Girard-Perregaux. A fine and unusual 18K rose gold Limited Edition automatic skeletonised rectangular tourbillon wristwatch with three gold bridgesModel: Vintage 1945 Tourbillon BridgesReference: 9987, Limited Edition No.95Date: Circa 2015Movement: 30-jewel Cal.GP9600C automatic, one minute tourbillon, No.95Dial: Silvered guilloché engraved barrel and fine tourbillon carriage all mounted under distinctive three bridges, polished dagger handsCase: Brushed and polished rectangular, back secured by 4 screwsStrap/Bracelet: Black alligator leatherBuckle/Clasp: Signed 18K rose gold folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 32mm Accompaniments: Girard-Perregaux box, outer card, Certificate of Authenticity, instruction bookletFootnotes:Constant Girard (1825-1903) designed a Tourbillon with three gold bridges in the mid 1860's for which he won a medal at the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition. Only about twenty examples of this proprietary design were ever manufactured with the last first generation triple-bridge tourbillon made in 1911.Fast forward over half a century and in 1981 Girard-Perregaux re-introduced the movement for a Limited Edition of twenty pocket watches. Ten years later, to celebrate their 200th anniversary, the manufacture again launched the movement but this time housed in a wristwatch. In order to fit, Girard Perregaux miniaturized the movement and re-positioned the triple bridge tourbillon from the back of the watch to the front.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Patek Philippe. A very fine 18K gold manual wind chronograph wristwatchReference: 130Date: Manufactured 1939, Purchased 6th April 1940Movement: 23-jewel Cal.13-130 manual wind, adjusted to 8 positions, No.862327Dial: Silvered, applied gilt dot hour markers, Roman numeral 6 and 12, black outer 1/5th second and base scales, Case: Polished round, snap on back, crown flanked by twin rectangular buttons, No.620413Strap/Bracelet: Black Patek Philippe alligator leather Buckle/Clasp: Signed 18K gold buckleSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 33mm Accompaniments: Extract from the ArchivesFootnotes:In 1934 Patek Philippe launched their first serially produced chronograph wristwatch – the reference 130. This is one of those pinnacle moments in Pateks history whereby the demand from their clients was of such a sophisticated level that they could warrant creating a chronograph wristwatch in a more regular output. The design of the watch can be seen to have been influenced by that of the Calatrava, in particular the ref.96, with its stylish lugs and refined round case. It was predominantly available in yellow gold, rose gold and stainless steel with some special two-tone cases also being produced on special request. The popularity of this model continued for a significant amount of time and the watch was in production for near on 30 years. As with all of Pateks early chronographs the movement was based on a heavily modified ebauche, in this instance the Valjoux 23. The 13 130, as it became known, is exclusive to Patek Philippe and had been resigned to a golden age of chronograph watchmaking until 2011 when Patek cased 16 unused calibre 13-130s into the ref. 3670A that had been rediscovered in the mid-1990s. The appreciation for the 13 130 and what it stands for in Pateks heritage ensured that the demand for this later iteration was phenomenal. At 33mm, the 130 is an incredibly wearable watch and exudes refinement and elegance. For any collector looking to expand into vintage chronographs, the 130 is a must. Further examples of early reference 130 chronographs are illustrated in Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, second edition, p.263 and in Ore d'Oro 2 by Jader Barracca, Negretti, Franco Nencini, pl.C9.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Patek Philippe. A very fine and rare factory sealed Limited Edition Anniversary 18K white gold automatic calendar flyback chronograph bracelet watch with diamond set dialModel: 40th Anniversary NautilusReference: 5976/1G-001Date: Purchased 12th June 2017Movement: 35-jewel Cal.CH 28-520 C automatic, 21K gold rotor, Gyromax balance, No.7043087Dial: Ridged blue, engraved 1976-40-2016, baguette diamond set hour markers, white outer 1/5th second divisions, date aperture at 3, subsidiary dial at 6 for seconds, 30 minute and 12 hour recording, polished baton hands with luminous inserts, centre chronograph handCase: Brushed and polished 3-part case, exhibition back, crown flanked by twin