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-omega-speedmaster-ed-white-105003-watch","title":"Speedmaster Pre-Professional 'Ed White' | ST 105.003 | Steel","description":"\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eOmega\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003e Speedmaster - Ref. ST 105.003-65 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003emanual-winding cal. 321 column-wheel chronograph\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\"\u003e40 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 7912 flatlink bracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eFunctions:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003echronograph, tachymeter, hours, minutes, sub-seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eTo note:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eLater service replacement Omega crown, after-market '6' end-links\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis vintage, stainless steel Omega Speedmaster ‘Ed White’ 105.003-65 has recently been serviced and is in excellent working condition.

Rarer than any Paul Newman Daytona, 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\u003e This first execution Heuer Autavia 2446 has a reverse panda dial and features oversized registers, or ‘big subs’. The index hour markers are inlaid with radium lumes, together with the singular Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock. Furthermore, what is characteristic to the watch is the steel edged, wide Dauphine hands, which are also filled with radium. Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, creamy yellow patina, complementing the concentric, off-white sub-dials fantastically. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The original hour rotating bezel is in remarkable condition with very minor scratches, with its radium fill at 12 o’clock still present.

Moreover, the pushers are original, evident through the smaller size compared to the later Autavias. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sized in a proportionate and wearable 39 mm case, the watch features straight lugs that are sharply bevelled.

The sub-dials have black stick hands and concentric engraved circles, creating depth on the face. The unrestored two-tone dial also features a blue “snail” tachymeter on the inner section of the dial, while the outer track denotes the chronograph seconds, offering balance and legibility. Further to this, the dial also displays layered Arabic numerals, which have aged to a golden yellow colour. Complimenting this purposeful, utilitarian timepiece is the addition of syringe hands, with beautifully aged lumes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The unique story attached to this particular Heuer Chronograph is that its original owner was reported to be a former military officer.

It has its original, matte black dial with beautifully aged tritium hour markers. It also has its original, iconic “Pepsi” bezel. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 debuted in 1981, following the success of Rolex’s longer-running production reference GMT, the 1675. Considered a transitional reference, the GMT-Master 16750 was in production for less than a decade, before manufacturing ceased around 1988. This particular case dates to 1981 (serial 675XXXX); an early example of a rare watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During its eight years of production, the Rolex GMT-Master 16750 had two distinct dial variations. 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. Further to this, the tritium hour markers and GMT baton handset have aged to a beautiful yellow patina. It also has its Rolex crown and comes equipped with its original Rolex Oyster bracelet and clasp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inside the watch, it houses Rolex’s calibre 3075 ‘Officially Certified Superlative Chronometer’ grade automatic movement. The bi-directional winding mechanism features a lever escapement, 27 jewels, Breguet hairspring and KIF shock-absorber, beating at a rate of 28,800 A\/h. 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. The 16750 also has an increased depth rating of 100 meters water resistance, up from 50m on the 1675. The two references share a unique symmetry, but can be separately identified by the stack of their respective handsets; the 16750 placing the GMT above the hour hand, as opposed to being closest to the dial, as displayed on the 1675. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As with any design, there is a “sweet spot”; this watch hits that perfectly.

Beginning as a prototype designed specifically for professional use. Typically thought of as the most rugged of the oyster family, the Rolex Explorer has always been closely-associated with the rigours of international adventure and exploration. Famously tested during the Himalayan expeditions, there aren’t many mechanical timepieces more deserving of the reputation. The Rolex reference 6150 arguably represents the Explorer in its purest form. This particular case dates to 1953 (serial 944 XXX); a very early example of a rare watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaunched in the early 1950's, the reference 6150 is one of the rarest and earliest examples of the “Explorer” model; the earliest of which, do not carry the “Explorer” name (only reading “Precision”). The designation was later added to the dial of the reference 6150. Many refer to the reference as a “Pre-Explorer” since the first Rolex reference to carry the “Explorer” designation was the model 6350, which was only manufactured in 1953. The designation was a tribute to adventurers such as Sir Edmund Hillary and Norgay, who would go on to reach the summit of Mount Everest the same year, whilst pioneering the modern concepts of sports\/celebrity marketing. The reference 6150 “prototype” is one of only a handful of references rigorously tested during the earliest period of its production, for suitability to withstand the harshest of conditions. The Rolex Precision 6150 was arguably the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of later examples of the ‘Explorer’, emphasising legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case of this Rolex is in excellent condition. The brushing on top of the lugs is consistent, while the spring-bar spaces show little sign of elongation. The flat bezel is sharp and gives the watch an appropriate utilitarian feel. The company’s revolutionary two-piece, hermetically sealed case was adapted in Rolex’s earliest self-winding references, designed to accommodate increased height of the automatic mechanism.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Journe Centigraphe Sport was exclusively produced between 2011 and 2014 in an ultra-light, 55 gram, aluminium case. It speaks very much to François-Paul’s meticulous approach to complications, both technically and design wise. Its 42mm sports case is made particularly distinctive through a patented chronograph ‘rocker’, as opposed to the more traditional chronograph ‘pushers’. This, in addition to the slim, rubberised rope-like patterned crown renders the piece, visually, quite unlike any other. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the left hand side, the case further features a rubberised edging, offering increased durability. The aluminium dial is matte-finished in contrasting dark grey, with classic F.P Journe numerals. The signature handset is modified for the ‘Linesport’ collection to improve readability. This required the addition of luminous material to the hour and minute hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThe words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed beside the subsidiary counter at 6 o’clock (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 100th of a second-hand revolves around the sub-counter in one second (ticking six times), on a scale marked in hundredths of a second. The subsidiary-hand at 2 o’clock revolves once every twenty seconds, with the scale divided into each passing second. The third sub-dial, at the 6 o’clock position, is graduated for 10 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tachymeter scale converts time units for 1 kilometre into speeds ranging from 6 km\/h —walking pace — to 36,000 km\/h, well above the escape velocity of a rocket going into low-level orbit. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red and is marked at the centre ‘S’ or ‘M’ - ‘PR’, abbreviating ‘seconds’ or ‘minutes’, per revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn intuitive feature of the 100th of a second counter is that it may be stopped anywhere along its one-second revolution around the dial, even between two 100th of a second divisions, enabling a fractional reading. This is achieved by vertically disengaging the pinion of the 100th of a second hand, from that of the escapement. Overall, the complication is highly-fitting for a sports watch, with the dial arrangement highly legible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ‘Centigraphe Sport’ adorned the wrist of French Formula One legend Jean Alesi, during his career-first ‘indy500’ motorsport race in 2012, in collaboration with Lotus. The colours of F. P Journe’s emblazoned the competing black and gold lotus dallara, in celebration of both Lotus and F.P.

