Property from the Original Japanese Owner 日本原物主收藏

Geneva based watchmaker Franck Muller first started his small-scale independent firm in 1992 and has since produced distinctly classical and notably innovative timepieces. Much of his work was inspired by historical complications but reimagined with a sense of modernity. One of his ingenious reinventions was the Double-Face Chronograph that features an oversized seconds counter on the reverse of the watch, a complication once found on pocket watches.The model is notably distinguished by having dials on both sides of the case to allow for multiple chronographic scales that are significantly more legible. The front features a conventional dial with chronograph registers, while the back has an oversized, one-minute register with center seconds as well as a pulsometer, tachymeter and telemeter, operated by the chronograph buttons. Due to its large display, the scales are significantly easier to read than on an ordinary chronograph.

The present ref. 7000 DF JA from circa 1993 is cased in yellow gold and classically proportioned at 39mm diameter, featuring a textured champagne matte dial with Roman numerals and blued steel hands. Offered in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of original accessories, the timepiece has aged beautifully and developed an attractive oxidation on one side of the case, giving the watch a distinctive character of its own.

A perpetual dream, the Toric Chronographe draws inspiration from the first timepiece designed by Michel Parmigiani in 1996. Driven by the “golden ratio”, the Toric reflects the watchmaker’s vision of a timeless wristwatch made to withstand the test of time.

Paying homage to its predecessor, the present chronograph model is blessed with a tastefully executed case, featuring an intricate fluted bezel, accompanied by downturned lugs that seamlessly caress the contours of the wearer’s wrist. Boasting a mesmerising monochrome dial, the configuration is beautifully arranged a black canvas with “Ecaille de Poisson” guilloche in the centre, contrasted with an inconspicuous date window between 1 and 2 o’clock, three sub-dials and a tachymeter track in white. Topped with applied pink gold Arabic numerals, this clever detail echoes the warm and inviting sensation that compliments the case. As beautiful as it is technically sound, the sapphire case back encourages its wearer to admire the Zenith El Primero-based cal. 400 Z that breathes life into this Toric Chronographe.

This early Parmigiani Fleurier model is certainly 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. Exceptionally rare and with such finesse, the present example is well-preserved in excellent overall condition.

Founded in 1996, Parmigiani Fleurier has been a champion of exceptionally well-made timepieces, known for their impressive quality in both form and function. In their formative years, Parmigiani produced a number of clocks and objects d'art, and the present Régence Square Table Clock is an excellent example of that.

Embodying the opulent style of the Art Deco period, this clock is built with a beautiful black onyx base with smooth sensual rounded corners, further enhanced with contrasting pink gold accents. A quintessential Parmigiani design through and through, the pink gold bezel of the squared dial is doublestepped and finished by hand to create an intricate fluting. Similarly, the solid silver dial is made to turn heads, featuring hand-finished barleycorn guilloche throughout, topped with silvered chapters that highlight the hours, minutes and perpetual calendar indications with the moon phase at 6 oʼclock. The hands are also presented in Parmigiani's signature lance shape.

To admire the movement within, simply swivel the clock upside down and open its hinged case back to unveil the beautifully adorned key-wound structure, equipped with eight days of power reserve. Lo and behold, the Italian tastemaker incorporated bridges with hand-beveled geometric-floral patterns that result in an unbelievably attractive, modern and timeless mechanical work of art.

Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, the present Régence Square Table Clock carries an atmospheric presence, making it the perfect mantelpiece or office decoration, for it is as functional as it is elegant.

To many collectors today, the idea of Souscription is no longer foreign thanks to the widely praised tourbillon series by independent master watchmaker

F. P. Journe in 1999. A brilliant idea it was, this unique approach was actually borrowed from Breguet’s founding father, Abraham Louis Breguet in 1794. Not only does it allow the brand to remain financially stable, on the up-side a percentage of down payment would be collected up front from collectors in exchange for what would become the very first ones to own the limited production timepieces. This is exactly the case for the present Breguet Souscription set launched in 1991. Set out to be produced in a limited series of 300 pieces only as a celebration of more than 200 years of the brand, the pair consist of a 37mm perpetual calendar wristwatch with minute repeater, and a 62mm perpetuelle pocket watch that spanned across four metals: platinum, pink, white and yellow gold.

