It was created as a prototype for the new line, as indicated by the movement number, P01. In fact, the case also bears the first serial number, B007-P01 and served to house the newly developed in-house caliber LF 230.01, while it was tested on the wrist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe movement has been upgraded with the latest improvements, to match the final production design, ensuring reliability and accuracy. This rare prototype watch is in excellent condition, has \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/interview-laurent-ferrier\" title=\"Read our interview with Laurent Ferrier in our Journal\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLaurent Ferrier\u003c\/a\u003e's exceptional precision, being certified as a chronometer by the Observatoire de Besançon, and is guaranteed for authenticity. It comes as a full set, in its original box, with the certificate from Laurent Ferrier included with it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe slate grey dial is made of solid silver, with the centre having a subtle vertical satin-brushed finish and is surrounded by the circular motif of the minute track register. The streamlined, applied teardrop hour-markers, the “assegai-shaped” hour and minute hands and the counterpoised baton seconds hand, are made of 18-carat white gold, all characteristic of Laurent Ferrier's classic fluid forms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese free-flowing lines are only interrupted by the date aperture at three o'clock, the sub-seconds register at six o'clock, and the 24-hour home-time window at nine o'clock. The latter is not linked to the date function, making it a sensible take on what a GMT should do, referencing the home-time only, but not the date. Consequently, it is the central hands that show the local time, and these can be incrementally adjusted in both directions. This allows for the smooth and easy transition between time zones, a rare quality even amongst traveller watches. The combination of a clean design and this ease-of-adjustment, makes this unique Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller both easily readable and easily handled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch has a round case that is exceptionally, made of stainless steel. At the time of manufacture, Laurent Ferrier did not manufacture any watches in stainless steel, unless they were specially-commissioned pièces uniques. As this test-watch was never intended for sale, there was no need to make the case out of anything other than steel. It measures 41 mm and features two pushers at eight and ten o'clock, to change the central hands. The bottom one sets the time backwards and the upper one forwards, and thanks to small notches, they can be comfortably adjusted. This Galet Traveller has a ball-shaped crown and elegantly flowing lugs, distinctly in the Laurent Ferrier style. The watch comes on a brown Laurent Ferrier alligator strap with an 18-carat white gold deployant buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the front, the case-back is covered by a sapphire crystal, to reveal the engraved \"PROTOTYPE No 01\" movement. The three bridges, bearing the Genevan striped motif, allow for a great view of the stunning calibre. The self-winding movement is controlled by Laurent Ferrier's unidirectional, shock-absorbing, oscillating, micro- rotor, guaranteeing a chronometer's precision and longevity. Its off-centre position immediately captures the viewer's attention, with its beautiful 18-carat gold guilloché finishing set against the backdrop of the circular grain of the main-plate. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo allow for the dual-time function, the calibre LF 230.01 took two years to design. It has 80 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Though the bridge is engraved with \"THIRTY-FIVE (35) JEWELS\", it is actually a 44-jewel automatic movement. The inconsistency arises from the fact that watch was created during the testing phase, but subsequently upgraded to a higher jewel count. The watch beats at a rate of 21,600 A\/h and has a depth rating of 30 metres. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrototypes are almost never put on the market by manufacturers, with most staying in the brands' museums and collections.

This rare Moonshine was created as a pièce unique ( Ref. No. 6) by the independent watchmaker, Stepan Sarpaneva, with a sandblasted Korona case and stunning, open case-back. The watch comes as a full set, with its original box and papers, and is guaranteed for authenticity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stainless steel, \"Korona\" case, a trademark of the watchmaker, measures 42 mm and is 10.2 mm thick, fitting very smoothly on the wrist. On top of this, comes the steel, open \"skeleton\" dial, featuring the iconic Sarpaneva face of the moon, made of oxidised silver. The serious-looking moon has a deep countenance, leaving it up to wearer's interpretation as to what it might represent, making it a statement piece on the wrist. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bold design does not end here; time and the moon-phase are revealed through the skeletonised steel aperture below the moon. It tells the time via one of the rotating discs with Arabic numerals, that moves around the periphery of the dial. The time can read in the lower section, through the luminous pointed arrow at six o'clock, with bars for fifteen-minute, and stars for thirty-minute increments. The second rotating disc, with alternating luminous and black quadrants, show the phases of the moon, turning around in 29.5 days, and revealing the shape of the moon through the aperture. This Sarpaneva Korona Moonshine comes on a taupe alligator strap, and an extra strap with a hidden deployant clasp from Sarpaneva. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Korona Moonshine is powered by the extensively modified Soprod A10 25-jewel automatic movement, beating at a rate of 28,800 A\/h. Stepan Sarpaneva favours this movement, and modified it so that the mainplate includes phases of the moon. Mechanically, it is linked to what would be the date function, hence it can be manipulated via the crown. It also features a classic Sarpaneva, skeletonised, steel rotor with two white gold masses and yet another, single hand-engraved moon face. The movement has 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound and has a depth rating of 50 metres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eA+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e12 months full\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eoriginal box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003ePaperwork:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eoriginal paperwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003enow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eUK Delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003efree next day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eOverseas delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e3-5 working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eReturns:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e£7,950\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sarpaneva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17655540483,"sku":"CON AG SS S206","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/buy-Sarpaneva-Korona-Moonshine-Pieces-Uniques-automatic-steel-preowned-authentic-luxury-watch-for-sale-at-WATCH-XCHANGE-London_e7084946-2350-4fee-b6f3-4a4d46fdc868.jpg?v=1638794150"},{"product_id":"rolex-gmt-master-tiffany-dial-16750-steel-watch","title":"GMT Master 16750 | Tiffany dial | Steel","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eGMT Master with Tiffany dial - 16750\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eautomatic Cal. 3075\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e38 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBracelet\/strap:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel Rolex bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eDate, GMT, Chronometer, Hours, Minutes, Center Seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRotating Bezel, Screw-Down Crown, Luminescence\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWater resistance:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis vintage, stainless steel Rolex GMT Master (ref. 16750 - Cal. 3075) watch has a rare \"Tiffany dial\".

While Rolex co-branded with several companies, the relationship with Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. was by far the most well-known and prolific - and the resulting watches are by far the most coveted ones. The reason is partly due to the fact that while Patek Philippe continues their relationship with the American retailer (in fact it is the only one they ever had), Rolex stopped to co-sign, as well as to sell their watches in their store in the early 1990s. As a direct consequence, the \"Tiffany dials\" became ever-more collectable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stainless steel, round case measures 38 mm and it comes on a stainless steel Rolex bracelet with a deployant clasp.

It comes a full set with box, papers and hangtag. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFirst unveiled by Patek Philippe in the 70’s and designed by Gerald Genta, who incidentally designed the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak amongst others, the Nautilus has become a cultural icon due to its distinctive features and its role as a pioneer for high end luxury sport watches.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis 5980A watch features a flyback chronograph function and is housed in a 40.5mm case. It has a blue gradient dial, composed of different shades starting with a lighter blue at the centre and darkening as it reaches the perimeter. The dial is further composed of horizontally embossed lines, adding depth and creating different shades of blue as it reflects light from different sources. The gold, applied index markers have white gold surrounds with a luminous coating in the centre and consistent with the markers, the baton shaped hour and minute hands are similarly coated and made of gold. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt 6 o’clock lies a single subdial that contains both the 60 minute counter on the outside and the 12 hour counter on the inside for the chronograph function with the longer minute counter hand having a red pointer to distinguish it from the shorter hour hand. The chronograph pushers located at 2 and 4 o’clock sit discreetly and blends in well with the overall form of the Nautilus shape.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe case and bracelet of this watch is excellently finished, with every edged bevelled and polished. Moreover, the mirror polished centre links of the bracelet contrasting with the brushed surfaces really shows off the quality of work in this watch. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 5980A is powered by Patek Philippe’s in-house caliber CH 28-520. It is composed of a 21k gold rotor due to the heavier properties of gold, allowing a more efficient self-winding system. Furthermore, the movement has a Breguet overcoil balance spring, and a four arm Gyromax balance beating at 28,800 oscillations per hour. This Nautilus has the Patek Philippe seal, guaranteeing its accuracy to -3\/+2 seconds a day and ensuring excellent finishing. \u003cbr\u003e \n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e2008\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eA+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e12 months full\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eoriginal box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePaperwork:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eoriginal paperwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003enow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eUK Delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003efree next day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOverseas delivery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e3-5 working days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eReturns:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e14 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePrice:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e£33,500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patek Philippe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19677941059,"sku":"CSVSS P213","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/buy-Patek-Philippe-Chronograph-Nautilus-5980A-1A-001-pre-owned-automatic-steel-luxury-watch-for-sale-online-at-WATCH-XCHANGE-London14_6593c8c4-a924-4b11-b26d-621214c50883.jpg?v=1643628702"},{"product_id":"buy-patek-philipe-worldtimer-5575g-moonphase-watch","title":"World Timer Moonphase 5575G | 175th Anniversary | White Gold","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePatek Philippe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWorld Timer Moonphase Ref. 5575G\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAutomatic Cal.\u003cspan\u003e240 HU LU\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ewhite gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCase size:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e39.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003esapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBracelet material:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ePatek Philippe Black Crocodile Strap with white-gold deployant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eWorldtimer, Lunar Calendar, Hours, Minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e175th Anniversary Edition Engraving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis stunning, limited edition 18k white gold Patek Philippe World Time Moon Ref. 5575G is in mint condition and comes as a full set, with box, papers, commemorative medal and setting stylus.