Ergonomic craftsmanship combined with haute production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis manually-wound F.P. Journe caliber 1506 movement is manufactured entirely from aluminium alloy. It is constructed with 50 jewels, and features an in-line lever escapement, 15-tooth escape wheel and free-sprung balance - adjustable on four inertia weights, with a self-compensating Anachron balance-spring. The barrel features a maintaining power system in order to ensure driving force does not decrease during winding. The mainspring supplies a minimum of 80 hours power reserve without the chronograph running, and 24 hours with operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bracelet and folding clasp of this Centigraphe Sport incorporates a rubber coating, much like the outer-case band, with the clasp engraved with the F. P Journe signature. The clasp additionally offers an adjustment system of a half link size (4mm approx.).

It appears unpolished, on its original riveted 7206 bracelet and 80 end-links.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the introduction of the very first Submariner, variations in the execution of each reference have often illustrated the watches’ continuous evolution. Its iconic status and importance to the Rolex brand has led to constant reinvention and modernisation, marking a number of industry innovations along the way. What’s more, this impact is equally evident in that of the Tudor Submariner. The Tudor Submariner 7928, was the first to feature crown guards, often referred to by collectors in the reference 7928 as “Square Crown Guards”. What makes this 7928 particularly special is the early execution, gilt chapter-ring dial with tritium markers and silver script. What further sets it apart, is the incredibly well-preserved condition throughout. With its Rolex-stamped, original 7206, riveted-link bracelet and clasp, with matching 80 end-links, it looks very much of its time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of Tudor dates back to 1926, when the house of “Veuve de Philippe Hüther”, a Swiss watchmaker, registered the trademark “The Tudor” in Geneva, for Hans Wilsdorf (founder of Rolex Watch Co.) The Tudor brand was transferred to Hans Wilsdorf in October 1936, leading to the formation of “Montres Tudor S.A” 10 years later, just after the Second World War. In the years leading up to the development of the brand, Hans Wilsdorf had long considered the idea of manufacturing a moderately priced watch that would still attain the technical, aesthetic and functional characteristics of a Rolex (many of which, share identical features to their Rolex counterparts).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dial of this Tudor Submariner 7928 is in exceptionally good condition, with tritium index markers and classic 'TUDOR’ and ‘OYSTER PRINCE – 200m-660ft – SUBMARINER – ROTOR- SELF-WINDING’ text referenced in silver script, further displaying the Tudor Rose. The Tritium index plots and Mercedes hands have aged to a beautiful, yellow patina. Sized at 39mm, the case appears unpolished, with sharp bevels displayed on its lugs and defined case-back engraving. The brushed finish on the lugs is clearly visible, while the polished sides are in exceptional condition. This particular case dates to circa 1966 (serial 507 XXX).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside the watch, it houses a Rolex-customised Fleurier 350, known as the Rolex calibre 390. This self-winding movement features 17 jewels, Glucydur balance and KIF shock-protection, beating at a rate of 18,000 A\/h, with a power-reserve of 39h. The calibre 390 is featured in all 7900 series Tudor Submariners, and is renowed for its stability and accuracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe survival of many vintage Tudor examples\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etoday\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecan be attributed to Rolex’s exceptional manufacturing process, combining innovative case design with some of history’s most robust calibres. The ‘Tudor Oyster’, adopted Rolex’s legendary hermetically sealed ‘Oyster’ case, first introduced in 1926. Beginning as the first waterproof and dust-proof wristwatch designed specifically for professional use. In 1952, early Tudor Oyster Prince watches were issued to 30 crew members of the Royal Navy, accompanying them on a scientific expedition to the northernmost reaches of Greenland. The French Marine (Navy) also had a fondness for Tudor; adopting many Tudor Submariners developed throughout the 50’s and 60’s for military purposes (known as ‘M.N’ Submariners, issued to the Marine Nationale).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRarer than most Rolex examples of the same era, it is worth noting that an equivalent Rolex Submariner, with similar characteristics (gilt chapter-ring dial, beautifully patinated lumes, unpolished case) would be priced far in excess of a Tudor Submariner 7928. The intriguing difference being, reference 7928’s are a much rarer breed.\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;\"\u003eTudor\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 Prince Submariner Ref. 7928\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. 390\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;\"\u003ehours, 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 dial, gilt chapter-ring, silver script\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;\"\u003e39 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 riveted-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;\"\u003e1966\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, unpolished condition.

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.

