Already established as an accomplished watchmaker, Michel Parmigiani decided to launch a brand under his name in 1996. Recognised as one of the most revered in haute horology, Parmigiani Fleurier commemorated its 25th anniversary by introducing the Tonda PF line.

Released during 2021’s Geneva Watch Days, the new signature collection of sophisticated, slender, complicated sports watches is invigorating while also bearing the visual DNA of the brand.

Sporting an entirely fresh look for Parmigiani, the Tonda FP Chronograph is marketed towards collectors who are not looking to express materialistic style, but the confidence of knowledge and culture, with a refined elegance that is not at all conventional. This is the ideal opportunity to get ahead of the trend and acquire this exquisite luxury sports watch.

Making its debut in 2019, the Chopard Alpine Eagle is the firm’s newest take on their luxury sports watch line. Since the firm’s acquisition by the Scheufele’s in 1963, the watchmaking division has since been led by Chopard’s co-president, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, while his sister Caroline Scheufele is a powerhouse of the jewellery arm of the firm responsible for creating some of the most important jewellery for Hollywood icons for the Cannes Film Festival. The Alpine Eagle was first introduced in stainless steel with a robust design featuring an integrated bracelet with an angular case and a rounded bezel with eight naked screws. The appeal is with no doubt a familiar face as seen in other luxury sports watches manufactured by other firms. However, what truly separates the Alpine Eagle is its mesmerising galvanised Aletsch blue sunburst dial inspired by an eagle’s eye. Elevating its charm, the dial features luminousfilled applied gold Roman numerals that contrasts perfectly against the ocean blue backdrop.

Offered in “brand new” condition with no signs of use and wear, the present handsome Chopard Alpine Eagle in pink gold with a blue dial is an excellent timepiece to sport during a casual weekend.

Proceeds of the sale will be donated to a Turkish Charity Foundation that supports the victims of the Turkish earthquake in 2023.

Highly regarded by industry titans such as Philippe Dufour and Kari Voutilainen, Rexhep Rexhepi has become somewhat of a legend among the new generation of young independents, sending shockwaves across the world of horology with his mastery of the craft. Only 14 years old at the time, the young Rexhepi began his horological career with an apprenticeship at Patek Philippe, focusing on tourbillons, before migrating to a comfortable job as a watchmaker at F.P. Journe. Determined to make a name for himself, he established his own atelier at the early age of 26 and named it Akrivia, inspired by the Greek word for precision.

In 2018, Rexhepi’s six years of hard work eventually paid off as he became an overnight sensation with the release of the first Chronomètre Contemporain. Though not his first creation, his vision of a contemporary yet classical aesthetic is boldly reflected in this award-winning design. It went on to be named the Men’s Watch of the year at Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). Steering clear from superfluous details, this timepiece instead focuses on showcasing the artisanal movement finishing that has since become a symbol of the brand.

Boasting a distinctive, unique identity, the Chronomètre Contemporain is the first timepiece that proudly flaunts the “Rexhep Rexhepi” name on the dial. This time-only watch displays the hours, minutes and small seconds on a glazed Grand Feu black enamel dial with contrasting pink gold accents. The glossy, dark canvas is further enhanced with an Art-Deco-esque asymmetrical outline that highlights each Roman numeral in an alternating pattern. Adding depth and dimension to the dial, the small seconds is positioned in a recessed sub-register at 6’oclock, surrounded by a delicate gilded ring—a subtle detail that was not included in the initial prototype.

The impeccable quality of the movement that powers the Chronomètre Contemporain is as to be expected from Rexhep Rexhepi and his small team of artisans. An architectural dream, the unusually symmetrical caliber RR-01 is not only appealing but is also a testament to its mechanical prowess. The movement is equipped with a hacking-second and zero-reset mechanism that allows the small seconds hand to pause and revert to zero when the winding crown is not in place. This function is rarely incorporated into wristwatches and maximises precision when time is being set via a heartshaped cam beneath the small seconds hand, akin to the resetting mechanism in a chronograph. A single barrel that rotates on a central jewelled steel bridge, similar to ones used for a tourbillon carriage, is also employed, resulting in up to 100 hours of power reserve.

