This was not always the case, as when it was initially released in 1963, sales were disappointing. This was to change however with the release of the reference 16520. Originally the Daytona was powered by a manual wind chronograph movement, but this new model came with an automatic chronograph. The reference 16520 was equipped with the calibre 4030, the first Rolex automatic chronograph movement. This is based on the Zenith El Primero movement, which Rolex replaced 60% of the parts. The 16520 was in production from 1988 until 2000, when Rolex introduced its own in house movement, the calibre 4130. This has made the 16520 sought after among collectors.Condition Report: Movement is currently functioning. The chronograph counts one minute, but the hour counter has not been tested due to time constraints. Movement has scratches, marks and tarnishing commensurate with general wear visible when viewed under a 4x loupe.

Y IWC, PORTUGIESER PERPETUAL CALENDAR, REF. IW5022A LIMITED EDITION 18 CARAT GOLD CALENDAR WRIST WATCH WITH MOONPHASE AND POWER RESERVE, NO. 3661779, CIRCA 2010Movement: Cal. 51614, automatic, 62 jewels, adjusted to 5 positionsCase: 18 carat gold case, screw down display case back, stamped with 18 carat gold common control markDial: BlackStrap: IWC black alligator strap with 18 carat gold deployant claspSize: 42mmSigned: Case, dial, movement, crown, strap, claspAccessories: IWC box, guarantee card and booklet, instruction book, service explanation invoices dated 18th October 2019 and 6th July 2020 The Portugieser is one of the oldest models produced by IWC. In 1939 two Portuguese merchants made the request for a large time only wristwatch with the precision of a pocket watch. The reference 325 was born and housed the pocket watch calibres 75 and 98. Available with a variety of dials, the classic dial was very simple and features Arabic numerals, feuille hands and a 'railroad track' chapter ring. These features can be found on this example being offered. Fast-forward to 2003 and IWC released the ref. IW5021, which was the first Portugieser to feature a perpetual calendar. In 2006 the IW5022 was introduced to the range and featured a subsidiary moonphase dial, adding another complication to an already cutting edge movement. The 42mm case is certainly a presence on the wrist. Condition Report: Movement is currently functioning. Movement appears to be in a generally good condition with little sign of previous intervention when viewed under a 4x loupe. Dial appears to be in a generally good condition with no marks visible when viewed under a 4x loupe. There is a slight mark to the edge of the 2 in the year indicator visible under a loupe.

The world leading art dealer and gallery owner Alexander Iolas noticed her work, and allowed Sotilis to exhibit her work at international galleries alongside many of the 20th century greats such as René Magritte, Andy Warhol, and her great mentor Giorgio de Chirico. Her pieces have been collected by many in the contemporary artworld including Salvador Dali. In 1970 she entered an exclusive contract with Cartier to design watch dials and bezels.

She has said of her artistry: 'I sleep three hours a day because my creativity never ends. When I get tired of making jewellery, which I call micro-sculptures, I paint, I design furniture. I don't make traditional jewels; they are different, my way, because I have to recreate what I see in my dreams'. Condition Report: The ear clips have some light wear, commensurate with occasional use, they will need new replacement rubber ear cushions as the original ones have perished. There are some patches to the panels from construction, thick solder to the reverse as typical of her pieces.One of the beads has large worn chip, but as the beads are quite possibly ancient it has been worn down and smoothed out, as part of the beads history. There are some further smaller chips as typical with ancient beads. The beads are not completely matching in side profile, one has more banding than the other. Condition Report Disclaimer

Her first solo exhibition was at the age of 16 in Milan, and her first international exhibition was held in Berlin two years later. The world leading art dealer and gallery owner Alexander Iolas noticed her work, and allowed Sotilis to exhibit her work at international galleries alongside many of the 20th century greats such as René Magritte, Andy Warhol, and her great mentor Giorgio de Chirico. Her pieces have been collected by many in the contemporary artworld including Salvador Dali. In 1970 she entered an exclusive contract with Cartier to design watch dials and bezels. Her home Via Dante in Milan was known as a cultural space where Andy Warhol and Rudolph Nureyev were frequent guests.She has exhibited in many of the best international galleries, and examples of her work can be found in some of the finest museums and private collections in the world. She has said of her artistry: 'I sleep three hours a day because my creativity never ends. When I get tired of making jewellery, which I call micro-sculptures, I paint, I design furniture. I don't make traditional jewels; they are different, my way, because I have to recreate what I see in my dreams'.