It has its original, navy blue dial with subtle patina on the Tritium hour indices. It also has its original baton style handset, along with a distinct, orange chronograph and subsidiary hand.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColloquially referred to as the \"Jim Clark”, the watch was made famous by renowned British Formula 1 driver Jim Clark OBE, who was often photographed wearing the reference. By the time of his passing, Jim Clark was motor-racing’s most successful winner, with 25 Grand Prix victories to his name. Enicar’s association with motorsport also extends to British Formula One Champion Stirling Moss, who chose Enicar’s Ultrasonic Sherpa Chronometer as his personal timekeeper during time trials. The “Sherpa” name is inspired by that of the resilient local carriers of the 1956 Swiss Himalayan expedition to Everest, which relied on Enicar timepieces. These chronographs were intended to be tool watches and were used as such in a range of professional endeavors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Enicar Sherpa Graph 300, with serial number 314 XXX has a round, stainless steel ‘BREVET’ case with large chronograph pushers and an original, Saturn cross-patterned crown. The case measures 40 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The screw-down case back features the Sherpa clamshell hallmark, 'ENICAR' and 'STAINLESS STEEL INCABLOC - ULTRASONIC - SHERPA' on the outside, along with its unique reference numbers. The case has straight-line lugs with sharp bevels and comes on a dark grey suede strap and steel tang buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reverse panda dial displays great legibility, owing to its contrasting dark blue centre and grey outer ‘Tachymeter’ scale. Furthermore, what is characteristic to the watch is the steel-edged, luminous and white-painted minute and hour hands. Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, creamy yellow patina, complementing the concentric, off-white oversized registers fantastically. It features a white Enicar logo and applied Saturn, while 'SHERPA GRAPH' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'T SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnicar Sherpa Chronographs such as this ‘Jim Clark’ are differentiated by the use of exceptional mechanical movements. Quartz mechanics dominated much of the late 60s and 70s, including Enicar’s very own Beta 21 quartz movement. This Enicar Sherpa Graph 300 however boasts a 17-jewel Valjoux 72 calibre, the same tried and tested column wheel chronograph mechanism famed for dependability and widespread use by manufactures such as Rolex. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Enicar Watch Company was established in 1914, after its founder Artiste Racine, started a 'Manufacture d'Horlogerie Ariste Racine' in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Born of an artisanal family, the trademark ‘Racine” had been registered some 44 years prior. An anagram of the family name ‘ENICAR’ formed the symbol of quality the brand came to adopt throughout the 60s and 70s, and relationship with haute-horology associated today. \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 style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eEnicar\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\"\u003eSherpa Graph Chronograph 300 - Ref. \u003cspan\u003e072-02-01\u003c\/span\u003e\n\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 manual-winding Cal.

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”.

The Rolex 3035 movement is the earliest iteration of the high-beat, ‘3000’ in-house system, developed and introduced in 1977.

Much of the cause of Autavia’s cult-like status amongst drivers was the fact that Jack Heuer personally traveled from race-to-race, trading stopwatches, timing equipment and professional racing chronograph wristwatches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Heuer Autavia 2446 MK3, with serial number 89 XXX has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original signed, fluted crown. The case measures 38 mm in diameter and is sharp and thick, retaining its definition. The screw-down case back features the Heuer hallmark, 'AUTAVIA' and 'STAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPH - WATERPROOF - GUARANTEED 300 FT UNDER-WATER' on the outside. The case has straight-line lugs with sharp bevels and it comes on a black, leather racing-strap with a vintage, stainless steel Heuer buckle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case features a black, rotating bezel with a 12-hour graduation and is good vintage condition. Similarly, the black, Mark 3 dial is in excellent condition, has white minute markers and applied, faceted silver index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the dial and matchstick handset is beautifully-preserved, consistent with experiencing very little exposure to sunlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a white Heuer logo, while 'AUTAVIA' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock on the twelve-hour sub-register.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph hand is white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the thirty-minute, the twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring Arabic numerals and black, third-execution hands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries the manual-winding, Valjoux Calibre 72 (labeled as \"Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Autavia 2446 MK3 represents one of the most celebrated references in Heuer’s history, a true icon sported by iconic owners. Considered a “grail” piece by many collectors, this example represents the original “Rindt” reference, and thus a special piece of horological importance. The exceptional thickness of the case, consistent aging\/completeness of the lumes and original Mark 3 dial exhibit the characteristics that make some Autavia “Rindts” so collectable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon his passing, Jochen Rindt became motor racing's only posthumous world champion, having won five of the year's ten Grands Prix. The championship trophy was handed to his widow Nina Rindt, on the 18th of November 1970 in a ceremony near the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Nina Rindt herself is acknowledged in her own right as one of the leading fashion muses of the sixties, and celebrated for her taste in horology, to an almost equal extent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/my-watch-with-richard-milner\" title=\"““my\" target=\"_blank\" watch=\"\"\u003e‘My Watch’ story can be found on the Journal by clicking here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Viewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\u003c\/p\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\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eHeuer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eModel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eAutavia Autavia Ref. 2446\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"63\"\u003eMovement:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"213\"\u003eMechanical manual-winding Cal.

