Delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the date of manufacture of the present timepiece in 1983 and its subsequent date of sale on 25th October 1984.

Since its introduction more than 47 years ago, the Patek Philippe Nautilus unveiled in 1976 altered the idea of an luxury sports watch in steel and truly revolutionize the landscape within the watch industry. The opus drawn by the legendary Gérald Genta 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. The quick sketch of his became a true timeless horological masterpiece that is now more popular than ever to be known as the “Jumbo” Nautilus ref. 3700. Housed in the heart of the 42mm diameter watch is the calibre 28-255C taking blueprints from the JaegerLeCoultre 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.

The production of the ref. 3700 was segmented into two main series with early examples (1976-1982) stamped with ref. 3700/1 whilst later examples from 1982-1990 are stamped with 3700/11. Early examples of the model featured a slightly wider bracelet measuring 16mm whilst later examples is tapered down to 14mm.

Extremely well-preserved, the present Jumbo with full gold livery belongs to the earlier production of the ref. 3700/11. Previously unknown, this gold nugget is the 26th yellow gold example known, bearing a serial number of 2'808’645 and a movement of 1’310’855. Boasting a stunning case with desired bevels and sharp hallmarks beneath the lugs, the gold bracelet remains rigid and tight. Further confirmed by the Patek Phillipe Extract from the Archives of its date of manufacture in 1983, the present timepiece was subsequently sold on 25th October 1984. Impressively well-preserved, this sports watch with an extra flare of extravagance is an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the founding references of the most desirable sports watches in history.

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.

While the entire reference has appreciated in value over the years due to its iconic status being the last ever to feature an out-sourced movement, some examples from various series has proved to separate itself from the rest making them extremely rare and highly sought-after by collectors. 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 colour 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 “espresso-like” hue earning its nickname the “Darth Vader”.

The present example is one of those rare birds that has developed a dark and intense espresso-like tropical registers. Bearing a “W” serial, the present example from circa 1995 is offered in excellent overall condition and is further complete with its full set of accessories with a guarantee stamped by a local Hong Kong retailer.

The Rolex Day-Date dates back almost seven decades when it was first released in 1956 and remains one of the backbones of the firm today. It sets itself apart from the Submariner, GMT-Master and Daytona as the brand’s most sophisticated, elegant wristwatch and has graced the wrists of great influencers regarding important historical figures. The design and aesthetics have evolved to adapt to the updated preferences of collectors over the years.

This classic was the first to display a full-day aperture at 12 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock. Instantly recognised as the “President”, the semi-circular link bracelet arguably is as iconic as the watch itself. In 1959, the original references 6510 and 6511 were substituted by the famed ref. 1803 with a sporty 36mm diameter case and a fluted bezel, offered in precious metals. Rolex then introduced a new generation in 1977, powered by the cal. 3055 with a quickset date function. The movement was once again upgraded in 1988 with the cal. 3155, which ultimately powers the present timepiece, and allows the foolproof quickset of both the date and day. At the turn of the millennium, the 118 thousand series was developed, allowing Rolex to give the model different personalities through playing with an array of dial variants.

Originally sold by the famed Swiss-based jeweller, Bucherer, the present Day-Date is a charismatic yellow gold ref. 18368 boasts a dark and handsome Onyx hard-stone dial, topped with a blinding gem-set bezel with 24 baguette diamonds. The contrast between the warm-toned case and the cool-toned dial depicts a powerful aesthetic further enhanced by minimal graphics.

Offered in excellent overall condition, the present Day-Date is a timepiece with a panache and is ideal for everyday wear.

Literature

For a similar example in platinum with diamond hour markers, see Patek Philippe Wristwatches by M. Huber and A. Banbery, Volume 2, Second Edition, page 158, plate 237.

Boasting distinct Patek Philippe proportions, the ref. 2429 is highly coveted amongst collectors for its baroque design with unusual elongated, stepped claw lugs. Made in very small quantities, this reference enjoyed a short production period of five years only, between 1948 and 1953.

The present platinum specimen is paired with an elegantly aged silvered dial with factory diamond-set indexes, rendering this watch one of Patek Philippe’s most exclusive creations from the post-war era. To the best of our knowledge, the present ref. 2429 is not only fresh-to-the-market, but is also the 9th out of the twelve platinum examples to be identified bearing this configuration. The vintage appeal of this beautifully preserved wristwatch is further enhanced by its slightly patinated silvered dial, topped with a set of feuille hands and small seconds hand that perfectly complements its case.

Delivered with an Extract from the Archives, it is confirmed that this ref. 2429 was manufactured in 1951 and was subsequently sold by Beyer on 5th December 1951, according to its Beyer Chronometrie Certificate.

With distinctive Bauhaus sleekness, the Patek Philippe ref. 3483 was introduced in 1963 and was only produced in stainless steel for a short period of time. The case design is incredibly clean, featuring angular lugs that wear like a dream on the wrist, while sporting a flat bezel with the perfect ratios to compliment the classic 35mm diameter case.

Boasting a stunning silvered sunburst dial, the lustrous canvas is topped with matching white gold baton indexes that exude a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’, further enhancing its understated timeless appeal. The present timepiece is driven by the then-favourite manual winding cal. 27 SC and is further stamped with a Geneva seal, designating its unbeatable quality.

According to our research, the present ref, 3483 is the 28th known example with the same configuration and is offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. This fine and attractive staple is destined to be worn permanently under the cuff every day.