The local timezone can be easily changed by the pusher at ten o’clock. When the pusher is pressed, three things happen simultaneously: the hour hand advances by one hour, while the city and twenty-four-hour disks move counter-clockwise by one time zone. If the hands previously indicated 10:15 as the local time for London, they now display 11:15 for Geneva.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOrdinarily, the dial would have a guilloche center, but this celebration piece features a photo-realistic moonphase, set on a starry background. The moon is an artistic feat, being composed of two, extremely thin, superposed glass disks with fine greyish white gradations, to produce the craters. The moonphase follows the lunar cycle, and is accurate for 122 years before it has to be adjusted by one day.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe case sized at 39.8mm features bold turned lugs, and it is in the quintessentially Patek ‘Calatrava’ shape. The hands, new to Patek Philippe, are distinctive in their shape, especially the hour hand inspired by the Southern Cross constellation, and in keeping with the overall theme of the watch. Interestingly, as a commemoration to the watchmaking of Patek Philippe, the timezone usually occupied by Paris has been replace with Geneva. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by the ultra thin self-winding Calibre 240 HU LU, this movement was exclusively designed to combine the moonphase and worldtime complications.

The two apertures on either side are used to differentiate night and day for both local, and home time. Furthermore, there is a date function at 6 o’clock that follows the home time.

Winning the GPHG in the complication category in 2006, the Endeavour was the independent watchmaker’s first watch when the company was re-launched in 2005.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the Endeavour perpetual calendar was to create a tribute to classic styling, and combine this with a number of highly innovative features. The nod to the past was largely achieved through the classic, round, bevel-free case, sized at 40.8 mm, and rich ardoise-grey dial. The movement and components are in-turn, hand-finished and decorated, exhibiting the finest skills of traditional watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll that being said, the forward-thinking, innovative nature of H Moser \u0026amp; Cie is clearest through the calendar complication, incorporating a short central arrow hand which uses the 12 hour indices to indicate the month, forgoing the traditional window display. The unique architecture of the Endeavour perpetual calendar is further exemplified through the discreet positioning of the leap year indicator, concealed on the movement side of the watch. The watch is made all the more enjoyeable to wear on the wrist, thanks to an elegant, curved glass case-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Endeavour features H. Moser’s innovative interchangeable escapement module. The escapement was developed to simplify the adjustment, cleaning and servicing of the watch, enabling a watchmaker to remove the existing escapement, clean and oil the rest of the movement before installing a new pre-adjusted module. The in-house caliber HMC 341 movement is a large, 15 ligne movement that beats at 18,000 vibrations per hour. The double-barrel construction allows for a seven day power reserve, which is impressive for a manually-wound perpetual calendar. This caliber also features hacking seconds for accurate time-setting. A Double Pull crown allows the watch to continually indicate the correct hour, minute and second without interruption when adjusting the date or additional displays. Unlike most other calendars, the HMC 341 also uses an impressive flash calendar feature, automatically changing the date in a fraction of a second on the stroke of midnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the papers are unstamped it dates from circa 2010 and has a beautiful ardoise grey dial. Its hidden depth and character is evident when observed in different lighting; the subtle sunburst pattern creating a mixture of tones depending on the viewing angle. An up\/down power-reserve indictor sits at 9 o’clock, along with a large day window at 3 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platinum case is a very wearable 40.8 mm in diameter. At 11.1 mm in height, the overall depth of the watch feels excellent balanced.

It comes as a full set, with its original box and punched-paperwork.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rolex Oyster was first introduced in 1926. Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use. The watch famously crossed the English Channel in 1927, around the neck of English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze, surviving the 10-hour long swim undamaged. A front page newspaper advertisement followed, testifying “ten hours of submersion under the most trying conditions” failing to adversely affect its perfect timekeeping, whilst pioneering the modern concept of sports celebrity marketing. In 1931, Rolex patented the world's first self-winding mechanism with a perpetual rotor, today at the heart of every modern automatic watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe innovation which led to the creation of the “Oyster” case was a screw down, moisture-proof winding crown, patented by Swiss inventors Perregaux and Perret in 1925. Exposure of the winding stem had always been a clear vulnerability and combined with Rolex’s development of the two-piece, screw-down case with a rubber gasket, the hermetically sealed case became a reality. The “Oyster” name is often associated with a particular style bracelet accompanying many Rolex Oyster watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial of this Rolex Oyster Date is in exceptionally good condition, has a brushed silver finish, applied steel index markers, with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE' text referenced on it. The tritium index plots and baton hands have aged to a beautiful yellow patina. It also has its Rolex crown and comes equipped with its original folded-link Rolex Oyster bracelet and clasp. This particular case dates to 1974 (serial 315 XXXX). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 1570 ‘Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer’ grade automatic movement. The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH. A distinctive characteristic of Rolex’s Cal. 1570 is the use of brightly-colored, pink reverser gears in the automatic winding module. The unique colouration is created using Teflon, a branded form of Polytetrafluoroethylene, as a coating, resulting in far less friction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex, owing much of their success to a unique market niche that the Oyster case helped define.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eOyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 1570\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003edate, hours, minutes, center seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eunrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e35 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex folded-link bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e1974\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003efull set - box and papers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Oyster case is in excellent condition.

The first generation, displayed a matte black dial with tritium hour markers (much like the reference 1675). These o\u003cspan\u003eriginal matte dials were frequently replaced with later gloss dials when sent for servicing, making matte dials that much rarer. Interestingly, one characteristic that the matte 16750s share is an exceptionally tall, elongated coronet. \u003c\/span\u003e The later, second variation incorporated a glossy black dial with the indexes surrounded by white gold, typically associated with modern iterations of the Rolex GMT. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial is in exceptionally good condition, has a matte black finish with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL - GMT-MASTER' text referenced on it.

The calibre 3075 additionally features a GMT function (dual time zone) and quickset date feature; the latter making its GMT debut in the 16750, adding a significant improvement in convenience over the reference 1675.

According to Manfred Rössler, in his important work on the history of the brand, only 700 examples of this 18k gold G381 were made between 1969 and 1972.\u003c\/span\u003e And - carrying the Calibre 3019 PHC - this piece belongs to the prestigious line of the first-ever automatic chronographs. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been a continuing and passionate debate about which manufacturer developed world’s first self-winding chronograph, amongst the consortium of Heuer, Buren-Hamilton, Breitling, Dubois-Depraz and Seiko. Much of the argument has subsided in recent years, thanks to almost a decade’s tireless documentation by the original sports-chronograph collectors, such as Jeff Stein, founder of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\" title=\"Click here to see Jeff Stein's page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOn The Dash\u003c\/a\u003e, and author of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\/docs\/Project99.html\" title=\"Click here to read the history of automatic chronographs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProject 99 - The Race to Develop the World's First Automatic Chronograph\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the latter, Zenith was the first to announce the innovation. Having begun research and development as early as 1962, it debuted a working prototype at a pre-emptive press conference in Switzerland in early 1969. Rivals entered global production in August of 1969, while Zenith made the 3019 PHC publicly available in October the same year. Zenith proudly claims the “El Primero” to be the first-ever automatic chronograph, emphasizing its full integration and completeness - with a column-wheel and central rotor on ball bearings - as opposed to a being a modular addition. The name “El Primero” by no coincidence translates to “the first”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debate that may never truly be extinguished, but the “El Primero” movement will forever keep its claim as a first. It certainly had a huge impact on horological development. Other than being the first fully-integrated automatic chronograph, the movement was also a pioneer of high-frequency. Beating at a rate of 36,000 A\/h, vs. at 19,800 A\/h of its ‘Calibre 11’ competitors, the 5hz beat rate allows measurement up to 1\/10th of a second, in comparison to up to just one-fifth of a second (at a rate of 2.5hz) of its contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, Zenith resurrected the “El Primero” line, reissuing the calibre 3019PHC (as the calibre 40.0), and it is still in production today under the designation “calibre 400”. One of the most widely respected Rolex Daytona references, the 16500, used the base calibre 400 in its re-designed flagship sports watch in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning example of the Zenith El Primero Ref. G381 is from 1969\/70 (With serial number 200 XXXX). Whilst the aesthetics are undeniably attractive, it is the condition that stands out. Vintage sports watches typically have tell-tale signs of being over-worn. However this rare G381 has been remarkably well preserved. The round, yellow gold case measures 38 mm in diameter (48 mm from lug to lug) and has large chronograph pushers and the original, signed, fluted crown, each retaining their definition. Both the case and the straight-line lugs are sharp and thick, and the bezel beautifully grained with sunburst patterning. The unique reference number is visible on the screw-down case-back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly to the case, the silver dial with black sub-registers is in excellent condition, has applied, faceted gold index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the matchstick handset and index hour markers have aged to a creamy yellow patina. Further to this, the watch also features a red paddle chronograph hand, displayed on many Zenith El Primero examples of the era, whilst the dial is surrounded by a silver tachymeter scale. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the above-mentioned self-winding 3019 PHC calibre, considered by many as one of the most famous column-wheel operated chronographs of all time. The movement features 31 jewels and a bi-directional central rotor, beating at 36,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 50-hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with a grey suede strap and matching, vintage gold Zenith buckle, this piece makes and excellent dress and sports watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eZenith\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eEl Primero Ref.

Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use. The watch famously crossed the English Channel in 1927, around the neck of English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze, surviving the 10-hour long swim unstirred. A front page newspaper advertisement followed, testifying “ten hours of submersion under the most trying conditions” failing to adversely affect its perfect timekeeping, whilst pioneering the modern concept of sports celebrity marketing. In 1931, Rolex patented the world's first self-winding mechanism with a perpetual rotor, today at the heart of every modern automatic watch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe innovation which led to the creation of the “Oyster” case was a screw down, moisture-proof winding crown, patented by Swiss inventors Perregaux and Perret in 1925. Exposure of the winding stem had always been a clear vulnerability and combined with Rolex’s development of the two-piece, screw-down case with a rubber gasket, the hermetically sealed case became a reality. The “Oyster” name is often associated with a particular style bracelet accompanying many Rolex Oyster watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial of this Rolex Oyster Date is in exceptionally good condition, has a matte dark-grey finish, applied white gold index markers, with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE' text referenced on it. The tritium index plots and baton hands have aged to a beautiful yellow patina. It also has its Rolex crown and comes equipped with its Rolex Oyster bracelet and clasp. This particular case dates to 1979 (serial 637 XXXX).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith this example, the index markers are manufactured from white gold, indicated by the lower case Greek letter ‘sigma’ at the bottom of the dial. These small round symbols were displayed to emphasize the inherent value and investment potential of a high-quality mechanical watch, over more competitively priced quartz rivals of the period. The ‘sigma’ signature was a visual declaration of the use of precious materials, and was adopted by a number of manufactures throughout the 70’s. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 1570 ‘Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer’ grade automatic movement. The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH. A distinctive characteristic of Rolex’s Cal. 1570 is the use of brightly-colored, pink reverser gears in the automatic winding module. The unique colouration is created using Teflon, a branded form of Polytetrafluoroethylene, as a coating, resulting in far less friction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex, owing much of their success to a unique market niche that the Oyster case helped define.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eOyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 1570\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003edate, hours, minutes, center seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eunrestored 'sigma' dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e35 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex Oyster bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e1979\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Oyster case is in excellent condition.

It comes as a full set, with its box , punched-paperwork and original sales receipt from Singapore (dated 19th February, 1970). \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Rolex Oyster was first introduced in 1926. Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use. The watch famously crossed the English Channel in 1927, around the neck of English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze, surviving the 10-hour long swim undamaged. A front page newspaper advertisement followed, testifying “ten hours of submersion under the most trying conditions” failing to adversely affect its perfect timekeeping, whilst pioneering the modern concept of sports celebrity marketing. In 1931, Rolex patented the world's first self-winding mechanism with a perpetual rotor, today at the heart of every modern automatic watch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe innovation which led to the creation of the “Oyster” case was a screw down, moisture-proof winding crown, patented by Swiss inventors Perregaux and Perret in 1925. Exposure of the winding stem had always been a clear vulnerability and combined with Rolex’s development of the two-piece, screw-down case with a rubber gasket, the hermetically sealed case became a reality. The “Oyster” name is often associated with a particular style bracelet accompanying many Rolex Oyster watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial of this Rolex Oyster Date is in exceptionally good condition, has a sunburst silver finish, applied white gold index markers, with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE' text referenced on it. The tritium index plots and baton hands have aged to a beautiful yellow patina. It also has its Rolex crown and comes equipped with its original folded-link Rolex Oyster bracelet and clasp. This particular case dates to 1970 (serial 219 XXXX). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith this example, the index-markers are manufactured from white gold, indicated by the lower case Greek letter ‘sigma’ at the bottom of the dial. These small round symbols were displayed to emphasise the inherent value and investment potential of a high-quality mechanical watch, over more competitively priced quartz rivals of the period. The ‘sigma’ signature was a visual declaration of the use of precious materials, and was adopted by a number of manufactures throughout the 70’s. The index-markers on this example feature an unusual mirror-finish, further defined by the inclusion of a black surround.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 1570 ‘Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer’ grade automatic movement. The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH. A distinctive characteristic of Rolex’s Cal. 1570 is the use of brightly-coloured, pink reverser gears in the automatic winding module. The unique colouration is created using Teflon, a branded form of Polytetrafluoroethylene, as a coating, resulting in far less friction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex, owing much of their success to a unique market niche that the Oyster case helped define.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eOyster Perpetual Date Ref. 1500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 1570\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003edate, hours, minutes, centre seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eunrestored 'sigma' dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e35 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex folded-link bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e1970\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003efull set - box and papers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Oyster case is in excellent condition.

The multi-part dial is made up of two peripheral rotating scales, with the outer scale denoting the respective city, and the inner scale denoting the 24 timezones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe time that stands at twelve o’clock is the local time, with the cities to the East on the right, and the cities to the West on the left. The local timezone can be easily changed by the pusher at ten o’clock. When the pusher is pressed, three things happen simultaneously: the hour hand advances by one hour, while the city and twenty-four-hour disks move counter-clockwise by one time zone. If the hands previously indicated 10:15 as the local time for London, they now display 11:15 for Geneva.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOrdinarily, the dial would have a guilloche center, but this celebration piece features a photo-realistic moonphase, set on a starry background. The moon is an artistic feat, being composed of two, extremely thin, superposed glass disks with fine greyish white graduations, to produce the craters. The moonphase follows the lunar cycle, and is accurate for 122 years before it has to be adjusted by one day.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe case sized at 39.8mm features bold turned lugs, and it is in the quintessentially Patek ‘Calatrava’ shape. The hands, new to Patek Philippe, are distinctive in their shape, especially the hour hand inspired by the Southern Cross constellation, and in keeping with the overall theme of the watch. Interestingly, as a commemoration to the watchmaking of Patek Philippe, the timezone usually occupied by Paris has been replace with Geneva. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by the ultra thin self-winding Calibre 240 HU LU, this movement was exclusively designed to combine the moonphase and worldtime complications. It has a 22k gold micro rotor, and the overall movement is composed of 270 different parts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with all modern Patek Philippe watches, it has the Patek Philippe Seal, guaranteeing its accuracy to -3 and +2 seconds daily, keeping time better than the industry benchmark chronometer grade movements.

First unveiled by \u003cem\u003eAudemars Piguet\u003c\/em\u003e in the 1970s and designed by Gerald Genta, who incidentally designed the \u003cem\u003ePatek Philippe Nautilus\u003c\/em\u003e amongst others, the \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e Ref. \u003cem\u003e5402\u003c\/em\u003e has become a cultural icon due to its distinctive features and its role as a pioneer for high-end luxury sports watches.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early 1970s was a time of great change within the watch industry, where the concept of a luxury watch in steel was a truly revolutionary idea. \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e ‘A-series’ watches from the early 1970s are highly-sought by collectors, owing to their rarity and unique place in the brand’s history. The reference \u003cem\u003e5402 Royal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e is often referred to as ‘Jumbo’, on account of its relatively imposing size for the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAudemars Piguet Royal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e debuted in 1972, as the most expensive steel watch ever made. The \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e was not only unprecedented in its design, but also in its initial pricing to consumers. Once the \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e was released, the retail price for the watch was 3,750 Swiss Francs, more than four times the cost of any other steel watch of the period. As a result of the watches’ groundbreaking design, the very first ‘A-series’ examples were limited to just 1000 pieces, initially getting off to a slow start. It would be two years before another 1000 ‘A-series’ \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e examples would see the light of day, completing an exceptionally limited series of 2000 ever produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the eve of Basel’s 1971 fair, Gerald Genta was tasked with the creation of an “unprecedented steel watch\" – his night's work, today considered one of the masterpieces of his career. \u003cem\u003eAudemars Piguet\u003c\/em\u003e managing director of the time, Georges Golay, contacted Mr. Genta with a view to designing a totally new, steel, waterproof sports watch – understanding that the waterproof technology would require innovative strategy. Gerald Genta’s inspiration for the iconic \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e architecture was to replicate that of the scaphander diving helmet, on the watch case, complete with eight screws and the joint visible on the cases’ exterior. As Mr. Genta recounts “I was given the ‘green light’ straight away to begin work on the prototype. I completed the prototype myself within a year. In 1970, I designed the watch. And it took one more year before industrial production, which finally came about in 1972”. Prototypes for the \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e are said to have been initially manufactured from white gold, as the softer material was easier to sculpt and manipulate the varying degree of angular, brushed and polished surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis steel, \u003cem\u003eRoyal Oak A-series\u003c\/em\u003e watch is the perfect balance between utilitarian function and elegant design. The case and bracelet are excellently finished, with angular, beveled and polished edges. The polished screws, bezel and case edges fantastically-contrast with the brushed surface of the case and bracelet. At 39mm in diameter, and only 7mm thick, this \u003cem\u003eA-series Royal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e case is a beautiful twist of perspectives and size. The outer-case back correctly displays the unique serial number (A16XX), with matching last 3-digits on the inner case-back. Usually attributed to B-series examples, the inner case-back of this late A-series example correctly displays the serial number below the ‘Audemars Piguet’ signature, unique to later A-series examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis A-Series is distinguished by the placement of the ‘AP’ logo above 6 o’clock, compared to later examples typically bearing the ‘AP’ logo at 12 o’clock. The weaving pattern of the ‘tapisserie’ pattern dial, forming the square and lozenge motif, alters the deep grey coloration of the dial as it reflects light from different angles, with subtle patina around the \u003cem\u003eAudemars Piguet\u003c\/em\u003e logo. The dial further features a date aperture at 3 o’clock and luminous white gold hands and hour markers. The placement of the ‘Audemars Piguet’ lettering is consistent with that of an A-series dial, within the range of its unique designation – the first ‘A’ of ‘Audemars' also slightly larger than the second ‘A’, in its spacing inside the letter itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A-series\u003cem\u003e Royal Oak\u003c\/em\u003e is powered by the ultra-thin \u003cem\u003eAP\u003c\/em\u003e caliber \u003cem\u003e2121\u003c\/em\u003e, derived from \u003cem\u003eJaeger-LeCoultre\u003c\/em\u003e’s legendary ultra-thin \u003cem\u003eJLC 920\u003c\/em\u003e calibre movement.