P Journe ‘Black Label’ Centigraphe Souverain is in mint condition and comes as a full set, with box and papers from the manufacture. In 2008, the Centigraphe Souverain won ‘L'Aiguille d’Or’ (The Golden Hand) award at the GPHG (Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève), the most prestigious award ceremony in the watch industry. \n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was three years prior to the introduction of the Centigraphe Souverain, when François-Paul Journe expressed to Jean Todt (then executive director of Scuderia Ferrari), that “there was nothing serious enough in mechanical horology to time today’s racing cars to the 100th of a second”. It was in 2007 that the Centigraphe Souverain was presented, at which time François-Paul Journe credited Jean Todt for having inspired the concept to him. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This example, is one of few pieces from the Black Label series, created exclusively for existing F. P Journe clients. Only 12 pieces are received by each boutique per year, with just two pieces made available for each model in the collection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its 40mm platinum case is made particularly distinctive through a patented chronograph ‘rocker’, as opposed to the more traditional chronograph ‘pushers’. This, in addition to unique, opaline white hands, renders the piece, visually, quite unlike any other. The black lacquer dial is matte-finished in contrasting dark grey, with classic F.P Journe numerals. The signature handset is modified for this example to improve readability. This required the bespoke manufacture of white hour and minute hands. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The words ‘Invenit et Fecit’ are inscribed beside the subsidiary counter at 6 o’clock (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 100th of a second-hand revolves around the sub-counter in one second, on a scale marked in hundredths of a second. The subsidiary-hand at 2 o’clock revolves once every twenty seconds, with the scale divided into each passing second. The third sub-dial, at the 6 o’clock position, is graduated for 10 minutes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The tachymeter scale converts time units for 1 kilometre into speeds ranging from 6 km\/h —walking pace — to 36,000 km\/h, well above the escape velocity of a rocket going into low-level orbit. Each subsidiary dial displays the time scale in red and is marked at the centre ‘S’ or ‘M’ - ‘PR’, abbreviating ‘seconds’ or ‘minutes’, per revolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An intuitive feature of the 100th of a second counter is that it may be stopped anywhere along its one-second revolution around the dial, even between two 100th of a second divisions, enabling a fractional reading. This is achieved by vertically disengaging the pinion of the 100th of a second hand, from that of the escapement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This manually-wound F.P. Journe caliber 1506 movement is manufactured entirely from 18k rose gold. It is constructed with 50 jewels, and features an in-line lever escapement, 15-tooth escape-wheel and free-sprung balance - adjustable on four inertia weights, with a self-compensating Anachron balance-spring. The barrel features a maintaining power system in order to ensure driving force does not decrease during winding. The mainspring supplies a minimum of 80 hours power reserve without the chronograph running, and 24 hours with operation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Already a rare watch, as part of the “Black Label” series, this Centigraphe Souverain full set, becomes rarer yet. Add to this its customised white hands and it represents an exceptional opportunity to own an important watch from a fantastic watchmaker. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Viewings can be arranged in Central London by appointment.\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;\"\u003eF.

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.

These wristwatches were the first to be launched by the ‘Breitling EIGHT’ Military aviation division; bearing many of the classic hallmarks typically associated with military pilot’s wristwatches. The ‘Breitling EIGHT Air Force’ utilized the latest technical advancements to manufacture highly-specialised equipment, using only materials of the best quality, such as cockpit clocks, oscillographs as well as complicated wristwatches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reference 765 ‘AVI’ predates Breguet’s famous type ‘XX’, introduced in 1954 and issued to the ‘Armée de l’Air, Aeronavale’ and ‘C.E.V’ (Centre d’Essais en Vol – Flight Test Center). The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability. Further examples of Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ variants have been found displaying case-backs stamped by the Aeronautica Militare; AM – Italian Air Force. Whilst these examples are unconfirmed to be of direct military issuance, Breitling is known to have produced military watches for The Paracadutisti R.A.O “Folgore” (Italian Special Forces, 185th Lightning Paratrooper Division) some years later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Breitling 765 'AVI', with serial number (989,XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter and has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all original examples, the screw-down case-back features sharply preserved engraving; “AVI 765”, along with ‘WATERPROOF- SHOCK PROTECTED – ANTIMAGNETIC – STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ was produced with a range of dial configurations, the “reverse panda” was officially adopted by Breitling between 1962 and ’64, and produced until late 1964, when the reference received a significant update; removing all references to the ‘AVI’ designation from its catalogues and official literature, and replacing it with the acronym CP (Co-Pilot). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The case features a, bi-directional, rotating bezel with twelve-hour graduation and a tritium, inlaid 12 o'clock marker. It's in excellent, overall condition. Similarly, the matte black dial is very well preserved, has white minute markers and luminous index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the stick handset and index hour markers has aged to a deepening yellow, complementing the patina on the sub-registers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring a single Arabic numeral at the twelve o’clock position. The minute-recording sub-register features unique lume-dashes, marking every three minutes, as well as a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand to ensure optimal legibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 15-minute subsidiary-register at the 3 o’clock position, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual thirty-minute subsidiary at three o'clock, this modified movement has a fifteen-minute counter. This was designed to offer greater precision for pilots, as the duration of the counter is that of a plane's pre-flight check required to clear for takeoff.\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\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;\"\u003eBreitling\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;\"\u003eAVI Ref. 765\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. 178\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;\"\u003echronograph, 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;\"\u003e12-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored 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;\"\u003e41 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;\"\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","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":5256291188767,"sku":"WSS B455","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/Breitling_Avi_765_vintage_steel_chronograph_watch_at_A_Collected_Man_London28_54f14231-5450-46af-966a-b6ef24429567.jpg?v=1648806337"},{"product_id":"vintage-rolex-milaguss-1019-watch","title":"Milgauss 1019 | Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally introduced in 1956, as the reference 6541, the highly-functional Rolex Milgauss was designed as an antimagnetic, tool watch expressly aimed at those working in powerful magnetic fields, such as at the ‘Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire’, or CERN, in Geneva. Perhaps the most iconic of a breed of purposeful watches from the late 1950s and early 60s, including the IWC Ingénieur and the Omega Railmaster, the Milgauss, is simple and clean in design, with fantastic resistance to both shock and magnetism.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIts resistance to the latter was principally achieved by an iron Faraday cage, protecting the movement from forces as strong as a 1,000 Gauss.

The innovation which led to the creation of the original “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 Milgauss 1019 is in exceptionally good condition, with a black matte finish, applied steel index markers and the classic 'ROLEX’ and ‘OYSTER PERPETUAL references on it, as well the more unusual, red “MILGAUSS” text below.

