PHP 1,500,000 – 1,600,000 Unlike the Double-Red Sea Dweller Ref. 1665, the Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665 introduced in 1977 features the “SEA-DWELLER” text in white instead of crimson, and also omits the “Submariner” label as an indication that the Sea-Dweller model would branch out on its own. It earned the nickname “Great White” because of its all-white text, a trend that the Sea-Dweller line would continue for future models. 7

PHP 1,500,000 – 1,600,000 This Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16550 is a transitional model produced at a time when Rolex was only just beginning to shift to more modern materials such as paint that resisted fading over time. Some of these transitional white dials aged to a gorgeous cream color, making these cream dial Ref. 16550 Explorers highly desirable to collectors. This particular example also features a “rail dial”, with the gap between the words “superlative” and “chronometer”, and “officially” and “certified” forming a parallel rail. 10

AUDEMARS PIGUET In 2018 at the 29th Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), in Geneva, Switzerland, amongst their esteemed peers, Audemars Piguet was making history. Still a prototype, they presented a watch then bearing the name “RD#2,” but better known by the concept it was proving: that the Swiss house, already famed for assembling some of the thinnest watches ever made, could manage the world’s thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar. Thin timepieces by themselves are already remarkable feats of engineering, commanding the most delicate manufacturing with the tightest tolerances. But solving the problem of a three-level perpetual calendar complication being re-engineered onto a single, slim level demands more than savoir- faire—it requires unprecedented technical prowess. A year later, Audermars Piguet unveiled the fruits of their labor: a concept no more, the RD#2 presents its production countenance with a name befitting its stature: the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin. 13
A SVELTE SUCCESSION Performing miracles of engineering isn’t a skill developed overnight. The journey to the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin is one dating back nearly a hundred years, when Audemars Piguet manufactured the thinnest pocket watch ever crafted in 1921, where calibre 17SVF#5’s movement measured a mere 1.32mm in thickness. The Manufacture continued its technological advancement through the decades, landing on significant horological achievements along the way, including model 5516 with the first perpetual calendar with a leap year indicator in 1955, and calibre 2120 in 1967, the thinnest self-winding movement of its time with a 2.45mm thickness and a product of Audemars Piguet’s focus on extra-thin mechanisms in a post- war era. But it was in 1986 when the Manufacture presented one of its crowning achievements. Caliber 2870 showed the world what the thinnest self-winding automatic tourbillon looked like. The movement kept its title of thinnest tourbillon for decades until it was unseated in 2018, when, as demonstrated in Geneva, Audemars Piguet was already in development of their next mechanical milestone. AN ULTRA-THIN UNDERTAKING To build a thin watch isn’t so much a matter of size, but a matter of space. With a thin watch, the clearance between components is next to nothing, meaning issues with alignment or motion within the confined mechanism could spell the end of the movement. Miniscule parts—of which the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin has 256—must be manufactured even more precisely with no room for error. Were Audemars Piguet aiming to make a simple time-teller, its manufacture would be much more fundamental, but that is simply not good enough for this watch. As if being the thinnest self-winding perpetual calendar wasn’t enough, the number of the watch’s complications pushed the Manufacture to develop a number of innovations for this new caliber 5133, including two patented mechanisms: the end-of-the-month cam’s integration into the date wheel, and the month cam’s combination with the month wheel. This allowed the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin to compress the entire movement to a mere 2.89mm thick while still presenting all its functions on its dial, including a moon phase, perpetual calendar with day, date, and month, as well as symmetric sub-dials for day/night and leap year indicators at the 8 and 4 o’clock positions respectively. Each dial is subtly sunk into the matte, brushed blue dial of the watch, improved from the original RD#2 to focus on utmost legibility. A self-winding mechanism beating at 2.75 hz with a 40-hour power reserve completes its specifications. The thinnest movement also means that the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin manages a remarkably slight and subtle case, presenting with its signature octagon design at 41mm from the front and an unprecedented and elegant 6.3mm from the side. Combined with a titanium case and 950 platinum bezel and center links on the bracelet, the watch is every bit the bold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak while wearing light on the wrist thanks to all its 14 technical accouterments.
FIRST OF ITS NAME When building the RD#2, Audemars Piguet set out to make a horological masterpiece. With the Royal Oak Selfwinding Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin, once again, they’ve made history. We are beyond delighted to present a brand new example for auction, which to our knowlede, is the first time in the world this reference will be available for bids. 20 AUDEMARS PIGUET AN EXCEPTIONAL, RARE, AND DESIRABLE ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING PERPETUAL CALENDAR ULTRA-THIN, REF. 26586IP.

PATEK PHILIPPE NAUTILUS TIFFANY DIAL The partnership between Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. spans nearly two centuries dating back to 1851, when Antoine Norbert de Patek and Charles Tiffany met in New York over dinner. They signed an agreement making Tiffany & Co. the first retailer in America to carry Patek Philippe watches – a collaboration that continues to this day with Patek Philippe currently being the only watchmaker to feature the Tiffany & Co. brand on the dials of a select few. While Tiffany & Co. has never revealed how many Patek Philippe dials it has stamped or how many they have sold, Patek Philippe timepieces with the Tiffany & Co. mark are widely considered to be among the rarest in production. Timepieces from the Patek Philippe Nautilus line – one of the most iconic in the industry – are notoriously difficult to obtain. Yet, as difficult as they are to acquire, Patek Philippe models bearing the Tiffany & Co. stamp are even harder to come by, with the extremely limited examples often reserved for a few choice clients. Unsurprisingly, these Nautilus watches have achieved record-breaking sales during the times they have appeared at auction. 24
25
The Patek Philippe Moon Phase Ref. 5712 was introduced in 2006 alongside several other models to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Nautilus collection. A year prior, Patek Philippe had released the Ref. 3712/1A, which was the most complicated Nautilus at the time. In production for only 12 months, this reference served as the blueprint for its successor, which would improve on it in several ways. While staying true to the design cues of the original Nautilus Ref. 3700 and Ref. 3712, the Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5712 feature a date and moon phase indicator alongside a running seconds sub-dial at four o’clock, with a power reserve indicator at ten o’clock. It is powered by the Patek Philippe automatic caliber 240 PS IRM C LU, where the acronyms highlight the complications. They stand for “petites seconds” (small seconds), “indication de réserve de marche” (power reserve), “calendrier” (date), and “lune” (moon). It incorporates several of Patek Philippe’s horological innovations such as the four-spoke Gyromax balance wheel, and the Spiromax balance spring that maintains its 21,600 vph oscillations. 26