P. Journe ‘Octa Calendrier’ watch is in mint condition and has perfect mechanical functionality. The watch comes as a full set, with box and papers from the manufacture. In 2002, the ‘Octa Calendrier’ by independent watchmaker François-Paul Journe won the ‘Special Jury Prize’ at the GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève) - the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2004, Journe began manufacturing movements from 18-carat gold, having developed the brand sufficiently to further the manufacturing process. Interestingly, it is François-Paul Journe's earliest brass-movement pieces which command more interest from collectors. It is estimated that only 2000 brass-movement examples were ever produced, across all lines, and were manufactured exclusively between 2001 and circa 2004. Brass-movement F. P Journe pieces are highly-sought by collectors, owing to their rarity and unique place in the brand’s history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Octa Calendrier is quintessentially an F.P Journe, in both its design language and movement. Housed in a classical 38 mm dress watch case, it is made distinctive by F.P. Journe’s signature ‘flat crown’ with a rope-like pattern. The white gold dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed below the two subsidiary seconds (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. To the left of the dial, the annual calendar indicates the date in two windows, with an automatically advancing date for months with 29, 30 and 31 days. Overall, the dial layout is clean and highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for. Since the introduction of the first ‘Reserve de Marche’ in 2001, mechanical F. P Journe examples can been divided into two main movement types – the manually-wound ‘Souverain’ and automatic ‘Octa’ (Latin for ‘eight’ or ‘infinite’). In 2001, the ‘Octa’ debuted as the first automatic movement to deliver 120 hours of precision timekeeping through reserved-power. Each ‘Octa’ movement is designed to incorporate fully-integrated complications within the same volume. Impressively, all variations within F. P Journe’s entire ‘Octa’ collection are identical, both in diameter and thickness. The Octa Calendrier was the first wristwatch to integrate an annual calendar with a large date, and to feature a power reserve of more than 120 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis automatic, self-winding F.P. Journe caliber 1300.3 movement is rhodium-plated brass, with fausses côtes embellishments, constructed with 39 jewels and a shock absorber mechanism. It further features a straight-line lever escapement, and monometallic 4-arm balance with 4 timing weights, adjusted to 5 positions. It includes a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance spring, and an off-center bi-directional 22-carat gold guilloche rotor. The movement is engraved \"Exclusive Power Reserve System\" and \"Precision Chronometer\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe earliest works of François-Paul Journe, effortlessly blend traditional 19th-century watchmaking with modern haute-horology, in perfect harmony. Housed in a 38 mm platinum case, this F.P. Journe ‘Octa Calendrier’ is one of few pieces that represent its original, inspired design – the classic 38 mm case, since no longer in production.

The reference '1675' debuted in 1959, following the success of the original GMT, the reference 6542. Remarkably, the reference '1675' GMT-Master was produced for 20 consecutive years, making it one of the longest manufacturing runs in Rolex's history.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GMT-Master was originally created for Pan American World Airways (commonly known as ‘Pan-Am’), who sought a highly-legible, accurate and functional wristwatch, to be used by pilots for long-haul flights. In the 1950’s and 60’s, especially in North America, there was a boom in both private and commercial aviation, as the development of civil aircraft continued to grow. With pilots flying longer and longer distances, the need for an intuitive timekeeping tool, capable of displaying multiple time zones, became a necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the typical hour, minutes and seconds handset, the ‘GMT’ complication was designed to allow for setting of a fourth hand, referred to as the ‘GMT’ hand, to the local time followed by adjustment of its rotatable 24-hour bezel, to a second time zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name ‘GMT’ derives from this functionality and abbreviates 'Greenwich Mean Time' - the time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. Also known as ‘Coordinated Universal Time’, it is the basis of the world-time clock and is universally used in aviation and weather forecasting, even today, against which all time zones across the world are referenced, as well as on the International Space Station. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GMT-Master 1675, from 1971 (with serial number 338 XXXX), was one of the first to feature a hacking-seconds function, introduced to the reference in that year. The original dial is in exceptionally good condition, has a matte black finish with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL - GMT-MASTER' text referenced on it. The creamy tritium hour markers and the GMT baton hand have aged to a beautiful patina, The watch also has its iconic “Pepsi” bezel, Rolex crown and it comes equipped with its original Rolex Oyster bracelet and clasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 1575 bi-directional, self-winding movement. The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance and a KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 A\/h, with a power-reserve of 42 hours. Interestingly, some GMT-Master ‘1675’ examples display ‘1570’ engraved on the bridge of the calibre. The engraving ‘1570’, is a reference to base-calibre in which the ‘1575’ is derived from (the ‘5’, indicating the inclusion of a date function).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any design, there is a “sweet spot”; this watch hits that perfectly. The matt dial, plexi-glass and lightly faded bezel gives this example the vintage feel which is so desirable in today’s demanding market place.\u003c\/p\u003e\nViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eGMT Ref. 1675\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 1575\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003edate, GMT, hours, minutes, center seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003erotating Pepsi bezel, unrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003estainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRolex Oyster bracelet with Rolex folding clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e1981\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRolex box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nThe case is in excellent vintage condition and does not suffer from over polishing, as the lugs display clear beveling and bumps\/grazes (consistent with use).

The \u003cem\u003eDatograph Perpetual\u003c\/em\u003e, in turn, features two of the most practical modern day complications to wear on the wrist; a perpetual calendar and the now famous ‘flyback’ chronograph. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was in early 1990, when Walter Lange, possessing the vision to once again craft exceptional timepieces, formulated a plan to revive the family business in Glashütte after the collapse of the\u003cem\u003e Berlin Wall.\u003c\/em\u003e The brand has since unquestionably established itself as one of the world's leading watch brands - challenging Swiss dominance and raising the bar for both aesthetic and movement design of fine wristwatches. With German tenacity and precision, they create pieces that are elegant statements on the wrist, with hand-finished movements of the highest calibre. In 2001, the\u003cem\u003e Saxon \u003c\/em\u003emanufactory was able to re-locate back to its original, historic building in Glashütte, which housed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/collections\/all\/a-lange-sohne\" title=\"View our collection of A.

Symmetrical to this at 6 o'clock, an aperture reveals the moon phase. At 3 and 9 o’clock are two subsidiary dials, displaying a thirty-minute counter for the chronograph and the running seconds respectively. Within these sub-dials are both the day of the week and month indicators. Furthermore, lying on top are smaller sub dials, with the 3 o’clock displaying a leap year indicator and a power reserve indicator for the 9 o’clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is housed within a contemporary 41 mm pink-gold case. One of the superb elements of this watch is the pusher located at 10 o’clock, which enables the user to quickset the perpetual calendar, allowing the day, date and month to advance simultaneously. Each complication can also be set independently, using the recessed corrector buttons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular reference is manually-wound, with a sapphire display back, revealing the calibre \u003cem\u003eL952.1\u003c\/em\u003e, a completely in-house developed movement. The architecture of \u003cem\u003eA. Lange and Söhne\u003c\/em\u003e movements are perhaps their most distinctive feature, with a three dimensional aspect that is truly unique. It features a column wheel, lateral clutch, flyback chronograph movement with a perpetual calendar module built on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minute hand of the chronograph jumps in one minute increments rather than continuously moving - which allows for accurate reading of the timing function. The ‘flyback’ chronograph function allows the stop-watch to be instantaneously restarted for continuous timing, without having to stop, reset, and restart the chronograph. The \u003cem\u003eDatograph Perpetual\u003c\/em\u003e, calibre \u003cem\u003eL952.1\u003c\/em\u003e is comprised of 556 parts, with 45 jewels and has an approximate power reserve of 36 hours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The aesthetics of the movement are just as impressive as the mechanics, perhaps second to none, with chamfering and interior angles superbly hand-finished. Moreover, it features an artistic flourish, a balance cock engraved by one of \u003cem\u003eLange’s\u003c\/em\u003e master engravers. In fact, each individual watchmaker's unique engraving style can be identified as a result. The bridges and plates are made from German silver, an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc with a warm silver tone that will develop a subtle patina over time. The use of this metal, along with the hand-engraved balance cock is a signature of \u003cem\u003eA. Lange \u0026amp; Söhne\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is remarkably challenging to make an integrated chronograph movement, let alone one with flyback, instantaneous minute jump and a panorama date.