First unveiled by Patek Philippe in the 1970s and designed by Gérald 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.\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. In 1976, the introduction of the Patek Philippe Nautilus firmly altered the direction of luxury sports watch design – offering a true competitor to Audemars Piguets’ then four-year-old Royal Oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example, the \u003ca title=\"Read our in-depth article about Patek Philippe 3800\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acollectedman.com\/blogs\/journal\/a-collector-s-guide-to-the-nautilus-3800\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ereference 3800\u003c\/a\u003e\/1, was first produced in the early 1980s, as an alternative to the ‘jumbo’ 3700\/1, with a reduced diameter of 37.5mm (over 41mm) - in response to the initial slow start of the original reference. 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 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.

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).

It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, a legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. 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. Taking inspiration from this, Heuer chronograph wristwatches throughout the 1960s and 70s were often the tool of choice for professional race-car drivers, owing much to Jack Heuer’s appreciation for motorsport, and hands-on approach with its teams and drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heuer Carrera 2447SND epitomises the brand's famous sixties spirit and design philosophy. 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 “panda” dial\" three-register arrangement is a rarity, in comparison to the standard uniform silver and black dials, without contrasting registers. This particular case dates to circa 1970 (serial 102 XXX); a very early example of a second execution 2447.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis second execution Heuer Carrera 2447SND has a “Swiss” only dial. The hour markers are applied, together with aged tritium index markings. The Carrera 2447SND also features a clear, outer-dial decimal track and coordinating 1\/5 second demarcations on the tension-ring. 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, Valjoux Calibre 72 (signed as “Heuer-Leonidas\") at its heart, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere this Carrera 2447SND differs from typical examples is its exceptional condition. Whilst this example’s vintage character is evident, its well-preserved condition offers a unique horological insight, owing to the exceptional thickness of the case, consistent ageing\/completeness of the lumes and original Gay Frères bracelet.\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. 2447SND\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\u003e72\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;\"\u003echronograph, 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;\"\u003eunrestored silver 'panda' dial with black sub-dials\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;\"\u003eHeuer Gay Frères bracelet (signed 3\/70, HEL end-links)\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;\"\u003e1970\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 that are sharply beveled.

Although not of direct military issuance, this watch was sold at the PX (Post-Exchange), to a member of the Canadian Army. These Base Exchanges sold consumer goods and services to authorised patrons, and most sales were free of sales or VAT taxes. This pre-dates the formation of the Canadian Forces Exchange System (CANEX) in 1968, which continues to provide an exchange service to Canadian Forces today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSized at 40mm, the pre-professional Speedmasters such as this ‘Ed White’ are most easily differentiated by the straight lug cases used and absence of crown guards, compared to the later, twisted bombe lugs. The case is in good condition, with its original, correct crown. The case-back retains a deep Omega hippocampus and is engraved on the inside ‘105.003-64’, and comes with its original dust-cover. Further to this, the watch also displays a slightly ghosted, Dot over 90 tachymeter bezel, in exceptionally good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis ‘Ed White’ Speedmaster has its original ‘stepped’ dial in very good condition and features an applied Omega logo. The patina on the tritium hour markers are a dark-yellow tone, matching the handset. The hands themselves show all the signs of ageing, suggesting originality, with only the lume on the  chronograph hand appearing slightly fresher than the others, possibly refilled when the original luminescent material fell out. It still shows subtle signs of luminescence under UV, but less than the remaining hands or index markers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by the famous calibre 321, it is a column-wheel chronograph movement that is heralded to be one of the greatest ever produced.

Part of their charm is their rarity, while boasting incredible pedigree and fantastic utilitarian aesthetics. The Heuer Audi sport has few rivals in that regard.

These watches were shipped to Audi dealerships, with a small stock retained and sold through Prestons of Bolton for approximately two months. It is believed that each of the Audi SWB team members received a Heuer Audi Sport watch, with notable owner and former world champion rally driver Hannu Mikkola further supporting the claim. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This unpolished Audi Sport 510.533 has an anodized, tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and original winding crown.

The snap on case back features, 'ALL STAINLESS STEEL - AUTOMATIC – SHOCK RESISTANT – WATER RESISTANT – SWISS MADE' on the outside. 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. On the outside, a raised 500 to 60 tachymeter scale is also displayed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This Heuer Audi Sport is powered by the 17 jewel Lemania Cal. 5100 automatic-winding movement, beating at a rate of 28’800A\/h.

Interestingly, the movement for the Heuer Audi Sport was modified by Lemania to remove the 24 hour register at 12 o’clock, typically seen on other examples featuring a Cal. 5100.

These wristwatches were the first to be launched by the ‘Breitling EIGHT’ Military aviation division; bearing many of the classic hallmarks typically associated with military pilot’s wristwatches. The ‘Breitling EIGHT Air Force’ utilized the latest technical advancements to manufacture highly-specialised equipment, using only materials of the best quality, such as cockpit clocks, oscillographs as well as complicated wristwatches. Post-AVI designation, fewer than 1000 ‘Unitime’ examples are estimated to have been produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe reference 765 ‘AVI’ predates Breguet’s famous type ‘XX’, introduced in 1954 and issued to the ‘Armée de l’Air, Aeronavale’ and ‘C.E.V’ (Centre d’Essais en Vol – Flight Test Center). The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example, the Breitling 1765 ‘Unitime’, with serial number (127,6XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter, denoting it is an earlier example based upon a ‘765 CP’ case, rather than the slightly-larger ‘7650’ case. It has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all ‘765’ examples, the case-back is screw-down, and features sharply preserved engraving; “1765 Unitime”, along with ‘WATERPROOF - SHOCK PROTECTED - ANTIMAGNETIC - STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve Unitime' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. Visible at six o’clock, below the twelve-hour register, a 'SWISS' marking is replaced on the reference 1765 by the letter ’T’, denoting the Tritium luminescent material on the dial. The case features a, bi-directional, rotating bezel with twenty four-hour graduation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the thirty-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively. The minute-recording sub-register features a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand, ensuring optimal legibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 24-hour time, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual twelve-hour dial, this modified movement has twenty-four hour dial in which the hour hand takes twenty four hours to make a full rotation. The request for the 24-hour modification was first made by US Navy test pilot and astronaut Lt Cmdr Scott Carpenter, who wore a Breitling Navitimer (12-hour version) during the 1950’s.\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\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;\"\u003eBreitling\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;\"\u003eUnitime Ref. 1765\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. 178\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;\"\u003echronograph, 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;\"\u003e24-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored 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;\"\u003e41 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;\"\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\nThis Breitling Unitime 1765 is in excellent overall condition.

