Piaget

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.

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.

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.

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

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 Datejust was the first self-winding watch to show the date in a window on the dial that jumps out 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.

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.

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 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.

Audemars Piguet

Launched in 1972, the first Royal Oak ref. 5402 was designed by one of the most prolific watch designer, Gerald Genta. Inspired from a scaphander diving helmet and drawed in one night, this model has no precedent at this period : a 39mm steel case which gave the nickname “Jumbo” to this model and its impressive pricing of 3,750 CHF, more than ten times the price of a Rolex Submariner.

Alongside production of the iconic Royal Oak, a reduced-sized version of this watch was launched around 1976/1977, ref. 4100. A few generation apart, reference 14790 was produced from 1992 to 2006. 

This example manufactured in 2001 displays a "Mark 2" dial, consistent with the period, recognizable by the "Small Tapisserie" dial and the typography of "Audemars Piguet". 

The major aspect of the model is undoubtedly its **salmon dial**.
The salmon color appeared in 1992 with the Royal Oak Jumbo model reference 14802, marking the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak. It also appeared in Royal Oak Mid-Size version reference 14800 introduced in 1994.
At the time, a few privileged clients were able to separately order, from Audemars Piguet or official retailers, a salmon dial separately to fit their 14790ST while keeping the original dark dial with which the watch was originally sold.

The watch comes as a full set with its box, outer-box, Audemars Piguet certificate of origin and the original dark blue dial.

This Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 is one of the most iconic vintage watch. A 36mm steel case well proportioned, the fluted bezel in white gold 14k and the well-known Jubilee bracelet.

The Datejust was the first self-winding watch to indicate the date in a window on the dial which instantly jumps at midnight to ensure the date is “just” at all time. With its timeless design, a perfect readability of time, the date window and its self-winding movement, this model remains, since the launch in 1945, one of the most popular Rolex watch.

This 1964 model features all the typical elements of those years: a "Swiss only" dial, "Alpha" hands and an original Jubilee bracelet with folded links and "Big Crown" buckle. In addition, this watch made for the Japanese market features a "no lume" dial.

The watch comes with its box, a 1964 certificate of origin and a 1973 overhaul certificate.

The Nautilus is one of Patek Philippe's best-known models. Designed by Gérald Genta, who also designed Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak, the Nautilus reference 3700 was introduced in 1976 as the Manufacture's first luxury steel sports watch. 

Nicknamed "Jumbo" thanks to its imposing 42 mm diameter for the time, this model got off to a rocky start and was declined over the years with different materials and dials, and in smaller diameters a few years later.

The distinctive case, with its porthole-shaped flanks and octagonal bezel, as well as the bracelet, are characteristic Nautilus features. The black dial features a horizontal stripe pattern, giving the watch a sporty look.

The Nautilus reference 3700 was produced in two distinct series - with two subtle variations in bracelet design. The first, reference 3700/1 produced from 1976 to 1982, features a slightly wider strap with a 16mm buckle. The second, reference 3700/11 produced from 1982 to 1990, has a thinner bracelet with a 14mm buckle. 

This model is equipped with the caliber 28-255, a self-winding movement with date, based on Jaeger-LeCoultre's caliber 920, considered by many to be one of the most refined automatic calibers.

The watch comes with a Patek Philippe archive extract confirming the year of production as 1982 and the date of sale as September 28, 1984. The archive extract is dated March 25, 2004.

Launched in 1932 with the ref. 96, the Calatrava collection embodies timeless elegance and represents one of the most iconic designs that have contributed to Patek's worldwide fame.

The present example ref. 2532 was introduced to the market in 1952 and remained in production for a span of five years until 1956, during which approximately 300 pieces were produced.

Together with its sibling model, the reference 2533, which features a center seconds hand, these watches are smaller versions of the renowned reference 565. The water-resistant-type case of the ref. 2532 is only one millimeter smaller in diameter than the reference 565. 

Following the exquisite Calatrava style, the solid case of the watch features a stepped design, a screw-down waterproof caseback, and solid concave lugs. The watch is powered by the manual winding caliber 12-400, introduced in 1949 with an updated design of its regulator and an additional shock-resistant suspension on the balance wheel compared to caliber 12-120.
The dial, finished in a matte silver tone, showcases applied yellow-gold baton indexes, an outer perlage minute track, a small seconds at 6 o'clock, and yellow gold dauphine hands.
