The Rolex ref. 6062 “Stelline” is described as fresh to market and essentially a single-owner watch, with a patinated case showing blue and green hues.
The F.P. Journe Chronometre à Résonance "Régence" features a white-gold engraved dial fitted by Journe himself, with only three pink-gold Régence dials in existence.
The Patek Philippe ref. 1436 in steel is noted for its strong case and fascinating history, having been previously overlooked before achieving over CHF 3,000,000 in 2015.
A Tiffany-signed Patek Philippe ref. 1436 in steel and yellow gold is also being offered, with research supporting the dial's authenticity.
Two early Patek Philippe ref. 5004 split-second chronographs are highlighted: one in platinum with a silver Arabic dial and an early block-style split-second bridge, and another in white gold with a rare black dial and a long crown.
The Patek Philippe ref. 2497 “Gumbiner”-signed watch is noted for its unusual signature placement and its previous sale at Christie's Hong Kong in 2019.