Diving into the ref. 3430 perpetual calendar minute repeater, the yellow gold coin edged cased timepiece is fitted with a classic guilloche dial, compacted with information yet extremely well-balanced with all elements clearly legible. Powering this wristwatch is the calibre 567 derived from the Lemania minute repeating calibre cal. 399 with the perpetual calendar mechanism on top. Aesthetically distinctive by its triple finger bridges and decorated with Côte de Genève throughout, the movement and caseback is signed off with No. 34.

Matched as a pair, the No. 34 perpetuelle pocket watch ref. 1890 is truly spectacular. Based on similar Breguet pocket watches from the late 18th century, it proudly displays a hammer-winding mechanism that all connoisseurs can admire with the naked eye thanks to its large case size. Absolutely a pleasure to appreciate, the architecture and finishings of the movement is a work of art. From the oscillating weight crafted in platinum with anti-friction sapphire rollers to the serpentine steel arm, to the parachute shock absorber on both pivots that stands out against the golden movement strikingly. It is notable that this was developed and manufactured by Michel Parmigiani in 1990s while Breguet was under ownership of Investcorp.

Documented with the original Breguet certificates, the No. 34 Souscription set with its original wooden presentation box is highly collectible in all aspects.

Introduced circa 1990, the present Boignoire Bi-Plan sports the same “bathtub” case as the original, with the addition of three hand-finished godrons and two horizontal lugs directly hinged to the clasp. As a result, the watch resembles an aircraft from the early 1900s with two sets of wings stacked above one another, which coincidently (or not), is also known as a biplane! The tactical placement of the horizontal bars perfectly frames the oval case, giving the watch a cool Art Deco appeal. Upon closer inspection, these lugs are not just a design affectation, but are in fact, part of an ingenious mechanism that discreetly tucks the deployant clasp behind the caseback, allowing the strap to snugly hug the contours of the wearer’s wrist. An extremely rare design, the Bi-Plan clasp on this Baignoire only reveals itself when opened.

A quintessential Cartier creation, the present white gold timepiece flaunts a classic guilloche dial with an ivory background and contrasting black Roman numerals. Of course, the blued steel hands match the sapphire cabochon that tops the crown. Offered at PHILLIPS for the first time, this example is exceptionally well-preserved and is further accompanied by its original accessories. Designed to turn heads, this quartz-driven Baignoire from the Bi Plan Louis Cartier collection is certainly destined to grace the wrists of connoisseurs seeking a classic yet quirky that outshines the ordinary.

In 1998, Cartier introduced their now coveted Cartier Privée Collection Paris (CPCP) offering an opportunity to modernise and upgrade some of their iconic models and designs. This extended to the Tortue model, first introduced by Cartier in 1912 and fitted with a European Watch and Clock movement. It was with great pride and fanfare that they reintroduced the Cartier Tortue Monopoussoir in 1999, alongside a flying tourbillon and time-only version. Named “tortue à pattes” or “turtle on legs”, it was a symbol of good fortune and longevity.

The new watch was larger and contemporary, featuring the all-new chronograph caliber 045MC. This new movement is historic as it was co-developed by Vianney Halter, Denis Flageollet, and Francois-Paul Journe through their firm at the time, Techniques Horlogères Appliquées (THA). Together, they developed a single-button chronograph movement with a lever escapement and clutch system with a swivel pin. Essentially, this upgrade does away with the “jolt” or “skip” the user feels when re-setting the seconds hand and allows for a smoother re-set function.

With only a 10-year production of the CPCP models ending in 2008, collectors today have grown interest in these rare and innovative timepieces, in particular to the Monopoussoir model. The present example in yellow gold features a nice case number of No. 0008 and is a fine example of the glorious period of the Parisian house of luxury.

Property from a Japanese Collector 日本私人收藏

Cartier has always been a master of impeccable design since creating their first ever wristwatch in the early 1900s. Throughout the decades, the Parisian house of luxury has continued to create timepieces with vivid case designs that romanticises horological ingenuity and timeless aesthetics.

