Rolex Big Red Daytona Reference 6263 Full Set

This Rolex Daytona Reference 6263 is one of the best examples I have ever seen. The dial is spectacular and the lume plots are also beautiful. The hands and dial have a nice warm lume - probably the most attractive lume plots in terms of color and size I have ever seen on a Daytona. It features the correct Mark II screw-down pushers. It is paired on what appears to be the original 78350 Oyster bracelet with 571 end links. The case is very nice. It was lightly polished in the past. It features what appears to be the original acrylic bezel, which is in strong condition.

This watch has a 6.3M case serial number dating to circa 1979. It is powered by the manual-wind movement Caliber 727 made by Valjoux and is 37mm in diameter.

The watch comes with box or papers. I purchased it from the original owner in the past. It was a graduation gift to the original owner.

Patek Philippe Reference 3940J 2nd Series Full Set Unpolished

The Patek Philippe reference 3940 perpetual calendar is one of the most elegant complicated timepieces one can find from any manufacturer. This particular example is in yellow gold featuring the highly desirable 2nd series dial. The dial is English and has beautiful serifs for the month and day abbreviations in the registers.

This watch features the thin self-winding calibre 240Q with microrotor. This example dates to circa 1988. The case is 36mm. We believe it has never been polished, and is an exceptional example. It never had a display back, as seen in the early examples of the reference 3940.

The watch comes with box and certificate of origin. It was produced in circa August 1989. We can add a gold bracelet for an additional charge.

The adorned “Zenith Daytonas” are certainly among the highly desired neo-vintage Rolex models. It is powered by an automatic Calibre 4030 made by Zenith.

The case is very strong and measures in at is 40mm in diameter. The outer ring of the registers have developed a very attractive beige color. Rolex register rings on Daytonas with black dials from the early through middle 1990s would often develop some darkening to the rings. This effect is often given the nickname “Patrizzi” after the legendary auctioneer Osvaldo Patrizzi, who reportedly first identified this patina.

This example is lightly polished but strong. It dates to circa 1996 and was sold in 1997.

This watch comes papers. It does not come with a box. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

Rolex Retailed by Tiffany & Co. Datejust Reference 16220

This Rolex Datejust reference 16220 is a beautiful example with warm lume plots. However, the more special attribute is that it is among the last Rolex watches with Tiffany & Co. stamped on the dial and with a rare and beautiful black dial.

This watch is an E Serial and dates to 1990, does not include the original box and papers. The case is in strong condition and has been lightly polished in the past. It has an automatic movement (Caliber 3035 made by Rolex), and is 36mm in diameter.

Longines Military Style Watch Unpolished

This Longines is a very attractive watch. It appears to date to the 1940s and was possibly oriented for military purposes because of the fixed lugs. The case is in great shape. It measures 35mm and we believe it to be unpolished. The dial is very interesting with radial painted numerals. It appears to have the original mineral crystal which is very cool.

It does not come with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reference 11012 Travel Clock Retailed By Hermes w/ Pouch

We absolutely love Jaeger-LeCoultre’s clocks. Their catalog is spectacular and this reference 11012 travel clock is one of the coolest styles from the era. It is particularly special because it was sold by Hermès - a retailer with a wonderful relationship with JLC. The case is gold plated, and features a tortoise shell style surface on the body. The dial is spectacular and has an asymmetrical date window which is very attractive. It has a manual-wind alarm calendar.
