allowing for little energy loss with time “jumping” and not a constant movement.

The reference 5275P is known for its grand and crisp chiming mechanism, and the combination of the dial and side of its flanks decorated with intricate engravings of floral motifs combines technical mastery representation of Patek Philippe’s excellence in watchmaking. Accompanied with certificate of origin, commemorative medal, attestation and presentation box.

With its winning title of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve for Best Design watch in 2011, the UR-110 is at the forefront of watchmaking excellence and the rebellion of radical expression on time telling of the 20th century. Equipped with three hour-satellites that orbits in planetary motion around the asymmetric dial, the time is displayed on the right side of the timepiece. Underneath features a control board with day/night indicator, small seconds sub-dial and an oil change indicator that alerts the wearer of when a service is due. The momentum is supported by a central carousel that provided stability and equilibrium throughout. Deceptively complex in its exterior, the timepiece is essentially exceedingly simple and legible. The intuitive asymmetric layout allows the wearer to view the time discreetly and elegantly without the need to pull a cuff or sleeve back.

Launched in January of 2013, the UR-110 has a new armour with a platinum bezel that gives the watch a new look. Encased in its Grade 5-titanium with the refined metal works of a satin-finished bezel, the neon green accents on the dial makes the variant an eye-catching one.

Regarded as one of the most sought-after, collectible and innovative young firms of high horology, Richard Mille has become a league of its own through its impressive creations and mechanical excellence.

by the world of sports, inspired and designed in collaboration with professionals and masters of the field, the innovative process of Richard Mille

is like none other.

First released in 2014, the RM055 Bubba Watson was the result of the collaboration between Richard Mille and long-time friend, ambassador and 12-time PGA American champion golfer, Bubba Watson. With a quest to create the best wristwatch to be worn for golf, the aim was to design a wristwatch able to withstand vibration whilst maintaining its precision timekeeping.

Cased in a black ceramic case with a rubber-coated grade 5 titanium caseband and back in the firm’s most iconic tonneau-shaped case, it displays a fully skeletonized dial showcasing the firm’s innovated cal. RMUL2. An extremely well-executed, the movement that weighs an impressively light 4.3 grams is held and secured by four shock absorbers that create a link between the external framework and the movement itself, therefore protecting the movement against all vibrations.

Although at first glance, the movement may seem simple, but it is rather the opposite as it is executed to the highest level. To add stiffness, the movement is composed entirely of grade 5 titanium bridges and baseplates coated with black PVD. With hand polished bevels and grain finishing on all flat components with burnished pivots, screw slots and screw bevels, it is certainly up to haute horology standards resulting in the striking movement architecture and appeal that is displayed in the RM055. With a power reserve of 55 hours achieved by its double barrel mechanism improving the movement’s torque stability by reducing pressure and friction on the gears, the result is a better chronometric performance of the overall power reserve.

The present example Richard Mille RM055 Bubba Watson was made exclusively for the Asian market and was made as a limited edition of 50 pieces. Differing from the original Bubba Watson in white, the present black ceramic case sandwiches a white rubber-coated titanium caseband to provide the best contrast. Light in weight, sleek and innovative in design as well as providing the best comfort any wristwatch can provide on the wrist, the RM055 Bubba Watson is a must have for active collectors who love a bit of action.

Coming from a strong lineage of Finnish artisans, Stepan Sarapaneva inherited the artistic touch from his mother, Pentti Sarpaneva, a renowned artisanal jewellery designer whose work is exhibited at the British Museum. With the gift for meticulous craftsmanship, Stepan worked under master watchmakers such as Vianney Halter, Parmigiani and Christophe Claret before embarking on his own journey to realise his vision of horology by establishing the Sarpaneva brand in 2003.

In 2020, S.U.F Sarpaneva Helsinki commemorated the 75th anniversary of the popular Finnish comic, Moomin, illustrated by none other than Tove Jansson. Three sets of 25-piece limited edition wristwatches were produced, inspired by the originally monochromatic comic. Differentiated into three variants with either blue, steel or gold hands, Sarpaneva applied his ingenuity and technical prowess to the fairy tale by incorporating Super-Luminova on the dial for a vivid psychedelic effect. The timepiece paid more than just a homage to the cartoon but surely a statement to the industry, portraying coloured luminous material as a form of art instead of a tool it to tell time in the dark.

Instantly recognised by collectors worldwide, Sarpaneva launched a second run on the dreamy Moomin tickers in 2021. Featuring a different scene, the same hand-crafted lumed skeletonized dial is interpreted once again in this edition, featuring a case composed of high-end Outokumpu steel usually seen in Sarpaneva’s permanent collection. Unlike its solid caseback older sibling, the second generation positioned its crown at 4 o’clock and with a sapphire caseback which invites the wearer to admire the self-winding rotor carved out of the firm’s signature angry Moonface with luminous-filled eyes and mouth.

Offered in excellent overall condition, complete with their original accessories, the present pair of S.U.F Helsinki Sarpaneva x Moomin are fresh-to-themarket offered by the original owner. Each numbered 7 out of 25 pieces, this set of spirited watches will be fantastic additions to any collection.

Most notable for designing some of the world’s most iconic watches such as the Royal Oak and the Nautilus, Gerald Genta has also created unforgettable timepieces under his own brand.

In the 1980s, Genta won the rights to produce timepieces to celebrate Walt Disney as well as whimsical cartoon characters from the famed Mickey Mouse. Since then, the firm has created timepieces featuring these iconic cartoon characters.

The present example is one of those rare and sought-after examples from the Retro series featuring retrograde minutes and jumping hours indicated via Donald Duck’s articulated hand with a baseball bat. The present example is preserved in excellent overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear.

Revered for his out-of-the-box designs and highly complicated conceptions, the late watchmaking legend started his eponymous line of timepieces in 1969, which was subsequently acquired by Bulgari at the turn of the millennium. The Arena Chrono Quattro Retro is a fascinating timepiece that combines two complications into one movement as shown on the present dial—the jumping hour in the center with retrograde minutes above it.

Watches have had a long tradition of celebrating fictitious characters that grew up alongside collectors. The first name that comes to mind for fun and technically sound watches is perhaps Gerald Genta. The mastermind behind the Royal Oak created a line of watches devoted to bringing Disney characters to life under the Genta name in the 80s, pieces that has been the craze as of late.

After much speculation and misconstrued whispers, Audemars Piguet followed suit in finally unveiling their long-awaited Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon in the first quarter of 2021.

The Marvel Comics are, to today’s collectors, what Mickey Mouse and his friends were to the previous generation – iconic. Neither confirmed nor denied, this is rumoured to be the first in a continuing partnership between the Swiss horological powerhouse and Marvel Universe. No matter if its wearer is a Stan Lee comics fan or not, this Black Panther-centric watch is an extremely wellexecuted horological marvel, designed to make heads turn. Realised from the Vibranium-rich mines of Wakanda, the timepiece is packed with grey, black, and purple accents with a spirited mini-sculpture of the legendary superhero, ready to pounce and jump out of the dial. From the textured patterns on his suit to the polished highlights on his shoulders, the chiselled muscular physique to the fierce claws and glaring eyes; this wild combination of laser sculpted, hand-carved and manually painted details are the defining elements that breathe life into the white gold avatar of Black Panther himself.

While the case is unfortunately not fashioned out of Vibranium, it is however made of the ultralight, durable, resilient titanium. In contrast to the fitted sand-blasted inserts with a silky satin finish, the dial is composed of a semi-skeletonised fractured backdrop, capturing the moment before the action figure plunges out of the dial by creating the perfect illusion of visual dissonance. Exposing the Audemars Piguet flying tourbillon at the front, the sapphire caseback shows off a set of movement plates that tie in collectively to the crumpling scene on the dial that also conceals the in-house cal. 2965. One does not require to love comic books to appreciate this altitude craftsmanship, and on so many levels, this is exactly what the Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon represents. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consigner on this fine specimen will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages. Offered at Phillips for the first time, the present wristwatch is one of a 250-piece limited edition, in “likenew” condition with its original accessories.

Considered as one of the rarest transitional references among the “preMoon” Speedmaster line-up, the ST 145.022-69 was made in extremely small quantities for just over a year, from 1969 to early 1971. As the very last reference to be conceived before the moon landing, watches from this batch are closed with a caseback that makes no reference to the mission despite being commercially sold in December 1969. With aesthetics relatively similar to the ST 145.012, the two models can only be differentiated by certain finite distinguishable features identified by Speedmaster scholars and enthusiasts. While many “-69” watches feature a “dot next to 90” bezel, the present example stands out from its peers, featuring a “dot over 90” bezel that enhances the rarity of this watch. Its original black step dial has also aged gracefully into a chocolate hue, complemented by Tritium-treated lumes, elongated hands and an applied logo at 12 o’clock.

Carrying the desired traits of a transitional Speedmaster ref. ST 145.022-69, the present example is a rare bird that is not only historically important but also features a “tropical” brown dial that has aged beautifully in excellent overall condition.

Omega wristwatches have long been associated with NASA and the American manned moon flights of the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1964, their reference 105.003 “pre-professional” chronograph was released in three sub references the -63, -64 and -65 and it was the last model featuring straight lugs. That year Omega submitted two references 105.003-63 to NASA for rigorously testing and upon satisfactorily meeting all their requirements, NASA chooses the Speedmaster for its Gemini program, which preceded the Apollo program and sought to develop space travel techniques for the Apollo moon landing. In time, the model became known as the “Ed White” for the astronaut Edward Higgins White II, who on June 3, 1965 became the first astronaut to walk in space.

Produced between 1966 and 1969, the present example Speedmaster ref. ST105.003 featuring a -65 sub-model was made originally in 1967 and delivered to the United Kingdom. Preserved in excellent overall condition with an attractive tropicalized dial enhancing its vintage appeal, it is further delivered with an extract from Omega confirming the production of the present timepiece.

A similar example is prominently illustrated in the “Moonwatch Only, 60 Years of OMEGA Speedmaster” by Anthony Marquié and Grégoire Rossier, p380-381

Broadcasting live on December 2nd 1990, the Soyuz TM-11 crew stepped on the Soyuz-U2 space vessel for the 11th expedition to the Russian Space Station MIR. There, three cosmonauts commander Viktor Afanasyec, flight engineer Musa Manarov and Toyohiro Akiyama, a television reporter/ journalist for the Japanese Broadcasting System lifted off along with a set of 10 Omega Speedmaster ref. 145.022, these chronographs aim to be an experiment to observe the effects of zero gravity over a prolonged period on the components of the watch, and most importantly, the movement. According to Omega, the

batch of 10 Speedmaster were sent to Germany in the late 1980s prior to their deliver to ESA which lead to the space voyage. Flown in space for 90 days until March 1991, these remarkable timepieces returned to Earth and were fitted with a personalized casebacks and presented to important personnel’s, most being political figures at the time. While these 10 Omega Speedmasters were the first batch for the MIR aerospace project, in 1993, 35 Speedmasters took flight as the second batch of timepieces to be taken to the space station for 365 days with the purpose of observing microgravity on the movements. With a total of 28 stainless steel and 7 pieces in yellow gold which also had numbered and engraved caseback, one of which Phillips had the pleasure of auctioning in the Phillips & Blackbird: Sports Auction in 2019 achieving a staggering result of $1,375,000 HKD.

A true trophy for all Speedy collectors, these MIR Speedmasters are almost mythical and are rarely seen in the market. Possibly the second example to surface in the market, the present Omega Speedmaster ref. ST145.0022 MIR-90 Days not only chartered to space where only a few men have been, it is also preserved in its impeccable “new-old-stock” condition. Featuring twisted lugs that are razor sharp, pristine dot close to 70 tachymetre bezel, flawless dial, and a medallion caseback freshly engraved and painted like the day it left the manufacture (90 DAYS FLIGHT QUALIFIED – SPACELAB MIR DEC.90-MAR. 91 and The FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON), even the red sealing wax remains intact on the caseback. What more can one ask for? While the limited series are featured in the Moonwatch Only book with an example that is numbered 05/10, the present MIR90 Days is numbered 09/10. Bearing a GRSA Helm stamp on the inner caseback, these cases were manufactured by Georges Ruedin SA since the 1990s.Kept in private hands for over a decade, this is an unmissable chance for watch lovers and space enthusiasts to own mementos which chronicle one of the most important space missions in the history of humanity. Presented with its impressive Omega presentation box still retaining its Russian medallion, according to Omega this is the first time the museum has issues an Omega Extract from the Archives for a MIR-90 Days confirming its production in 1990 and its delivery to Germany. A collector’s dream, an icon of the space race, the present “Flown” MIR along with only a handful of Russian Cosmonaut’s timepieces are the only Speedmasters ever available in the market.

Phillips would like to thank the Omega Museum for the precious support and archival information for this timepiece.

Cartier introduced their ‘Collection Privee, Cartier Paris,’ between 1998-2008, in recognition of the demand for vintage style models. The Tank Chronographe Monopoussoir is a wonderful modern re-edition of the original 1935 example. Though larger in size, it is remarkably truthful in regards to its dial design and case proportions. The dial on this pink gold Cartier Tank Monopoussoir is particularly faithful to the original version of the watch, staying true to the configuration of a circular dial housed within a square case. The tank case that houses this dial is much rarer than any of the Tortue cases, which possess a similar dial. Architecturally, the construction of the case is particularly impressive, displaying the French jeweller’s skill in assembling impressive designs. Thanks to the short lugs on the piece, it wears extremely comfortably on the wrist. Powering the timepiece is the caliber 045MC, a movement that was well-known as it was co-developed by Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet, and Francois-Paul Journe through their firm at the time, Techniques Horlogères Appliquées (THA).

Within the watch, the cal. 045MC makes use of a lever escapement. With a clutch system, the motion of the second wheel to the chronograph’s central wheel is activated by a double swivel pin, removing the "jolt" of the second hand which often occurs in chronographs operated by a lateral clutch. The resulting operation allows the hand to smoothly glide across the dial. Confirmed by the engraving on the caseback of the watch, only 100 pieces of the Tank Monopoussoir were encased in pink gold. Furthermore, the watch is in excellent overall condition with its original accessories.

Introduced in 1917, the Cartier Tank is not only one of the first serially manufactured wristwatches, but is also a key model that has influenced the Maison’s heritage in the world of horology, to this day.

As the turn of the 21st century approached, the demand for daintier watches grew smaller which made way for bigger proportions with a larger wrist presence. Varying in metals such as gold and stainless steel, the Tank Americaine ref. 17361 was launched in the early 2000s, featuring an oversizedfor-Cartier case that measures to 45mm in length and 22mm wide. Highly sought-after by both gents and ladies, the present model’s case dimension can only be considered as the perfect elegant standard, designed to elevate one’s outfit for any occasion. Featuring a crisp white rectangular dial with black Roman numerals, this timeless timepiece is encased in white gold, topped with a signature cabochon blue sapphire crown. Offered in excellent condition, the current ref. 17361 is a sophisticated specimen, presented in the Cartier Tank Americaine’s largest size.

The first Cartier Tonneau wristwatch was initially introduced in 1906. As part of its pre-SIHH 2019 reveal, the Parisian Maison added the Tonneau XL Skeleton Dual Time to their Prive Collection, taking its cue from the dual time model from the late 90s. In favour of using individual movements for each time zone like its predecessor, the present skeletonised watch is powered by a single Swiss-made, hand-wound cal. 9919 MC. Not only is this movement skeletonized to the point where it is barely there, but it is also perfectly shaped to match the contours of the Tonneau case. Combining old-school and contemporary ideas, this watch is the embodiment of form and function that pushes the boundaries Cartier’s mechanical prowess and distinctive stylistic touches.

Numbered 88 of a 100-piece limited edition, the present Tonneau XL Skeleton Dual Time is the ideal traveller’s watch, crafted in platinum with divine proportions and is technically sound. Accompanied by its certificates, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a Cartier wristwatch from the Prive collection, representing beautiful timepieces that push themselves technically and break out of their usual aesthetic.

Piaget Altiplano Origin China Special Edition

“Always do better than necessary” a motto of the Piaget family since the beginning of its time, the search of ultra-thinness from Georges-Edouard Piaget and the generations that followed has been cemented in their heritage amongst the village of Côte-aux-Fées since 1874. Advertised in catalogs with headlines “Spécialistes des mounters les plus plates du mode”, Piaget brought its first caliber 9P to the market for the first time in 1957, presented as Altiplano at the Basel watch fair, it quickly claimed its name for being one off the thinnest hand-wound movement during the time. Measuring only 2mm thick, it refined the profile of luxury watches with ultra-thin comfort.

With the calibre 12P released followed three years later, the creation instantly captured a record for being the thinnest selfwinding movement ever made. Conceived to offer a backdrop of purity and absolute refinement, the Altiplano ultra-thin watch takes its name from the eponymous plateau nestled in the heart of the Cordillera Andes. Spanning four South American countries, the Altiplano is an immense plain with an average altitude of 3,650m. As flat as the endless horizon that adorns it. As pure as the aesthetics of the collection that turns extreme refinement into absolute elegance and purity.

Celebrating the Altiplano collection, Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo together with Piaget is proud to present a refreshing limited edition collaboration, the Altiplano Origin China Special Edition prototype.

Inspired by the origin of Altiplano meaning Plateau in Spanish, we draw muses from the nature’s palette amongst the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Known as the “Roof of the World”—the world’s highest plateau—a stunning scenery blessed with towering mountains, greens from the grass fields and the radiant rays of each dawn and golden tints of sunset. Capturing the spirit of the serenity of nature, the timepiece features a rich green three-layered lacquered dial with a minimalistic appeal. A set of pink gold hands and hour-makers reminiscent of the golden-brown drawn from nature, while the white gold case evokes the serenity of year-round snow-covered mountain ridges. Paying homage to the starry night sky of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the exquisite star in the seconds register as the brightest North Star guiding ways forward.

Powering the timepiece is the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 1205P with a power reserve of 44 hours that can be admired through the sapphire caseback. One of the world’s thinnest self-winding winding movements with date, it measures just 3 mm. All Piaget’s ultra-thin watchmaking expertise is brought into play, the movement’s components are slimmed down and the spaces between them reduced to the minimum. The components have been shaped to make the movement as thin as possible, some wheels being as little as 0.12 mm in thickness. The oscillating weight, in 22-carat rose gold, has been miniaturized and mounted off-centre so as to be fully integrated in the thickness of the movement. This distinctive mode of construction required extremely complex calculations to determine the weight distribution that would ensure optimum winding. The bridges are bevelled and decorated with the circular Côtes de Genève, the mainplate is circular-grained and the screws blued. The 1205P movement also features sunburst wheels and a special regulator bearing the Piaget “P” signature.

Highly attractive with a refreshing palette, the timepiece is also paired with a green crocodile strap that is no doubt a perfect match. With a tremendous success of the limited edition collection, Phillips is honoured to present this numbered 00 prototype to the collector of discerning taste.

George Daniels is the undisputed horological lighthouse of 20th century. Not only is he recognised as a technical master, he was undoubtedly the first of what is today a prominent category in the market: independent watchmakers. Daniels’ legacy is beyond remarkable, and arguably his masterpiece - from a technical standpoint - is the co-axial escapement. A truly innovative device, it was invented by Daniels in 1974 and patented in 1980. The first truly new escapement since the invention of the lever escapement in the 18th century by Thomas Mudge, it dramatically reduces - nearly cancels - friction for improved performance and durability.

Daniels sold the patent to Omega in 1993 and was personally involved in the 6 year design and perfecting process which yielded in 1999 the first three watches featuring the new escapement: two gold versions in yellow and rose gold (each limited to 999 pieces) and an ultra-limited 99 pieces series in platinum. The present example Omega De Ville Co-Axial limited edition belongs to the yellow gold variant from circa 1999. Offered with its full set of accessories, the present example numbered 797 is offered with no reserve and a great chance for collectors to acquire an important limited edition Omega.

Introduced in 1963, the Carrera designed by Jack Heuer was brought to the market with the vision to create a chronograph with outstanding legibility and clean aesthetics. Like the Porsche Carrera, the Heuer Carrera ushered in a new era for Heuer and became one of the brand’s most famous designs. In the 1980s, Heuer was bought by Technique Avant Garde (TAG) and paved the way for re-editions of the Carrera in 1990s. Well-received by Heuer collectors, the present example in yellow gold Ref. CS 3140 inspired by the Carrera of 1964 remains faithful to its origin. Sized at 36mm, the re-edition features the Heuer only logo which is loved by the community. The three registered chronograph features matching gold hour markers and hands, and paired with blue accents on the outer track. The tritium is further indicated with a T above SWISS just the vintage predecessors.

Powering the ref. CS3140 is the Lemania 1873, the base movement of Omega Speedmaster cal.861. True to its roots beating at 21,600vph with a 40 hours power reserve, the present example is further accompanied with a guarantee and accessories.

