This Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona in Oystersteel features a white dial and an Oyster bracelet, with a Black Cerachrom bezel. More than 50 years after its creation, the Cosmograph Daytona remains in a class of its own among sport chronographs and continues to transcend time. The Cosmograph Daytona is equipped with caliber 4130, a self-winding mechanical chronograph movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 4130 is a certified Swiss chronometer. The Daytona’s chronograph is activated by pushers that screw down like the winding crown when they are not in use, guaranteeing water resistance to 100 meters. This extremely durable ceramic bezel also offers an exceptionally legible tachymetric scale, thanks a thin layer of platinum in the numerals.
Pre-owned Rolex 18k White Gold 31mm Datejust President Oyster Bracelet Ref. 178159
Rolex’s Datejust is the archetype of the classic watch, thanks to functions and aesthetics that never go out of fashion. This reference 178159 is a rather difficult to find model, as well as hard to find in super fresh condition. This Rolex Datejust President includes an 18K white gold case with factory diamond bezel, as well as a silver jubilee diamond dial and diamond lugs. The watch is in excellent condition with complete box and papers.
The Submariner has been recognized as a superb diving watch since its debut in 1953. With its classic 40mm size and aluminum bezel, the reference 16618 is beloved by Submariner fans as a link between the earliest Submariners and the modern updated models. This 16618 is a step above in refinement and luxury with the 18K yellow gold case, bezel and bracelet, which also includes a diver’s extension. This reference was the first all gold submariner to feature the caliber 3135, which is so robust that it has been used for over thirty years. The striking blue dial is designed for legibility with a luminous display set in lustrous gold surrounds. This dial features tritium lume, which has aged to an attractive manilla color in the indices. The Rolex Mercedes handset is the one area that reflects the age of this watch, with cracking lume and spotted hands that are visible under magnification. The watch is in excellent condition, with slight wear marks on the case and bezel that can be found if searched for under magnification. The Oyster case and dial are topped with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, complete with a Cyclops lens over the date window. This 18K gold Submariner comes complete with box and papers.
Pre-owned Rolex 40mm Explorer II Ivory Dial Oyster Bracelet, Ref. 16550
Rolex dedicated the Oyster Perpetual Explorer to polar explorers and all those pushing the boundaries of exploration. While the updated Explorer II was introduced in the mid 1980s, this reference 16550 was produced for only about four years, making it a less common model from this era. What’s more, Rolex offered this Explorer II with both a black and a white dial, with the black dial being the more popular. Because earlier batches of the white dial had a propensity to turn cream or ivory, this Rolex Explorer II with its ivory colored dial is quite uncommon. Besides being unique to each watch, this watch has an even, ivory color that is extremely attractive. The updated Explorer II includes a sapphire crystal and hour markers surrounded in white gold on its glossy dial. Note that on this watch, the Oyster bracelet appears to be a newer bracelet.

Pre-Owned Patek Philippe 37mm Calatrava Silver Dial Leather Strap, Ref. 5107J

Pre-owned (Unworn) Rolex GMT Master II, Black Dial, Jubilee Bracelet, Ref. 126710
This Rolex GMT Master II features a black dial and a two-color Cerachrom bezel insert in red and blue ceramic. In addition to conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand, which circles the dial once every 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel. The distinctively coloured 24-hour hand displays the “home” reference time in a first time zone which can be read on the graduations on the bezel. The traveller’s local time is easily set by “jumping” from hour to hour, thanks to an ingenious mechanism operated via the winding crown: the hour hand can be adjusted forwards or backwards independently of the minute and seconds hands. The new caliber 3285 features a guaranteed power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3285 is a certified Swiss chronometer. This GMT-Master II is fitted with a Jubilee bracelet, which is equipped with a Rolex-designed and -patented Oysterlock folding safety clasp that prevents accidental opening. It also features the Easylink comfort extension link, which allows the bracelet length to be increased by approximately 5 mm. A concealed attachment system ensures seamless visual continuity between the bracelet and case.
Pre-owned Rolex 40mm Hulk Submariner, Oyster Bracelet, Ref. 116610
Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first divers’ watch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters. This generation of Submariner is now water-resistant to 300 meters and maintains the historic links between Rolex and the world of diving in a redesigned luxurious case with a thicker profile, fatter lugs and stouter crown guard that is fitted on a remodeled bracelet. This Submariner in Oystersteel has a green dial and rotatable bezel with matching green Cerachrom insert. The anti-reflective coating applied to the back of the sapphire crystal on the new generation Submariner makes it highly legible. Powered by the in-house caliber 3135, the watch’s precision has been tested by COSC. This watch includes the original papers only.
This GMT Master reference 1675 has a serial number circa 1979, with a hacking caliber 1575 (engraved 1570) and the Rolex ‘twinlock’ crown with the Rolex coronet underlined, all as expected for this vintage. The crown shows two small divots under magnification. The stainless-steel case is in above average condition with chamfers evident and clean, legible serial and reference numbers. The bright sides show small marks commensurate with age, free of large nicks or scratches. The guards are later rounded crown guards and are also in very nice condition. The lugs show brushing with minimal scratches, primarily on the underside. The standard bezel has a bright, clean insert with slight scratches at 10 and 16, as well as the period correct oval upper 8. The bezel edges are sharp and clean. The caseback shows minimal wear.
With a crystal that shows no nicks or gouges and only slight swirls, the whole watch presents as above average condition and serves to nicely frame the beautiful matte black dial that is free of scratches or stains. The tritium lume is consistent across the indexes and hands, showing an attractive aged manila color. The dial lettering makes this a Mark5A dial and the regular MK2 handset is polished and clean, with slight pitting on magnification. The silver brushed Date wheel is also the correct vintage. Lastly, the wonderful condition riveted Oyster style bracelet has the correct vintage stamps of 78, Rolex USA and C&I. Consistent with a C&I bracelet, the end links are not marked.
Overall, this GMT Master 1675 is an attractive watch that appears newer than its age but still has a patina that only comes with time and nature. If like many others you have thought you would like to own a vintage GMT Master, this may be the perfect watch for you.