Property from an important Asian Collector 重要亞洲私人收藏

The ref. 3450 was launched in 1981 and succeeded the ref. 3448 as the next in line in the family of Patek Philippe automatic perpetual calendar wristwatches. Adhering strongly to the design codes of its predecessor, it discretely features an inconspicuous aperture at 4 o’clock that indicates the leap year without disturbing the beautiful proportions of the otherwise clean canvas. The first series displays the leap years with a simple red disk and Arabic numerals, while the second, as per the present example, are fitted with Roman I, II, III and IV leap year indication.

Before the ref. 3450, earlier perpetual calendar watches required a rigorous synchronization procedure to manually identify the leap year before advancing to the current year in the cycle. The present reference was the inaugural serially produced model with a leap year indication, equipped with an updated, foolproof calendar setting mechanism. In addition, its case back is slightly smaller and fitted with a "lip" allowing its wearer to easily access the movement if needed.

Drawing from the ref. 3448 which dates back to 1962, the case design of this reference is an ode to the timeless overall aesthetic, featuring a clean uncluttered dial coupled with a sculpted case defined by straight, angular lugs. Framed in a distinctively large, sloped bezel, the polished and satin-finished case resembles a “big pan”, resulting in its famous Italian nickname, the “Padellone”.

Building upon the highly regarded cal. 27-460, the ref. 3450 is driven by the upgraded cal. 27-460QB that incorporates a perpetual calendar function (Quantième Bissextile) into the original automatic movement. This calibre represented the final but almost unknown evolution of the famous cal. 12-600, Patek Philippe’s first automatic movement from 1953, made for the Calatrava. While waiting for Rolex’s patent on the automatic rotors to expire, the firm was quietly redesigning their in-house self-winding movement that eventually outperformed its ancestor. After decades of R&D, the new and improved cal. 27-460 was finally introduced and the cal. 27-460QB certainly attests to the firm’s mechanical prowess as the most complex variant of the last evolution of this highly progressive vintage automatic movement.

Having enjoyed a short but sweet four-year production run, only an estimated 248 examples of the yellow gold (with two white gold examples) ref. 3450 has been identified, rendering it as one of the rarest Patek Philippe perpetual calendar references ever manufactured in series.

With the ref. 3450 known to be discontinued in 1985 to welcome the launch of the ref. 3940 perpetual calendar, the present timepiece manufactured on 11th March 1985 could very likely be part of the final batch of the production of the shortly lived reference. Through research, it is believed that the present example is the 94th publicly known in the market from the 2nd series in yellow gold.

A remarkable ‘time-capsule’ condition timepiece, the present ref. 3450 exhibits razor-sharp bevels from the bezel down to all lugs, even better, the two hallmarks on top are deep and crisp like it was stamped yesterday. Ticking all the boxes and delivered with its Certificate of Origin and complete set of accessories further elevates its attractiveness as one of the highly sought-after collectible of today.

One of the most brilliant watchmakers of his generation, Daniel Roth first worked for Audemars Piguet in the late 1960s. It was in 1973 that he changed the face of modern horology when he joined Breguet, then a brand on the verge of bankruptcy that only made a handful of timepieces. Roth recreated wristwatches directly inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s pocket watches, producing some of the first modern perpetual calendar and tourbillon wristwatches. Roth left Breguet in 1987 to start his own brand.

The present lot Daniel Roth retrograde tourbillon is both a technical and visually appealing timepiece. Daniel Roth calibre DR730 is powering this watch. At the time of release was the brand’s smallest tourbillon created, fitted with a highly detailed finished dial that highlights the immense depth of the tourbillon that allows the wearer to appreciate Daniel Roth’s intricate finishing fully.

With the unmistakable case design and beautiful movement, it is a Daniel Roth piece worth having.

Garnering attention with its expressive and the now iconic double ellipse cased wristwatches, Daniel Roth timepieces have become highly popular amongst collectors radar in recent years. Creating a niche of its own with remarkable designs and intricate finishings, early creations by Roth has become harder and harder to come by today. Belonging to the early THG era (The Hour Glass Group), the present Daniel Roth signed chronograph is graced with the DNA of Roth’s signature features, even better, the remarkable works can be admire directly from the open-worked dial. Available in precious metal from platinum, pink, yellow and white gold, the model was paired with different coloured dials. Perhaps one of the most desirable option, the present white gold example is fitted with an exceptional salmon dial that provides great contrast. The depth is superbly displayed where the wearer can admire and enjoy the intricacies of the workings of the chronograph. In fact the movement has been inversed as for the column wheel and chronographic functions to be visible on the dial side rather than the caseback. With the recent announcement of the revival of the brand under LVMH management, collectors are once again excited for the possibilities from the brand starting from the new released Tourbillon Souscription. A great opportunity to acquire a rare and early wonderfully preserved example, this chronograph also comes with its original certificate stamped Daniel Roth & Gérald Genta Haute Horlogerie S.A that corresponds to the THG era.

To celebrate the brand’s 185th birthday in 2018, Jaeger-LeCoultre released a stunning limited edition Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface in platinum. Only 50 pieces were made for the occasion. The present reference is a unique vision of the maison’s iconic Reverso model, bringing together the flying tourbillon with the Duoface concept, two techniques that represent absolute sophistication.

The design of the Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface has been completely revamped, resulting in an entirely new layout so that all the various components can fit into a platinum case measuring a mere 9.15 mm. The result is two hand-fittings in a single movement brought together with a grand complication, a challenge that remains formidable to achieve.

Equipped with the manually wound cal. 847, this impressive timepiece is a show of exclusivity down to the very few number of models produced, each representing a pure expression of unique watchmaking expertise. Designed with stylistic codes borrowed from Art Deco—the same that have characterised the legendary Reverso ever since its creation in 1931—this new opus pays homage to the original models with an impeccable level of respect.

The present example is numbered 50 and offered in excellent condition, further accompanied by its guarantee and presentation box.