Regarded as the most enigmatic of them all, the Cartier Crash was first introduced at their New Bond Street boutique in London in 1967. With a mysterious story packed with controversial legends along with its daring and unusual aesthetics, the Crash quickly became an icon on its own of the 20th century. While there is no conclusive answer to as what the true story of its inspiration hails from, some say that the timepiece was inspired by Salvador Dali’s melting clock from the “Persistence of Memory”, some would argue that it was inspired by a Cartier Baignoire that was deformed during a car crash. Though, regardless of what is true and what is not, the Crash is simply a standalone timepiece that will forever be in a league on its own.

An exciting era, the 1960s was a vibrant era for Cartier as branches of the establishment operated individually in Paris, New York and London. Headed by the great grandson of founder, Jean-Jacques Cartier, the innovative approach to creating extraordinary timepieces and luxury goods to cater towards their trendy clientele was inevitable.

A superlative timepiece that has remained an exclusive flagship boutique model of the firm, Cartier Paris released their own Crash in 1991 as a limited edition of 400 pieces in yellow gold followed by 50 pieces in platinum.

The present example Cartier Crash in yellow gold belongs to an example numbered 84 of a limited edition of 400 pieces from the 1991 Paris series. Offered in excellent overall condition with extremely minimal signs of use and wear and offered with its rare original certificate and its limited edition certificate as well as its original presentation box, this present example is one of the most complete and well-preserved examples to have recently graced the market.

In the 1980s, Rolex began to adorn their sports watches with precious gemstones for its most exclusive clientele. Among these first early gem-set sports watches are the manually-wound Daytona references 6269 and 6270 (the former with brilliant-cut diamonds at the bezel and the latter with baguette-cut diamonds). Sparking a new trend for gem-set timepieces, Rolex continued to bedazzle their prestigious lines of watches with various combinations of gemstones, cuts, settings and designs over the years. Examples with large baguette-cut bezels, pavé diamond dials, emeralds, rubies or sapphires to name a few combinations have been produced, always in very small quantities and with extreme attention to quality and execution.

Adorned with 36 rainbow-hued sapphires on the bezel and 56 diamonds set on the lugs and crown guards, the dial features diamond-set indexes to complete the superlative and vibrant Daytona. With tremendous efforts to source the world’s highest quality of gems, each stone is cut specifically to be fitted on the bezel, with each gemstone examined thoroughly for its cut, clarity and most importantly, colour. Hence, with its tedious process resulting in an extremely low production of all Rolex gem-set pieces, with the Rainbow being one of the toughest to execute.

Today, the Daytona Rainbow family has been released in yellow gold, white gold and pink gold. Marking the 60th anniversary of the Daytona this year in 2023, rare and special Daytona models including the present example are highly demanded in the market. A true icon and the first of them do have gone under the rainbow treatment, the present ref. 116598RBOW from circa 2012 is complete with its original guarantee and presentation box. A perfect way to celebrate the important anniversary of one of the most beloved wristwatches of all time.

The Cellini Moonphase entered the Rolex catalogue in 2017 as their first timepiece with a moon phase since the 1950s. For most of the firm’s history, the Cellini line has been neglected despite being just as, if not more, well executed as their robust signature wristwatches. Notably, Rolex announced the retirement of the Cellini Collection in 2023. Succeeding it, the firm had just released the new Perpetual ref. 1908 this year, featuring classical overtones borrowed from this line of traditional and elegant timepieces.

The Cellini Moonphase is driven by the automatic cal. 3195 and is a highly reliable movement. Functionally foolproof, the moon phase can be easily manipulated via the pusher at 8 o’clock. Luckily for highflyers, the hour and date hands are also independently adjustable, so time zones can be changed without affecting its precision.

Overall, the present example is a truly understated timepiece, offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. Seeing as the demand for dress watches is soaring in recent months, this opportunity to acquire a tastefully executed, technically sound and aesthetically pleasing Rolex timepiece is not to be missed. In addition, the present example is also the first Cellini Moonphase to be presented in PHILLIPS.
