Bible, Greek: Vetus Testamentum Graecum ex Versione Septuaginta Interpretum, juxta Exemplar Vaticanum Romae editum, London: Roger Daniel, for John Martin and Jacob Allestrye, 1653, 8vo, later polished blue calf, gilt stamped spine with title and date, aeg, title in red and black with engraved printer's device, text in Greek, double column. final page 1056 with manuscript lettering to end; lacking later sections to 1279 and second section of ScholiaOmbersley Court, WorcestershireThe rare first printing in England of the Septuagint, the earliest translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into Greek, made in the third century BC. The text was edited by the Unitarian controversialist John Biddle (1615-1662), who was imprisoned by the Parliamentary Commissioners for his religious opinions. "Roger Daniel's version of the text of the Sixtine edition [was] prepared for the use of the scholars at Westminster School. This appeared in 1653 and was edited by the Socinian John Biddle. Its publication may have owed something to the interest in the Septuagint generated by Codex Alexandrinus and the frustration produced by the failure of Young's attempts to edit it" (S. Mandelbrote, "English Scholarship and the Greek Text of the Old Testament", p. 87). [Darlow & Moule 4692; Wing B-2178; S.

A LIMITED EDITION MEN'S PATEK PHILIPPE PLATINUM AND 18K ROSE GOLD AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH. GRAND COMPLICATION CELESTIAL.Brand: Patek Philippe Model: Grand Complication Celestial Case reference: 5102PR Year: Circa 2011 Movement: Complication, automatic, Cal. 240/165, No. 550XXXX Dial: Blue with a constellation representation, moon-phase, white leaf hands, silvered Roman numerals Material: Platinum and 18k rose gold Bracelet/Strap: Black leather, 18k rose gold buckle Signed: Dial, movement, case, strap, buckle Dimension: 43mm A Masterpiece of Horological Innovation: Patek Philippe Celestial Ref. 5102Launched in 2002, the Patek Philippe Celestial Ref. 5102 stands as one of the most significant horological innovations in modern watchmaking. For the first time, a breathtaking rendition of the Northern Hemisphere’s celestial chart was dynamically brought to the wrist. This astronomical complication captures the beauty and movement of the stars with unprecedented precision.The celestial chart on the dial rotates counterclockwise, displaying the progression of stars relative to the meridian passage of Sirius, one of the brightest stars in the night sky. At the same time, the watch showcases both the meridian passage and the phases of the moon, all working in perfect harmony. Patek Philippe undertook immense research, calculating over 25 trillion ratio combinations to ensure the utmost accuracy for all the astronomical displays of the Ref. 5102. This remarkable achievement reflects the extraordinary challenges faced by Patek Philippe’s master watchmakers in producing such a complex and precise timepiece.At the heart of the Ref. 5102 lies the sophisticated automatic Calibre 240 LU CL movement, composed of 301 individual parts, each meticulously hand-finished by Patek Philippe’s expert craftsmen. This highly complicated movement powers the various celestial displays, with three corundum sapphire crystal discs simulating the orbits of the moon and the passage of the stars. The use of these sapphire discs creates a stunning sense of depth on the dial, enhancing the overall visual impact of the watch.For this groundbreaking invention, Patek Philippe was awarded a Swiss Patent (CH 688 171 B5) for the base calibre, underscoring the technical prowess and ingenuity behind the Ref. 5102.The final and most striking iteration of the Celestial, the Ref. 5102PR, was introduced at Baselworld 2009 in a combination of platinum and 18k rose gold, following earlier versions in white and yellow gold. This final configuration presented a perfect balance of color and texture, enhancing the watch’s luxurious appeal. The Ref. 5102PR was discontinued in 2012, succeeded by the Ref. 6102, which introduced a redesigned case and an additional date complication integrated into the celestial chapter ring.As one of the last models of its kind, the Ref. 5102PR is celebrated not only for its technical brilliance but also for its aesthetic sophistication. Collectors and enthusiasts alike consider this timepiece a rare and important part of Patek Philippe’s storied legacy of innovation. 43mm.

1997 Mazda MX-5 Monza, 1598cc, manual, 2 door convertible, reg. no. R322 BTU, finished in British Racing Green with a black cloth interior. This limited edition Monza model, named after the famous Italian race track is one of only 800 units made between May and September 1997. All examples were finished in British Racing Green and sported 14" alloy wheels. Unique Monza decals were also fitted to the rear quarter panels and the bonnet. Originally supplied by Ryders Mazda of Bootle, the car has had just two former keepers, the first until 1999, with the second owner keeping the car until 2006, when the current keeper acquired it. The car has covered a very modest mileage of approximately 50,000 in its 27 year life. This mileage is backed up by MOT history and a well stamped service book which concludes with a final recorded service at Underwoods Mazda, Colchester on 3rd June 2012 at 48,906 miles. In later years the car has seen very little use, with the car remaining off the road in dry storage between 2020 and 2024. The car is offered for sale by direction of the late owner's executors. At their instruction, we have taken the car for MOT (31st October 2024), where it failed only on a non-functioning horn. Supplied with V5, handbook and service book pack and some old MOTs. The car is a remarkably well-preserved example of the ever popular MX-5 that needs an enthusiastic new owner to recommission it for the road. (Subject to 12% buyers' premium inclusive of VAT).