With the very first collaboration between the two in 1995, the watch featured was an Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz Professional on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye. Taking on the throne by Daniel Craig, Omega retained their partnership with the franchise with the launch of the Seamaster 300M Co-Axial as well as a Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in Casino Royale Featured again in Skyfall, the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M was joined by the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M. In 2015, the milestone piece came, when Omega decided to create a watch specially Mr. Bond in Spectre, the Seamaster 300 Master Chronometer Spectre Edition. In 2021, Omega released the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, alongside Daniel Craig’s final Bond appearance in No Time to Die. Featuring a grade 2 titanium case with a brown bezel insert, the matte brown military style dial with fauxtina luminous material gives the watch

a vintage appeal. For the first time, the 007 designation has been kept subtle and no longer featured on the dial and only engraved on the caseback. Paired exquisitely with a mesh bracelet with a practical folding deployant clasp, it is also accompanied by an additional NATO strap. Powering the timepiece is the firm’s Co-Axial cal. 8806 in-house movement. Offered in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of use and wear and complete with its full set of accessories, the present example from circa 2021 is a chance for lovers of the

Grand Seiko, now detached from the Seiko umbrella, has amassed a cult following since 2016 for incorporating innovative movements into classic designs and state-of-the-art craftsmanship, on par with Japanese traditional artistry. Encased in pink gold with wide bevelled lugs, the ref. SBGD202 is highly regarded among collectors. Featuring an alluring glossy black dial, the subtle touch of gold flecks flirts with the light as it hits the surface. This mesmerising effect is the result of a special in-house process that combines both painting and plating of the dial, sets the scene of a stary night that draws you in. Powered by the Grand Seiko Spring Drive cal. 9R01, equipped with an 8-day power reserve, its beating heart is a mechanical hybrid with a standard gear train. This horological design uses a “regulator”, instead of an escapement and a balance wheel, which contains a strong magnet that rotates between two electromagnets, generating current to power a quartz timing package which, in turn, uses the same electromagnets to control how fast the regulator turns. The Spring Drive movement is Seiko’s synergistic

solution to merging the beauty and complexity of a mechanical movement with the accuracy of quartz. Beautifully finished, the main plate is fashioned to resemble the outline of Mount Fuji with rubies and blue screws to evoke the flickering lights of Suwa, a town near the Grand Seiko Watch Japan Micro Artist Studio, where the watch was conceived. Offered in excellent overall condition, the present pink gold SBGD202 is a feast for the eyes, revealing the mechanical prowess and potential of the understated Japanese manufacturer.

With the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ever growing in demand from collectors around the globe, the quest for handsome iterations of the model is on an all-time high. While the firm celebrates their 50th anniversary of the famed model, it is important to look back at the evolution of the Royal Oak, such as the milestone chronograph models that was first introduced in 1997. While the octagonal-shaped case has housed many complications over the decades, the chronograph is certainly one of the most desirable yet undervalued examples from the family.

Introduced in the early 2000s, the ref. 26022BC.OO.D002CR.01 featuring a 39mm diameter case in white gold is further complimented by the firm’s signature grande tappiserie dial in white, matching perfectly with the tone of the white gold case. Powered by the firm’s cal. 2385 column wheel chronograph movement, it consists to a total of 304 components.

Well-preserved and certainly attractive due to its friendly proportions the present example Royal Oak Chronograph in white gold from 2007 with a matching white dial will surely garner interest from the community of Audemars Piguet collectors.

The 1950’s was an interesting period for Rolex and perhaps the most crucial time as the first Submariner was introduced in 1953. Regarded as the best professional diver’s wristwatch in the market, the first Submariner had waterproof capabilities of up to 100 meters. Whilst many may argue that the ref. 6200 was the first Submariner introduced, which would be chronologically correct, however the serial numbers proved otherwise that the ref. 6204 was the first to be sold publicly. Featuring a bi-directional rotating bezel with a black insert, it allowed divers to keep track of their elapsed time underwater and also a way to determine how much oxygen they had left in the tank. Furthermore, radium luminous plots played a pivotal role for the watch as it enabled diver’s to tell time under the dark waters.

Early examples of the reference were encased with cases bearing 900 thousand serial range and were released in 1953. Furthermore, a “small crown” was fitted with a Rolex crown and a Brevet cross below. Powered by selfwinding cal. A260, it was inspired by the “Bubblebacks” era as they shared the same calibers with a slightly bulged caseback. Secured under an acrylic crystal “Tropic 16”, lies a beautiful gilt dial with radium luminous plots and hands without depth rating. Regarded as a major breakthrough in the 1950’s, the Rolex Submariner continued to become the most iconic wristwatch in the world.

The present example of a Rolex ref. 6204 is presented in excellent overall condition and boasts many attractive elements that a collector seeks. It is often hard to find original examples of the reference as many were sent back for servicing during the 1960’s, where Rolex would replace the hands as well as any other part of the watch that needed replacement. The present example bears a period correct black bezel insert, with a well-preserved first generation riveted bracelet with excellent elasticity and a clasp stamped “4.53” indicating its production to be in the fourth quarter of 1953. The dial for the present example screams originality with high radium readings with a Geiger counter indicating that the dial has never been touched before. Extremely attractive, this present example will certainly impress discerned collectors of vintage timepieces and a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire an early example of the first Submariner reference.

There is a certain charm that comes with a simple time-only Rolex Oyster. Oozing with character and confidence, the present ref. 6282 is a wellpreserved example with a from circa 1953. Rocking a rare, silvered dial with “Shock Resisting” text at 6 o’clock, the face is topped with gold-tone hour markers and a Rolex coronet below 12 o’clock. The dial is further outlined by a black minute track and a sunken boarder which brings depth and dimension to the initially flat surface. Fitted in an elegant 34mm case, the ref. 6282 at hand has aged gracefully in an attractive overall condition and is a fantastic specimen with a 970 thousand serial.

Fresh-on-the-market, the present example ticks all the boxes of a collectable piece, in terms of rarity, condition and value.

First released in 1955, the Rolex Oyster Chronograph ref. 6234 is among one of the rarest and sought-after pre-Daytona references. The reference was succeeded by the ref. 6238, which became the last pre-Daytona model before the release of the ref. 6239.

The present example Rolex Oyster Chronograph ref. 6234 featuring a silver dial from circa 1959 is a handsome example of the rare model. Boasting an attractive overall and honest condition, it features a strong case with balanced lugs and crisp numbers in between the lugs that are original and engraved directly onto the satin-finished surface.

Built to conquer the depths of the ocean, the Rolex Sea-Dweller was first launched in 1967. At the time of its production, it was among the most reliable and robust diver’s wristwatch in the market with a depth rating of 610 meters.

The watch featured a triple lock crown to ensure its water resistant ability. The very first examples, or “prototypes” displayed a single red Sea-Dweller script. It was only later, starting with the “ Mk I Patent Pending Sea-Dweller Double Red” that the dial displayed “Sea Dweller Submariner 2000” in two red lines, earning its moniker “Double Red Sea-Dweller”. While the very first examples did not have a helium escape valve, Rolex eventually fitted their Sea-Dwellers with this mechanism, which allowed the trapped helium to easily escape. When the ref. 1665 was first released, Rolex had not patented the technology yet. Thus, the earliest Sea- Dwellers were engraved “Patent Pending Rolex Oyster Gas Escape Valve” on the caseback.

The present example Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 with a MK IV dial from circa 1976 with a 4.1 million serial is identifiable via its “closed 6” of the depth rating and its spiked coronet. Offered in attractive overall condition, this present example is one to impress vintage Rolex connoisseurs.

Debuted in 1967, the reference 1680 was the first Submariner to be fitted with a date function. Early dial variations of the reference displays a ‘meters first’ depth rating and the single line of red ‘Submariner’ script, hence the name “Red Sub”. Highly sought-after, these rare diver’s watch with a dash of red marks an important milestone for this utilitarian tool watch and are beloved details by vintage Rolex collectors.

Characterized by the open 6s in the feet first depth rating with a thick application of red print over white graphics, the present example belongs to the MK IV dial amongst the “Red Sub” series. Boasting a well-preserved dial, the present example features lume plots that have aged to an attractive buttery yellow hue enhancing its vintage appeal. Bearing a 2.6 million from circa 1971, the present handsome example features a desirable greyish Ghost bezel insert, further elevating its charm.

PRESENT

IS A PREMIUM

Making its important debut in 1963, the ref. 6239 was the very first reference to feature “Daytona” on the dial and was also the very first chronograph by the firm to have an engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial. Produced mainly in stainless steel, the reference was also made in 14K and 18K yellow gold. Originally named as the "Le Mans", it was eventually named the "Daytona” after the 24 Hours of Daytona automobile race - a choice possibly also motivated by marketing reason, the USA being at the time a fast-growing market for the company.

While it was released with either a silver or a black dial, dial supplier Singer made a small batch of what was referred to as “exotic dials” and later known more commonly as “Paul Newman” dials. These rare and exotic dials featured an art-deco inspired graphic and typography compared to regular examples. It is believed that only between 1,000 – 1,500 examples of pump pusher references including 6239, 6241 and 6262 were produced with “Paul Newman” dials.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6239 “Paul Newman” from circa 1967 with a 1.69 million serial is an extremely rare sight to behold. While the exotic “Paul Newman” dials began its production during the 1.6 million serial, it is worth noting that the early examples also carries register hands the are fully painted in white, later examples will not have this trait. With a total of three marks of engraved bezel, the present bezel is a period correct MK II bezel indicated by the intervals of 225, 250, and 300. Not only is it a clean example boasting a clean off-white dial, it has also developed a tropical brown patina on all three registers due to natural aging, which brings the rarity of the present timepiece to a whole new level. With attractive luminous material and a nice case with crisp lugs, the numbers in between are also original and untouched.

Among chronograph wristwatches, the Speedmaster truly stands out and is universally acknowledged as the most historically important model in Omega’s catalogue. Its history spans over six decades with the very first Speedmaster launched in 1957, having slowly and gracefully evolved with different dial, hand, bezel, and bracelet variants. Today’s modern Speedmaster line still strongly adheres to the design DNA of the original. The firstgeneration model, reference CK 2915, is considered by collectors as “the grail” for a number of reasons.

Only in production between 1957 and 1959, the ref. 2915 was produced in three different series: -1, -2, and -3. CK2915-1 and -2 are arguably the most collectible Speedmaster models. They have unique differences from all younger generations of Speedmasters, most notably in their dial graphics and important elements of case design. The large, “Broad Arrow” minute and hour hands are one such trait, but also the metal bezel - rather than a bezel with black insert - and slightly different dial graphics, distinguishable by the oval “O” of Omega. This oval would later become perfectly round. Likewise, the case has details which would later be abandoned, such as the “Speedmaster” designation engraved on the bevelled, outer edge of the case back rather than on the center, and the hippocampus engraving would be added later.

The present lot, a reference 2915-2, belongs to the second iteration of the first generation of Speedmasters, made in 1958 and is fitted with its original parts exhibiting the correct early features collectors adore.

The Omega signature features the iconic “fat” O followed by the slightly extended “r” in the Speedmaster signature, and the caseback bears the “Speedmaster” engraving on the edge of the caseback.

Founded in 1884 by Alfred Lugrin, Lemania is a reputable and well-respected manufacturer of chronographs. Lemania produced movements for several watchmaking companies like Omega and caliber improvements solidified Lemania’s reputation and its chronograph movements were subsequently used by Patek Philippe, Breitling, Audemars Piguet, Girard-Perregaux and many others.

The present example Lemania chronograph in yellow gold from the 1950s is powered by one of the firm’s most iconic and important caliber CH 27. Being one of the most robust and accurate chronograph movements in the era, it inspired the birth of greats such as the Omega cal. 321. A gorgeous chronograph also recognized by a watch passionate in the early days, the man who technically invented the V-hand sign during one of his political campaign V for Victory, and that is former Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Sir Winston Churchill. While an 18K yellow gold Lemania chronograph too powered by the same caliber fitted with a gilt dial and engraved caseback have graced the market, it was famously known to collectors that the watch was a gift from the Canton De Baud to Sir Winston Churchill during the Summer of 1946. A well-preserved example from the same era, the present yellow gold Lemania is offered in and amazing pristine condition. Boasting an attractive case with sharp edges and bevels with no signs of polishing from the past, this gem from the 50s also features an attractive two-tone dial with applied Arabic numerals to complete the picturesque example.

Movado, which in the constructed language Esperanto means “always in motion”, was founded by 19 year old Achille Ditisheim, a talented watchmaker who opened his workshops in La Chaux de Fonds in 1881 along with six watchmakers. The philosophy “always in motion” remained within the brand, which was constantly innovating in terms of styles and designs. From breakthrough designs like the Polyplan with an elongated curve case that earned Moved its 20th patent in 1912, to the wide array of Art Deco Ermeto clocks, and the iconic modernist Museum Dial designed by Nathan George Horwitt part of the Museum of modern Art permanent collection. Movado is exceptional in thinking outside the box and creating extraordinary designs that are perfect for those who seek for the less common. The present Movado from the 1960s is just one of those. Rectangular in shape with an unusual dual dial design operated by two individual manual movements and two crowns, some collectors might know this design as the “Gemini” dual time. Adorned with a diamond-set bezel that surrounds the pitch black dial, the legibility for this elegant timepiece is perfect for the discerned traveller. Shimmering in an attractive white gold hand-chiseled bark finished integrated bracelet, this tasteful and rarley seen Movado further retains its uncut bracelet that elevates its luxurious appeal.

Having made its important debut over 45 years ago, the Patek Philippe Nautilus has become one of the most iconic timepieces of the century. First released in 1976, the ref. 3700 was the creation of a genius in the field, Gerald Genta, who also designed the biggest rival of them all, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak four years prior. It was whilst dining meters away from the Patek Philippe executives was inspired by the porthole of a ship constructed via a solid mono-block case with octagonal bezel. Housed in the heart of the watch is the calibre 28-255C taking blueprints from the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 920 from 1967.

The development was financed by Audemars Piguet which revered to cal.2120 for the Royal Oak, Vacheron Constantin with cal. 1120 and Patek Philippe for the cal. 28-255C for the Nautilus. Lean and refined in its profile at only 3.15mm, it is regarded as one of the most legendary movements ever produced.

Produced from 1976 to 1990, the ref. 3700 can be divided into two main series, with early example from 1976 – 1982 bearing the ref. 3700/1 stamp and examples produced from 1982 – 1990 onwards stamped with ref. 3700/11. Other notable features to differentiate the two is the integrated bracelet with examples from the first series measuring a wider 16mm and later examples measuring 14mm. Hand-made with ridged grooves manufactured by Stern Fréres, the very first examples highlighted dials with small painted hash outer minute tracks and gradually transitioned into dotted outer minute track, as well as the attached accent of the second “E” of “Genéve”, and “σ SWISS σ” applied on the bottom of the dial.

The present example belongs to an example from the first series from the second year of its production in 1978 confirmed by an Extract from the Archives. Retailed by Argentinian retailer Ricciardi identifiable via the retailer’s serial number engraved beneath the case lugs, this present example belongs to a rare example and is further fresh-to-the-market being the fourth ever example known retailed by Ricciardi. While PHILLIPS in Association with Bacs & Russo had the privilege to auction the first example known in Geneva 2016, to further solidify its originality both examples were sold to Ricciardi on the same day on the 14th of September 1979. Boasting an attractive and well-preserved case with a flawless dial that has begun its desirable brown tropicalization process, it is further accompanied by its rare original cork fitted presentation box with the retailer’s sticker intact inside the box. The grandfather of all Nautilus models, the present early example is no less than a collectible specimen of the one who started them all and the second known example retailed by Ricciardi.

Launched in 1996, the Patek Philippe ref. 5004 is the firm’s first serially produced perpetual calendar with a split seconds complication. This reference, touching the hearts of collectors and connoisseurs, perfectly encapsulates the centuries-old horological prowess of the esteemed manufacturer and their timeless distinct design codes. The timepiece also marked another momentous moment for the firm as it featured the last Lemania-based caliber, cal. CH 27-70 Q.

The making of a split seconds perpetual calendar is no easy feat. Not only painstakingly complex and time-consuming to realise, the grand complication also requires the most skilled artisans to execute. Combining its intricacy and costly process, only a dozen examples left the workbench per annum and after a sweet but short 16-year production run, it was subsequently replaced in 2012 by the ref. 5204, fitted with an in-house movement. A rare bird indeed, the ref. 5004 was an application piece which was arguably one of the most unattainable models that was near impossible to secure from boutiques.

The present example is an exquisite platinum ref. 5004 from 2006. Featuring a delicious semi-glossy dial in black with diamond-set hour markers, the watch is further accompanied by an additional silvered dial in the same configuration and brilliant indexes, rarely seen on this model. In 2020, the very same ref. 5004P was previously auctioned at Phillips in Geneva, fetching a total of CHF 289,800.

Given its rarity and beautiful condition offered with its Certificate of Origin and Extract from the Archives, the present Patek Philippe ref. 5004P is, no doubt, a collector’s dream.

The Patek Philippe reference 5070 was the first chronograph-only wristwatch released by the firm since the 1960s when production of the iconic water resistant reference 1463 ceased. Introduced in 1998 at Basel, it was something of a shock to collectors that Patek would choose to reintroduce their chronograph-only line in such bold fashion – particularly the oversized 42mm case diameter and the dramatically thick, stepped bezel. First released in 18K yellow gold with a black dial, such as the present example, the manufacture drew inspiration for the design of the 5070 from a unique, split-seconds chronograph wristwatch from the early 1950s: the extraordinary reference 2512, which measured at an incredible 46.2mm in diameter with influences from the Art Deco period and large aviator’s watches. The reference 2512 is currently housed in the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva.

Released in a total of four metals it is estimated that 1,000 examples each were produced in yellow, pink and white gold with an estimated 500 examples produced in platinum. An important reference in the history of Patek Philippe chronographs, the ref. 5070 was the last reference to utilize the calibre 27-70 CHR based on the Lemania 2310 stamped with a Geneva seal. The reference was discontinued in 2009 making way for the ref. 5170, the first chronographonly reference featuring the firm’s very first in-house movement.

Handsomely dressed in yellow gold and matched harmoniously with a black dial with matching gold graphics and applied Arabic numerals, many collectors agree that the yellow gold example of the reference is perhaps the most desirable in terms of its colour coordination and its homage paid to the legendary piece unique ref. 2512. One the firm’s most undervalued references, the present example in yellow gold from circa 2000 is offered with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition. A fantastic chance for collectors to acquire an important Patek Philippe chronograph reference and the last to be stamped with a Geneva seal.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus model needs no introduction. In 2006, Patek Philippe celebrated their 30th Anniversary of the coveted model with the launched a series of new references 5711, 5712 and 5980.

The ref. 5712G-001 was one of the most complicated Nautilus models offered at the time designed to be a feature-packed wristwatch with sophistication. Encased in white gold, the timepiece displays a smoky grey dial instead of the blue dial featured in the stainless steel model. Adding depth and legibility is a small detail highlighted in red such as the four dotted power reserve and the first day of the calendar. Offered in a crocodile strap pairing, the ref. 5712G-001 gives collectors a luxurious alternative to the sport model, giving it an elegant twist for the discerning ladies and gentlemen.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5712G-001 from circa 2016 is offered in excellent overall condition and is complete with its certificate and presentation box. For collector’s who prefer a heftier presence, this is surely the example perfect for the boardroom and on the weekends.

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

with Certificate

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

Introduced in a total of four different case materials including yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the white gold variant was first introduced in 2001 and was discontinued in 2006 with approximately 1,000 examples produced in the respective metal.

A stunning example still single sealed in its original packaging, the present fresh-to-the-market Patek Philippe ref. 5070G-001 sold in 2008 is preserved in its untouched state, and was part of the last ones to be manufactured near the end of its production. For collectors who seek to be the first one to wear a brand new Lemania based 5070G-001, here is your chance.

The DNA of the ref. 1518 can be seen in an impressive lineage of Patek

perpetual calendar chronographs. Regarded as one of the most important watches of the 20th century, this reference became the foundation for the firm’s timeless aesthetics and mechanical prowess, which ultimately set the course for their dominance in the world of haute horology. Adhering to its design language, from the position of its moon phases and subsidiary dials, the references 2499 (1951-1987), 3970 (1987-2004), 5970 (2004-2011) and 5270 are notably some of the most well-received and sought-after complicated wristwatches among connoisseurs today.

