Rolex. A very fine and exceptionally rare stainless steel automatic dual time calendar wristwatch with bakelite bezel GMT-Master in red textModel: GMT-Master 'Red Writing'Reference: 6542Date: Date stamped for the last quarter of 1955Movement: 25-jewel Cal.1030 automatic, adjusted to 5 positions & temperature, No.DN654166Dial: Black, luminous dot hour markers, baton quarters, gilt outer minute divisions and signature, magnified roulette date aperture at 3, polished Mercedes hands with luminous inserts, centre seconds, long small arrow tipped red dual time handCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back and crown, inside back date coded IV.55, blue and red Bakelite bezel insert, No.112954Strap/Bracelet: Brushed riveted Oyster linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding clasp, stamped 3 55Signed: Case, dial & movementSize: 38mmFootnotes:The present GMT is one of the rarest versions. The GMT-Master was made as a collaborative watch with Pan American World Airways. At the beginning of the jet set age for pilots giving a clear and quick dual time configuration ideal for intercontinental travel. This particular Ref 6542 was made in the last quarter of 1955 a year after the model's introduction in 1954 and has the GMT-Master printed in Red. This dial survival is exceptionally rare making a subtle echo of the red in the Bakelite bezel creating a harmony not present on other versions. The calendar ring is a roulette meaning that it alternates between black and red print, a particular feature of Rolex Date watches from this era. The survival of the Bakelite bezel is a testament to the watches low usage during its life as these bezels were particularly brittle and prone to damage. Also they were recalled by Rolex due to the Radium present in the numerals. This meant any time the watch was returned to Rolex they would change the bezel for a modern alternative aluminium insert.This watch case is in very good condition making this a prize for any connoisseur of the classic GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Registration No: B2 GAM Chassis No: WDB1290662F067513 MOT: September 2024Ordered new by Sir Stirling Moss OBE and first registered as '7 SM'Special order to Sir Stirling's requirements89,900 miles, 3 former keepers and current ownership since 2006Letter on file from Sir Stirling confirming it was in his ownership for 4 yearsOriginal owner’s wallet, handbook and service bookHand-signed index card autograph from Sir StirlingMercedes-Benz has a proud history of celebrating its superstar drivers. Witness the support it has given to the Museo Juan Manuel Fangio or the despatch of what many consider to be the world’s most valuable car – the 1955 Mille Miglia-winning 300SLR – to Westminster Abbey for Sir Stirling Moss’s recent Memorial Service. A rather more affordable ‘Silver Arrow’ but one with an equally strong link to the greatest driver never to win the F1 Championship, chassis 067573 was built to his special order during July 1992. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with Grey leather upholstery, the two-seater also boasted ADS (adaptive suspension), heated / memory seats and climate controlled air-conditioning.Collected by Sir Stirling from Bremen where its Pre-Delivery Inspection was carried out on 24th July 1992, the 500SL was UK road registered as ‘7 SM’ the following month. Purchased by its second keeper, George Murray, from Graypaul Ferrari of Loughborough for the princely sum of £54,000 in April 1996 at 25,602 miles, he changed the number plate to ‘B2 GAM’. Entering the current (fourth) ownership during February 2006, the Mercedes-Benz retains its original book pack showing twelve main dealer and three specialist service stamps. More recently fettled by Martin Hayes Vehicle Repairs: new distributor caps (2019), cylinder heads overhauled (2020), gearbox oil change (2022) etc, accompanying paperwork includes a letter from Sir Stirling and MOT certificate valid until September 2024.The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar, and front airbags. The SL 500 featured a 5.0 V8 producing 326bhp, with 0-62mph in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. The model featured many innovations, including electronically-controlled damping, an automatically expanding roll-over bar, and a multi-link rear axle. In addition, there was a fully electric package of an electric roof, windows, door mirrors, and seats, making the ownership experience luxurious, stress-free, comfortable, and with easy to operate equipment.

Registration No: LC51 ELX Chassis No: WDB1290682F204658 MOT: March 20251 of a limited production run of just 100 UK market carsWarranted 59,000 miles from new and just three former keepersVery nice example with the book pack in stamped service bookOffered from a private collection“One glance is enough to tell you just how special this glorious car is. So special, in fact, that only 100 models will be produced for the UK – with each one certified as authentic by Mercedes-Benz and Sir Stirling Moss” (Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, limited edition brochure)Unveiled at the March 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the fourth generation (R129-series) Mercedes-Benz SL was styled in-house by Bruno Sacco. Often cited as the highlight of his career, the sleek Roadster was beautifully engineered. Based around a two-door monocoque bodyshell, its sophisticated all-round independent suspension was augmented by a host of active and passive safety features including: electronic stability control, ventilated ABS disc brakes, adaptive-damping shock absorbers, front airbags and an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second (if the car ever sensed an impending flip). Suitably cosseting, the convertible's impeccably built cabin was protected by a fully automated power hood and featured such niceties as memory seats, electric windows and mirrors and an adjustable steering column. Yet, lurking beneath all the luxury and refinement was a performance orientated grand tourer. Launch flagship, the mighty 500 SL (known as the SL 500 from 1994 onwards) was powered by the first of Mercedes' four-valve per cylinder, dual-overhead camshaft V8 powerplants. Credited with 326bhp and 332lbft of torque, this fearsome 4973cc unit was allied to four-speed (later five-speed) automatic transmission as standard. Reputedly capable of over 150mph and 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds, the model was updated with a more emissions friendly but marginally less powerful 4966cc engine from June 1998 onwards.Intended to be a fitting send off for the R129-series, and to pay homage to one of the greatest Mercedes-Benz works drivers, Sir Stirling Moss, the special edition SL500 ‘Silver Arrow’ boasted a unique specification which included: Silver Arrow ‘777’ paintwork, Black / Silver Nappa leather upholstery, AMG body styling, bespoke 18-inch multi-piece alloy wheels, Silver brake calipers, chrome-sheen aluminium exterior trim, illuminated door sills, ‘engine-turned’ aluminium instrument and gearshift surrounds and Bird’s-Eye Maple Black wood trim. Mercedes-Benz only allocated 100 special edition SL500 ‘Silver Arrow’ cars to the UK market. Manufactured in 2001, ‘LC51 ELX’ was one of the 100 UK Silver Arrows, being registered new on the 20th of September that year. Having now covered a warranted modest 59,000 miles from new, the SL 500 has had just three former keepers and is offered from a private collection. Recently benefitting from a service by a specialist in March this year and was supplied with an MOT certificate in March too, with no advisories.A very nice example, the Silver Arrow is offered with a large history file that includes the original book pack in the Mercedes-Benz wallet that contains the owner’s manual, supplementary manuals, and stamped service book which displays ten entries, all completed by specialists, with an additional service invoice in the history file. The file further contains a large selection of MOT certificates, numerous previous invoices, a selection of former tax discs, sundry paperwork, copies of previous logbooks, ‘Own A Limited Edition Mercedes SL’ sales literature, and a current V5C document, as well as having two sets of keys. Silver Arrows are surely a must for the Mercedes-Benz collector and to honour the great Sir Stirling Moss is something all enthusiasts and petrolheads can resonate with.