It has its original, silver-on-black reverse “panda” dial, with the outer date ring and sub-registers contrasting beautifully against the matte black dial. The watch also has matching, all original patina on the tritium hour markers and hands. Finally, it has its original, Heuer-signed crown and comes on a black leather rally strap.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many of Heuer’s most iconic chronographs, the origins of the Carrera can be traced back to 60s motorsport. It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, a legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. 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. Taking inspiration from this, Heuer chronograph wristwatches throughout the 1960s and 70s were often the tool of choice for professional race-car drivers, owing much to Jack Heuer’s appreciation for motorsport, and hands-on approach with its teams and drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heuer Carrera 2547NS epitomises the brand's famous sixties spirit and design philosophy. 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.

By the time of his passing, Jim Clark was motor-racing’s most successful winner, with 25 Grand Prix victories to his name. Enicar’s association with motorsport also extends to British Formula One Champion Stirling Moss, who chose Enicar’s Ultrasonic Sherpa Chronometer as his personal timekeeper during time trials. The “Sherpa” name is inspired by that of the resilient local carriers of the 1956 Swiss Himalayan expedition to Everest, which relied on Enicar timepieces. These chronographs were intended to be tool watches and were used as such in a range of professional endeavours. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Enicar Sherpa Graph 300, with serial number 126 XXXX has a round, stainless steel ‘BREVET’ case with large chronograph pushers and an original, Saturn cross-patterned crown.

Over the years, the lume on this watch has aged to a consistent, dark orange patina, complementing the concentric, grey oversized registers fantastically.

The watch is accompanied by a service guarantee card from \u003cem\u003eTag Heuer\u003c\/em\u003e, dated March 2017. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The compelling story of this watch begins from its year of purchase, in 1964 - coinciding with the year the original owner took up motorcycle-racing. As such, this '\u003cem\u003eAutavia\u003c\/em\u003e' (derived from a combination of the words 'AUTOmobile' and 'AVIAtion') was an excellent fit. In 1965, the owner took part in the \u003cem\u003eManx Grand Prix\u003c\/em\u003e, held on the same circuit as the famous \u003cem\u003eIsle of Man TT\u003c\/em\u003e. He quickly progressed to other races, mixing with international motorcycle legends Giacomo Agostini and Mike Hailwood, in ’68. That same year, the owner met and became good friends with Barry Sheene and his father Franco, who looked after his \u003cem\u003eBultaco\u003c\/em\u003e race bike at their workshop in Queen Square, Holborn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He continued to race throughout the late 60’s and early 70’s, including time at the works \u003cem\u003eBMW\u003c\/em\u003e factory team in 1973, with races in Rouen and Le Mans (France), Barcelona (Spain) and Imola (Italy), along with British nationals and internationals. Upon retirement from racing, the owner trained as a scuba-diver, joining two clubs, qualifying as a 2nd class diver. With this, the watch was then put to practical use once more - its sixty-minute rotating bezel, providing a convenient visual cue for elapsed-time whilst diving, measured across England, Scotland and the Bay of Cavalier in the South of France. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was at the latter, that this \u003cem\u003eHeuer Autavia\u003c\/em\u003e proved most valuable, diving to depths of approximately 125ft (40m) - deeper than most recreational dives. With a bottom time of 11 minutes, accurate timekeeping was essential. The owner of this watch was one of three close friends who enjoyed the sport together, opting to use this method of timing on the wrist between them. Though not typically associated with diving, this second-execution \u003cem\u003e2446\u003c\/em\u003e survived unscathed, having saved its owner (and friends) on more than one occasion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This second-execution \u003cem\u003eHeuer Autavia 2446\u003c\/em\u003e, with serial number 57 XXX has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original signed, fluted crown.

The case was refinished during servicing by \u003cem\u003eTag Heuer\u003c\/em\u003e, though the correct angles and finishes have been applied.

The lume dot markings for the hours are intact and completely original, having aged to a dark orange. It features a white \u003cem\u003eHeuer\u003c\/em\u003e logo, while 'AUTAVIA' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock.

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. The Heuer Carrera was available in two or three-register layouts; with this 3647N example featuring the former. The ’N’ stands for “noir,” denoting its all-black dial. This example is one of the later models produced, as evidenced by its signed crown and ’T-Swiss’ dial.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike many of Heuer’s most iconic chronographs, the origins of the Carrera can be traced back to 60s motorsport. It was inspired by one of history’s most dangerous events, the “Carrera Panamericana”, the legendary border-to-border sedan and sports car racing of the 1950’s, on the open roads of Mexico. 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. Taking inspiration from this, Heuer chronograph wristwatches throughout the 1960s and 70s were often the tool of choice for professional racecar drivers, owing much to Jack Heuer’s appreciation for motorsport, and hands-on approach with its teams and drivers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Heuer Carrera 3647N has a “T Swiss” dial.