The finishing of the caliber RR-01 is faultless, showing off a raging display of hand-churned surfaces on every plate and bridge, around every turn and corner. Each anglage on both visible and concealled parts of the movement is rounded, in the bombé style, and requires the most skilled and experienced artisans to achieve manually. Adhering to the traditional standards of Genevan haute horology, the movement plates are decorated with deep, defined Côtes de Genève stripes. A spotlight is shone on certain components with a suave black polishing, such as the cap for the balance cock. Smaller details, like the perlage finishes on the base plate, are tastefully executed, bringing the movement’s entire aesthetic to a whole new level of classic, while richly adorned with details.

The present pink gold Chronomètre Contemporain measures 38mm in diameter and is fitted with an exquisitely concaved bezel and caseback. Taking inspiration from Emile Vichet’s curved lugs from 1950’s Patek Philippe cases, this timepiece is complete with a set of elongated downturned lugs that perfectly hugs the contours of the wrist.

The first to appear in PHILLIPS, this “like-new” RRCC01 is numbered 20 of a limited edition of 25 pieces, offered with its original accessories. A Rexhepi’s creation, the present lot will no doubt be a prize for any collectors of rare, contemporary horological masterpieces.

With a manufacturer that strives to only offer the best timepieces in the market, innovation is often the key element that drives the momentum. In 2005, Patek Philippe introduced the Advanced Research department to develop new innovations to improve precision and reliability of a mechanical wristwatch through the experimentation of new materials and micromechanics.

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 present Advanced Research Annual Calendar ref. 5350 is the second generation of this series and was presented as a limited production of 300 pieces in pink gold only. The watch is fitted with an upgraded movement that now carries a Silinvar Spiromax balance spring and silicon escape wheel.

Fresh-to-the-market, the present example Patek Philippe ref. 5350R-001 is the 51st to be identified in the market and is offered in excellent overall condition and is also delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present example in 2008.

Unveiled in 2012, the Patek Philippe ref. 6102 is nothing like the conventional quiet luxuries the firm is known for. Designed to impress perpetual dreamers with a love for high complications, this timepiece follows closely to the preceding ref. 5102 from 2002, featuring an additional date function surrounding a dial with a sky chart, phases and orbit of the moon, as well as the time of Meridian passage of Sirius and the moon.

Measuring 44mm in diameter, the ref. 6102 is one of the largest Patek Philippe designs, almost on par with the Grandmaster Chime ref. 6300, but is much thinner compared to a thickness of 9.8mm. Matched with a sloped bezel, this large-for-Patek astronomical watch can easily slide underneath a dress cuff or tight sleeve. The rest of the case is tastefully executed, featuring pronounced steps on the lugs and around the bezel. Unlike the ref. 5102, the casebands are no longer embellished with the Calatrava cross motif, but rather dressed down in a distinctively cleaner mirrored finish. Adhering to the precursor, the watch is wound and set via the crown at 2 o’clock, while the astronomical functions are adjusted using the crown at 4 o’clock.

The case is a sight to behold, but it certainly does not measure up to the dial. Composed of three individual metallised sapphire discs, the highly reflective blackened base is layered with a disc of the phases and orbit of the moon, further topped with a third tier that depicts the sky chart on the front side and the Milky Way on the other. Two triangular cardinal points on the sky chart indicate the time of meridian passage of the moon and of Sirius, the brightest star in the Earth’s night sky. The sapphire crystal on top of the dial is further printed with an elliptical contour that frames the portion of the sky visible from Geneva at any given time. As mentioned above, the radial date chapter is indicated by a red crescent-tipped hand which is absent in the ref. 5102. The hours and minutes are displayed by a pair of hollowed feuille hands that provides an unobstructed view of the three-dimensional starry dial.

Driven by the powerful automatic cal. 240 LU CL C, the movement is designed to rotate at different speeds, governing the multi-layered sapphire crystal discs that form the dial. Flawlessly finished to the highest standards of the Patek Philippe Seal, every component is beautifully executed by hand, boasting polished chamfers and screw heads, the Côtes de Genève stripes, perlage and engravings. Furthermore, this technically sound machine is equipped with a 22K gold micro-rotor that sits on the same plane as the bridges, providing a maximum of 48 hours of power reserve.

A sophisticated work of art, the present ref. 6102R-001 is exceedingly rare and encased in a warm inviting pink gold case, contrasted with a cool, dark celestial dial. Offered in excellent overall condition with its full set of original accessories, this example is the 3rd example to appear at auction. It is fresh-to-the-market and will undoubtedly impress collectors of important, extremely rare and highly complicated wristwatches.