Introduced in 2007, the ref. 5971 is the most glamorous iteration within the 5970 family. As the last of its kind to house a Lemania-based movement, the reference was replaced in 2011 by the new perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch we now see today, powered by a fully in-house cal. 29-535. Boasting staggering proportions with an audacious wrist presence, it is no surprise this dazzling ref. 5971P is now a cult favourite that has not only enjoyed instant recognition but has also become increasingly more popular and collectable over time. Revered for their incorrupt standards for quality and attention to detail, the bezel is not the only feature adorned with handpicked collection-grade diamonds. Enhanced with diamond-set hour markers, the ebony black dial is surrounded by a baguette-shaped diamond halo, complete with a gem-set buckle which totals 42 diamonds of approximately 4.37 carats.

Unworn and untouched, the present example is offered in “new-old-stock” condition and accompanied by its original accessories. This opportunity to acquire a single-sealed fresh-to-the-market ref. 5971P-001 is almost as rare as the watch itself.

Born in 1975 right in the center of Swiss watchmaking hub,

de Joux, Romain Gauthier’s route to watchmaking was not as destined as many would think. Developing an early passion for music and sound equipment, Gauthier entered a technical college with the hopes of creating some of the world’s leading sound equipment. Mastering and specializing in precision mechanics during his education, Gauthier lands his first job as a machine programmer-operator at a horological component manufacturing company in 1998. Reflecting to his deep roots being from Vallée de Joux, Romain Gauthier finally embarked his journey to create his own watch and his own brand in 2005 after being inspired by horological great, Mr. Philippe Dufour. After the establishment of his company, Gauthier presented his first movement, cal. 2206HMS, which would be incorporated into the brand’s very first wristwatch, Prestige HM from the Heritage collection, featuring

“back-winding” crown. In 2010, the firm released the Prestige HMS, an upgraded version of the very first timepiece featuring an additional small seconds complication, a semi-skeletonised dial with a contemporary appeal. The present example Romain Gauthier in pink gold features a wonderfully executed dial layout consisting of circles and arcs to generate the perfect symphony and aesthetical pleasure. Impressive and finished to high standards of Swiss watchmaking, the present example is a piece unique example made especially for Hong Kong-based retailer, Independence.

Ludovic Ballouard is known for his exceptionally well-made timepieces featuring quirky time displays. After having worked for François-Paul Journe, he decided to set up his own workshops and pursue his own vision. The result was the Upside Down, presented in 2009. This incredibly avant-garde time display is ingenious and a delight to watch. The traditional dial consists of 12 rotating discs, which are all upside down except for the correct hour, which is also denoted by a small dot that only becomes visible when right side up. At the top of the hour, the old hour passes and returns to the upside down position, while the new hour is rotated 180 degrees. The technical marvel of this movement is seen when one turns the watch over and through the sapphire back, one can admire the complexity of this unique timepiece. The movement plate carries twelve finely finished discs attached by tiny pinions, and it is as fascinating to watch the time change on the dial as it is from the movement side. For Ballouard, this watch is not only a mechanical masterpiece, but also a representation of how one should live in the moment,

and that the past and future are presented upside down to remind you that you should have no regrets about the past, or qualms for the future, which you know nothing about. The present Upside Down, from 2013, was made specially for Independence, a Hong Kong based boutique specialized in independent artisans. It is one of only two platinum Ludovic Ballouard watches featuring a heat blued titanium dial with applied Breguet numerals. The present example is the only one made with “Independence” engraved on the case back. Small yet important details on the platinum case show Ludovic Ballouard’s dedication to perfection and craftsmanship, such as the hand engraved inscriptions on the case back and initials on the platinum crown and side of buckle.

Designed by the visionary Dutch dual, the wristwatch was inspired by a childhood memory they both share; a remontoire church clock they grew up admiring, dating back to 1240. As the custodians of this timepiece were none other than their father and grandfather, Johan Grönefeld the talented watchmaker, this significant childhood memory resulted in the esoteric yet elegant 1941 Remontoire. The crux of the present example is its movement. Exposed on the dial at 9 o’clock, the wearer is invited to marvel at this eightsecond remontoire without taking it off. Every 8 seconds, this prominent feature quickly spins and stops, delivering a consistent amount of energy to the escapement via a secondary wheel. Comprised of 258 separate components, the caliber is hand-finished to the highest degree with over a dozen different techniques used, from frosting to snailing. Formed into the shapes of the bell gable roofs atop Dutch houses, the bridges are fashioned

from steel which is more difficult to work with than brass or silver. Without a doubt, the present dial is produced by one of the greatest masters of intricate finishes and charismatic dials, Kari Voultilainen.Fashioned in a special stainless steel alloy, the chosen material is polished and treated to appear more brilliant than the basic 316L steel. To achieve its sculpted silhouette, a customised cutter was used to create its iconic concaved floating recesses and convexed

Offered in excellent overall condition with a signed letter from the Grönefeld Brothers, this is a fantastic, if not perfect, opportunity to acquire the exquisite 1941 Remontoire from the highly coveted independent brand.

The present One Hertz Techniek No. 3 perfectly encapsulates the essence of Grönefeld, featuring a beautiful matte galvanised silver dial with a contemporary, playful display of time and a single push-down crown. Launched 2010, this timepiece was numbered 3 of a 30-piece limited line of the world’s first serially produced watch made with an independent deadbeat seconds. Taking centre stage on an elevated bridge, this complication is clearly the most prominent feature of this watch as it occupies most of the dial while the time relegates to a less significant role as indicated in the small sub-register at 2 o’clock. Though this feature is not uncommon in horology, the watch community was fascinated by Grönefeld’s innovative approach to powering its deadbeat seconds with a unique secondary gear train, which separates the seconds’ independent mainspring barrel from the hours and minutes’.

Made entirely in-house, the sapphire caseback exposes a movement that is manually finished to the highest degree with stainless steel bridges throughout and the use of a free-sprung variable inertia balance with Phillips overcoil. Consigned by the original owner and preserved in an excellent overall condition, the present Grönefeld titanium wristwatch is a rare and exciting piece, full of potential.

Introduced in 2001 as the third calibre after the Toubillon Souverain and the Chronomètre à Résonance, the Octa collection is the first self-winding movement by the brand. Debuting within the new model Octa Réserve de Marche first with a brass movement until 2004, and transitioned into the solid pink gold movements used in more recent years. Two years after its debut in 2003, the Octa Lune was introduced and remain in production until 2015 and was awarded the GPHG Montre Homme award. Cased in pink gold or platinum, the reference features three variants of dials: pink gold, yellow gold and white gold such as the present example. Aesthetically much like its elder sibling the Octa Réserve de Marche, the Octa Lune features a celestial touch by an addition of a moon phases at 7 o’clock beneath the 120 hours power reserve indication.

Part of the transitional batch, the present platinum example fitted with a white gold dial is powered by the self-winding bi-directional rotor calibre 1300-2 in pink gold. Integrated with a. straight-line lever escapement and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, the movement is further finish with the brand’s finesse of Côtes de Genève decorations. The present Octa Lune in excellent condition epitomizes Journe’s philosophy of technical expertise, design acumen and legibility and is a wonderful opportunity to own an interesting and fine timepiece from one of horology’s greatest artisans.

After the successful inception of the Royal Oak in stainless steel, the firm released their first ever gold variant via the ref. 5402BA in 1977, offering an even more luxurious version to cater towards the vibrant era of the 70’s. The reference was produced for only a few short years ending in 1980.The present example Royal Oak ref. 5402 features a warm and inviting yellow gold case, contrasted with a cool toned petit Tapisserie “Logo Down” dial in grey. A rare treat, the “AP” logo is placed above the 6 o’clock index, a feature only seen in early examples of the reference, similar to examples from the A series in its stainless steel counterpart. Possibly unique, the present Royal Oak features a double signed caseback, embossed with the name of the remarkable high jeweller, Fred. Established in 1936, the Parisian Maison was founded by Monsieur Fred Samuel, an Argentinian-born artisan who struck the French jewellery scene with his electrifying creativity and a new sense of casual luxury. Much like Audemars Piguet, they were a family owned-owned enterprise with pronouncedly distinctive designs combining the use of the finest materials, state-of-the-art craftsmanship and avant-garde vision. The jewellery brand then expanded their reach as a luxury house in 1975, distributing watches by Piaget, Rolex, Baume & Mercier and Audemars Piguet to their patrons. Among the first to make coloured diamonds their specialty, FRED most notably for became the crown jeweller of Monaco and the supplier for many other Royal families around the world. Despite joining the LVMH Group in 1995, their vibrant and spirited design DNA is still very much alive. No doubt, their most iconic “Force 10” bracelet, conceived in 1978, remains a highly coveted staple for the style conscious today. According to our research, the present timepiece is the first and only known yellow gold Royal Oak in the market to feature a caseback signed by FRED. The other known Audemars Piguet Royal Oak example, retailed by Fred, is a white gold ref. BC4187/344BC with a diamondset dial from circa 1983, sold at auction in December 2018, achieving a result of 180,000 Euros.

1986 marked the year Audemars Piguet released their first-ever automatic chronograph wristwatch with date indication. Initially presented without a collection name, they were nicknamed as the “Huitieme” in some catalogues made for the Italian market, since 1988.

Fitted in a soft, subtle yellow gold case, the present wristwatch features a warm white dial paired with black indexes and a tachymeter scale. Completed with hands and sub-counters in the same hue as its case, this is a well-balanced timepiece in both proportions and palate. With a “C” serial, the current timepeice is most certainly one of the earlier examples of this reference.

The ref. 5038 launched in 1996 embodies the essence of the ref. 3940 from caliber to case design. However, the ref. 5038 packs a bit of identity due to its hobnail decorated bezel and a black lacquered

with white painted Roman numerals. One of the most undervalued perpetual calendar references by the firm, the ref. 5038 was only ever produced in white gold.

In the realm of fine watchmaking, there has been many great innovations, craftsmanship and heritage. In one specific spectrum of them all, many have tried to master though only a few can truly master, the minute repeater. Patek Philippe is no stranger when it comes to the illustrious chiming watch and is rightfully regarded by most as the don of repeating timepieces.

The history of the minute repeating watch harkens back to the 17th century when Daniel Quare was claimed as the inventor of the first repeater mechanism in 1686 by the King of England. At the end of the 18th century, master watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet invented the ring gongs and hammers that replaced the iron bell, a mechanism that would change the scope of repeating timepieces for centuries to come. Although some would argue that the true inventor of the minute repeater belongs to Thomas Mudge in 1750, some earlier examples were found in Germany. Today, the minute repeating wristwatch is considered one of the most complicated to craft and are prized possessions of esteemed collectors.

In 1850s, Patek Philippe created their very first minute repeating pocket watches. For years to come, the firm has already secured the position of being the best in class for these chiming timepieces. It was until 1960 during the post-war era, that minute repeating timepieces were no longer in demand. With a pause in production for these enigmatic timepieces, it was only in 1989 when the firm celebrated its 150th anniversary that minute repeaters came back into play allowing collectors to admire and appreciate the eloquent chimes mastered by the firm over centuries.

PATEK

Today the new breed of Patek Philippe minute repeating timepieces is on a whole new level garnering once again a loyal following with the quest to acquire the best with a fruitful selection developed over the years with a diverse range of complications offered.

Released in 2008, the Patek Philippe ref. 5207 was at the time of its launch the top three most complicated wristwatches ever produced by the firm. Featuring a minute repeater and a tourbillon with an instantaneous perpetual calendar with leap year, day/night indication and moon phases all in a 41mm diameter case, the reference is simply stunning. With three apertures on the top of the dial indicating day, date and month, the legibility is further enhanced through a perfectly symmetrical dial layout. With moon phases at 6 o’clock and an additional two apertures one on each side indicating day/night and leap years, it is a rather user-friendly design. Powered by the firm’s in-house cal. R TO 27 PS QI, the impressive movement is composed of 549 individual parts with an accuracy of -1/+2 seconds per day. It is believed that only 10 examples of the reference are produced annually making them extremely rare timepieces.

First released in 2008 in platinum with a yellow gold dial, it was in 2012 when the firm released an example in pink gold featuring a black dial. In the following year, the firm released their gem-set variant via the ref. 5307 in platinum with baguette-cut diamond-set bezel. In 2015, the firm released arguably their most interesting iteration via the ref. 5207/700P-001 (the present example) featuring a brown hand-guilloche dial with mahogany obsidian inlays. The reference was discontinued in 2018 which made way for the newest iteration in white gold with a blue dial.

Possibly the most handsome example from its class, the ref. 5207/700P-001 features meticulous mahogany obsidian inlays seen on the minute repeating slider and on the casebands. Differing from other examples featuring handengraved casebands. Furthermore, while its other counterparts feature a regular sun blast dial, the present example features hand-guilloche on the center with a degrade finish giving the dial a lively vibrancy.

Offered in “like new” overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear, complete with its full set of accessories including its additional solid caseback, it has also been in the safekeeping of the original owner since the purchase of the present timepiece in 2016. Also, it is the first example of the reference to ever be offered at any auction, it is truly a momentous event that PHILLIPS is humbled and delighted to be entrusted by the owner of the present timepiece to offer this spectacular chiming work of art at our Hong Kong Watch Auction: XV.

A true gem in modern horology, the present Patek Philippe ref. 5207/700P001 is a grail that would be a highlight in any collection of the finest timepieces.

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner, ref. 16610LV was introduced in 2003 and enjoyed instant recognition for being the first of its kind to feature the now-iconic green bezel. A cult favourite sought after by collectors, its nickname was coined after “Kermit” the Frog, as the colour of its bezel resembles the everyman protagonist in the Muppet productions. Only in production for 7 years, the reference was replaced in 2010 by ref. 116610LV, the “Hulk” which was updated with a green Cerachrom bezel and a matching green dial. The present timepiece is an early example of the “Kermit” as it features a distinguishable “Flat Four” bezel insert.

With a newly developed 41mm diameter case, the lugs have been redesigned with a slimmer profile giving the watch a more tapered appeal resulting in a 21mm lug width compared to its previous 20mm width. Powered by the firm’s newly developed cal. 3235, the caliber incorporates the patented Chronergy escapement which combines high energy efficiency with great dependability enhancing the efficiency of the escapement by 15%. Furthermore, the power reserve has been extended to 70 hours compared to its previous 48 hours.

was a game-changer in the history of horology and an impressive achievement for the German brand. Cased in a 39mm platinum and fitted with a rich black dial, the flyback function of the Datograph allows the chronograph to be instantly reset to zero and started again in the midst of an ongoing measurement by simply pushing down the chronograph button. As soon as the button is released, a new timing cycle commences.

Though the first generation Datograph was made available in other case metals and dial variants during its production period between 1999 and 2012, the platinum case and black dial is the original Datograph that captured the admiration of so many collectors and connoisseurs when it first appeared at Baselworld in 1999. Some of the most recognizable and authoritative voices in the watch industry cite the Datograph as one of their favorite timepieces, including revered independent watchmaker, Philippe Dufour.

Debuted in 2012 as the second generation of the Datograph with two variants: platinum ref. 405.035 and pink gold ref 405.031 like the present example, there are design upgrades such as the increased case diameter at 41mm, the change of hour markers from Roman numerals to baton indexes, and most importantly, the addition of a power reserve indication at 6 o’clock indicated as “AB” and “AUF” also known as the Up/Down.

2022, no doubt, is a big year for Audemars Piguet. It is exactly 50 years since the Royal Oak was presented to the world as their inaugural onslaught on a true luxury sports watch, cased in stainless steel. Gone with the old and in with the new; the ref. 16202 has replaced its predecessor, the ref. 15202, after a long and successful production run for over two decades.

The timepiece at hand is one of the four novelties that celebrates a new generation Royal Oak “Jumbos”:

Ref. 16202ST.OO.1240ST.01, in steel, on a steel bracelet, with a special anniversary blue dial

Ref. 16202OR.OO.1240OR.01, in pink gold on a pink gold bracelet, with a “smoked grey” dial (present example)

Ref. 16202BA.OO.1240BA.01, in yellow gold on a yellow gold bracelet, with a smoked gold dial

Ref. 16202PT.OO.1240PT.01 in platinum on a platinum bracelet, with a smoked green dial

Staying true to its roots, the ref. 16202 is essentially the ref. 15202, with a subtle facelift and a new beating heart. However, unlike its older siblings, the most significant upgrade is the new cal. 7121. In place of the seminal cal. 2121, the replacement is slightly larger and thicker than its original but the performance is enhanced across the board and compact enough to remain in a 39mm case that is only 8.1 mm thick.

Framed in a warm and inviting pink gold case, the ref. 16202OR boasts a striking smoked grey dial. According to Audemars Piguet, achieving this aesthetic is extremely labour-intensive and each dial must undergo a painstaking repetitive process of galvanic baths. There is no room for error as the duration and temperature are key to reaching a uniform tinting across the different pieces. The smoked effect is then achieved by meticulously spraying coloured varnish onto the dial’s outline, while rotating, to reach a seamless gradation. Offered in “like-new” condition, the present Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin, 50th Anniversary edition is complete with a 22K pink gold hollowed “50 Years” winding rotor is revealed through the sapphire caseback. The rotor will only be included in watches produced in 2022, after which they will revert back to the ordinary rotor. Accompanied by its original accessories, this wristwatch will be a fantastic addition to any collection. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

While the Royal Oak has offered a wide array of case materials, sizes and complications over the decades, the true essence of the iconic model has always been retained. In 2012, the firm released the ref. 15450 in stainless steel featuring a 37mm diameter case that was popular among both gentlemen and lady collectors due to its friendly and versatile size. Powered by the firm’s cal. 3120 visible through its sapphire display caseback, the dial features

Piguet’s signature ‘Grande Tapisserie’ pattern. Four years later in 2016, the firm released their first yellow gold variant of the reference featuring a desirable blue dial making it immediately a crowd pleaser. The variant was exclusive only to

them rarer than its regular counterparts.

The present example Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 15450BA from circa 2017 with a blue dial is offered in an attractive overall condition with a layer of patina that has developed around the bezel and case stating its prolonged period of inactivity.

Since the initial introduction of the Royal Oak in 1972, various iterations of the famed model was released to cater towards the growing demand for luxury sports wristwatches. In 1988, Audemars Piguet released a rare mid-size variant of the Royal Oak ref. 14486 measuring 36mm in diameter and was a transition model that bridged the ref. 4100 and 14790. Featuring essentially an attractive vintage appeal with a Stern creations petite tapisserie dial with an upgraded cal. 2131, the mid-size ref. 14486 is a perfect marriage of the old and new.

PATEK

In 2011, the master of 21st century

Francois-Paul Journe unveils the “Line Sport” collection dedicated to rigorous precision of sports activity. The Centigraphe Sport engineered with patented innovations and an astounding lightness is the first wristwatch to be made entirely in aluminium. First sported in a 42mm diameter case was the in-house manual wound movement cal. 1506 that provides an intricate reading of 100th of a second, 20 seconds and 10 minutes with the most utmost accuracy. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red with abbreviations of ‘S’, ‘M’ or ‘PR’ indicating seconds or minutes per revolution.

One ingenious feature of the movement is the ability to effectively isolate the chronograph from the time keeping function, meaning the balance amplitude would remain unaffected when the chronograph is running in full speed. The 100th of a second counter may be stopped on demand along its one-second journey around the dial with yet another clever innovation of an usual rocker pusher. Acting as a brake of this workhorse, the rocker allows quick manoeuvre between the start and stop function. It’s technicality brilliance was also known to be proudly conceived on the wrist of French Formula One racer, Jean Alesi, during his first INDY500 motorsports event.

In 2014, Journe replaced the aluminum model with a titanium version, and then in 2019 he released the 18K pink gold version like the present watch. Armoured in a fresh matte hammered pink gold appeal down to the hefty bracelet, the Centigraphe is elevated to a whole new level for this innovative sports watch. A perfect design of silver guilloche dial covered with ruthenium, the appliques numerals and hour and minute hands features the same gold, making the overall dial seamlessly beautiful.

The watch is Journe’s answer to creating a motorsport timekeeper that provides best-in-class, mechanical timing. The present example is in “likenew” condition and is offered with its original guarantee and presentation box. The pink gold Line Sport Centigraphe Souverain is a milestone wristwatch in the history of F. P. Journe, and the present lot offers a very rare opportunity to own one of these masterpieces.

A silhouette that is truly unique, a man with a loupe on his head, puffing out smoke from his elegant pipe in his Atelier amongst the peaceful valley of Le Solliat in the Vallée de joux. Philippe Dufour is a name that’s foreign to none in the world of horology, a true living legend and guardian of traditional watchmaking in our times.

An independent watchmaker since the late 1970s, Dufour restored antique and vintage timepieces which led him ten years later to develop a very small series of pocket and grand sonnerie wrist watches, followed by the Duality, the world’s first wristwatch incorporating a double escapement.

After having proven his undeniable talent and expertise in creating ultracomplicated mechanisms, he set out in the year 2000 to create yet another icon. Classic, well-proportioned 37mm case, a three-handed timepiece, the Simplicity is a masterpiece.