buttons, No.6147455Strap/Bracelet: Brushed and polished linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 44mm Accompaniments: Patek Philippe Nautilus Anniversary cork box, Certificate of Origin, Attestation, Calibre CH 28-520 C brochure, Patek Philippe pouch, setting tool, swing tagFootnotes:In 2016 the legendary Nautilus celebrated its 40th Anniversary. To observe this significant date within the models history, Patek Philippe launched two new references - the 5711/1P and the 5976/1G. The current lot represents the latter reference and is offered fresh to market, in factory sealed and unworn condition.The most distinctive characteristic of the 5976 is the embossed 1976-40-2016 that spans the upon half of the iconic ridged blue dial. There is no doubt that this reference plays a special part in the Nautilus history and Patek Philippes commitment to celebrating this is commendable. The dial also features ten baguette and three princess cut diamonds for the hour markers which add to the distinction and luxury of this reference.Taking the commemorative additions to one side, the overriding design is reflective of the famed 5980 and this extends to the use of the same celebrated CH 28-520 C calibre inside. The calibre CH 28-520 was the first Patek Philippe self-winding chronograph wristwatch to be combined with an annual calendar complication. This milestone within the evolution of the manufactures movements make it highly desirable amongst collectors. Back to the exterior of the watch and coming in at 44mm, the 5976 again shines out as being the largest in the Nautilus family. With an all white gold bracelet the reference certainly has substance and its' presence is unmissable.Patek Philippe limited the release of the 5976 to just 1,300 examples. These were available only to their most loyal and steadfast clients and as such this reference rarely appears at auction.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Patek Philippe. A fine and rare factory sealed 18K white gold automatic wristwatch with cloisonne enamel Transatlantic Ocean Liner dialModel: Calatrava 'Ocean Liner'Reference: 5089G-026Date: Purchased 24th August 2016Movement: 27-jewel Cal.240 automatic, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism & 5 positions, 22K gold micro-rotor, Gyromax balance, No.5874852Dial: Fine cloisonné enamel and guilloché engraved depicting a transatlantic liner with 3 funnels, polished lance handsCase: Brushed and polished round, snap on back, No.6060691Strap/Bracelet: Black Patek Philippe alligator leather Buckle/Clasp: Signed 18K white gold buckleSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 38mm Accompaniments: Patek Philippe box, outer card, Certificate of Origin, Self Winding Movements brochure, swing tag, Patek Philippe pouchFootnotes:Exemplary of Patek Philippe's rare handcrafted series, the present lot Reference 5088G-026 depicts the iconic funnels of a Transatlantic Ocean Liner set against a guilloche engraved silvered and mother-of-pearl cloudy sky. The Ocean Liner series comprised of three limited edition timepieces paying homage to the days of transatlantic travel before the rise of air travel. The accompanying Certificate of Origin implies that this is the second dial option for this series and our research suggests this is the first time this variation has been offered at auction.Cloisonné enamelling is an ancient decorative technique that involves the laying of gold wires in intricate designs with the negative spaces filled with enamel. Enamel is a vitreous substance coloured by adding metal oxides. The enamel is crushed to a fine powder and mixed with water to make a paste. According to Patek Philippe, after application and once dry, this paste is fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 800°C, fusing to the metal base of the dial and becoming extremely hard and stable. Depending on the intricacy of the design, a model can return to the kiln up to 12 times.Due to the complexity of the process and the skills required to craft such a dial, this timepiece is very limited and unique. In original factory condition, this watch is absolutely untouched and presents a rare opportunity to obtain a true piece of horological art.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Various astronauts and NASA-affiliated persons received limited edition numbers 3 to 32 (and 1001 to 1014 at a subsequent date) engraved with their respective names. Numbers 33 to 1000 were offered for sale to the public and were inscribed 'The First Watch Worn on the Moon.'