The case features a rounded bezel, thin lugs and the manufactures' signature crown, which work proportionately well together. The entire watch is polished and mirror finished, while the crown itself engraved with the Patek Philippe Calatrava Cross.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a classic Patek Philippe dial layout with three apertures at 12 o’clock telling the day, date and month respectively and a moon-phase at 6 o’clock with a 24 hour indicator surrounding it. It has a two-tone concentric dial mixing matt black and slate grey to produce a modern and elegant aesthetic. Furthermore, it has dauphine hands and centre sweeping-seconds with white gold applied index markers on the dial. Well sized, with pierced lugs and a concave bezel, it wears proportionately well on the wrist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5205G houses the self-winding caliber 324 S QA LU 24H. It is a very useful modern day movement, with complications that have an emphasis on usability. Firstly, it has an annual calendar complication, which means that the watch only needs to be set once a year in February as it takes into account 30 and 31 days in each respective month. Moreover, it is an instantaneous annual calendar, with the date apertures changing exactly at midnight, ensuring accurate reading of the date at all times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 5205G also has a 24 hour indicator to ensure ease of use when setting the annual calendar and a very accurate moonphase that deviates from the true lunar cycle by only one day every 122 years. As expected, this 5205G has everything one would expect in a modern Patek Philippe watch: A Gyromax balance wheel with a Spiromax balance spring and the Patek Philippe seal, a testing process that is far more stringent than by the industry standard COSC. It has a power reserve of 35-45 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is not known, is that Patek Philippe invented the annual calendar complication in 1996 as they realised there was a discrepancy between ordinary calendar watches that had to be set every month, and perpetual calendars which were extremely complicated. Composed of 356 parts, it is by no means a simple watch, yet it is an incredibly user-friendly timepiece that can be worn everyday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis watch comes as a full set, with box and papers, and is guaranteed for authenticity.

First unveiled by Audemars Piguet in the 1970s and designed by Gerald Genta, who incidentally designed the Patek Philippe Nautilus amongst others, the Royal Oak (ref. 5402) has become a cultural icon due to its distinctive features and its role as a pioneer for high-end luxury sports watches.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe early 1970s was a time of great change within the watch industry, where the concept of a luxury watch in steel was a truly revolutionary idea. Royal Oak ‘A-series’ watches from the early 1970s are highly-sought by collectors, owing to their rarity and unique place in the brand’s history. The reference 5402 Royal Oak is often referred to as ‘Jumbo’, on account of its relatively imposing size for the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Audemars Piguet Royal Oak debuted in 1972, as the most expensive steel watch ever made. The Royal Oak was not only unprecedented in its design, but also in its initial pricing to consumers. Once the Royal Oak was released, the retail price for the watch was 3,750 Swiss Francs, more than four times the cost of any other steel watch of the period. As a result of the watches’ groundbreaking design, the very first ‘A-series’ examples were limited to just 1000 pieces, initially getting off to a slow start. It would be two years before another 1000 ‘A-series’ Royal Oak examples would see the light of day, completing an exceptionally limited series of 2000 ever produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the eve of Basel’s 1971 fair, Gerald Genta was tasked with the creation of an “unprecedented steel watch\" – his night's work, today considered one of the masterpieces of his career. Audemars Piguet managing director of the time, Georges Golay, contacted Mr. Genta with a view to designing a totally new, steel, waterproof sports watch – understanding that the waterproof technology would require innovative strategy. Gerald Genta’s inspiration for the iconic Royal Oak architecture was to replicate that of the scaphander diving helmet, on the watch case, complete with eight screws and the joint visible on the cases’ exterior. As Mr. Genta recounts “I was given the ‘green light’ straight away to begin work on the prototype. I completed the prototype myself within a year. In 1970, I designed the watch. And it took one more year before industrial production, which finally came about in 1972”. Prototypes for the Royal Oak are said to have been initially manufactured from white gold, as the softer material was easier to sculpt and manipulate the varying degree of angular, brushed and polished surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis steel, Royal Oak A-series watch is the perfect balance between utilitarian function and elegant design. The case and bracelet are excellently finished, with angular, beveled and polished edges. The polished screws, bezel and case edges fantastically-contrast with the brushed surface of the case and bracelet. At 39mm in diameter, and only 7mm thick, this A-series Royal Oak case is a beautiful twist of perspectives and size. The outer-case back correctly displays the unique serial number (A11XX), with matching last 3-digits on the inner case-back. This A-series example also correctly displays the serial number above the ‘Audemars Piguet’ signature on the inner case-back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis A-Series is distinguished by the placement of the ‘AP’ logo above 6 o’clock, compared to later examples typically bearing the ‘AP’ logo at 12 o’clock. While this dial is an early service-replacement, the configuration retains the classic A-series appearance. The weaving pattern of the ‘tapisserie’ pattern dial, forming the square and lozenge motif, alters the deep grey coloration of the dial as it reflects light from different angles. The dial further features a date aperture at 3 o’clock and luminous white gold hands and hour-markers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A-series Royal Oak is powered by the ultra-thin AP caliber 2121, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary ultra-thin JLC 920 calibre movement. The caliber 2121 was based on the caliber 2120, an initial project of Jaeger LeCoultre in 1967, funded and contributed by Audemars Piguet, and famous for its adoption by Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. The ultra-thin automatic 2121 calibre features 36 working jewels, Gyromax balance and four ruby wheels to support the full-diameter rotor, which runs on a beryllium rail for stability. The AP calibre 2121 remains the thinnest full-rotor self-winding movement in the world, considered by many as one of the most stunningly refined and technically impressive wrist-watch movements ever made.

Since this introduction, the Datejust has become one of the most iconic and popular watches in the Rolex catalogue. It was described alongside the Rolex GMT and Submariner, in the brands marketing materials of the time as “a bit of both, and a substantial character at any level”. With its understated look and size, it offers a practical, everyday alternative to Rolex’s other highly-purposeful tools watches - Chronometer certified, waterproof, with a near-perfect aesthetic balance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Datejust combined many of Rolex’s most successful innovations, including Rolex’s two-piece, screw-down case.

The Rolex 3035 movement is the earliest iteration of the high-beat, ‘3000’ in-house system, developed and introduced in 1977. An improvement on Rolex’s 1500 series, the 3035-movement increased the balance speed from 19,800 BPH to 28,800 BPH, allowing for more accurate timekeeping.

It is headed by Laurent Ferrier himself, who worked at Patek Philippe for 40 years, finishing as their creative director.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller was first shown at Baselworld in 2013, complementing the Galet Micro-Rotor collection with a modern reinterpretation of the classic travel watch. The Galet Traveller uses a natural escapement, much like the Galet Micro-Rotor, with a power reserve of 80 hours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This model, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller Boréal with luminous sector dial, was released in early 2016. It comes in mint condition, as a full-set, with its original box and paperwork from the manufacture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Galet Traveller Boréal features a 41mm steel, bevel-free case, thin lugs and Laurent Ferrier’s signature onion-shaped crown and rounded bezel. The entire watch is polished and mirror finished, while the crown itself engraved with a pattern. Integrated on the left side of the case are two oblong push-buttons, which adjust the local time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The beige “sector dial” is inspired by timepieces from the late 1930s, with the beige Superluminova for the chapter ring, a vertical satin-brushed finish on the dial, “snail” small seconds sub-dial, and a fine, slate-grey minute track around the outer-edge. The arrow-shaped hour and minute hands are enhanced with Superluminova, with a baton-shaped seconds-hand at 6 o’clock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These free-flowing lines are only interrupted by the date aperture at three o'clock, the sub-seconds register at six o'clock, and the 24-hour home-time window at nine o'clock. The latter is not linked to the date function, making it a sensible take on what a GMT should do, referencing the home-time only, but not the date. Consequently, it is the central hands that show the local time, and these can be incrementally adjusted in both directions. This intuitive system allows the Galet Traveller Boréal to be quickly and easily adjusted. On a flight from London to New York, five pushes of the lower button would set the watch to the exact local time upon landing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like the front, the case-back is covered by a sapphire crystal, to reveal the movement. The three bridges, bearing the Genevan striped motif, allow for a good view of the stunning calibre. The self-winding movement is controlled by Laurent Ferrier's unidirectional, shock-absorbing, oscillating, micro-rotor, guaranteeing a chronometer's precision and longevity. The fan-shaped micro-rotor is made of solid gold and is suspended by a large bridge, together, intended to create the impression of a bird standing on one foot. Furthermore, it uses a pawl, allowing it to wind in a unidirectional manner, adding efficiency and reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpressively, this Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor utilises a double direct-impulse escapement, that improves the movement through its ability to use less power and maintain amplitude, achieved through the escape-lever being locked down between two escape wheels.