The gentle flow of the bridges’ curves, the bold and alluring inward and outward angles, the hand applied Geneva waves and red rubies provide a seductive visual harmony. Needless to say that the decoration and assembly are done by hand explaining the fact that less than a dozen Simplicities per year left Dufour’s workshops in the Vallée de Joux. For the astute connoisseurs, everyday was a pleasure to wait, the craftsmanship of a Dufour timepiece is just divine. The present watch bearing movement number 113 belongs to the original Japanese collector who knew the importance and beauty of the Simplicity.

First released in 1988, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref.16520 was the firm’s first Daytona model to feature a self-winding caliber. As the brands first, the reliable Zenith El Primero based cal. 4030 was considered as one of the best self-winding chronograph movements at the time. Discontinued in 2000, it was replaced by the ref. 116520 featuring Rolex’s first in-house self-winding chronograph movement. Fitted with the last out-sourced caliber, the ref. 16520 commands a higher value today and is very popular among collectors and enthusiasts in the market.

With most examples of the reference commanding a formidable value today, various series such as the present example command an even higher value than its standard counterparts. In the manufacturing process of the dial, one of the factors contributing to the unique “tropical” effect is the varnish used at the time by Rolex, Zapon. Applied on top of the silvered registers, the varnish for some examples were not applied equally. In 2005, acclaimed Italian auctioneer noticed a difference in the color of the register originally silver whilst putting together an auction and despite its natural imperfection, the watch was sold for double its estimate, hence examples bearing a S,N,T and W serial with “tropical” brown registers received the attention from collectors. However, usually witnessed with lighter shades of brown, a few examples that has surfaced in the market featured registers in much darker “espressolike” hue earning its nickname the “Darth Vader”. Extremely rare as these imperfections are natural occurrences, most examples feature an ununiformed change in hue, making examples that are uniformed extremely desirable and scarce.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16520 “Darth Vader” with an “S” serial from circa 1994 falls into the rare batch. One of the more attractive examples seen in recent times, the intense tropicalization of the registers have aged consistently and uniformly. With the growing demand and value for the reference, this highly rare example will surely be a delightful timepiece to add to a fine collection of important timepieces.

Possibly one of the most talked about contemporary Speedmaster model in recent times, the ref. 311.30.42.30.01.004 was first introduced in 2013.

Featuring an exotic “racing” dial with red and white accents, the true inspiration behind the creation of this non-limited edition Speedmaster remained a myth.

One of the most sought-after and controversial Speedmaster models at its launch, it was clear that Omega marketed the model as a Speedmaster Racing. Enthusiasts soon probed that the watch maybe Omega’s discreet hint of the collaboration between the firm and the famed Cartoon “The Adventures of Tintin”. Declining the speculation from the community once again due to copyright issues, it was clear that the red and white “racing” dial was the exact reflection of Tintin’s rocket, where the character used to travel to the moon in the cartoon by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, also known as, Hergé.

Micro-blasted the case of this revival model is based on the 38mm El Primero A386 giving the watch a more contemporary aesthetic. The dial is rendered in matching dark grey with matte black segments with Super-Luminova patterns that pays homage to the vintage original. Beating inside is the El Primero 400 which is the same movement found in the ref. G383. A spectacular reinterpretation of the original, the Chronomaster Revival “Poker Chip” is produced in a limited edition 200 pieces only. Practically unworn and kept in its “like-new” overall condition, this is definitely the wildest El Primero that Zenith fans must have.

Making its way onto the scene in 1996, the Aquanaut was first released to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the model being the first sports watch by the firm to incorporate a rubber strap. Over the past two decades, the Aquanaut has become an important model in the lineage of the firm and has continued to gain notoriety among collectors globally due to its iconic looks and robustness.

In 2017, Patek Philippe the ref. 5168G-001 featuring a blue dial with a 42.2mm diameter case to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut. An instant success and extremely well-received at its initial launch, it is still today one of the hardest to obtain references at the boutique.

Offered in “like new” condition and complete with its full set of accessories, the present example from circa 2022 is a great chance for collectors to skip the long queue at the boutique to acquire an unworn specimen at immediate.

Since the establishment of the firm in 1999, Richard Mille has developed a lasting relationship with Formula 1. Having offered numerous models inspired by motorsport racing over the years, one of the very first companionship between Mille and the sport was with Brazilian legend, Felipe Massa. In 2007, Richard Mille released their first self-winding chronograph model via the RM011 Felipe Massa. Becoming what is to be one of the most important foundation of the evolution of Mille chronographs, RM011 was released during a time where Richard Mille only offered the RM004 and RM008 which were both split-second chronographs.

The RM011 featured a self-winding movement made by Vaucher and its flyback chronograph mechanism by Dubois-Dépraz, a trusted name in the industry. Housed inside its signature tonneau-shaped grade 5 titanium case, the construction of the case took over 202 different machine procedures to execute with the help of analytical engineering methods used inspired by Formula 1 racing.

The present Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa from circa 2012 is complete with its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition.

Its purpose, by means of a lever actuated via the winding crown alters the mode of activity. Indicated on both the periphery on the dial and on the back of the movement with three level of intensity, H M and L, the wearer can set the timepiece to H for sport mode to avoid any surges of the rewinding spring, M for normal everyday wear, or L for slow to ensure minimum winding is sufficient to maintain regulating performance.

Additionally, the movement features a patented triple pare-chute shock absorbing system with titanium bridge and ultralight balance wheel providing for a high degree of shock resistance.Debuted as part of the Tempus All Black commemorative editions with seven watchmaking houses in 2007, there are only 10 pieces of DB24 Tempus edition in black titanium made.

Making its important debut in 1936, the Cartier Asymétrique was born amidst some of the most exciting times of watchmaking, especially for Cartier. During the innovative period where the firm was experimenting with creative case designs, the Asymétrique is definitely one that stood out among them all. Featuring a distorted rectangular-shaped case, more specifically parallelogram-shaped, the dial design is something unique to the specific model where the layout is also asymmetric.

With the first modern interpretation launched in 1996, the ref. 2842 was released in 2006 as a limited edition series of 150 pieces for the coveted Collection Privée Cartier Paris (CPCP) in yellow gold. Featuring a large jumbo case with elegant Roman numerals and the firm’s signature guilloché dial, the case features an additional centre lug on both ends while its earlier examples featured only four lugs in total.

Elegant, rare and highly desirable, the present example numbered 36 is offered in attractive overall condition. With rising demands on fancy shaped Cartier timepiece, the Tank Asymétrique is certainly a must have from the collection.

The name “game changer” is applied to a great many men who might not necessarily be worthy of the title. Nonetheless, a watchmaker who is truly deserving of this label is Vianney Halter, both for this quirky designs and quality craftsmanship. Starting from within, the present pink gold Classic is powered by an modified double barrel Lemania cal. 8810. The rotor is fashioned from a thin sapphire glass outlined by a ringed weight. “Floating” above the movement, this ingenious self-winding mechanism provides an unobstructed view of the beautifully finished caliber. The Côtes de Geneve stripes play a distorted effect with its beholder, while the polished edges add a further level of visual dissonance to the appeal. A quiet giant, the 36mm case feels much larger on the wrists with its thick submarine-esque bezel, eccentric lugs and riveted crown. According to the watchmaker, the studded details are used to help the grip on the crown. Moving onto the dial, this three-dimensional creation features a frosted inner chapter in the

layered with an outer chapter ring with circular-brushed finishes. Light is delicately bounced off the highly polished edges, creating the perfect canvas for its elegant curved blue hands. From its case, the floating rotor, to the dial and its hands, every angle has been hand-finished by Vianney Halter and his team of trusted specialists in St Imier, Switzerland. A rare and remarkable timpiece from an esteemed independent watchmaker, the present specimen is numbered 50 of 250 examples. The model was available in pink, yellow and white gold, complete with varying dial iterations. Dressed in pink gold, this version is hardly seen on the market and provides the ideal opportunity for collectors of gaming changing artisans to own an extraordinarily coveted creation that is hard to come by.

The present GoldPfeil GPVH is the result of an ambitious project executed by the German luxury house that called upon seven members of the Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants (AHCI) to each produce a limited series of wristwatches that would make a statement in the world of horology in celebration of the new millennium. Among these seven masters (Sven Anderson, Martin Frei with Thomas and Felix Baumgarter, Vincent Calabrese, Vianney Halter, Frank Jutzi, Bernhard Lederer and Antoine Preziuso), the watchmaker who realised the present timepiece is none other than Vianney Halter, best known for his work behind the Antiqua and with Harry Winston.

Inspired by vintage rangefinder cameras with their fitted leather GoldPfeil cases, time is expressed through the three sub-dials: minutes (the blue “GoldPfeil” arrow) and running seconds, jump hours in the window on the left corner, and a moon phase illustrated by stylized glyphs around the subdial.

Given each piece of the present model required a tremendous amount of time and expertise to perfect, Halter’s creation was the most expensive of the seven watches. The front of the white gold case is covered with hundreds of handhammered micro dimples, intended to mirror the appearance of a leather protector on antique cameras. The complex crown is fashioned according to a camera’s winding knob, while the unique white gold buckle for the strap takes its cues from the loading mechanism for film rolls. The self-winding movement within is also developed in-house by Halter. Most notably, the moon phase is one of the most accurate ever installed in a wristwatch, deviating by a day in 139 years, compared to the 122 years of the typical moon phase in a high-end wristwatch.

According to the master watchmaker himself, this series of GoldPfeil GPVH watches is a limited edition of 108 pieces, along with an additional unique gem-set variant that was created to raise funds for charity. Presented in excellent overall condition, this will be a fantastic addition to any collection, especially for collectors who appreciate the work of some of the most coveted watchmakers and their unique approach to horology.

For well over a hundred years, Schwarz Etienne has dedicated itself to crafting the finest movements for the watch industry in La Chaux-de-Fonds since 1902. Founded by Paul Arthur Schwarz and his wife, Olga Etienne, the brand conceived quality mechanical movements under its umbrella, notably Venus, Alpha Sultana Le Phare and Astin, with partnerships with major companies such as Chanel, Dunhill, Mauboussin and Caran d’Ache. Fast forward to recent times, in 2007 a pivotal change lead by passionate local entrepreneur, Raffaello Radichhi took over Schwarz Etienne with a grandeur ambition to produce new cutting-edge in-house calibers with the release of exclusive models under the “SE” brand. With impressive capabilities down to producing their own hairsprings and even CNC machines for watch parts, the powerhouse also notably produced calibers for rising star such as MING watches. Launched in 2020, the present Roma

Synergy is the opus of two incredible names of haute horology: Schwarz Etienne and Kari Voutilainen. A fantastic collaboration produced in a limited series of 50 pieces for each dial variation (royal blue and sand grey). Numbered 38 out of 50 pieces, the present sand grey variant sporting monochromatic sophistication provides a full display of Voutilainen’s signature guilloché. Soleil decoration on the hour track in dark grey, écailles de poisson motif dominating the center contrasting the vague guilloché on the small seconds with the warm of sand grey, this 39mm stainless steel wristwatch decorated by Les Ateliers Kari Voutilainen is as good as it can get. Preserved in extremely attractive condition barely worn on the wrist by the original owner, this tasteful piece of horological artistry is a must have for discerned connoisseurs.

Made in two variants 18K pink gold (ref. 323.047) and white gold (ref. 323.046) with both examples limited to 38 pieces, the model is certainly a rare bird in the lineage of the 1815 model.

Another interesting feature is its hinged caseback allowing the wearer to open to reveal the charismatic cal.

To celebrate the 165th anniversary of the firm and its founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange, a series of limited edition timepieces were launched to commemorate the event presented by Walter Lange in 2010 as a tribute to his great grandfather. All three models cased in the firm’s innovated 18K honey gold alloy, a total of 265 pieces of 1815 Moon Phase were produced, 150 pieces of Lange 1 Tourbillon and 50 pieces of Tourbograph Pour le Mérite. Adored by collectors, honey gold is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides robustness being more scratch resistant to other gold alloys.

The 1815 Moon Phase is a sight to behold, not only is it handsomely attractive but the technical ingenuity behind the mechanism is impressive. If kept running and wound, the highly precise moon phase gear train required no correction for the next 1,000 years.

First released in 1994, the Lange 1 is the flagship model for A. Lange & Söhne

1. Displaying eccentric time and seconds with an asymmetrically positioned large date window and power reserve at 3 o’clock, the model has become a landmark for the brand and widely recognized throughout the horological sphere. Impressive during its initial launch, the Lange 1 is regarded as one of the most popular models manufactured by the firm.

While the earliest examples of the model featured a solid caseback, the present example from circa 1999 carries some of the distinctive traits of an early Lange 1, such as the rare dial with painted black Roman numerals and blued steel hands compared to later examples featuring applied gold Roman numerals. Featuring a transparent caseback, it allows for the wearer to admire the intricate craftsmanship of the famed cal. L901.0 composed of German silver.

With the ever-increasing demand for the Lange 1 in recent times, early examples are certainly a rare delight for collectors seeking for a timeless icon from Lange. The present example is complete with its original guarantee and fitted presentation box.

As with many German-made mechanical goods, the one constant is methodical and deliberate craftsmanship, precision engineering, and immaculate design. In the world of luxury watches, where Switzerland is flooding the market with the many luxury brands that make up this segment, A. Lange & Söhne is a German watchmaker that holds its own. While this Glashütte-based manufacturer originally solely made pocket watches until World War II, it took close to a half-a-century hiatus before eventually reentering the market with the Lange 1, their first wristwatch, in 1994. Since their glorious comeback, they have produced many exceptional watches which are not only mechanically virtuous but also breath-taking on the wrist. This stunning wristwatch features the distinct outsized double date apertures just below 12 o’clock, a sub-dial for the day of the week at the 9 o’clock position, a month sub-dial at the 3 o’clock position, and last but not least, a moon phase just above 6 o’clock. The marvel of the Saxonia Annual Calendar is that it’s

hard to decide which side of the case looks more beautiful. In fact, you can see most of the 476 flawlessly polished components of the caliber L085.1 through the sapphire crystal on the back of the watch. For a slender case, only 9.8mm thick, packing that much movement into a 38.5 mm case is rather impressive. This is one among many reasons why a collector would opt for a German luxury watch of its Swiss counterpart. Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this is the perfect opportunity to secure the

Calendar, a mechanical marvel that will stand the test of time.

Since its establishment in 1881, the Le Brassus-based manufacturer Audemars Piguet has been an admirable asset to the history and development of horology. Paying homage to one of the two founders, the firm launched the Jules Audemars collection in 1982 to respect the noble craft of traditional Swiss watchmaking. Encapsulating traditional craftsmanship fused along with contemporized elements, the result achieved is perhaps a timeless appeal.

The Jules Audemars Tourbillon Chronographe ref. 26010 is a perfect embodiment of the model line. Adopting a 43mm diameter case, the model was available in white gold and pink gold like the present example. A balance of finishing from mirror polishing on the bezel through the top facet of the lugs, the caseband is finished with a brushed surface in contrast. Featuring an classic dial that displays a guilloche pattern encircled by thin matching pink gold applied hour markers, the beating tourbillon carriage grabs the wearer’s attention with understated elegance.

Preserved in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its full set of accessories, this beautiful pink gold example is perfect for the distinguished collector who appreciates traditional Swiss watchmaking and classic design.

Regarded by collectors as the true masters of minute repeating timepieces, Patek Philippe has created some of the most appreciated pieces over the decades. From pure minute repeating timepieces to complicated examples featuring perpetual calendars and tourbillons, it is perhaps the essence of the chime that the firm has perfected with each metal, case size, case shape and construction that hold such an important place in the heart of a collector.

Released in 2005, the Patek Philippe ref. 5078 featuring a 38mm diameter round-shaped case with fluted lugs and an elegant enamel dial with Roman numerals captivated purists. Powered by a self-winding movement with micro-rotor, its caliber R 27 PS is comprised of 342 parts and measures a very slim 5.05 mm in thickness. Winding is accomplished via a beautifully engraved micro-rotor, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, and superbly integrated into the movement to permit an unobstructed view of the repeater’s hammers and gongs.

Featuring “cathedral gongs”, the chime that is achieved by the hammer striking against the gong is longer than a regular repeater. The gong in a standard repeating mechanism wraps around the movement once whereas those of the “Cathedral” mechanism wrap around the movement with a length equivalent to nearly two circumferences and are thus twice as long compared to standard ones. The result being a richer and fuller timbre with the notes lingering slightly longer.

Originally released in pink gold, the reference was later released in platinum with a superbly attractive black lacquer dial with white Roman numerals in 2008. Discontinued in 2017, the reference was replaced by an example in white gold featuring a cream enamel dial with Breguet numerals.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5078P-010 from circa 2012 with a black lacquer dial and white Roman numerals is a stunning example in both its clean and sleek aesthetics as well as its state of preservation. Packed with a strong and mesmeric chime, it is truly one that a collectors can never forget. Offered with its complete set of accessories, this rare gem is a fantastic opportunity for collectors and admirers of minute repeating timepieces to acquire one of Patek Philippe’s chiming signatures.

Introduced in 1906, the Cartier Tonneau is a barrel-shaped wristwatch precursory to tastes of the Art Deco era that would soon follow. Both bold and proportionally ideal, today’s Tonneau remains one of the most iconic and elegant timepieces, retaining its original grandeur parallel to its predecessors.

Distinctive with its barrel-shaped curves, the present Tonneau Double Fuseau wears elegantly due to its slim and rounded case that perfectly caresses the contours of the wrist. The elongated profile of this piece is beautifully balanced by the symmetrical pairing of the dual time zone complication, stacked on top of one another. Powered by two individual movements it houses the firm’s cal. 8970MC manual wound caliber, hence two crowns are fitted on the caseband for time adjustment.

The present example Cartier Tonneau in white gold with a diamond-set bezel is a luxurious iteration of the famed barrel-shaped wristwatch. The present lot is offered in attractive overall condition and complete with its certificate and presentation box.

One of the most emblematic and classic watch cases of the early 20th century is the Tortue. Designed by Louis Cartier in 1912, the rounded tonneau-shaped case was elegant and sophisticated and named “tortue à pattes” or “turtle on legs” both for its similarity to the animal’s shape and symbolism of good fortune and longevity.

Elegantly proportioned, the Tortue-shaped case is set with two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds throughout. Housed inside is the firm’s signature guilloche dial with Roman numerals. Once flipped one can witness a display caseback revealing the highly praised manual cal. 430MC from the coveted CPCP collection.

A curved dagger on a belt topped with two crossed swords. The “Khanjar” crest has almost become epochal in the world of watch collecting. It is not every day that we come across a vintage Rolex enthroned with this symbol, let alone an example featuring an insignia of a “crown” above the “Khanjar” complete with a “laurel wreath”. Imprinted in white, this golden trinity is indeed the emblem of the Sultanate Police Coat of Arms.

Watches commissioned by the Sultan of Oman are revered and respected by enthusiasts all over the world. These made-to-order timepieces have witnessed some of the most important examples achieving paramount figures at auction. This is perhaps due to the heritage behind these exceedingly rare pieces and the sacred meaning behind them. A watch advocate himself, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Saided contracted Rolex to create watches with custom dials as gifted tokens of appreciation from the Sultanate to foreign dignitaries and his loyal subjects.

In this case, variants with the Royal Omani Police Force symbol are by far the most uncommon of its kind as they were only given to serving members of the police force.

While most Rolexes with Omani dials that have resurfaced in recent years feature the “Khanjar” symbol in different colours, examples flaunting the Royal Oman Police Force coat of arms are nearly impossible to find. According to our research and believed by scholars, examples blessed with this extraordinary emblem were only commissioned on the Submariner ref. 16800 and GMTMaster ref. 16750.

Extremely rare, it is believed that there are only five known examples, excluding the present timepiece, of the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 bearing the crest of the Sultanate Police, each bearing a 7.625 million serial and manufactured in the same batch. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that these examples were produced in absence of their serial numbers repeatedly stamped inside the caseback.

The present Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 is from circa 1983, bearing a 7.622 million serial, suggesting that this is perhaps the earliest sample with the printed white emblem of the Royal Oman Police Force that has resurfaced to the market. Specifically stamped in white as a colour-coded memorandum, it represents “Peace” and “Prosperity”. Launched in 1981, the ref. 16750 replaced the long-lived ref. 1675 with the introduction of a practical quick-set date feature, with early specimens of the reference featuring a matte dial then later examples from circa 1986 fitted with glossy dials. Regarded as a transitional model, the ref. 16750 was discontinued just seven years later and was succeeded by the ref. 16700 in 1988.

Fresh to the market, Phillips is proud to present the sixth known example of the ref. 16750 with a Sultanate Police Coat of Arms dial. The present wristwatch is offered in excellent overall condition with a well-preserved dial, framed by a red and blue “Pepsi” bezel. Combining its rarity, condition and desirable features, this Royal Oman Police Force GMT-Master is, no doubt, a sight to behold, destined to captivate collectors and admirers of vintage Rolex treasures.

