Clasp

Piaget's catalogue of the past is a true masterpiece of style. The models are not only eye-catching, they also feature textures that can be truly breathtaking when experienced in person. 

Piaget has been famous for its quest for the extra-flat since the 1950s, with the 9P movement unveiled in Geneva in **1957**, which was acclaimed for its thinness at just 2mm thick and its elegance, as well as for its performance and reliability.

The model reference is designated **H24** specifying the type of finishing on the case and bracelet.

This model, dating from 1969, features a superb dial paved with **165** brilliant-cut diamonds. The "Clou de Paris" decorative motif on the case and bracelet consists of small pyramid-shaped reliefs.

Moreover, given the complexity of the craftsmanship involved in creating these bracelets, reproducing these pieces today would entail substantial costs for manufacturers.

This watch comes with a 2024 Piaget Service Invoice (2-year warranty) and a Piaget travel case.

The Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 is one of our most iconic vintage watches. A well-proportioned 36 mm steel case, the fluted 14k white gold bezel and the famous Jubilee bracelet.

The Datejust was the first self-winding watch to show the date in a window on the dial that jumps instantly at midnight to ensure that the date is "right" at all times. With its timeless design, perfect time legibility, date window and self-winding movement, this model has remained one of the most popular Rolex watches since its launch in 1945.

This 1971 model features a superb blue "Pie-pan" dial that is particularly rare; the majority of production was done with silver dials.

Under the dial we find the caliber 1570, with stop seconds for precise adjustment, which has a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

The watch is delivered as watch only.

Weighing 170g in white gold, this 34mm model features an **onyx** dial creating a superb contrast with the white gold case. The bezel is also set with **36** brilliant-cut diamonds.
Beneath the dial, the mechanical self-winding caliber 12P is equipped with a micro-rotor for added finesse, and has a power reserve of around 40 hours.

Reference 12336 identifies the model and C20 specifies the type of finish on the case and bracelet. The same as a similar model [we recently had](https://geneva.41watch.com/catalogue/piaget/heritage/1777-piaget-heritage-brutalist). 

What's more, given the complexity of the craftsmanship involved in creating these bracelets, reproducing these pieces today would entail substantial costs for manufacturers.

Patek Philippe

Pin buckle

This yellow-gold Patek Philippe is a special watch among the Manufacture's collections. This model from the '70s comes at a turbulent time for the watchmaking industry. The quartz crisis was reshuffling the deck, and some watchmakers decided to go against the grain and develop, thanks to their talented craftsmen, more complicated and finer mechanical movements and particularly daring designs.

The ref. 4385 featured here has a rectangular case inspired by the Cartier Tank model, but with the sides set with 42 diamonds in a braided pattern. This simple yet atypical design showcases Patek Philippe's expertise with this goldsmith's work on the case. The dial in onyx, a naturally minimalist stone, contrasts with the work on the case, and the black color contrasts with the yellow gold of the case and allows the dauphine hands to stand out for perfect time reading.

This model is equipped with the hand-wound mechanical caliber 16-250, which offers a power reserve of around 38 hours.

The watch is delivered with its original buckle and Patek Philippe archive extract.

The model reference is designated *C4** specifying the type of finish on the case and bracelet, with Piaget also telling us that 2047 pieces with this finish were produced between 1964 and 1993.

This model, dating from 1978 and delivered in New York, features a superb onyx dial that creates a striking contrast with the yellow gold. Completely covering the case and bracelet, the “Clou de Paris” decorative motif is made up of small pyramid-shaped reliefs.

Moreover, given the complexity of the craftsmanship involved in creating these bracelets, reproducing these pieces today would entail substantial costs for manufacturers.

With its timeless design, perfect time legibility, date window and self-winding movement, this model has remained one of the most popular Rolex watches since its launch in 1945.

The Lady-Datejust model was introduced in 1957. It features all the characteristics of the Datejust model in 36mm, while its 26mm-diameter case makes it particularly suitable for slim wrists.

This **1991** model features a rare dial paved with diamonds and sapphires, a particularly attractive combination. The crystal, with a cyclops lens at 3 o'clock for easy date reading, is made of virtually scratchproof sapphire, and the three-link President bracelet features a Crownclasp clasp.

Beneath the dial is caliber 2135, with stop seconds for precise time setting, and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

Introduced in 1956, it was the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week in a window on the dial. Made exclusively from precious metals, it has always been synonymous with luxury, elegance and prestige.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18028 was produced between 1978 and 1989. This model, with its **smooth bezel**, is particularly rare. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in semi-precious stone or wood, but all were now flat, unlike the domed dials present on the older reference 1803. Others were equipped with highly colored lacquered dials, the famous “**Stella**” dials. 

The name comes from a company called Stella, which supplied Rolex dialmakers with the special lacquer and gloss pigment used to make these dials. As these dials were produced over several decades, the colors and shades vary considerably. The example we have is bright red, creating a superb contrast with the yellow gold case.

Over the course of production, 4 types of dial have been produced, and the model we have here features a **4th** and last **generation** dial, recognizable by the chemin de fer minute track with Roman numerals signalling every five minutes.