It is headed by Laurent Ferrier himself, who worked at Patek Philippe for 40 years, finishing as their creative director.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller was first shown at Baselworld in 2013, complementing the Galet Micro-Rotor collection with a modern reinterpretation of the classic travel watch. The Galet Traveller uses a natural escapement, much like the Galet Micro-Rotor, with a power reserve of 80 hours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This model, has two dials. The one fitted to the watch, is an original prototype dial shown at Baselword 2013, with a lighter outer-track, that never went into production. This is confirmed by a 'Letter of Authenticity' from Laurent Ferrier, which accompanies the dial. The second dial, is from the standard collection. It comes in mint condition, as a full-set, with its original box and paperwork from the manufacture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Galet Traveller features a 41mm rose-gold, bevel-free case, thin lugs and Laurent Ferrier’s signature onion-shaped crown and rounded bezel. The entire watch is polished and mirror finished, while the crown itself engraved with a pattern. Integrated on the left side of the case are two oblong push-buttons, which adjust the local time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The slate-grey dial, with rose-gold, applied index-markers, seems inspired by classic Patek Philippe references from the 1940s and 50s. It has a satin-brushed finish on parts of the dial, a “sector” small-seconds sub-dial, and a fine, railway minute track around the outer-edge. The arrow-shaped hour and minute hands are enhanced with Superluminova, with a baton-shaped seconds-hand at 6 o’clock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These free-flowing lines are only interrupted by the date aperture at three o'clock, the sub-seconds register at six o'clock, and the 24-hour home-time window at nine o'clock. The latter is not linked to the date function, making it a sensible take on what a GMT should do, referencing the home-time only, but not the date. Consequently, it is the central hands that show the local time, and these can be incrementally adjusted in both directions. This intuitive system allows the Galet Traveller to be quickly and easily adjusted. On a flight from London to New York, five pushes of the lower button would set the watch to the exact local time upon landing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like the front, the case-back is covered by a sapphire crystal, to reveal the movement. The three bridges, bearing the Genevan striped motif, allow for a good view of the stunning calibre. The self-winding movement is controlled by Laurent Ferrier's unidirectional, shock-absorbing, oscillating, micro-rotor, guaranteeing a chronometer's precision and longevity. The fan-shaped micro-rotor is made of solid gold and is suspended by a large bridge, together, intended to create the impression of a bird standing on one foot. Furthermore, it uses a pawl, allowing it to wind in a unidirectional manner, adding efficiency and reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpressively, this Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor utilises a double direct-impulse escapement, that improves the movement through its ability to use less power and maintain amplitude, achieved through the escape-lever being locked down between two escape wheels. Its excellent efficiency guarantees a high amplitude for the balance, operating at a frequency of 21,600 A\/h, with a depth rating of 30 metres. It took two years to create the fully-integrated, dual-timezone mechanism and date, the calibre LF 230.01.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe finishing of the movement is a major focus for the Galet Traveller, with contrasts established between the perlaged backdrop and the thick circular grained Geneva Stripes on the bridges.

Since this introduction, the Datejust has become one of the most iconic and popular watches in the Rolex catalogue. It was described alongside the Rolex GMT and Submariner, in the brands marketing materials of the time as “a bit of both, and a substantial character at any level”. With its understated look and size, it offers a practical, everyday alternative to Rolex’s other highly-purposeful tools watches - Chronometer certified, waterproof, with a near-perfect aesthetic balance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Datejust combined many of Rolex’s most successful innovations, including Rolex’s two-piece, screw-down case.

Housed in a classical 38 mm dress watch case, it is made distinctive by F.P. Journe’s signature ‘flat crown’ with a rope-like pattern. The silver and yellow dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed below the two subsidiary seconds (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. To the left of the dial, the annual calendar indicates the date in two windows, with an automatically advancing date for months with 29, 30 and 31 days. Overall, the dial layout is clean and highly legible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the movement that F.P. Journe is famed for.

The silver and yellow dial is delicately textured, and displays a separate silver guilloché dial for the hours and minutes. The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed to the left the subsidiary seconds (Latin for “Invented and Made”) in classic F.P Journe style - a nod to signing conventions of a century ago. The signature F.P. Journe style hands form a distinct contrast to the dial. Between eight and nine o’clock is a power reserve indicator of 120 hours, with a large date aperture above.

As with all Patek Philippe Nautilus examples, the reference 3800\/1 features an integrated, water-tight \"porthole\" case, famously penned by Gérald Genta.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn essence, the reference 3800\/1 is a scaled-down version of the 3700\/1. The watch displays the same dark-blue, ridged dial, with horizontal grooves (as seen in the 3700\/1), along with applied tritium-filled hour markers, white outer-minute divisions, polished baton hands (with luminous inserts) and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. Further featured in this piece, is the rarer, dark-coloured date disc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith this example, the index-markers and hands are manufactured from white gold, indicated by the lower case Greek letter ‘sigma’ at the bottom of the dial. The ‘sigma’ signature was a visual declaration of the use of precious materials, and was adopted by a number of manufactures throughout the 70’s - emphasising the inherent value of a high-quality, mechanical watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the Ref. 3700\/1, the case and integral bracelet are excellently finished, with angular, beveled and polished edges. The polished screws, bezel and case edges fantastically-contrast with the brushed surface of the case and bracelet. At 37.5mm in diameter, and only 7.5mm thick, this 3800\/1 Nautilus case is a unique twist of perspectives and size, and wears comfortably on the wrist.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a result of Patek Philippe's decision to develop its own in-house, ultra-slim movement, the reference 3800\/1 features an updated calibre 335 S C (for “seconde centrale” or “central second”), replacing the previous calibre 28-255C movement. The calibre 335 S C features 29 jewels, a straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance; adjusted to cold, heat, isochronism, and 5 positions, a self-compensating flat balance spring and shock absorber mechanism. Furthermore, the solid-gold rotor is finished in classic Patek Philippe style, with circular Geneva stripes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Patek Philippe 3800\/1 comes accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin (dated 24 January 1991), its original product literature, leather wallet and fitted presentation box. The watch was fully serviced by Patek Philippe in October 2015, and comes with a Wempe service guarantee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003ePatek Philippe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eNautilus 3800\/1A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 335 SC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003edate, hours, minutes, central seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003edark blue ridged dial, rare black date-disc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003e37.5 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003esapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 42px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 42px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 42px;\" width=\"213\"\u003elarge-link 3800\/1A stainless steel bracelet, signed clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20.5417px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20.5417px;\" width=\"213\"\u003e1991\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003ebox, Certificate of Origin, product literature, leather wallet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis Patek Philippe Nautilus comes as a full set, with box, papers and all other accompanying materials.

Perhaps one of the most famous of a breed of dress-watches from the late 1950s and early 60s, the Day-Date, is simple and clean in design, with excellent resistance to both shock and moisture. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since its introduction, the Rolex Day-Date has become one of the most popular watches in the Rolex catalogue. Understated in appearance and size, it offers a practical, versatile alternative to Rolex’s other highly-purposeful wristwatches - Chronometer-certified, waterproof and with a near-perfect aesthetic balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Colloquially referred to as the “President”, the Rolex Day-Date earned the nickname in a typically genius marketing move by the brand - reportedly gifting a Day-Date watch to then President of the United States, Dwight Eisenhower. The brand claimed in its marketing materials of the time that “Men who guide the history of the world, wear Rolex watches”\" and neither the Day-Date’s ageless elegance, prestige, nor high value, have faded since. The “President” name is often associated with a particular style bracelet, accompanying many Rolex Day-Date watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reference 1803, of which this watch is an excellent example, was introduced in 1958 and shares that classically Rolex quality, of utilitarian functionality, married with classical design. The reference 1803 was part of the second series of Day-Dates, identified by their fluted bezel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Day-Date combined many of Rolex’s most successful innovations, including Rolex’s two-piece, screw-down case. In 1926, the ‘Oyster’ case became the very first waterproof wristwatch case to be produced serially, as well as the first fully-integrated waterproof case overall. This particular case dates to 1971 (serial 264 XXXX). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The dial of this Rolex Day-Date reference 1803 is in exceptionally good condition, with a slate-blue matte finish, applied gilt index markers and the classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL’ - ‘DAY-DATE’ references on it. Like the index markers, the hands are also gilt, with tritium lume, aged to a creamy yellow patina, matching the indexes perfectly. Both the day and date windows on the dial are subtle in colouration, complimenting the index markers and hands. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Powered by Rolex’s calibre 1556 ‘Superlative Chronometer, Officially Certified ’ grade, automatic movement, constructed with 26 jewels,a  mono-metallic balance and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH. The calibre 1556 was the last of the 1500 series to power the “presidential” Day-Date, and saw a marginal increase in accuracy over its predecessors, along with added shock-resistance (owing to the increased beat rate). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The watch comes fully-equipped with its original, 18-carat gold Rolex “president-link” bracelet and folding-clasp (stamped 1 71). The bracelet is preserved in exceptional condition, with uncharacteristically-little stretch throughout.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With a rare, dark-blue dial, set in an 18k yellow-gold case, this Rolex Day-Date truly stands out from most examples of its type and era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment only.\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eOyster Perpetual Day-Date Ref. 1803\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003emechanical automatic Cal. 1556\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003edate, weekday, hours, minutes, centre seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eunrestored blue dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e36 mm 18-carat yellow gold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eRolex 18-carat president bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003e1971\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px; width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe Oyster case is in excellent condition.