The history of the Omega Speedmaster Professional is well-known within the collecting community, and both the brand and their timepieces are entrenched within the history of the United States NASA space program from its beginnings to the present, and has the honour of being “the first watch worn on the moon”. Over the last sixty years, Omega has released special edition models celebrating one of the most spectacular feats of mankind and the present watch is made all the more special with the addition of the Khanjar daggers emblem of Sultanate of Oman.

The Sultan of Oman Qaboos bin Said al Said, a well-known collector of fine watches, commissioned timepieces from brands, which were then engraved with the national emblem, and these watches were given as gifts to dignitaries and friends. The most frequently seen “Khanjar” watches are from Rolex and include models like the Submariner, to Day-Date, and Daytona Cosmograph. The present example from Omega is exceedingly rare and research suggests only ten Omega timepieces were made for the Omani ruler in 1991.

The present lot, from 1993 and sold to Oman, is in immaculate condition with crisp factory finish to the lugs and band, along with sharp bevels, and crisp Khanjar emblem engraved to the caseback. The luminous material has turned a warm orange brown hue. Today, collectors are seeking the rare and usual, along with extraordinary condition, this Omega chronograph celebrating mankind’s remarkable accomplishments checks all the boxes with a rarity unmatched, a condition unmatched and original warranty and Omega Khanjar wooden presentation box. Another similar example was sold in ‘Start Stop Reset’ Thematic Auction at Phillips in 2016 for 30,000 CHF.

The Rolex Submariner is arguably the most iconic wristwatch ever produced by any manufacturer. Initially released in 1953, the Submariner was the world’s “go to” professional diver’s wristwatch, and today it has become “the” go to watch. Earliest examples of the Submariner featured a time only function with no date. However, in the late 1960s Rolex released their first ever Submariner reference with a date function via the ref. 1680.In modern times, Rolex has always continued to release examples of the classic “Black Sub” without a date. In 2010, Rolex introduced the upgraded ref. 114060 replacing its former ref. 14060, which enjoyed a production of over 20 years. While its aesthetics remain widely unchanged, the new ref. 114060 was the first “No Date” Submariner to feature a Cerachrom bezel. In 2020, Rolex discontinued the ref. 114060 and introduced the new ref. 124060 fitted with a new cal. 3235 and a larger case at 41mm diameter.

The present example of the discontinued ref. 114060 is certainly not the usual example. Heightened its status, an even more desirable collectability lies on the reverse of the timepiece. Featured on the caseback is the engraving of the “Khanjar”, it is no secret that these timepieces with the special emblem was commissioned by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. Very well-preserved and accompanied complete with its original guarantee stamped by Khimji Ramdas which has been the official retailer of Rolex in Muscat, Oman.

Although the Octo Finissimo is available in a number of metals (titanium, steel, ceramic, and pink gold), only a few dial variants have been made, making the current titanium specimen with dark green Eastern Arabic numerals a very uncommon and highly sought after piece. Made only available for retailers in the Middle East market and preserved in its pristine, unworn condition, this is a superb opportunity for modern icon collectors to acquire something of limited production and accessible exclusively in Bulgari stores in the Middle East.

Audemars Piguet is no stranger to creating openworked timepieces. They have been leaders in this field for decades, with the first skeletonised Royal Oak pendant ref. 5710BA from 1981, followed by the launch of their first openworked Royal Oak Jumbo ref. 14811 in 1992. Produced in small quantities with various designs, skeletonised Royal Oaks disappeared near the beginning of 2000 and resurfaced again in 2010, then in 2012, and later in 2014.

The Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked ref. 16204OR is part of the livery that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak. Adhering strongly to the design DNA of its predecessor, the closed-dial ref. 16202, the present reference is fitted in a pink gold classic Jumbo 39mm case. Audemars Piguet decided to stay true to the original overall aesthetic with a modern twist by putting its beating heart on display.

From a technical standpoint, the story is, however told differently. After 50 years of employing the JLC-based movement, the Royal Oak Jumbo models are finally equipped with new in-house movements that allow Audemars Piguet to flaunt their mechanical prowess. Revealed through its sapphire crystal, the automatic cal. 7124 within the present model is a modified version of the new cal. 7121 that powers its closed-dial sibling from the same release. As a time-only configuration, the movement is also extra thin and is finished to the highest degree in slate grey, creating a sublime contrast to the warm pink gold case.

Although the ref. 16204OR is not a limited edition reference; it most likely will not be produced in high quantities. To honour this model’s momentous milestone, a 22K pink gold hollowed “50 Years” winding rotor is revealed through the sapphire case back. The rotor will only be included in watches produced in 2022, after which they will revert to an unmarked rotor.

Complete with its original accessories, do not hesitate to seize this opportunity and become a proud owner of this 2022 Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin Openworked wristwatch in “like-new” condition. All proceeds exceeding the cost for the consignor will be donated to charities supporting access to medical care for families in need and orphanages.

The Rolex Explorer II was first introduced in 1971 by the way of the ref. 1655. Designed for expeditioners and professional alike, one of the most notable traits of the ref. 1655 is its large orange luminous 24-hour hand, which allowed the wearer to differentiate night and day under any conditions earning its nickname the “Freccione” or “Big Arrow”.

With its production spanning to the mid-1980s, the ref. 1655 was released with a total of 5 different marks as well as two service dials (one with tritium and one with luminova). The earliest examples of the reference known as the Mark I featured a distinctive straight center seconds hand. The present example Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655 fitted with a MK I dial belongs to an early example of the reference with a 2.7 million serial from circa 1971.

The present Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 1665 was presented to COMEX diver Joe Putnam for his part in the daring rescue of two trapped North Sea divers, a feat for which he was awarded the Queens commendation for brave conduct. As documented in the accompanying copy of “Forward” dated February 1981 detailing the Stena Seaspread accident, the rescue took place in January 1981, when the diving bell from the Stena Seaspread was stricken at a depth of 400ft, its umbilical line severed, and two divers relying on emergency life support.

Putnam was the diver to reach the stranded bell and the decision to make a “through water rescue” was taken, the world’s first to be conducted at depth, with the “wet transfer” successfully conducted under extreme conditions of icy cold, and strong currents. The present watch was engraved and presented to Mr Putnam to commemorate the rescue and his Royal commendation, although Joe Putnam Junior notes with amusement a common misspelling of the family name on the case back. Continuing to use his COMEX branded issue watch for work, the present watch has been well cared for in the intervening years, retaining its original MK III dial, with beautifully patinated Tritium lume, a thick, crisp case that shows no sign of heavy wear or polishing and its dedication remains deeply engraved for posterity.

Making its debut in 1980, the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 was the successor to the iconic ref. 1675 that was in production since 1959. While most examples of the new reference featured a glossy black dial with white gold luminous filled indexes, early examples of the reference featured a matte black dial like the ref. 1675. Though its general aesthetics are very much retained, the ref. 16750 boasts the new cal. 3075 running at 28,800 bph compared to its previous 19,800 bph. Furthermore, it was updated with a practical quick-set date function. Its water resistance was also further enhanced doubling its previous depth rating from 50 meters to 100 meters. The reference was discontinued in 1988.

The present example Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 with a 6.6 million serial from circa 1981 is of the early iteration featuring a matte black dial. Offered in attractive overall condition and complete with its original guarantee and presentation box, it is perhaps the vintage appeal combined with its practical functioning that collectors adore about the ref. 16750.

The Double Red Sea Dweller is a classic, and there is good reason why almost every vintage Rolex collector winds up with an example in their stash eventually — these are eye-catching, enduring and professionally competent tool watches. Of all the dial configurations seen on the reference 1665, Mark II in particular has captured the attention of vintage Rolex aficionados from around the world. There are several characteristics that make the “Mark II” so widely revered and coveted. Firstly, the most apparent characteristic of this dial is the crisp and well-defined print of the lines “Sea-Dweller, Submariner 2000” in bright red. The font is also smaller on the second line. As seen on the present example, the dial occasionally changed color from a matt black to a gorgeous tone of light brown or chocolate color, otherwise known as a “tropical” dial.

This Double Red Sea Dweller is in excellent condition for its age, and was obviously well cared for by its original owner. The dial has metamorphosed into an incredible color of dark brown, giving it the look that all vintage Rolex collectors are after. The watch is in great condition, with the original punched guarantee, box and hang tags still retained. Most intriguingly, the watch was originally sold at Orologeria Svizzera — a widely celebrated watch retailer owned by the Panerai family, of which the first shop was opened up by Giovanni Panerai in Florence, Italy in 1860. Throughout the years, Orologeria Svizzera has been offering some of the best Swiss watch brands, including timepieces from Rolex and other top-tier manufacturers.

At the beginning of the 1960s,

released two transitional models of the famed Cosmograph Daytona via the refs. 6262 and 6264 replacing the ref. 6239 and 6241. The two transitional references would become the two last Daytona references to feature pump-style pushers. Whilst the ref. 6264 featured a black bezel insert like the ref. 6241, the ref. 6262 featured a metallic bezel like the ref. 6239. Both references featured the upgraded cal. 727.

The present example Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 6262 from circa 1970 with a 2.5 million serial is a stunning sight. Not only is it presented in an overall attractive condition, it also features a rare dial with “tropical” registers that have aged over the decades to achieve the present appealing vintage vibe.

steel chronograph wristwatch

As one of the first sponsors of motor races, such as “24 Hours at Daytona”,

has been passionately involved in the world of automobiles since 1959. After four successful years of profound research, the Swiss manufacturer launched their emblematic chronograph in 1963. The Cosmograph Daytona was named in tribute to the home of the famed tournaments that takes place on the eponymous Floridian beach.

The ref. 6263 was conceived in 1969. Boasting a distinct and exotic dial, also known as the “Paul Newman”, this rare breed of Rolex Daytonas are arguably one of the most sought-after vintage chronographs among the Rolex circles. Named after a man of many talents, and most importantly, an avid competitive racer, the dial was designed with registers that display distinctly squared indexes and visibly bold Art Deco numerals that optimises the dial’s legibility for racers. A rare sight to behold, the Paul Newman ref. 6263 usually either features a “Oyster Sotto” dial formed by a the black background, white registers and red outer track trinity, or a “Panda” dial. The nickname “Panda” was coined by the collectors thanks to its unmistakable monochromatic complexion. Sporting a white dial and black sub-registers, this holy grail wristwatch evidently resembles the attractive, rare and protected animal. Much like artists born ahead of their time, the present reference was only produced in limited quantities as they had yet to enjoy the popularity they have now conjured, back in the 70s. Many retailers had Paul Newmans sitting in stock years beyond its production and as such, the model is far rarer in comparison to its non-Paul Newman siblings.

The Daytona ref. 6263 at hand features a highly desirable MK II dial, flaunting the coveted sharp serifs of the “Oyster Cosmograph” line and is complete by a patinated outer track that has aged beautifully through the ravages of time. Interestingly, while the ref. 6263 is engraved between the lugs, the ref. 6262 is inscribed on the case back which was usual at the time.

Offered in an excellent overall condition, the present example is coupled by a pair of MK I screw-down push buttons and is further paired with a black plastic bezel. Discontinued in 1987, the opportunity to capture one of these distinct watches is as rare as the pandas itself. Not only is the present timepiece is a collector’s dream, but is also a true testament of time, and will certainly make the strongest of impressions.

Released in the early 1980s, the Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 3800 was the first evolutional Nautilus model featuring a case size of 37.5mm diameter ultimately being the mid-sized variant of the important model. While smaller in size, the Nautilus reference 3800 maintained all the design cues of its “bigger” brother, with its porthole inspired case and integrated metal bracelet - offering a mid-size proposal to those who did not fully appreciate the larger case of the Jumbo. The most important evolution between ref. 3700 and 3800 is the addition of a center seconds hand indicating a mechanical upgrade with the adoption of the Patek Philippe caliber 330SC and variants.

Over the course of its production ending in 2006, the reference was the most fruitful Nautilus model offering collectors a wide array of materials and dial options, making it one of the most interesting Nautilus references to collect. While it is indeed that some examples and variants are rarer than others, platinum examples of the references are considered one of the rarest.

The present example from the last of its series in platinum is further adorned with a diamond-set bezel and a classic blue ribbed dial set with diamond indexes. Complete with its original certificate and presentation box, this is a rare and delightful opportunity for collectors seeking for the rare and illusive platinum ref. 3800.

Unveiled admits the heights of the quartz crisis in 1981, the Patek Philippe ref. 4700 is the smallest Nautilus ever produced by the firm with a case that measures only 26mm in diameter. The early 1980s was a pivital moment for the watch industry as manufacturers had to choose between fully integrating into catering towards the fashion and trends of the 20th century, or to stand their ground in preserving traditional Swiss watchmaking. Patek Philippe made a bold statement by firmly sticking to their roots as traditional watchmakers from the 19th century while embracing the new quartz technology without letting it override their heritage. By doing so, Patek Philippe retained their production strategy driven by mechanical timepieces as well as introducing quartz models at the same time. The ref. 4700 was among one of the models that bore a quartz cal. E19C.

The Patek Philippe lady’s Nautilus ref. 4700 enjoyed a successful 23-year production run, offered in an array of different iterations and was eventually discontinued in 2004. The present example in stainless steel with an ashen gray ribbed dial is truly a classic. Offered in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of use and wear, this is truly the perfect everyday timepiece for the discerned lady collector today. With a new wave of young male enthusiasts braving smaller wristwatches, this piece can potentially be a great essential for a style-conscious modern gentlemen.

Delicate and divine, coin watches were highly coveted among the upper crust of society at the turn of the 20th century. A studied art form, the technique to place an ultra-thin movement hinged between two halves of a coin was developed by the salesman-turned-watchmaker, Joseph Vergely, who made his name at Cartier for exhibiting a special talent in moulding watches into charming novelty forms. This complex watchmaking process requires rigorous skills beyond the expertise normally needed of a case maker. Names such as Cartier, Patek Philippe, Piaget, Audemars Piguet, and Rolex are among the most prominent makers of coin watches.

Although Rolex is most recognised for its robust sports watches, its catalogue is incredibly varied, and even includes a small collection of coin watches that are very rare and hardly ever appear on the market. The present ref. 3612 is a dainty timepiece, encased in a yellow gold twenty US dollar coin from 1900. The present example truly encapsulates the essence of the Rolex Cellini line with no intricate detail left unattended. Featuring a seamless button that reveals its dial with a single touch, the walls concealed within the watch are manually decorated with perlage finishes. Devoted to Benvenuto Cellini, a master goldsmith of the 16th century, the Cellini collection very much takes after his dedication to methods of engraving, casting metal and perfecting even the most minute details.

Offered in excellent overall condition, this is a rare collectable that will be a fantastic addition for both watches and coins collcetors.

The Intricate Art of Sertissage

Sertissage, or gem-setting in French, harkens back to the very first bejewelled wristwatch made for the Queen of Naples created by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1810. Over the centuries, watchmakers and brands have continued to develop the intricate craft to exhibit the endless designs of timepieces endowed with precious gems. While many collectors today appreciate bedazzled timepieces, the intricate craft that lies behind every gem-set piece is often overlooked. While watchmaking is its own delicate form of art, it is perhaps the combination of natural gems and mechanical perfection that brings a unique sense of harmony when combined, usually resulting in what we invoke as masterpieces. The journey begins with the watchmaker, gemmologist and the gem-setter to design and envision the finished masterpiece. Throughout this process, every single precise measurement of the design process must be perfect. One miscalculation can often result to starting the entire painstaking process from scratch.

The quality of each individual gemstone from cut, clarity, carat and colour must be examined by the experienced eye of the gemmologist. Meanwhile, the gem-setter is responsible for preparing the components on the wristwatch to be set individually by hand, first by sculpting the cavities with a graver for each stone to be set upon. This process is usually repeated numerous times in order to minimize any unnecessary gaps between each setting. While each precious gem is individually cut, established firms such as Rolex tolerates variances of no more than 2 hundredths of a millimetre, which is around a quarter of the diameter of a human hair. Once each stone is placed on its individual ‘seat’, the gem-setter, depending on the method of the setting, secures each stone by its surrounding metal. While the setting requires immense precision, it is the tremendous skill and experience of the setter that brings out the utmost brilliance and ‘fire’ of each gemstone they way in which light penetrates the stone reflected on the underside of the setting. There are various types of gem-setting that can be seen on timepieces to enhance the beauty of the gemstones depending on its cut, carat and design.

Bezel Setting

The oldest form of gem-setting, it features a very specific method of securing a gemstone in place by wrapping the edges of a gemstone with what is referred as a ‘collar’. In some ways, it is considered as the most secured method to secure a gemstone, however it minimizes the exposure of light to the gemstone. This method can still be seen on some wristwatches with a gem-set crown, or in some cases the bezel. (See lot 1022)

Claw Setting

This method of setting features curved metal prongs that are used to hold the stones in place that are commonly seen in crafting jewellery pieces. Used in timepieces as well, the method is not commonly seen today as it reveals plenty of metals that watchmakers tend to avoid. (See lot 1032)

Pavé Setting

Regarded as the most utilized method of setting in timepieces, the method requires the gem-setter to create the cavity directly on the metal of the case or the dial of the watch, therefore a precise calculation of how much metal to be used on a case is highly essential before the setting process. The setter creates a series of holes on the case or dial and creating small beads using the excess metal that holds the stones in place. Each stone must be identical in its size and cut and each row must be perfectly aligned. Minimizing the metal shown, the pavé setting is favoured by most watchmakers. (See lot 1030)

Invisible Setting

Originally invented by Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1930s, the invisible setting is also known as the “mystery setting”. Taking a completely different approach to the methods listed above, the invisible setting on timepieces often requires the stones to be specifically cut, with a groove on the back of each stone, which is then secured on a metal rail. The result is a seamless display of the gemstones with no prongs visible. The method can be used for both brilliant-cut and baguette-cut gemstones. (See lot 1029)

With that said, gem-setting on timepieces is truly and utterly an art on its own. The level of craftsmanship, precision and quality of the gems, each play an important factor to the final appeal of the masterpiece. PHILLIPS in Association with Bacs & Russo proudly presents a curated selection of bedazzled timepieces offered at the Hong Kong Watch Auction: XV offering a wide array of selection featuring various intricate styles of the art of gem-setting.

Gaining significant interest among collectors in recent times, the Rolex DayDate is adored by many as it has remained an iconic timepiece since its initial release in 1956. Witnessed on the wrists of presidents and important figures, the Day-Date also offers collectors with a wide array of variations with differing metals and dial materials.

The present example Rolex Day-Date ref. 18239 from circa 1990 with an “E” serial is a wonderful specimen of the reference featuring an unpolished case with sharp edges. Furthermore, paired beautifully with a matching sunburst silver dial adorned with diamond-set indexes, this subtle yet classy example is perfect for any occasion.

First introduced in 1988, the Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 belongs to the twotone stainless steel and yellow gold version of the 16600 series. Featuring an upgraded cal. 3135, most collectors have come to conclusion that it was perhaps one of the best produced Rolex movements. Considered as one of the last true Submariner with a vintage appeal before the introduction of the maxi-style case, collectors believe the 16600 series to be a one of the most desirable. Offered with variants such as black dial with a black insert, blue dial with blue insert and examples featuring gem-set indexes referred to as serti dials, the reference was discontinued in 2009.

The present example Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 from circa 2007 featuring a blue bezel insert and a grey serti dial with diamond and sapphire-set indexes is a beautiful iteration of the reference. Offered in attractive overall condition and complete with its full

and ruby-set indexes

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is with no doubt an iconic timepiece and has been regarded by collectors as the must have chronograph wristwatch for all purposes due to its robustness and timeless appeal. While most of the attention has been with examples cased in stainless steel, over the years rare examples in gold cases featured vibrant gem-set dials and indexes combining practicality and luxury in a single case.

In 1988 Rolex thrilled the public at the Basel Fair by introducing the first self-winding chronograph model in its history. The newly launched reference 16520 was powered by a derivative of Zenith’s El Primero caliber, though substantially modified by Rolex.

The present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16519 belongs to a rare variant cased in white gold with a bedazzled pavé diamond-set dial and ruby-set indexes. The reference also featured examples set with sapphire indexes and emerald-set indexes for yellow gold examples. These rare and sparkly dials have become increasing popular among collectors today due to its rarity and flamboyant appeal while bearing the same performance as its stainless steel counterparts.

Offered in attractive overall condition with a flawless and original dial, the present Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 16519 from circa 1999 with an “A” serial belongs to one of the last examples before the reference was entirely discontinued making way for the ref. 116519. Recently serviced by Rolex, the present timepiece is a stunning example of the beautiful reference.