Considered an expensive luxury purchase at the time, the Chronostop has since become one of the most affordable, high-quality vintage watches for collectors today. This example, the Ref. ST145.007, was purchased on the 20th November 1971 and comes as a full-set, with both its inner and outer boxes and accompanying paperwork. \u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When the Seamaster Chronostop launched, the watch was afforded many of the same technical innovations and refinements as Omega’s top-of-the-line sports watches, carrying Omega’s manual-winding, calibre 865 at its heart. Based upon a Lemania ebauche, and beating at 21,600 A\/h, this 17-jewel movement was derived from the famed calibre 861 (used in the Omega Speedmaster), yet the calibre 865 was only ever used in the Chronostop. With its extreme accuracy, shock-resistance and internal anti-magnetic protection (owing to its Incabloc shock absorber and and mono-metallic balance respectively), the calibre 865 was an excellent addition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Seamaster Chronostop is a unique type of chronograph - similar to that of a fly-back, using a single pusher to operate the stopwatch function. Pressing the pusher once starts the chronograph seconds-hand. Pressing again, and keeping the pusher depressed, stops the hand and holds it in place. Releasing the pusher then resets the chronograph seconds hand back to zero. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of Omega’s largest vintage models, the Seamaster Chronostop has a tonneau shape case measuring 41mm (excluding the crown and pusher). This elegant, tonneau form and deeply- polished bevelling allow the watch to wear comfortably and discretely on the wrist. The top of the case displays a brushed, “sun-burst” surface, seen in many examples from late 60’s and 70’s and seldom seen today. The reverse of the watch is polished, with a screw-down case back bearing the engraved Hippocampus, found on many Omega watches. The Omega hallmark, 'WATERPROOF' and ‘TESTED 120M' are also visible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Beneath the raised Omega box-crystal (with an Omega hallmark etched in the centre), the matte-black dial of this Ref. ST145.007 demonstrates sporting intentions, with a fixed inner-tachymeter allowing the user to measure the speed of a travelling object, over a fixed distance. Within the tachymeter is a contrasting, off-white, chapter-ring, with black markers for minutes and chronograph seconds. The dial is faceted, with applied polished-steel indexes, while “OMEGA CHRONOSTOP” and “SEAMASTER” are printed in white at 12 and 6 o’clock respectively. The luminous baton hands are white, offering maximum legibility, with an orange chronograph seconds hand, matching the colour of the Omega logo on the dial. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This full-set, Omega Chronostop ST145.007 comes fitted with a grey suede strap and steel tang buckle. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewings can be arranged in Central London.\u003cbr\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 style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"63\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 20px;\" width=\"213\"\u003eOmega\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\"\u003eSeamaster Chronostop \u003cspan\u003eRef.

This early example, (No. 0X), further features a highly sought-after angular crystal, also seen in the UR-103 ‘Hexagon’. It is understood that Urwerk planned to revert to the more conventional curved design, seen in other reference 103s, after 50 pieces of the UR-103.08 were produced. However, due to difficulties in cutting the sharp angles, it is rumoured that less than 20 examples were ever produced in this rare configuration.\n\u003c!-- SECTION BREAK --\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell known in industry for its exceptional properties, the TiAlN (Titanium-Aluminum-Nitride) coating (less than 4 microns thick) has the effect of multiplying the resistance of the underlying metal to scratches, shock, oxidation and even acids. Applied to the UR-103.08, this offered the hardest steel coating known in the world of haute-horlogerie, fully-embodying Urwerk’s approach to combining horological art and cutting-edge technology. The colour of ‘TiAlN’ is dependant on the Titanium\/Aluminium ratio, ranging from the bronze\/aubergine colour seen on the UR-103.08, to a deep brown\/black.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The increased durability of this coating is evident in the numbers. Although lighter than gold, TiAlN-coated steel measures 3500 Vickers in hardness - close to that of sapphire, at 4000 Vickers. This compares to a much lower hardness of 380 and 600 Vickers for gold and uncoated-steel, respectively. As explained by Felix Baumgartner, master watchmaker and co-founder of URWERK, “Profiting from the latest technical advances to continue developing our models is a must for URWERK. It was only after having seen and extensively tested the exceptional properties of TiAlN that we created our very first 103 steel case watch. The TiAlN appears to have the gift of endowing supernatural properties to common metals like steel.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reference UR-103.08 uses the same principles for its case design as others in the 103 collection, yet appears smaller on the wrist, owing to the colour given to the case with the TiAlN coating. With a sci-fi aesthetic, the case has a large crown recessed at 12 o’clock, as well as deep, linear, engravings running vertically on the curved case surface. With this direct lineage to the original UR-103, launched in 2003, and the later UR-103.03 ‘Targa’ (where Urwerk’s now-iconic revolving conical satellite indications were first exposed beneath a sapphire crystal), the watch measures at 50mm from lug-to-lug (36mm across). A thickness of only 13.5mm (including the lugs), allows for a comfortable fit beneath the cuff of a shirt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Within the retro-futuristic case of the UR-103.08 is URWERK’s interpretation of wandering hours -  the complication in which the hour travels along an arc of 60 minutes, with the next hour appearing at the beginning of the arc, as the old hour reaches the end.  The 12-hours are arranged in groups of three on each of the four satellites, carried on four arms of a revolving carousel. As the carousel revolves, the four satellites successively pass over four Maltese crosses, rotating each satellite, with the hours following one another across the 60-minute sector. The hour-satellites are made from aluminium and the orbital cross in grade 2 titanium, coated with black PVD for maximum contrast. Against these dark surfaces, the numerals and minute markers are filled using luminous material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowering the wandering hours satellites is Urwerk’s manual-winding Calibre 3.03, beating at 21,600bph\/3Hz, with a power-reserve of 43-hours. The reverse of the watch features a ‘grade 5’ titanium control board, where a power-reserve indicator is displayed, as well as the 15 minute and seconds dials for precise time setting. There is also a user adjustable fine-tuning screw that acts on the index which changes the rate of the balance, by altering the effective length of the balance-spring. The owner can thus adjust the rate of the watch to gain or lose up to 30 seconds a day. This was a feature commonly seen in Pocket-watches, often left un-sealed so the owner could easily open the watch and set the index fast or slow. However some makers, including Abraham-Louis Breguet, provided for adjustment without opening the case, as seen in this UR-103.08. Such a device is extremely rare in modern wristwatches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch comes as a full-set, with box and papers from the manufacturer, and is fitted on the original brown alligator leather strap. This example is also fitted with a rare, original TiAlN tang 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\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;\"\u003eUrwerk\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;\"\u003eUR-103.08 TiAlN\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;\"\u003emanual-winding Calibre 3.03\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;\"\u003ewandering-hours, power-reserve, 15 minutes and seconds setting display\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;\"\u003eTiAlN coated steel case, UR-103 case design\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;\"\u003e50 x 36mm\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;\"\u003eangular sapphire\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;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoriginal dark brown crocodile\u003c\/span\u003e\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;\"\u003efull-set, box, papers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis very rare Urwerk UR-103.08 TiAlN is from circa 2007 and comes as a full set, with box, papers and all other accompanying materials.