Similarly, the matte black, Audi Sport dial is in excellent condition, has white minute markers and tritium index markers for the hours. It features the classic white Heuer logo, while 'AUDI SPORT' is referenced next to the date aperture at three o’clock. A 'T SWISS T' marking is visible at six o'clock on the twelve-hour sub-register.

Translated to \"race\" or \"career\" in Spanish, the event ran for five consecutive years and was entered by racers from all over the world, representing virtually every motor-sport.

Jack Heuer’s strict adherence to legibility and function, ahead of all other considerations, accomplished a design classic that arguably represents his vision in its purest form. While the Carrera was produced with a range of dial configurations, the reverse “panda” dial\" three-register, triple-calendar arrangement is rarity, with this example preserved in exceptional condition. The case measures 36 mm and dates to the late 1960s (serial 136 XXX). To the left of the case are two corrector buttons, operating the day, date and month. Throughout its production, the 2547 reference was manufactured in two case variations, with earlier executions featuring a screw-down caseback. Later examples (such as this piece), manufactured between '67 to '71,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e displayed snap-on backs and thinner-sized lugs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibiting subtle blue accents for the date indications, with black and silver tones across the dial, this 2547NS is understated and well-balanced. The hour markers are applied, together with aged tritium index markings. Found at 12 o’clock are two apertures for the day and month, below the ‘Heuer’ logo. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, sub-second and twelve-hour dials, respectively - the latter of which, influenced the “Dato 12” moniker. The crown of the watch is correct and bears the standard Heuer signature, along with corresponding original pump pushers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the manual-winding, 17 jewel, Valjoux Calibre 723 (signed as “Heuer-Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The movement is derived from the tried and tested column-wheel chronograph Valjoux 72 calibre, with an additional module for the triple-calendar complication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Heuer Carrera 2547NS, the most complicated watch produced by the brand, reminds us why Heuer chronograph wristwatches are so sought-after by collectors of today. In essence, the Ref. 2547NS encapsulates the continued affection and appreciation for highly-complicated, vintage pieces, in the best possible way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eHeuer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCarrera Ref. 2547NS \"Dato 12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003emechanical manual-winding Cal. Valjoux \u003cspan\u003e723\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003etriple-calendar, chronograph, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003esilver on black reverse 'panda' dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e36.5 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eblack leather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003elate 1960s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nThe case of this Heuer Carrera is in excellent condition, with classic elongated straight-lugs.

Famous for their distinctive, high-beat chronograph timepieces – technically advanced wristwatches are very much in Zenith’s DNA. And - carrying the Calibre 3019 PHC - this piece belongs to the prestigious line of the very first, automatic chronographs.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been a continuing and passionate debate as to which manufacturer developed world’s first self-winding chronograph, amongst the consortium of Heuer, Buren-Hamilton, Breitling, Dubois-Depraz and Seiko. Much of the argument has subsided in recent years, thanks to almost a decade’s tireless documentation by the original sports-chronograph collectors, such as Jeff Stein, founder of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\" title=\"Click here to see Jeff Stein's page\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eOn The Dash\u003c\/a\u003e, and author of \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.onthedash.com\/docs\/Project99.html\" title=\"Click here to read the history of automatic chronographs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProject 99 - The Race to Develop the World's First Automatic Chronograph\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the latter, Zenith was the first to announce the innovation. Having begun research and development as early as 1962, it debuted a working prototype at a pre-emptive press conference in Switzerland in early 1969. Rivals entered global production in August of 1969, while Zenith made the 3019 PHC publicly available in October the same year. Zenith proudly claims the “El Primero” to be the first-ever automatic chronograph, emphasizing its full integration and completeness - with a column-wheel and central rotor on ball bearings - as opposed to a being a modular addition. The name “El Primero” by no coincidence translates to “the first”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe debate may never truly be extinguished, but the “El Primero” movement will forever keep its claim as a first. It certainly had a huge impact on horological development. Other than being the first fully-integrated, automatic chronograph, the movement was also a pioneer of high-frequency. Beating at a rate of 36,000 A\/h, vs. at 19,800 A\/h of its ‘Calibre 11’ competitors, the 5hz beat rate allows measurement up to 1\/10th of a second, in comparison to just one-fifth of a second (at a rate of 2.5hz) of its contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1985, Zenith resurrected the “El Primero” line, reissuing the calibre 3019PHC (as the calibre 40.0), and it is still in production today under the designation “calibre 400”. One of the most widely respected Rolex Daytona references, the 16500, used the base calibre 400 in its re-designed flagship sports watch in 1988.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis stunning example of the Zenith El Primero Ref. A386 is from circa 1970 (With serial number 706DXXX). \u003cspan\u003eAccording to Manfred Rössler, in his important work on the history of the brand\u003c\/span\u003e, only around 2,500 examples of the reference A386 were produced, exclusively between 1969 and ’71.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this piece is undeniably attractive, it is the condition that stands out. Vintage sports watches typically have tell-tale signs of being over-worn. However this A386 has been remarkably well preserved. The angular, MKII stainless steel case measures 38 mm in diameter (13 mm thick) and has large chronograph pushers and its original, signed, fluted crown, each retaining their definition. Both the case and the straight-line lugs are sharp and thick, with contrasting grained and polished surfaces. The bevels on the lugs are polished, as is the outer-edge of the flat, screw-down case-back, further accentuated by the use of graining at the center. The unique reference number is also visible. Overall, the exceptional finishing of the Zenith El Primero A386 is noteworthy, both for its design and execution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilarly to the case, the tri-colour dial is in excellent condition, with hash markers indicating the minutes and (1\/5) seconds, along with applied, faceted index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the matchstick handset and index hour markers have aged to a dark, off-yellow, complementing the the sub-registers. The sub-dials on the A386 display white indices, with uniformly white hands throughout. Further to this, the watch also features a red paddle chronograph hand, displayed on many Zenith El Primero examples of the era, whilst the white portion of the dial is surrounded by a tachymeter scale. The watch carries the above-mentioned, self-winding 3019 PHC calibre, considered by many as one of the most famous column-wheel operated chronographs of all time. The movement features 31 jewels and a bi-directional central rotor, beating at 36,000 A\/h, with a power-reserve of 50-hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether with its Zenith-stamped, original Gay Fréres ladder bracelet in steel, and matching ZJ end-links, this piece makes a showcase of what a classic vintage sports watch should be like. Rarer than most highly-collectable, sports chronographs of the period, this is due to both low production and the fact that many examples have been badly restored and replaced with later parts. This example on the other hand, has to be admired for its excellent unrestored condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Zenith A386 El Primero watch is accompanied by its original, red Zenith box and period-appropriate, black leather Zenith strap and buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 593px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eZenith\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 153.15625px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 424.84375px;\"\u003eEl Primero Ref.