Adored by collectors due to its diverse spectrum of vibrant colours offered, the Rolex Stella Day-Date offers a fun and contemporary appeal to the firm’s robust luxury President’s model. Derived originally from a company by the name of Stella based in Châtelaine and Geneva, the company was responsible for supplying Rolex with a special type of lacquer used in these rare and exotic dials.

Released in 1978, the Day-Date ref. 18038 was the successor to the iconic ref. 1803 featuring for the first time a robust sapphire crystal replacing the former Plexiglas. Another practical upgrade was the introduction of a quickset function for the date through its new cal. 3055. The reference is also one of which where these rare and exotic Stella dials were fitted upon.

The present example Rolex Day-Date ref. 18038 from circa 1988 with an “R” serial features a wonderfully paired brown degrade Stella dial where the exotic brown hue intensifies towards the edge of the dial.

Offered with its full set of accessories and in attractive overall condition, the present example is surely a nice piece to wear casually on the weekend.

ref. 18238 from circa 1993 features a superbly rare black onyx dial with diamond-set indexes. While Day-Date’s featuring hardstone dials are already a notch more desirable than regular examples, it is rare to find the perfect combination. The onyx variants, not only is it rare but arguably one of the most desirable combinations ever produced by Rolex. Featuring a glossy appearance, the black background is the perfect contrast against any metal, especially yellow gold. Set with 10 brilliant-cut diamonds on applied yellow gold mounting, all the small details play a role to execute the perfect aesthetic from its gold day and date windows to its gilt text. Incredibly handsome, the present ref. 18238 with an onyx dial is the considered by many collectors as the perfect Day-Date.

Daniel Roth, one of the first watchmakers to become an independent after a triumphant career in the industry, is regarded as one of the greatest, if not the best, among his peers. Having been instrumental in shaping companies like Breguet, Jaeger LeCoultre and even Audemars Piguet, he established the Daniel Roth brand in 1989 and enjoyed much recognition for breaking the mould of conventional haute horology. 1995 marked the year Roth turned half-a-century old. To celebrate this momentous milestone, the legend released a 50-piece limited edition, Le Sentier Sport. This sporty dress watch is notorious for its “Salmon dial”, fitted in a signature symmetric case, later defined as the “ellipsocurvex”, made of stainless steel. The dial is manually executed with a guilloche finish, complemented by blued hands and Roman numerals in the same hue, further highlighted by a brush-finished fan-shaped plate. Fusing form and function, this clean and legible canvas is topped

with a date aperture at 6 o’clock that also enhances its practicality. Despite not being powered by an in-house movement, the sapphire caseback reveals a Daniel Roth cal. 157, which essentially is a modified and hand-finished Frederic Piguet automatic movement, known as cal. 951. The present example also bears a special oscillating weight, decorated with a not-so-subtle inscription of “Daniel Roth”, “50th Birthday” with its limited edition number “08” out of “50”. Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, the present example is accompanied by a Daniel Roth signed letter confirming that it is indeed numbered 8 of 50 pieces. Combining its highly desired “Salmon dial” and what the watch commemorates, the opportunity to acquire a Le Sentier Sport 50th Birthday Limited Edition is, without a doubt, as rare as the timepiece itself.

Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823) was a game changing watchmaker whose influence in horology has endured for centuries, having created so many watchmaking innovations still in use in the present day. These include the “perpétuelle” or self-winding watches, “parechute” shock protection, gongbased minute repeaters, and the tourbillon. In his prime, he was an honoured master, a man of influence, who mingled with the European monarchies, the upper crust of elites in the sciences, military, and diplomats. His creativity and ingenuity are still a vital and driving force in the modern Breguet firm today, and their Hora Mundi World-Time wristwatch is a stellar example of the technical mastery the brand strives to achieve.

The Hora Mundi retains the distinct design DNA of Breguet watches, while incorporating 21st century movement and dial innovations. As per most Breguet creations, the dial on the present timepiece is a visual perpetual dream, beautifully adorned with hand-finished guilloche patterns and encased in pink gold. The present dial features an elegant silvered dial with a Clous de Paris guilloche center, a brush-finished chapter ring with Roman numerals, an oversized date aperture at 12 o’clock and a window at 6 o’clock displaying the 24 world cities. Further equipped with an AM/PM indicator at 4 o’clock, 7am to 6pm is indicated via a Flinqué pattern that takes after a scenic sunrise view, while 7pm to 6am is indicated by a Fish Scale pattern that resembles the sun setting on the ocean horizon.

The skills and details portrayed on this exquisite dial is second to none, and its movement is equally innovative. The watch has the ability to keep track of two time zones and quickly toggles between the two with the button at 8 o’clock. In addition to changing the time, the AM/PM indication and date are automatically adjusted as well. The sapphire caseback invites its wearer to admire the highly embellished movement that is as technically sound as it is a sight to behold.

The present pink gold Breguet Hora Mundi is fresh-to-the-market and is offered in excellent overall condition complete with its certificate and presentation box. Furthermore, PHILLIPS is proud to present this model for the first time and will be a welcome addition for any collector.

Extruding charm from the Art Deco era, the present Mauboussin wristwatch sized in 34mm is small yet wears with great wrist presence. Thanks to the white gold stepped bezel that adds an incredible touch of personality to the timepiece, the exposed semi-skeletonized dial against a chic black canvas is refined with a large applied Arabic numeral at 12. A harmonious design through and through, the model was conceived during the 2000s, just before Richard Mille left the French jewellery house Mauboussin to begin his grandeur vision of building a brand under his name, Richard Mille. One of the limited edition models created by Mille during that time notably carries the same DNA was the Mauboussin Tourbillon with lapis lazuli dial. Preserved in excellent overall condition the present timepiece suits incredibly with a black attire.

The present Gerald Genta is an elegant iteration of the firm’s tourbillon cased in their iconic octagonal-shaped case is a hidden gem from the 1990s. Dressed in yellow gold, it features cylindrical lugs that gives a classic appeal to the present timepiece. With cylindrical blocks followed through the design of its original strap, the feature makes it instantly recognizable. Paired wonderfully with a white porcelain dial with painted radial Roman numerals, a one-minute tourbillon escapement is proudly displayed at the 6 o’clock position. Once turned, the sapphire display caseback reveals an impressive hand-engraved movement composed on 18K gold and the firm’s signature self-winding rotor. Numbered 55 on its caseband and preserved in attractive overall condition, this present example is one for the many Genta collectors.

Born in 1972, the Royal Oak was truly a revolutionary movement into an new ear of luxury sports watch. Debuted with the first ever Royal Oak reference 5402 in a stainless steel cased at 39mm, also known as the “Jumbo”, the famous Gerald Genta design mastered the ratio perfectly thanks to the ultra-slim movement caliber 2121, the rest is history. With the success and demand of this ground-breaking design, it did not take long for the Royal Oak to expand its offerings for its growing clientele. During the mid 1970s, Audemars Piguet introduced the 5402BA in solid gold and 5402SA with a two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold appearance, the present example is one of such. A fantastic combination with the robustness of steel and the richness of the yellow metal, the ref. 5402SA features a matching gold date wheel that perfectly complements the warm grey dial. According to scholars, approximately 951 examples of the two-tone reference were made, the present example is numbered 584 on its caseback.

With a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Oak this very year, the present two-tone ref. 5402SA with incredible vintage aesthetics synonymous to the period is a perfect daily watch for the discerned collector.

Made for the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak, reference 14802 was made in 1000 examples in yellow gold as a tribute to the original Royal Oak model. With a case of 39 millimeters, it was a faithful homage to the original reference 5402BA, with the biggest change being the sapphire case back which shows the movement and rotor engraved to commemorate this special edition.

The present watch is notable for its extraordinary condition - the case has never seen polishing in its lifetime and all hallmarks remain crisp and visible. It is our understanding that the first owner in Japan had worn it sparingly before he decided to part with the watch.

He had preserved all the original accessories such as the original certificate, and even the original Royal Oak Jubilee box numbered 497. The timepiece is even accompanied by its original hang tag stating it was sold for 3,490,000 Japanese Yen, an Extract from the Archives further confirms that the watch was born in 1994. Already an incredibly rare model, the timepiece is even more remarkable due to its state of preservation. With this year’s celebration of the Royal Oak 50th Anniversary, “Jubilee” pieces will only become more and more collectible over time, representing another milestone moment in the storied history of the Royal Oak model.

Launched in 1951, reference 2508 was Patek Philippe’s first time-only model to have a waterproof Calatrava case. Boasting a 35mm case, the watch was intended for a more intensive and professional use than the usual Patek Philippe dress watch, featuring a screw-down case back, enabling the watch to be water-resistant - a feature found in a small minority of the vintage Patek Philippe production. Reference 2508 most notably features center seconds thanks to calibre 27SC (SC for Secondes au Centre), unarguably one of the most appreciated vintages manually-wound centre seconds calibers made by any manufacturer.

The present example is fresh-to-the-market and was treated with utmost care throughout its entire life, with the case and dial still in their original splendour. Fitted with a rare and desirable Gay Frères yellow gold bracelet is an additional layer of appeal for this beautifully preserved example that will please connoisseurs of fine timepieces.

Conceived in 1938, the Patek Philippe ref. 570 is arguably one of the most significant references from the Calatrava family, a true horological symbol. Drawing from the ref. 96, the present reference pays homage to its older sibling with a contemporary twist by sporting an enlarged case that measures 35mm in diameter, which is a more impressive size compared to the 31mm case of the earliest Calatrava.

The ref. 570 had enjoyed a successful production run of 30 consecutive years and still very much appeals to the modern gentry today. Launched in series, the firm introduced two variants including one with small seconds and another with center seconds. Later examples produced after 1950 featured the firm’s upgraded cal. 27 SC and are dubbed as the second series.

The present Patek Philippe ref. 570 the epitome of understated elegance, fitted in a beautifully balanced yellow gold case that perfectly frames its silvered dial. Topped with center seconds and a short signature, the timepiece at hand is part of the second series, powered by the reliable cal. 27 SC. Offered in an attractive and well-preserved state, the case boasts two hallmarks that are deep and legible.

very fine and rare pink gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with moon phases

Perpetual calendar wristwatches are among collector’s grail especially when it is signed Patek Philippe. First released in 1941, the Patek Philippe ref. 1526 was at the time a world premiere being the first serially produced perpetual calendar wristwatch by any manufacturer. Marking an important milestone for the watch industry and firm, the reference set the design language for traditional perpetual calendar wristwatches for years to come. The reference was discontinued in 1952 after an 11-year production span making way for the coveted ref. 2497.

Cased in a classic 34mm diameter Calatrava-style case with elegantly shaped lugs and the firm’s iconic concaved bezel, the appeal is simply a timeless design with subtle traits that are still repeated in Patek Philippe wristwatches of today. Paired with an elegant silver dial with applied gold hour markers matching the tone of the case with a perfectly symmetrical layout with the day and month indication below 12 o’clock and its date and moon phases positioned at 6 o’clock, it houses the cal. 12”’120 Q that calculates the length of each month throughout the year whilst also accounting for leap years.

Over the 11 years ref. 1526 was in production, only 210 pieces were ever made, the large majority in yellow gold, an extremely low number in pink gold and only one in steel known to date. Extremely rare, only a handful of pink gold examples have resurfaced in public since its release. Early examples of the reference featured two circles around the moon phases with later examples featuring only one.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 1526 manufactured in 1951 belongs to a later generation of the reference in the elusive and rare pink gold case. Offered in attractive overall condition it features a dial with its raised enamel signature intact. The case boasts two hallmarks that remains clear and intact positioned on the caseband and beneath the top left lug. Delivered with two Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its date of manufacture in 1951 and its raised pink gold hour markers matching its pink gold case, this milestone piece and the world’s very first is a rare example for collectors of fine vintage timepieces to add to their collection.

The 1930s was an important era for horology as post 1920s crisis witnessed a surge in the production of wristwatches and a heightened demand for chronographs. In 1932, Patek Philippe was acquired by Jean & Charles Stern Company and in the same year the firm launched their very first serially produced wristwatch via the Calatrava ref. 96. In 1934, Patek Philippe released their very first referenced chronograph wristwatches named “13 501”, two years later they were renamed as the ref. 130.

Early examples of the reference were mono-pusher chronographs and were powered by Victorin Piguet based caliber. In 1936, the firm switched to a Valjoux-based cal. 13-130, with each movement hand finished with Geneva stripes by the most skilled watchmakers at the time. While gold cases were made by master case-maker Vichet featuring slightly more elongated lugs, stainless steel cases were made by three different case-makers including Wenger, Georges Croisier and others by Dubois.

It is estimated that only 270 examples in stainless steel as well as small amounts in two tone stainless steel and gold examples were produced between 1937 to 1951.

First series (1937 – 1942): Estimated 125 cases produced by Geneva-based case-maker Georges Croisier. Serial 504’XXX (lug width 18mm), serial 505’XXX (lug width up to 20mm), serial 505’7XX onwards feature pinholes on the side of the lugs.

Second series (1942 – 1944): Estimated 135 cases produced by Le Locle-based case-maker Dubois.

Third series (1950 – 1951): Estimated two dozen cases produced by Genevabased case-maker Wenger. No pin holes on the side of the lugs.

The present example belongs to one of the rarer variants of the coveted Patek Philippe ref. 130 from 1941 belonging to the first series with a 505’7XX serial stamped inside the caseback. Featuring a rare and desirable “salmon” dial with applied pink gold dotted indexes and Roman numerals, the present example is also fitted with a yellow gold crown making this unusual two tone variant very rare. Furthermore inside the caseback it is stamped “4”, meaning that the present timepiece was the 4th example from the batch. With a combination of condition, rarity and importance, the present ref. 130 is further accompanied by an Extract from the Archives issued by Patek Philippe confirming the date of production of the present timepiece in 1941 with a satin-finished rose dial and raised pink gold hour markers and its subsequent date of sale on 5th March 1942.

In 1993, Patek Philippe released the perpetual calendar references 5050 and 5059. For the first time ever, Patek Philippe combined a self-winding perpetual calendar movement with center seconds. Furthermore, the ref. 5050 featured retrograde dates, which was hardly ever seen on a Patek Philippe wristwatch prior to the ref. 5050. Featuring a 35mm Calatrava style case, it was made by master casemaker Favre-Perret. The reference was made available in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, and combined it is estimated that over 1,000 examples were produced until the reference was discontinued in 2002.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5050 in yellow gold from 1994 belongs to an early example of the reference. Fitted with an opaline dial with applied yellow gold lapidated indexes, it is complete with its full set of accessories including its additional solid caseback. Delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present timepiece in its exact configuration as offered, the ref. 5050 is considered by many collectors as one of the most undervalued perpetual calendar references.

No longer in production, the Patek Philippe ref. 5960 was first launched in 2006 as the firm’s exciting inaugural attempt to deliver a fully in-house self-winding chronograph. On top of that, the Swiss manufacturer surprised collectors by merging an annual calendar function into the already complicated timepiece, resulting in a watch that nobody expected, but everyone desperately needed. Originally launched as a grey-dialled platinum sports watch, the reference was released in a few other precious metals such as pink and white gold. In 2014, the firm released a stainless steel variant offering the firm’s signature rice bead bracelet fitted with a warm white dial with strong black accents, giving the reference a refreshed contemporary appeal.

Framed in a stainless steel case, the black-dialled ref. 5690/1A-010 is among the most coveted models that unveiled in 2017, thanks to its short-lived oneyear production and modern athletic aesthetic. With an irresistible design boasting distinct Patek Philippe proportions, the dial is highly legible as it optimizes a “bull’s eye” register that unifies the three traditionally separated calendar counters into one fan-shaped formation. Fusing form and function, the watch is complete with a power reserve indicator above the firm’s signature and a chronograph sub-dial with day/night indication.

The sapphire caseback invites the wearer to admire the Patek Philippe in-house calibre CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H. Assembled by 456 different components, this is a compact and competent movement, tailored to seamlessly power the Annual Calendar Chronograph watch.

Pivoting away from iconic dress watches, the ultra-sporty stainless steel. 5690/1A-010 is a progressive Patek Philippe example, born ready for action. Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its original accessories, the present timepiece is the perfect everyday utility dedicated to the modern collectors.

Marking a new and important era for Patek Philippe, the firm introduced the ref. 5170 in 2010 bearing the manufacturer’s very first in-house chronograph movement cal. CH 29-535 PS replacing the former ref. 5070 with a Lemaniabased movement. The reference was also one of the very first to bear the newly incorporated Patek Philippe seal marking an end to the Geneva seal era.

Featuring a classic Calatrava-style case, it differs from the ref. 5070 with a larger 42mm diameter case inspired by the unique ref. 2512 from the early 1950s. Instead, it features a friendly 39.4mm diameter case that was first released in yellow gold. The reference introduced various examples over the course of its production when it was discontinued in 2019.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5170G-010 features a handsome black dial with extremely desirable applied white gold Breguet numerals. From circa 2016, consigned by the original owner and kept in brand new unopened double factory seal condition and complete with its full set of accessories, this specimen of a discontinued reference is a keeper for any lovers of chronograph wristwatches by Patek Philippe.

Designed by Louis Cartier in 1917, the Tank became commercially sold from 1919, in very limited quantities. The Tank Cintrée was then launched two years after, building upon the design language of the original. With its distinct DNA and Cartier’s perennial style, the reference’s elegant curves and elongated silhouette became an instant classic. Earlier examples of the Tank Cintrée were made in small numbers, and well-preserved specimens in original condition rarely surface on the market, making them as elusive, as they are enticing.

In 1998, the “Collection Privée, Cartier Paris” was launched in honour the most iconic Cartier timepieces over its decorated heritage. Including models such as the Santos, Tortue and Tank, this is one of the most exclusive and wellreceived limited edition series assembled by the Maison. The present Tank was released in 2004 from this line of highly coveted and rare watches. The Cintrée is both slightly thinner and longer the larger Américaine. With curves that hug the contours of the wrist, the present timepiece serves as a tasteful dress watch, fitting comfortably beneath the cuff. Encased in platinum and limited to only 50 pieces, the ref. 2843 stands out from its peers as it is the only model from the CPCP collection that does not feature “Paris” on its dial. Unlike its predecessor, the re-issued Tank Cintrée features a warm white dial with animated Arabic numerals in black, instead of Roman numerals.

Sublime and in line with the firm’s heritage, the contemporary Tank Cintrée is one that is adored by many due to its timeless flare and clean aesthetic. Preserved in excellent overall condition and the present example numbered 4 out of the 50-piece limited edition. Without a doubt, this is a rare opportunity for Cartier collectors to add to their fine collection.

The Cloche de Cartier is, undeniably, an odd one. If the name does not ring a bell, have a look again. Straight forward enough, the word “cloche” translates to “bell” and evidently, this model’s name is derived from the fact that the watch resembles one resting on its side. Exuding an exotic charm, the Roman numerals on the dial are adjusted 90° clockwise from their habitual stance, with the 12 o’clock index sitting where 3 o’clock usually does, next to the crown. If one is accustomed to telling time off traditional analogue wristwatches, this may require some time to adapt to. According to the Maison, this unusual configuration may seem strange because it was originally intended for a brooch watch, rather than a wristwatch. Often worn fastened to a garment, the brooch watch would be oriented upside down with 12 at the bottom, so that the wearer can easily read the time with the numbers in the correct position when tilted upwards. This quirky design was first introduced as a wristwatch in 1921. Due to its unconventional display of time, it has appeared more sporadically than other Cartier classics. Paying homage to this century old model, the Cloche de Cartier was revived in 2021 as a 100-piece limited edition in the Privé Collection, following the re-issue of the two equally bizarre and iconic watches, the Asymetrique and the Crash. Despite its insubordination to

basic horological principles, the watch was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm by the modern day collectors. Irrationally attractive, the present example is encased in pink gold, boasting a delicious grey dial with a white minute track, further complimented by Roman numerals and hands that matches the tone of its frame. A cognitive subversion of time, the watch very much falls in line with the distinct design codes of Cartier, featuring a beautifully balanced dial and a sapphire cabochon crown. Numbered 6 of a 100 pieces, this timepiece is offered at Phillips for the first time in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. Designed to turn heads, the Cloche is certainly destined to grace the wrists of connoisseurs in search something outshines the ordinary.

Famous for creating some of the most magnificent, bold and important designs of jewellery since its beginnings, the story of the panther was first envisioned in 1914 when Louis Cartier created an invitation for a Jewellery exhibition featuring a lady with a panther executed by George Barbier. In the same year, Cartier released their very first lady’s wristwatch featuring onyx panther patterns and diamond-setting. Since then, it has become and iconic motif of Cartier witnessed in the collection of a wide array of royalties. Today, it has become an important collection of its own deeply rooted with the firm’s heritage and success.