The 2 most useful improvements for this reference were the addition of a sapphire crystal to guarantee greater water-resistance, and the quick date-setting function via the crown. This technical advance was made possible by the new 3055 caliber, replacing the 1555 caliber used in the previous generation.

As soon as this model was released, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English being the most common, but our model also features Italian.

This watch comes with its box, original warranty, card holder and manuals.

With its timeless design, perfect time legibility, date window and self-winding movement, this model has remained one of the most popular Rolex watches since its launch in 1945.

The Lady-Datejust model was introduced in 1957. It incorporates all the features of the Datejust model in a 36mm size, while its 26mm-diameter case makes it particularly well-suited to a slim wrist.

This 1978 model features a rare **Coral** dial, manufactured by Stern Frères in the early 1970s using a new ultrasonic cutting technique. With its woodgrain-like texture and bright orange hue, this stone dial offers depth and a unique contrast to the yellow gold case.

The hallmarks visible on the caseback represent an owl, and on the buckle, a weevil, a sign that this piece was imported into France for its original sale.

Under the dial is the 2135 caliber, with stop seconds for precise time setting, and a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

The watch is delivered as watch only.

Introduced in 1956, it was the first wristwatch to display both the date and the day of the week in apertures on the dial. Made exclusively from precious metals, it has always been synonymous with luxury, elegance and prestige.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 18038 was produced between 1978 and 1989. A wide variety of dial configurations were offered at the time, including some in wood or semi-precious stone, as shown here with this superb **lapis lazuli** dial.

Natural stone dials, such as **Lapis lazuli**, **Onyx** or **Tiger eye**, began to be manufactured by Stern Frères in the early 1970s, thanks to the development of ultrasonic drilling techniques. Rolex, a loyal customer of Stern, was among the first to use these dials in its watches, notably in the Datejust model with four-digit references, and they were later mounted on Day-Dates with the introduction of five-digit references like the 18038 we have here.

The special feature of lapis lazuli is that it gives each watch a unique appearance due to the stone's natural variations, thanks in particular to inclusions of white calcite and golden pyrite.

The condition of a stone dial is an essential factor in its value, as they are relatively fragile and tend to crack over time. So a perfectly intact dial like this one will be much more sought-after and valued.

This watch is delivered as watch only.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to simultaneously display the day and date through an opening in the dial. Rolex has never shied away from its association with influential personalities, including a number of presidents, which earned this model its nickname.

With a diameter of 36mm, reference 1803 was produced from the early 1960s to 1977. It was the first generation of Day-Date to be produced for more than 15 years. The main feature of this model is its domed “Pie-pan” dial and domed Plexiglas crystal. On this precise model, the dial features a graduated minute track and a particularly attractive grey/cream matte finish.

The Rolex caliber 1555 has a power reserve of around 42 hours and is not equipped with the crown-operated quick-date system, a feature that appears with the following reference 18038 and caliber 3055.

The “President” bracelet fitted to this watch was introduced when this model was launched in 1956. This model is also equipped with a folding clasp with invisible clasp, an option available at the time, but more expensive than the classic version with cap.

As soon as this model was launched, Rolex offered a choice of 25 different languages for the day display, English being the most commonly used worldwide.

Introduced in 1968, Patek Philippe's Ellipse owes its design to no accident. Indeed, it is based on the golden ratio, considered the “divine proportion” found in nature as well as in the greatest works of architecture and art.

Ref. 3589 made its debut in 1970, coinciding with the advent of larger, more prominent cases. This reference was available in a variety of materials and dial styles, but this configuration is arguably the one that stands out most from the rest thanks to the way the indexes and numerals on the dial are made, by being hollowed out, giving extra depth compared to the variants with applied or painted indexes more common at the time. 

The dials, crafted by specialist Singer for Patek Philippe, offer a simple yet striking contrast between the yellow gold indexes and hands and the blue dial with its sunray finish. 
The “Sigma σ” symbol on the dial at 6 o'clock was introduced in the 1970s by the Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (APRIOR), and highlights prestigious manufactures that use precious materials for their watches and indicates that the dial and hands are in gold for this model.

This version of the Ellipse, much larger than the original model, features a 32.5 x 36mm yellow gold case with a polished elliptical bezel and a slightly wider case with a sunray finish.

Another singularity is that this Ellipse is powered by the 28-255 automatic caliber, the same movement that notably equips the Nautilus 3700, underscoring its durability and which was among the finest calibers of its time. 

The watch comes with an extract from the Patek Philippe archives (on order).

The Rolex Explorer reference 1655 was launched in 1971 and remained in production until 1985. It was the first Explorer II model, with an orange 24-hour hand.

It was designed to meet the needs of cave explorers, speleologists and people working in environments where the 24-hour hand was useful for distinguishing day from night.

During the course of its production, this model was fitted with various types of dial, which were classified according to different ‘Mark’ grades. Our model is fitted with a **Mark V** dial, distinguished by a wider, higher Rolex crown and the words “**T SWISS < 25 T**” on the lower edge of the dial in a large, sans serif font.