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.

These wristwatches were the first to be launched by the ‘Breitling EIGHT’ Military aviation division; bearing many of the classic hallmarks typically associated with military pilot’s wristwatches. The ‘Breitling EIGHT Air Force’ utilized the latest technical advancements to manufacture highly-specialised equipment, using only materials of the best quality, such as cockpit clocks, oscillographs as well as complicated wristwatches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The reference 765 ‘AVI’ predates Breguet’s famous type ‘XX’, introduced in 1954 and issued to the ‘Armée de l’Air, Aeronavale’ and ‘C.E.V’ (Centre d’Essais en Vol – Flight Test Center). The French military used watches by Breguet, Auricoste and Vixa. The Breitling 765 ‘AVI’, produced in 1953, was seemingly the influential benchmark used throughout the design process of these later examples, emphasizing legibility, waterproofness, and enhanced reliability. Further examples of Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ variants have been found displaying case-backs stamped by the Aeronautica Militare; AM – Italian Air Force. Whilst these examples are unconfirmed to be of direct military issuance, Breitling is known to have produced military watches for The Paracadutisti R.A.O “Folgore” (Italian Special Forces, 185th Lightning Paratrooper Division) some years later. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Breitling 765 'AVI', with serial number (989,XXX) has a round, stainless steel case with large chronograph pushers and an original Breitling, fluted crown. The case measures 41 mm in diameter and has thick straight-line lugs with sharp bevels, retaining exceptional definition. Like all original examples, the screw-down case-back features sharply preserved engraving; “AVI 765”, along with ‘WATERPROOF- SHOCK PROTECTED – ANTIMAGNETIC – STAINLESS-STEEL’ and the manufacturer's signature. Further to this, the case-back additionally features the name of the original owner engraved at the centre, typically found on examples used in active-service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While the Breitling 765 ‘AVI’ was produced with a range of dial configurations, the “reverse panda” was officially adopted by Breitling between 1962 and ’64, and produced until late 1964, when the reference received a significant update; removing all references to the ‘AVI’ designation from its catalogues and official literature, and replacing it with the acronym CP (Co-Pilot). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe case features a steel, bi-directional rotating bezel with twelve-hour graduation. The inlaid, black paint has since worn away, consistent with use. The matte black dial is very well preserved, has white minute markers and luminous index markers for the hours. The tritium lume on the stick handset and index hour markers has aged to a scorched yellow tone, complementing the patina on the sub-registers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It features a white Breitling logo, while 'Breitling Geneve' is referenced on the dial at twelve o'clock. A 'SWISS' marking is visible at six o'clock below the twelve-hour sub-register. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph, minute and hour hands are white, giving the dial a nice monochromatic look. The sub-registers at three, six and nine o'clock are the fifteen-minute, twelve-hour and the sub-second dials, respectively, featuring a single Arabic numeral at the twelve o’clock position. The minute-recording sub-register features unique lume-dashes, marking every three minutes, as well as a luminescent ‘arrow’ hand to ensure optimal legibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe watch carries a manual-winding Venus calibre 178, considered by many as one of the most famous column wheel operated chronograph calibres of all time. The movement features 17 jewels and a modified 15-minute subsidiary-register at the 3 o’clock position, beating at 18,000 A\/h, with a power reserve of 45-hours. This 'standard' column wheel movement for Breitling Chronographs has a twist; instead of the usual thirty-minute subsidiary at three o'clock, this modified movement has a fifteen-minute counter. This was designed to offer greater precision for pilots, as the duration of the counter is that of a plane's pre-flight check required to clear for takeoff.\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\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\"\u003eBreitling\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\"\u003eAVI Ref. 765\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 manual-winding Cal. 178\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\"\u003echronograph, hours, minutes, sub-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\"\u003e12-hour graduation rotating bezel, unrestored dial\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\"\u003e41 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\"\u003eplexiglass\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\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Breitling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12222358552659,"sku":"WSS B490","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/5325\/products\/Breitling_765_AVI_pilots_steel_chronograph_watch_at_A_Collected_Man_London9_a3defd79-2799-43c5-b024-60d3b81038c1.jpg?v=1648483527"},{"product_id":"patek-philippe-nautilus-3700","title":"Nautilus 3700\/001 | Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eMore than forty years have passed since the introduction of the original Patek Philippe Nautilus and this now classic timepiece, is more popular than ever. 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.