In the early 1800s, French magician and clockmaker Jean Eugene RobertHoudin created the world’s first mystery clock. In 1912, Cartier released their very first example dubbed as the Model A similarly featuring a totally transparent dial with only two hands for hours and minutes. A state of the art innovation and a triumph to haute horology, the mystery clocks have also become an icon of the Parisian House of Luxury.

The present timepiece is a masterpiece of its own. Combining two iconic features of Cartier, the firm released the exceptional lady’s wristwatch in 2016 called the Panthère Mystérieuse. Composed of 18K white gold and black lacquer, the watch features a design where the bedazzled panther motif is morphed into the construction of the case whilst featuring an off-centered mystery dial. Extremely eye catching and combined with excellence in craftsmanship, the present lady’s wristwatch is a red carpet delight. Offered in attractive overall condition and complete with its full set off accessories, this gem of a timepiece will surely impress any lady collector of fine high jewellery timepieces.

First developed in 2001, the Octa movement was F.P. Journe’s first selfwinding movement with a power reserve of up to 120 hours. In 2002, the firm released their first Octa Réserve de Marche model, which became the firm’s very first self-winding wristwatch. The earliest examples of the model featured a 38mm diameter case and a movement composed of brass. After 2004, Journe disregarded the brass movements and started to fully integrate into creating 18K gold movements with a 22k gold rotor specific to the Octa series. For transitioning examples produced after 2004, the model was powered by the cal. 1300.2 indicating the second generation of the caliber, it is believed that only very few examples were produced.

The present example F.P. Journe Octa Réserve de Marche in pink gold with a silver dial from circa 2020 is of the latest example bearing the cal. 1300.3, signifying the present timepiece from the third generation similarly with an 18K gold movement and a 22K gold rotor with a case measuring 40mm diameter. Offered in excellent overall condition and complete with its original guarantee and presentation box, this handsome specimen is a great addition to any collection of fine timepieces.

After years of working on some of the finest watches from the last three centuries, Kari Voutilainen embarked on his own journey as an independent watchmaker in 2002. His work has been extremely well received among collectors and his peers in wake of his unique approach to traditional watchmaking with contemporary designs. Every element in his creations, from the smallest screws to the dial, involves meticulous craftsmanship, from polishing, angling to adjusting tolerances.

Recognised for his mastery in collection-grade timekeepers, Voutilainen has been granted over half a dozen awards by the most prestigious Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genéve. Building upon his time-only Vingt-8, the 217QRS model features an additional retrograde date indicator, tastefully integrated into the watch by its maker. Executed to the highest degree in both form and function, the collection is split into platinum, pink gold and white gold variants. Exceedingly rare, only 10 pieces in each case metal will ever be made.

Boasting a solid-silver dial in dark blue, the present 217QRS is hand-finished with three distinct guilloche patterns that plays with the light differently, adding depth to the canvas by portraying a combination of tones. Layered on top, the Breguet-styled hands and applied Arabic numerals standout from the background, which creates a sublime contrast to the arched retrograde date in the centre, with white numerals. This feature is seamlessly connected to the sub-seconds below, creating an organic sensation that harmonises the dial.

Encased in pink gold, the present case is finished with sculpted lugs and closed with a sapphire case back that invites the wearer to admire its in-house cal. 28. The range of patterns in its movement reveals both the watchmaker’s meticulous attention to detail and superlative craftsmanship.

The present example is quintessentially a Voutilainen through and through. Beautifully executed with divine proportions, this 217QRS is offered in excellent overall condition, accompanied by its original accessories. The chance to acquire the rare bird at hand is most certainly, not one to be missed.

The 21st century have witnessed a rapid rise for independent watch manufacturers, although no other brand has made a larger impact than Richard Mille. Since its establishment in 1999, the firm has been creating some of the most fascinating timepieces with their innovative approach to fusing ultra-modern cutting-edge materials with traditional Swiss high end watchmaking principles. Having established a cult-like following in recent times, Richard Mille timepieces are among the most sought after by collectors today.

In 2013, the firm released the RM39-01 featuring a bold oversized roundshaped case made in grade 5 titanium, which is commonly used in aircrafts and jets, featuring a dual time flyback chronograph complication with day and month indication. Aviation has always been an important element to Richard Mille and the RM39-01 was the firm’s creation to satisfy their expectations to create a chronograph as complex as possible that would meet the requirements of the most experienced pilots as a professional flight navigation instrument. However, the most defining feature on the watch is the E6-B slide rule which was first invented in the 1930s by Lieutenant Philip Dalton of the United States, requiring no power supply making it an extremely safe tool for pilots. Featuring a fixed bezel and a bi-directional rotating bezel marked with complex indications, it allows the wearer to track and calculate fuel consumption, ground speed, flight time, density altitude and wind influence all converted to their respective unit of measurement. Secured with an innovative locking crown, the component implemented prevents accidental activation of the chronograph eliminating risks of miscalculation.

The present example Richard Mille RM39-01 AN Ti from circa 2015 is offered with its original warranty and presentation box.

Like many classic designs, the Rolex Oyster has gradually evolved over the past decades while strongly adhering to its design DNA. Like many of its peers in the Rolex family, the Explorer has been a constant and a backbone of the brand since its conception in 1953. Released in 1955, the ref. 6610 was a new generation Explorer that replaced the original caliber A296 with an upgraded caliber 1030 and was much slimmer than its “bubble back” predecessors. A flatter case was designed to house the down-sized movement which became the standard for years to come.

Fully embracing the now-iconic Explorer aesthetic, the dial on the present watch reads “Officially Certified Chronometer”, in place of “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” as seen on ref. 1016 pieces. Featuring a classic black dial with an inverted triangle at 12 o’clock and Arabic numerals on the other three quarters, the present example certainly stands out for its desirable qualities of a 1955 Explorer with red depth ratings adds on to the desirability, Red-depth rating pieces are found between serial number 113’XXX to 114’XXX range based on research.

The galvanised dial with radium lumes, gilt lettering and minute track have also aged to perfection, through the ravages of time. Fitted with its original elongated Mercedes-pattern gilt hands, it is sufficient to say that this watch is has been well looked after for over six decades.

Boasting a winning combination of its rarity and excellent overall condition, the present Rolex Explorer ref. 6610 is a treat for all vintage Rolex sports watch enthusiasts.

In 1954, Rolex launched one of its most iconic models: the GMT-Master. The timepiece was initially developed in collaboration with Pan American Airlines as to enable their pilots to simultaneously keep track of two time zones when flying from one location to another. Fitted with an extremely fragile Bakelite bezel, reference 6542 was replaced in 1959 by reference 1675 fitted with a more robust metallic insert.

Taking over the throne, the ref. 1675 is arguably one of the most iconic ever produced by Rolex and praised by collectors still till this date. With a production spanning over 30 years, various iterations and upgrades to the reference were featured. Early examples of the reference were fitted with glossy black lacquer dials up until 1966 when Rolex introduced the matte dial variants. Though with that said, the early examples were also segmented into various series and types due to features of the dial and case.

The present Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 from circa 1960 with a 503’XXX serial belongs to the rare and elusive early iteration equipped with a chapter ring, pointed crown guards and a “SWISS” only dial. Spotting the difference between the present and latter is its rare “OCC” (Officially Chronometer Certified) designation dial that was transitioned over from the ref. 6542. Later examples featured the “SOCC” designation. Once the case is opened one can notice the “I.60” inscribed inside the caseback, which is a consistent trait found in early examples being the rare “OCC” designation.

Preserved in attractive condition boasting a crisp case with nice bevels and a beautifully aged dial with original lume plots, the present example is surely one to please lovers and collectors of important vintage Rolex timepieces.

In 1962, Rolex released one of their most important Submariner references, the 5513, which had one of the longest production spanning 27 years seized in 1989. The release would be one of the very first Submariner models that set the tone of the design language that is still in play today. At the beginning of its production, the reference featured glossy lacquered black dials with gilt texts with a “meters first” dial while later examples from 1970 onwards featured the more common “feet first” dial. With these glossy dials, Rolex only produced them for an estimated total of 4 years making these early ref. 5513s rare and highly desirable.

The present Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 with a 1.3 million serial from circa 1966 fitted with a “glossy” black lacquered “meters first” “SWISS-T<25” dial is one of the last iterations of the glossy dial before the transition to matte dials. Offered in attractive overall condition boasting a crisp case, clean insert and a nice dial with desirable lume plots, the present ref. 5513 is a nice example for vintage Rolex lovers to add to their collection.

and

The present example is a ref. 5513 from circa 1979, sporting a classic matte black “Maxi II” dial with the iconic painted tritium hour markers. Introduced in 1978, “Maxi II” dials are usually found in the 5 million to early 6 million serial cases, distinguished for the “SUBMARINER” line being printed above the depth rating on a matte dial. Other defining features of this dial variant include: the depth rating being longer than the line above topped with a lack of serif on the “f”, and that the “=” sign is directly aligned with the centre of the “A” in “SUBMARINER”. This dial is well-preserved in excellent condition with no significant flaws, complemented by tritium indexes that have developed a lovely warm patina, further delivered with a set of oxidised hands. The 40mm case has also been well looked after and its lugs remain thick and bevelled.

Combining the winning trifactor of its rarity, condition and guarantee, the present ref. 5513 is a highly collectable piece that will be a fantastic addition for any discerning collector of vintage Rolex watches.

Launched in 1967, reference 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date. As a tool watch, the majority were made in stainless steel, with the first examples displaying the depth rating in meters first followed by the equivalent in feet. Furthermore, these models featured the name of the model, Submariner in red, leading collectors to nickname the model “Red Submariner”.

However, the present watch was a little more than just an extremely performing tool watch; it was a wristwatch catering to active people who wanted an extra touch of luxury. Reference 1680 was the first Rolex dive watch to be cased in gold. The present lot with a yellow gold case and blue bezel perfectly complement the dial, which initially was blue but developed to a purple hue with time. The blue is still present on the periphery of the dial and subtly turns to a lighter purple closer to the center of the dial.

Overall in excellent condition and offered with an associated Rolex guarantee, the present watch is an extravagant version of the iconic Submariner.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

The Linz Paul Newman Ref. 6262

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is with no doubt one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced by any manufacturer and the history behind this superlative model is one of the most fascinating among collectors in the community. In the late 1960s, examples of the Cosmograph Daytona were fitted with an exotic dial that were made by Singer, a dial supplier of Rolex at the time. Featuring a unique set of typography and graphics, these dials were later nicknamed the “Paul Newman” after the famous actor was witnessed wearing a ref. 6239 with the illusive exotic dial.

While some examples of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Paul Newmans are rarer than others due to distinctive traits and production numbers, there are only a handful that can be considered by collectors as absolute grails, such as double signed pieces.

Established in 1877, Texas-based retailer Linz is a family business and was run and groomed by five brothers. The firm’s cofounder Joseph Linz retired in 1907, prompting the remaining family members to change the company name from Linz to Linz Brothers. The retailer’s logo features a unique typeface with the “N” printed backwards making them instantly recognizable.

and

Introduced towards the end of the 1960’s, the ref. 6262 was released together with its acrylic bezel peer ref. 6264. Considered as a transitional reference, with both models featuring yet pump pushers, they featured an upgraded cal. 727. The production of the reference seized around 1972, making way for two new references with upgraded screw-down pushers, ref. 6263 & 6265. It is estimated that throughout the 9 year production span of references featuring pump pushers, ref. 6239, 6241, 6262 & 6264, only 16,300 examples were produced with approximately 1,120 encased in yellow gold.

The present example ref. 6262 from circa 1970 with a 2.3 million serial displays an attractive “Panda” non-oyster Paul Newman dial that features the rare and highly desirable Linz signature printed below “COSMOGRAPH”. Fresh-tothe-market, the present example is a rare find that has never been offered to the public before making this a truly momentous event for the vintage watch collecting community. Extremely attractive, the dial has been preserved in excellent overall condition with a clean surface and uninterrupted luminous plots. To further enhance the originality of the timepiece it features all the correct components such as the original Twinlock 600 crown and pump pushers as well as a riveted Rolex Oyster bracelet with its clasp stamped “ROLEX USA” and “I-71”.

LOT OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE

First released in 1997, the Patek Philippe Travel Time ref. 4864 was the very first complicated lady’s wristwatch manufactured by the firm. Featuring a Calatrava style case made by Favre & Perret SA, it features an elegantly crafted coin-edged bezel that was quite unusual at the time. Measuring 29mm diameter, the case is further adorned by two pushers to the left side of the caseband tipped with cabochon gems to adjust the hour hand of the additional time zone. Powered by the cal. 215 PS FUS, it is essentially the same caliber as the ref. 5034, the men’s edition of the complication at the time. The reference was made in yellow gold, pink gold and white gold with matching Breguet numerals with some gem-set examples. The production of the reference was seized in 2005.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 4864 in yellow gold from circa 1998 is preserved in excellent overall condition and was probably worn no more than a handful of times throughout all these years. Complete with its Original Certificate of Origin, this chic and elegant Travel Time by Patek Philippe is the quintessential timepiece for lady jetsetters seeking for a classic and quality travel companion.

The world time complication has been particularly favoured by both watch collectors and travel enthusiasts. Since its release in the year 2000, the Patek Philippe ref. 5110 has enjoyed instant recognition for allowing its wearer to quickly identify the timezones of 24 different cities simultaneously. Beautifully proportioned, this reference is very attractive, boasting subtle yet intricate finishing touches on both its dial and its case. The multi-faceted dial is composed of two peripheral rotary discs, where the inner disc details the respective timezones of the cities listed on the outer ring. The present timepiece is a ref. 5110P, encased in platinum. A quiet giant, the case is measured at 37mm, featuring smooth straight lugs and is quintessentially a Calatrava through and through. New at the time to Patek Phillippe, the hands are defined by their contours that flatter the baton-shaped applied hour markers. Taking cues from the manufacturer’s heritage as masters of

pocket watches, the center of the dial also features hand-engraved guilloche patterns that bring depth to the flat surface. Closed with a sapphire caseback, the wearer is also invited to admire its uber-thin cal. 240HU, an automatic movement that is not only technically sound but is as beautifully finished as its dial, with Geneva stripes, perlage and anglage. Presented in excellent overall condition with its presentation box and an Extract from the Archives, this World Time ref. 5110P will be a great addition to any collection.

Produced between 1971 until 1984, the present Ellipse ref. 3605 was the largest model of the linage that also has a rare feature of a date window. Inside the lean profile of the reference houses the calibre 28-255C, the very same ultrathin movement to be used in the highly coveted Nautilus ref. 3700. Available in two metals: yellow gold and white gold, it had an estimated production of 1200 pieces with only 1/3 in white gold. The present example fitted with a sunburst blue dial with matching ellipse-shaped buckle is highly attractive and rare. With its modest dimension, the present ellipse in excellent condition wears with extreme comfort and is certainly a great addition to the collection of a discerning lady or gentleman.

On the occasion of Patek Philippe 175th anniversary, the brand pays tribute to the celebration with the release of the limited edition multi-scale timekeeping instrument reference 5975. The timepiece was crafted in four precious metal—400 examples each in yellow, white and rose gold, and 100 examples in platinum.

In 2014 Patek Philippe - founded in 1839 - turned 175 years old. A restricted selection of commemorative pieces were released as limited editions, among which the present reference 5975.

One of only 400 pieces made, the present watch is fresh to the market and offered by its original owner. A marriage of tradition and modernity, it features a generous 40mm case of very complex construction, defined by the heavily stepped lugs. The design of its chronographic complication harkens back to the multi-scale chronographs of the first half of the 20th century. Devoid of a minute counter, it is effectively a 1-minute chronograph, thus intended to be used only in conjunction with the multi-scale dial to measure either speed (tachymeter scale), distance (telemeter scale) or heartbeats (pulsometer scale).

The fact that such an utilitarian complication is found on such an elegant watch, and an Anniversary piece on top of that, betrays a surprising amount of irony, quite unusual considered the brand.

The present piece is furthermore distinguished by being in practically “as new” condition, and by the fact that it is one of the very first examples delivered, on November 12, 2014: about a month after the model was announced - together with the other Anniversary models - in October.

Patek Philippe has always been known for their technical mastery and design excellence, and in 2014 as part of their 175th anniversary celebration, the brand released the limited edition reference 5975 with 400 examples each in yellow, white and rose gold, and 100 examples in platinum. Manufactured exclusively in Patek Philippe’s workshops, this was their first ever automatic chronograph wristwatch. The unusual dial design, reminiscent of early 20th century design, featured no subsidiary dials, but instead a multi-scale layout for instantaneous measurements in telemetry (distance), tachymetry (speed) and pulsations (heart beats). This was the first-time all three measurement scales were seen on one timepiece.

Powered by the highly regarded in-house caliber CH28-520, the chronograph featured a column-wheel with vertical clutch allowing for the chronograph to function without interfering with timekeeping accuracy. The watch has an Art Deco-style appeal with stepped architectural lugs and solid case back engraved “175 Anniversary 1839-2014”. Offered in a well-preserved overall condition along with all its original accessories, the present white gold example is an excellent opportunity for collectors to own a watch that has its historical past set in the early 20th century, but with a 21st century movement.

Launched at Baselworld in 2010, the Patek Philippe ref. 5160 was the answer of the evolution of the perpetual calendar with retrograde date ref. 5159. While both features a sophisticated officer style hinged caseback, the ref. 5160 is a showcase of Patek Philippe’s best known artisanal mastery with a hand engraved flourish. Presented as part of the rare handcraft collection, the master engraver proudly demonstrates their talent with the large Calatrava logo on the hinged caseback. Surrounded by gorgeous proportions and elegant foliate motif down to the edges of the straight lugs, the inspiration reminds one from the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar No. 979975 dated back to 1925. Only released in a small undisclosed number during the time, it is believed that no more than three dozens were made in each metal: yellow, white and pink gold. Featuring an engraved dial encircled with both Arabic and Roman numerals, the aesthetic of the timepiece is balanced and pleasing to admire.

What makes the present timepiece exceedingly exquisite is not only its early production of the reference from 2010, but it is the stunning white gold case that will definitely intrigue any collector. The fully engraved case in almost a gun metal shade gives this timepiece an extremely contemporary appeal. Such even and unique oxidation is not something you will see everyday, as we all known that these characteristics develop by random and only through time.

Well-preserved and accompanied by its original certificate and presentation box, this is arguably one of the most interesting complicated Patek Philippe models you will ever come across.

Further delivered with the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the manufacture of the present timepiece in 2008 and its subsequent date of sale on 24th January 2008.

The Patek Philippe ref. 5970 was launched in 2004 paying its homage to the legendary 2499. With a contemporary approach to its aesthetics, the reference features a much larger case size measuring 40mm diameter, a significant increase from its predecessor. Furthermore, the reference was the last to feature a Lemania based caliber CH 27-70 Q and stamped with the Geneva seal before it was replaced by the firm’s very first in-house perpetual calendar chronograph caliber via the ref. 5270 and stamped with the new Patek Philippe seal. Introduced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the white gold iteration features an exquisitely finished brushed silvered dial with blackened white gold hands and indexes giving the dial a perfect contrast as well as enhancing its legibility.

Fresh-to-the-market, the present example ref. 5970G-001 is presented in excellent overall condition. It is believed that no more than 1000 pieces were encased in white gold from 2004 to 2008. Complete with the full set of accessories including the Certificate of Origin and an additional caseback, it is most definitely an example that would impress discerned Patek Philippe collectors.

Property from the Original Owner 原物主收藏

Launched in 1986 and in production until 2004, reference 3970 was a proud heir of two other Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs: references 1518 and 2499 - and is most probably one of the brand’s most iconic watches of the modern era.

The Patek Philippe reference 3970 presents similar aesthetics to its predecessor such as its pump-style pushers and down turned stepped lugs. However, the reference 3970 featured certain upgrades such as the new movement replacing its former Valjoux based caliber now powered by a heavily modified Lemania 2310 based cal. CH 27-70 Q. Additionally, the dial is presented with two additional indications including leap years and an additional 24-hour hand.

Across its production span of 19 years, the reference was produced in four different metals including yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum across four series. Belonging to an example from the last series, the present timepiece from circa 2000 features a case and movement number that corresponds with other examples from the specific series. Offered in excellent overall condition boasting a nice case with a clean dial and complete with its certificate and presentation box, this fresh-to-the-market ref. 3970 is arguably one of the most undervalued reference of Patek Philippe’s perpetual calendar chronograph timepieces.

PATEK

Since the 1920s, Patek Philippe has been manufacturing some of the world’s most prized and important chronograph wristwatches. With their first serially produced chronograph being the ref.130 released in 1936, it was however not their first chronograph ever produced. In the 1920s, the firm upon a request of a loyal client created a piece unique split-seconds chronograph wristwatch featuring a round-shaped case with thin screwed lugs and a hinged officer’s caseback. Measuring 33mm in diameter, the mono-pusher split-seconds chronograph featured a white enamel dial with black painted Breguet numerals. With the start of the project in 1903, the watch was finally completed and delivered in 1923. This was also the earliest known splitseconds chronograph wristwatch by any manufacturer.