Commonly known as “**Freccione**” (“arrow” in Italian), it received its nickname from Italian collectors over the years. This is a very unusual and unique Rolex in style, with alternating luminescent markers, a bright orange 24-hour hand and white hands.

The watch comes with box, original Rolex warranty (code 100), manuals and tag.

Piaget's catalog of the past is a true masterpiece of style. The models are not only eye-catching, they also feature textures that can be truly breathtaking when experienced in person.

Piaget has made a name for itself in particular thanks to its quest for the extra-flat since the 1950s, with the 9P movement unveiled in Geneva in **1957**, which was acclaimed for its thinness at just 2mm thick and its elegance, as well as for its performance and reliability.

The model reference is designated *A6** specifying the type of finish on the case and bracelet.

This model, dating from 1971, features a superb **malachite** dial that creates a striking contrast with the white gold. Completely covering the case and bracelet, the decorative motif is made up of fine horizontal engravings.

Moreover, given the complexity of the craftsmanship involved in creating these bracelets, reproducing these pieces today would entail substantial costs for manufacturers.

This watch comes to us from the family of the first owner and is delivered with its original box and a Piaget service invoice from 2025.

Launched in 1956, the Day-Date was the first watch to simultaneously display the day of the week and the date in separate windows on the dial. Rolex has never concealed its association with influential personalities, including many heads of state, earning this model the nickname “President”.

Reference 18296, produced from 1989 onwards, is one of the most prestigious variations of the Day-Date, made exclusively in platinum. With a diameter of 36 mm, it is distinguished by its diamond-set lugs - a detail that further accentuates its luxurious and exclusive character, and contrasts with the simplicity of the smooth bezel.

Unlike previous generations, this model is equipped with caliber 3155. This automatic movement incorporates a quick-change day and date function via the crown, a major evolution in terms of user comfort. It offers a power reserve of around 48 hours and is chronometer-certified.

The dial of this model may vary from version to version, but it is often offered with precious finishes: diamond hour markers, mother-of-pearl or fine stone dials, and day displays available in several languages, in keeping with Day-Date tradition. This particular model features a dial with diamond hour-markers. Note that dials for platinum models feature larger diamonds than those for gold models. The day display is in English, the most commonly chosen language worldwide.

The **President** bracelet, a signature of the collection since 1956, is a natural accompaniment to this reference. Also in platinum, it features a folding clasp with invisible buckle, offering excellent comfort and a refined aesthetic.

The Rolex Day-Date 18296 is thus an emblematic and particularly refined watch, combining prestige, technical innovation and horological excellence.

This particular model features a dial with diamond hour-markers. Note that dials for platinum models feature larger diamonds than those for gold models. The day display is in English, the most commonly chosen language worldwide.

The **President** bracelet, a signature of the collection since 1956, is a natural accompaniment to this reference. Also in platinum, it features a **folding clasp with invisible clasp**, offering excellent comfort and a refined aesthetic.

The Rolex Day-Date 18296 is thus an emblematic and particularly refined watch, combining prestige, technical innovation and horological excellence.

The watch is delivered with an additional Roman numerals dial, a 2025 Rolex service card and a travel pouch.

The Patek Philippe reference 3855 is distinguished by its atypical case: neither completely octagonal, nor elliptical, nor cushion-shaped, but a blend for a unique result.

Manufactured by the dial maker Singer for Patek Philippe, the brown dial varies depending on the light and features a sunburst finish. This color, very rare for the time, blends perfectly with the yellow gold of the case. The applied indexes and dauphine hands make the time perfectly legible.

This model is equipped with a hand-wound mechanical movement, the caliber 215, which first appeared in 1974 and remains a cornerstone of Patek Philippe's ultra-thin movements and is still used in some models in current production. The caliber 215 was the first to be equipped with the Gyromax, operating at 28,800 beats per hour. This movement is distinguished by its remarkable stability over long periods, making it ideal for everyday use.

The watch comes with its Patek Philippe archive extract.

Introduced in 1968, the Ellipse owes its design to no coincidence, since it is based on the golden ratio, considered the “divine proportion” found in nature and in the greatest works of architecture and art.

Initially manufactured by dial-maker Singer for Patek Philippe, the bronze-colored dial varies according to the light and features a soleillée finish. This color blends perfectly with the rose gold of the case, creating a contrast that is both extremely simple and striking.

Throughout the production process, 4 different types of dial were used, and we have written a full article about them, which you can discover [here](https://www.41watch.com/blog/revue-historique-de-la-patek-philippe-ellipse-n178)

Our example is fitted with an MK4 dial, recognizable by the domed hour-markers and hands and the “Swiss” visible on the dial at 6 o'clock.

This “Jumbo” version of the Ellipse is equipped with a mechanical self-winding micro-rotor movement, caliber 240, which made its debut in this model, reference 3738, in 1977, nine years after the launch of the collection.

This was the first self-winding generation to introduce the legendary micro-rotor caliber 240. A true horological feat, this Manufacture caliber preserves a case of unrivalled finesse while providing a power reserve of around 45 hours.

The watch is delivered with its Patek Philippe archive extract (to follow).