Originally unveiled in the mid-1970s and designed by the legendary Gérald Genta, the Nautilus (ref. 3700\/001A) has become a veritable horological icon thanks to its pioneering role amongst high-end, luxury sports watches.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nautilus was released later than the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet and offered a different take on the idea of a luxury sports watch, though like the Royal Oak (equally designed by Mr Genta), it was made in steel (for the standard version). The early 1970s was a time of great change within the watch industry, where the concept of a luxury watch in steel was a truly revolutionary idea. In 1976, the introduction of Patek Philippe’s Nautilus firmly altered the direction of luxury sports watch design – offering a true competitor to Audemars Piguets’ then four-year-old Royal Oak. The reference 3700 Nautilus is often referred to as ‘Jumbo’, on account of its relatively imposing size for the period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ref. 3700\/001A was not only unprecedented in its design, but also in its initial pricing to consumers. When the Nautilus was released, the retail price for the watch was $3,100 - considerable for the time, and comparable to many of Patek Philippe’s gold dress watches. At the time of its release, the world was already shifting towards highly-commercialized, quartz watchmaking. In 1969, Seiko launched the first quartz wristwatch - its success (and successors), driving the mechanical watch industry to critically low levels of production by the early 1980s. As a result of the Nautilus’ innovative design, only 3,300 examples of the 3700\/001A are estimated to have been produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemarkably, Gerald Genta is said to have sketched the 3700’s design whilst dining meters away from Patek Philippe executives. His “five minutes of work”, is today considered one of the masterpieces of modern watch design. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.veryimportantwatches.com\/files\/pdf\/creating_desing_rules_en.pdf\" title=\"“Read Mr. Genta's recount in full“\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAs Mr. Genta recounts\u003c\/a\u003e “I was at the restaurant of a hotel, and some people from Patek were sitting in one corner of the dining hall, while I was sitting alone in the other corner. I told the head-waiter: ‘Bring me a piece of paper and a pencil, I want to design something’ and I designed the Nautilus while observing the people from Patek eating”. It was a sketch that I completed in five minutes, that very quickly met with success. Its etymology comes from Jules Verne’s novel “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, after the ‘Nautilus’ submarine, used by Captain Nemo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the Royal Oak, the Nautilus’ water-resistant technology (120 meters) required innovative strategy. Gerald Genta’s inspiration for the iconic Nautilus architecture was to replicate that of the secure ‘porthole’ windows, found on transatlantic ocean liners, complete with a two-piece, solid mono-block and octagonal bezel, secured by four lateral screws (concealed at 3 and 9 o’clock), holding the case tightly together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis steel, Nautilus 3700\/001A watch is the perfect balance between utilitarian function and elegant design. The case and bracelet are excellently finished, with beveled, polished and granular surfaces. At 42mm in diameter, and only 7.6mm thick, the 3700 case is a beautiful twist of perspectives and size. The inner-case-back correctly displays the watch’s unique serial number (539 XXX), as well as the reference number ‘3700\/1’, below the manufacture’s signature. The underside of the hinge-inspired 'ears' (located at 3 and 9 o'clock) also display a 3-digit serial number, appropriately matching the last 3-digits on the inner case-back.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hand-made, ridged dial, manufactured by Stern Fréres, displays horizontal grooves with deep blue-grey colouration. The applied hour markers are tritium-filled, with ‘dot’ outer-minute divisions, original polished baton-hands (with luminous inserts) and a date aperture at 3 o’clock (with original date-disc). With this example, the index-markers and hands are manufactured from white gold, indicated by the lower case Greek letter ‘sigma’ at the bottom of the dial. The dial of this 3700\/001A is distinguished by the placement of two dots beside the (σ) symbol, consistent with examples produced from the 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nautilus 3700\/001A is powered by the ultra-slim calibre 28-255C, derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary ultra-thin JLC 920 calibre movement. The caliber 2121 was based on the caliber 2120, an initial project of Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1967, funded and contributed to by Patek Philippe, and famous for its adoption by Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin (found in the Royal Oak 5402 and VC 222). The 28-255C calibre features Patek Philippe's famed free-sprung Gyromax balance, with four ruby wheels to support the full-diameter rotor, which runs on a beryllium rail for stability. The solid-gold rotor is finished in classic Patek Philippe style, with circular Geneva stripes. The Patek Philippe calibre 28-255C remains one of the thinnest full-rotor self-winding movements in the world, considered by many as one of the most stunningly refined and technically impressive wrist-watch movements ever made. Importantly, its movement serial number (1.309.XXX) corresponds with its year of production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo versions of the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700 existed, carrying the references 3700\/001A and later, the ref. 3700\/011A - with two subtle variations in bracelet design. The links of the ref. 3700\/001 are noticeably-wider and straighter than the ref. 3700\/011A, which featured a more exaggerated bracelet taper. Further to this, the bracelets found in earlier examples (like this 3700\/001A) have fewer links, owing to each individual links’ larger size). The steel 3700\/001A (with larger bracelet) was produced from 1976-82.  The clasp of this 3700\/001A bracelet corresponds to later examples of the 3700\/001A, with “Nautilus” engraved alongside “PATEK PHILIPPE GENÉVE”, “STEEL INOX”, and “SWISS MADE”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present example was manufactured in 1980, evidenced by the accompanying Archive Extract, confirming the date of sale - or in this case the date of delivery to an authorised distributer - as November 23rd, 1981. From here, the watch was delivered to German retailer ‘Christ Juweliere und Uhrmacher’; with branches in Germany, France and Switzerland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to its Certificate of Origin, this 3700\/001A was sold by the retailer in October 1982. Interestingly, although perhaps somewhat pedantically, we also know this Certificate would have been printed by Patek Philippe in November 1981, based on the “AANA” code referenced at the bottom of it - again tallying perfectly with the date found on the Archive Extract. The original guarantee card is also supplied, which retains the date of sale to the original owner, on October 5th, 1982. Attached to this - the original purchase price can be found, totaling 6,340 Deutche Marks (approximately $36,000 today, adjusting for inflation). Upon closer inspection, the original retail price for the watch is shown (under ART), of 6,450 DM, with an applied discount (RAB) of 200 DM.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 3700\/001A Nautilus comes as a full-set; including an original, highly-collectable Patek Philippe cork box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2006, Patek Philippe marked the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus by introducing the reference 5711\/1A, which itself has already achieved something akin to a cult-like status. Our full-set, original, 3700\/001A therefore represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire the founding reference of what is today, one of the world's rarest and most desirable vintage sports watches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo Note: There appears to be a typographical error on the Certificate of Origin, concerning the jewel count of the movement. Where it reads 37, this should read 36. The movement is indeed 36 jewelled. Small mistakes on original paperwork from the period, whist infrequent, do appear (as confirmed by the archive department of Patek Philippe). All other serial numbers (movement \u0026amp; case) correspond perfectly to the paperwork and Archive Extract, as well the as the original guarantee from the retailer. The “AANA” code referenced at the bottom of the Certificate of Origin also tells us that this would have been printed by Patek Philippe in November 1981, corresponding with the information in the Archive Extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003ePatek Philippe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eNautilus 3700\/001A ('A' denoting 'acier' or 'steel')\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eautomatic-winding calibre 28-255C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003edate, hours, minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eoriginal ridged dial, original hands, unsigned crown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eoriginal 42mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003esapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e3700\/001A stainless steel bracelet, correctly signed clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e5th October 1982 (purchase date)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\" style=\"height: 20px;\"\u003ecork box, Certificate of Origin, Extract from the Archives, product literature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis Patek Philippe Nautilus '3700\/001A' comes as a full-set; with Certificate of Origin, guarantee, product literature, cork box and accompanying Extract from the Archives.

With its sharp, angular case and Rolex-stamped, integrated bracelet, it represents the very best of the brand's ingenuity. The watch also comes with its original punched-paperwork.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe reference 1530 predates the introduction of Rolex’s ‘Oysterquartz’ - born of an era during which Rolex had begun to firmly shift towards the developing trend of quartz wristwatches. In 1975, Rolex produced a limited number of 1530s, housing the chronometer-certified, caliber 1570 movement. The angular, steel case was originally designed for Rolex Oysterquartz, sporting a noticeably different design. The reference 1530 was discontinued shortly-after, in 1977, upon introduction of Rolex’s revolutionary quartz calibre. In this time, it’s estimated less than 1,500 examples of the 1530 were produced.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Rolex Oyster was first introduced in 1926. Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use. The watch famously crossed the English Channel in 1927, around the neck of English swimmer Mercedes Gleitze, surviving the 10-hour long swim undamaged. In 1931, Rolex patented the world's first self-winding mechanism with a perpetual rotor, today at the heart of every modern automatic watch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe dial of this Rolex Oyster Ref. 1530 is in exceptionally good condition, has a brushed silver finish, applied index markers, with classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE' text referenced on it. The distinctive, angular case is sharply beveled, with diameter of 36mm. The large rehaut (with applied lume dots), conceals the depth at which the mechanical movement sits in the case, having originally been designed to house a thicker quartz calibre. It has its Rolex crown and comes equipped with its original, integrated Rolex bracelet and clasp (ref. 96660). This particular case dates to circa 1975 (serial 409 XXXX).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 1570 ‘Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer’ grade automatic movement. The mechanism features a lever escapement, 26 jewels, mono-metallic balance and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 19,800 BPH. A distinctive characteristic of Rolex’s Cal. 1570 is the use of brightly-coloured reverser-gears in the automatic winding module. The unique colouration is created using Teflon, a branded form of Polytetrafluoroethylene, as a coating, resulting in far less friction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe evolution of the Rolex Oyster inspired some of the most historically important wristwatches, surviving the harshest of conditions. From 35,000 ft. below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, to the summit of Mount Everest, without losing a beat. There aren’t many mechanical timepieces that have contributed more to the advancement of horological design, nor clearer defined Rolex’s reputation for excellence. Many have tried to replicate its success, but no manufacturer since, has consistently produced mechanical timepieces that endure everyday wear as well as a Rolex, owing much of their success to a unique market niche that the Oyster case helped define.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloser look \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOyster Perpetual Date 1530\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003emechanical automatic Caliber 1570\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003edate, hours, minutes, center seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOysterquartz case, unrestored dial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCase:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e36 mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eplexiglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eintegrated Rolex bracelet (ref.\u003cspan\u003e 96660)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eYear:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003ecirca 1975\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBox \u0026amp; papers:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003epunched-papers (undated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\nThis rare, vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date ref. 1530 has an unrestored dial and retains all its original features.

Initially limited to just 1,000 pieces (as the ref. 5060A and 5060J), the model was introduced shortly after the brand’s first highly-successful sports watch, the Nautilus, celebrated its 20th anniversary. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This example, the ref. 5065A, was launched shortly after the initial limited references, featuring an updated 315 SC calibre and an increased 38mm case diameter (up from 36mm). The ref. 5065A ‘Jumbo’ also uses a sapphire display case-back, replacing the solid steel, seen in earlier versions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Aquanaut re-interprets a number of signature design elements from the Nautilus’ - most notably, the octagonal rounded bezel. It displays a high level of finishing, with brushed surfaces on the case front, and polished, bevelled edges. The steel, three-piece case provides water resistance up to 120m, further featuring a screw-down crown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The black checkerboard dial matches the texture on the rubber strap, and is embossed with silver applied numerals.

It features 29 jewels, a straight-line lever escapement, shock absorber mechanisml a self-compensating flat balance spring and a monometallic balance, adjusted to cold, heat, isochronism and 5 positions.