Paying homage to the important unique example from 1923, Patek Philippe introduced the ref. 5959 in 2005, a true reedition of the original example. Cased in a 33mm diameter platinum case in the same style with screwed lugs, the ref. 5959 omitted the hinged officer’s caseback and opted for a sapphire display caseback proudly showcasing the firm’s first ever in-house split-seconds chronograph cal. CH 27-525 PS featuring an extra-flat column wheel with only a thickness of 5.25mm, a world record at the time. Initially launched in platinum with a white lacquered dial with black Breguet numerals, a variant with a black dial was released in 2008. A rare pink gold iteration was released thereafter with a black dial and gilt Breguet numerals with only 5 examples ever made. While it is believed that most examples were fitted with a white dial throughout the course of its production before it was discontinued in 2018, only a fraction were produced with a black dial with no more than a handful resurfaced back into the market since. It is estimated that less than 100 examples of the reference were produced.

The present example Patek Philippe ref. 5959 in platinum from circa 2014 with the rare and elusive black dial is the second example to be offered at a PHILLIPS auction. Complete with its full set of accessories, it is a rare occasion to come across the present reference in the wild. Cherished, adored and praised by esteemed connoisseurs of Patek Philippe, the ref. 5959 will surely go down in history as one of the most elegant, beautiful and important splitseconds chronograph references in the lineage of the firm.

Catalogue Entries

Phillips may print in the catalogue entry the history of ownership of the property, as well as the exhibition history and references to the work in art publications. While we are careful in the cataloguing process, provenance, exhibition and literature references may not be exhaustive and in some cases we may intentionally refrain from disclosing the identity of previous owners. Please note that all dimensions of the property set forth in the catalogue entry are approximate.

Condition of Lots

Our catalogues include references to condition only in the descriptions of multiple works (e.g., prints). Such references, though, do not amount to a full description of condition. The absence of reference to the condition of a lot in the catalogue entry does not imply that the lot is free from faults or imperfections. Solely as a convenience to clients, Phillips may provide condition reports. In preparing such reports, our specialists assess the condition in a manner appropriate to the estimated value of the property. While condition reports are prepared honestly and carefully, our staff are not professional restorers. We therefore encourage all prospective buyers to inspect the property at the pre-sale exhibitions and recommend, particularly in the case of any lot of significant value, that you retain your own restorer or professional advisor to report to you on the property’s condition prior to bidding. Moreover, condition reports are not exhaustive and may not specify all mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial, pendulum, separate bases(s) or dome. The absence of a condition report or the absence of a reference to damage in the catalogue does not imply that the lot is in good condition, working order or free from restoration or repair.

Pre-Auction Viewing

Pre-auction viewings are open to the public and free of charge. Our specialists are available to give advice and condition reports at viewings or by appointment.

Symbol Key

The following key explains the symbols you may see inside this catalogue.

O Guaranteed Property

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

◊ Third Party Guarantee

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

In return for underwriting or sharing this risk Phillips will usually compensate the third party. The compensation may be in the form of a fixed fee or an amount calculated by reference to the hammer price of the lot. If the third party guarantor is the successful bidder they will be required to pay the full hammer price and buyer’s premium and will not be otherwise compensated.

Disclosure of financial interest by third parties

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

Δ Property in which Phillips has an Ownership Interest

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

• No Reserve

Unless indicated by a •, all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential value established between Phillips and the seller and below which a lot may not be sold. The reserve for each lot is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate.

Ж Property subject to US Import Tariffs

Lots with this symbol indicate that the Property may be subject to additional tariffs upon importation into the United States of America. See paragraph 12 of the Conditions of Sale.

Endangered Species

Lots with this symbol have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing endangered or other protected species of wildlife which may be subject to restrictions regarding export or import and which may require permits for export as well as import. Please refer to Paragraph 4 of the Guide for Prospective Buyers and Paragraph 11 of the Conditions of Sale.

* Premium Lots

3 The Auction

As noted above, the auction is governed by the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. All prospective bidders should read them carefully. By registering for the Auction, bidders accept the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty. They may be amended by saleroom addendum or Auctioneer’s announcement.

Interested Parties Announcement

In situations where a person allowed to bid on a lot has a direct or indirect interest in such lot, such as the beneficiary or executor of an estate selling the lot, a joint owner of the lot or a party providing or participating in a guarantee on the lot, Phillips will make an announcement in the saleroom that interested parties may bid on the lot.

Consecutive and Responsive Bidding; No Reserve Lots

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

4 After the Auction Payment

Buyers are required to pay for purchases immediately following the auction unless other arrangements have been agreed with Phillips in writing in advance of the

sale. Payment must be made in Hong Kong dollars by wire transfer, as noted in Paragraph 6 of the Conditions of Sale. Cash and cheques are not accepted.

Credit Cards

As a courtesy to clients who have bid or bought in Phillips auctions previously, Phillips will accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and China Union Pay to pay for invoices of HK$800,000 or less per auction.

Collection

It is our policy to request proof of identity on collection of a lot. A lot will be released to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative when Phillips has received full and cleared payment and we are not owed any other amount by the buyer. After the auction, all lots will be stored externally, please call our shipping department on +852 2318 2000 prior to arranging collection. We will levy removal, interest, storage and handling charges on uncollected lots.

Loss or Damage

Buyers are reminded that Phillips accepts liability for loss or damage to lots for a maximum of seven days following the auction.

Transport and Shipping

As a free service for buyers, Phillips will wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling or shipping services directly. However, we will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by you in order to facilitate the packing, handling and shipping of property purchased at Phillips. Please refer to Paragraph 7 of the Conditions of Sale for more information.

Export and Import Licences

Before bidding for any property, prospective bidders are advised to make independent enquiries as to whether a licence is required to export the property from Hong Kong or to import it into another country. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to comply with all import and export laws and to obtain any necessary licences or permits. The denial of any required licence or permit or any delay in obtaining such documentation will not justify the cancellation of the sale or any delay in making full payment for the lot.

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

Endangered Species

Items made of or incorporating plant or animal material, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, Brazilian rosewood, rhinoceros horn or tortoiseshell, irrespective of age, percentage or value, may require a licence or certificate prior to exportation and additional licences or certificates upon importation to the US or to any country within or outside the European Union (EU). Please note that the ability to obtain an export licence or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import licence or certificate in another country, and vice versa. We suggest that prospective bidders check with their own government regarding wildlife import requirements prior to placing a bid. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licences or certificates as well as any other required documentation. Please note that the US prohibits the importation of any item containing African elephant ivory. Asian elephant ivory may be imported in to the US only if accompanied by independent scientific analysis regarding continent of origin and confirmation the object is more than 100 years old. We have not obtained a scientific analysis on any lot prior to sale and cannot indicate whether elephant ivory in a particular lot is African or Asian elephant. Buyers purchase these lots at their own risk and will be responsible for the costs of obtaining any scientific analysis or other report required in connection with their proposed import of such property into the US.

With regard to any item containing endangered species other than elephant ivory, an importer into the US must provide documented evidence of the species identification and age of an object in order to demonstrate that the object qualifies as an antique. This will require the buyer to obtain an independent appraisal certifying the species of endangered material on the object and certifying that the object is not less than 100 years of age. A prospective buyer planning to import an object into the US may not rely on Phillips cataloguing to establish the species of endangered material on the object or to establish the age of the object and must consult with a qualified independent appraiser prior to placing a bid on the lot. Please note that lots containing potentially regulated plant or animal material are marked as a convenience to our clients, but Phillips does not accept liability for errors or for failing to mark lots containing protected or regulated species.

Important Notices

Condition

Phillips makes no representation or warranty that any watch or clock is in working order, and no catalogue description of any lot should be construed as so stating. Prospective buyers are advised to have watches and clocks checked by a competent watchmaker or watch or clock restorer before use. As a service to prospective buyers, we may provide a description of the condition of watches and clocks in the catalogue entry, including references to defects and repairs, and furnish a condition report, but such information is not necessarily complete and may not specify all mechanical replacements, restorations or defects. Please note that Phillips does not guarantee the authenticity of any individual components parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and leather bands, since prior repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts. Nor does Phillips warrant that watches in water-resistant cases are currently water-resistant. Prospective buyers should inspect all watches and clocks prior to the auction to evaluate the condition of property offered for sale.

Exportation of Watch Bands Incorporating Material from Endangered Species

Some of the watches offered for sale in the catalogue may have bands made of endangered or protected animal materials, such as alligator or crocodile, and may not lawfully be exported from the auction site without a CITES export permit. As explained in Paragraph 1 & 4 of the Guide for Prospective Buyers, these lots are marked with ∑ in the catalogue. Accordingly, for purchased watches that are to be shipped out of the sale site for delivery, Phillips may need to remove and retain the band before shipping the watch and buckle.

Importation of Watches Into the United States

Prospective buyers should be aware that the importation of luxury watches into the United States may be restricted. These watches may not be shipped into the US and may only be imported personally. US customs regulations may limit the importation of luxury watches to one per buyer. Lots marked with ▼ are subject to these restrictions. A purchaser’s inability to import a luxury watch into the United States or Phillips’s failure to mark a lot with ▼ shall not constitute grounds for nonpayment or cancellation of the sale.

Authenticity Certificates

Certain manufacturers do not issue certificates of authenticity, and Phillips has no obligation to furnish a buyer with a certificate of authenticity from the manufacturer, except when specifically noted in the catalogue. Unless Phillips is satisfied that we should cancel the sale in accordance with the Authorship Warranty provided in the Conditions of Sale, the failure of a manufacturer to issue a certificate will not constitute grounds for cancellation of the sale.

Premium Lots

To bid on Premium Lots marked in the catalogue with the symbol *, prospective buyers must complete and satisfy Phillips’ Premium Lot pre-registration procedure no later than 24 hours before the start of the auction session in which the Lot is offered for sale. Premium Lot paddles will be issued to bidders who complete and satisfy the Premium Lot pre-registration procedure. The Auctioneer will only accept bids from Premium Lot paddles in respect of Premium Lots. For details, please contact the department organising the auction or the Client Services Department at +852 2318 2000.

Hong Kong Conditions of Sale

The Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty set out below govern the relationship between bidders and buyers, on the one hand, and Phillips Fine Watches Limited registered in Hong Kong under number 2131858 (“Phillips”) and sellers, on the other hand. All prospective buyers should read these Conditions of Sale, the Important Notices immediately following the Guide for Prospective Buyers and the Authorship Warranty carefully before bidding.

1 Introduction

Each lot in this catalogue is offered for sale and sold subject to: (a) the Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty; (b) additional notices and terms printed in other places in this catalogue, including the Guide for Prospective Buyers and Important Notices and (c) supplements to this catalogue or other written material posted by Phillips in the saleroom, in each case as amended by any addendum or announcement by the auctioneer prior to the auction.

By bidding at the auction, whether in person, through an agent, by written bid, by telephone bid or other means, bidders and buyers agree to be bound by these Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty.

These Conditions of Sale, as so changed or supplemented, and Authorship Warranty contain all the terms on which Phillips and the seller contract with the buyer.

2 Phillips as Agent

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

3 Catalogue Descriptions and Condition of Property

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

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

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

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

(d) Information provided to prospective buyers in respect of any lot, including any pre-sale estimate, whether written or oral, and information in any catalogue, condition or other report, commentary or valuation, is not a representation of fact but rather a statement of opinion held by Phillips. Any pre-sale estimate may not

be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time by Phillips at our absolute discretion. Neither Phillips nor any of our affiliated companies shall be liable for any difference between the pre-sale estimates for any lot and the actual price achieved at auction or upon resale.

4 Bidding at Auction

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

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

(c) Telephone bidders are required to submit bids on the ‘Telephone Bid Form’, a copy of which is printed in this catalogue or otherwise available from Phillips. Telephone bidding is available for lots whose low pre-sale estimate is at least HK$8,000. Phillips reserves the right to require written confirmation of a successful bid from a telephone bidder by fax or otherwise immediately after such bid is accepted by the auctioneer. Telephone bids may be recorded and, by bidding on the telephone, a bidder consents to the recording of the conversation.

(d) Bidders may participate in an auction by bidding online through Phillips’s online live bidding platform available on our website at www.phillips.com. To bid online, bidders must register online at least 24 hours before the start of the auction. Online bidding is subject to approval by Phillips’s bid department in our sole discretion. As noted in Paragraph 3 above, Phillips encourages online bidders to inspect prior to the auction any lot(s) on which they may bid, and condition reports are available upon request. Bidding in a live auction can progress quickly. To ensure that online bidders are not placed at a disadvantage when bidding against bidders in the room or on the telephone, the procedure for placing bids through Phillips’s online bidding platform is a one-step process. By clicking the bid button on the computer screen, a bidder submits a bid. Online bidders acknowledge and agree that bids so submitted are final and may not under any circumstances be amended or retracted. During a live auction, when bids other than online bids are placed, they will be displayed on the online bidder’s computer screen as ‘floor’ bids. ‘Floor’ bids include bids made by the auctioneer to protect the reserve. In the event that an online bid and a ‘floor’ or ‘phone’ bid are identical, the ‘floor’ bid may take precedence at the auctioneer’s discretion. The next bidding increment is shown for the convenience of online bidders in the bid button. The bidding increment available to online bidders may vary from the next bid actually taken by the auctioneer, as the auctioneer may deviate from Phillips’s standard increments at any time at his or her discretion, but an online bidder may only place a bid in a whole bidding increment. Phillips’s bidding increments are published in the Guide for Prospective Buyers.

(e) When making a bid, whether in person, by absentee bid, on the telephone or online, a bidder accepts personal liability to pay the purchase price, as described more fully in Paragraph 6 (a) below, plus all other applicable charges.

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

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

(h) * Premium Lots

Lots with the symbol [*] are Premium Lots. To bid on Premium Lots prospective buyers must complete and satisfy Phillips’ Premium Lot pre-registration procedure no later than 24 hours before the start of the auction session in which the Lot is offered. Premium Lot paddles will be issued to bidders who complete and satisfy the Premium Lot pre-registration procedure. The Auctioneer will only accept bids from Premium Lot paddles in respect of Premium Lots. Please contact the department organizing the auction for further details.

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

5 Conduct of the Auction

(a) Unless otherwise indicated by the symbol •, each lot is offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum selling price agreed by Phillips with the seller. The reserve will not exceed the low pre-sale estimate at the time of the auction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 Purchase Price and Payment

(a) The buyer agrees to pay us, in addition to the hammer price of the lot, the buyer’s premium and any applicable sales tax (the ‘Purchase Price’). The buyer’s premium

is 26% of the hammer price up to and including HK$5,000,000, 21% of the portion of the hammer price above HK$5,000,000 up to and including HK$50,000,000 and 14.5% of the portion of the hammer price above HK$50,000,000. Phillips reserves the right to pay from our compensation an introductory commission to one or more third parties for assisting in the sale of property offered and sold at auction.

(b) Payments must be made by the invoiced party in Hong Kong dollars. Please reference the relevant invoice number. Payment is due immediately following the auction regardless of any intention to obtain any export or import license or other permit for such Lot. Interest will be charged on late payment at the rate of 12% per annum.

(c) If you are a new client bidding online in our Auction for the first time, as a security measure you will be required to pay for your lots by wire transfer only. This is our standard policy for all new online buyers.

As a courtesy to clients who have bid or bought in our sales previously, Phillips will accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard and China Union Pay to pay for invoices of HK$800,000 or less per auction.

(d) Title in a purchased lot will not pass until Phillips has received the Purchase Price for that lot in cleared funds. Phillips is not obliged to release a lot to the buyer until title in the lot has passed and appropriate identification has been provided, and any earlier release does not affect the passing of title or the buyer’s unconditional obligation to pay the Purchase Price.

7 Collection of Property

(a) Phillips will not release a lot to the buyer until we have received payment of its Purchase Price in full in cleared funds, the buyer has paid all outstanding amounts due to Phillips or any of our affiliated companies, including any charges payable pursuant to Paragraph 8 (a) below, and the buyer has satisfied such other terms as we in our sole discretion shall require, including providing information and documentation we require to satisfy our customer due diligence and verification checks for Know Your Customer compliance purposes and completing any antimoney laundering, anti-terrorism financing and sanctions checks. As soon as a buyer has satisfied all of the above conditions, he or she should contact us at +852 2318 2000 to arrange for collection of purchased property.

(b) The buyer must arrange for collection of a purchased lot within seven days of the date of the auction. After the auction, all lots will be stored externally, please call our shipping department on +852 2318 2000 prior to arranging collection. We will levy removal, interest, storage and handling charges on uncollected lots. Purchased lots are at the buyer’s risk, including the responsibility for insurance, from (i) the date of collection or (ii) seven days after the auction, whichever is the earlier. Until risk passes, Phillips will compensate the buyer for any loss or damage to a purchased lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price paid, subject to our usual exclusions for loss or damage to property.

(c) As a courtesy to clients, Phillips will, without charge, wrap purchased lots for hand carry only. We do not provide packing, handling, insurance or shipping services. We will coordinate with shipping agents instructed by the buyer, whether or not recommended by Phillips, in order to facilitate the packing, handling, insurance and shipping of property bought at Phillips. Any such instruction is entirely at the buyer’s risk and responsibility, and we will not be liable for acts or omissions of third party packers or shippers. Property will be collected by the buyer at the point it is released in the sale location by Phillips to the buyer or to a third-party shipper acting for the buyer. The buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and local taxes payable to import the Property to its final destination.

(d) Phillips will require presentation of government-issued identification prior to release of a lot to the buyer or the buyer’s authorized representative.

8 Failure to Collect Purchases

(a) If the buyer pays the Purchase Price but fails to collect a purchased lot within 30 days of the auction, the buyer will incur a late collection fee of HK$80 per day for each uncollected lot. We will not release purchased lots to the buyer until all such charges have been paid in full.

(b) If a purchased lot is paid for but not collected within six months of the auction, the buyer authorizes Phillips, upon notice, to arrange a resale of the item by auction

or private sale, with estimates and a reserve set at Phillips’s reasonable discretion. The proceeds of such sale will be applied to pay for storage charges and any other outstanding costs and expenses owed by the buyer to Phillips or our affiliated companies and the remainder will be forfeited unless collected by the buyer within two years of the original auction.

9 Remedies for Non-Payment

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

(b) The buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips to exercise a lien over the buyer’s property which is in our possession upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment. Phillips will notify the buyer of any such lien. The buyer also irrevocably authorizes Phillips, upon notification by any of our affiliated companies that the buyer is in default of payment, to pledge the buyer’s property in our possession by actual or constructive delivery to our affiliated company as security for the payment of any outstanding amount due. Phillips will notify the buyer if the buyer’s property has been delivered to an affiliated company by way of pledge.

(c) If the buyer is in default of payment, the buyer irrevocably authorizes Phillips to instruct any of our affiliated companies in possession of the buyer’s property to deliver the property by way of pledge as the buyer’s agent to a third party instructed by Phillips to hold the property on our behalf as security for the payment of the Purchase Price and any other amount due and, no earlier than 30 days from the date of written notice to the buyer, to sell the property in such manner and for such consideration as can reasonably be obtained on a forced sale basis and to apply the proceeds to any amount owed to Phillips or any of our affiliated companies after the deduction from sale proceeds of our standard vendor’s commission, all sale-related expenses and any applicable taxes thereon.

10 Rescission by Phillips

Phillips shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to the buyer if we reasonably believe that there is a material breach of the seller’s representations and warranties or the Authorship Warranty or an adverse claim is made by a third party. Upon notice of Phillips election to rescind the sale, the buyer will promptly return the lot to Phillips, and we will then refund the Purchase Price paid to us. As described more fully in Paragraph 14 below, the refund shall constitute the sole remedy and recourse of the buyer against Phillips and the seller with respect to such rescinded sale.

Phillips and the seller make no representations or warranties that the buyer of a lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.

16 General

(a) These Conditions of Sale, as changed or supplemented as provided in Paragraph 1 above, and Authorship Warranty set out the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersede all prior and contemporaneous written, oral or implied understandings, representations and agreements.

(c) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by any buyer without our prior written consent but are binding on the buyer’s successors, assigns and representatives.

(d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held void, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

17 Law and Jurisdiction

(a) The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty, the conduct of the auction and any matters related to any of the foregoing shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with Hong Kong law.

(b) For the benefit of Phillips, all bidders and sellers agree that the courts of Hong Kong are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle all disputes arising in connection with all aspects of all matters or transactions to which these Conditions of Sale and Authorship Warranty relate or apply.

Authorship Warranty

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

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

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

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

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