Rolex. A fine and rare stainless steel automatic wristwatch with gilt 4 line dial and big crownModel: Submariner '4 Line'Reference: 6538Date: Circa 1956Movement: 25-jewel Cal.1030 automatic, adjusted to 5 positions and temperatures, No.N69****Dial: Black gilt, 4 line, luminous dot hour markers, baton quarters, gilt outer minute divisions, gilt Mercedes hands with luminous inserts, centre secondsCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back, inside back date coded III.56, screw down big crown, No.158***Strap/Bracelet: Brown crocodile Buckle/Clasp: Associated steel buckleSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 37mmFootnotes:The Rolex Submariner 6538 was supplied for just four years but it has become one of the best known and sought after of the Submariner models. Its general defining features are the over size (8mm) crown, lack of protective crown guards and gilt dial. The gilt dial comes with gilt hands which are unusual for a stainless steel case but typical for this date. These features mean that it is instantly recognisable and since it became the adopted watch of the James Bond film character played by Sean Connery, rather famous too.One defining feature of this particular watch is that is has a chronometer rating, indicated by the four line description above 6. Printed are meters first depth indication, Submariner in a different tone to the other writing and Official Certified Chronometer split over two lines. The calibre 1030 movement was available in both normal and Chronometer versions for this reference and this is the rarer of the two. The watch therefore would have had extra scrutiny and adjustment to get it through the rigorous test to gain a chronometer certificate. It is a rare sub-category of the reference 6538. The present owners father bought this watch second hand in 1970 for £20 as he could not afford a new watch for diving. Little did he realise he was buying into the Submariner legacy and has become one of the touch points for collectors the world over.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 platinum manual wind split second chronograph perpetual calendar wristwatch with moon phase and leap year indicationReference: 5204P-011Date: Purchased 12th August 2016 Movement: 34-jewel Cal.CHR 29-535 PS Q manual wind, Gyromax balance, No.5252727Dial: Black, white gold baton hour markers, white outer minute divisions, subsidiary dials at 3, 6 and 9 for seconds, 30 minute and date combined with moon phase, day and month apertures below 12, day/night indication at 7, leap year indication at 4, polished pointed baton hands with luminous inserts, split second chronograph handsCase: Brushed and polished round, screw down exhibition back, crown flanked by twin pushers, quick set buttons at 6, 10, 11 and 1, No.6110808Strap/Bracelet: Black Patek Philippe alligator leather Buckle/Clasp: Signed platinum folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 40mm Accompaniments: Patek Philippe box, outer card, spare platinum solid case back, setting tool, swing tag, Patek Philippe pouch, Certificate of OriginFootnotes:Bringing Patek Philippe's line up of perpetual calendars to a new level is the Ref:5204. Unveiled in 2012 to huge acclaim, the 5204P-001 was the first split-second chronograph with perpetual calendar offered by the celebrated manufacture. Originally available only in platinum, the 5204 is a real show stopper and presents a fresher, pared down look from its predecessor the 5004. Housed in a bigger 40mm case, the 5204 sees a shift in the formatting of the dial by moving the Day/Night and leap year indications from the subsidiary dials to small apertures at 4 and 7. This readdressing of the dial provides a much more legible and simpler dial visually while still communicating a lot of information. The exterior was not the only change Patek made but also what forms the beating heart of any the watch - the movement. Fitted inside the 5204 features a new and entirely in-house manually wound caliber CHR 29-535 PS. This development of a purely Patek Philippe split second perpetual calendar chronograph makes the 5204 an incredibly exciting model to have in any collection. The 5204 represents Pateks' continuing drive to seek perfection and innovation.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

Limited to 100 pieces, this magnificent enamelled and engraved watch honours the second oldest watch in the manufacturer's collection. When the Ellipse was first launched in 1968, its design was hailed as a striking combination of audacity and harmony. The balanced proportions were inspired by the 'Golden Section,' the divine proportions discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians. This tribute watch's dial has a spectacular volute pattern that has been painstakingly engraved by hand on the 18K white gold plate and subsequently enamelled to produce a striking design.Having only been launched less than 2 years ago and with such a limited production run, the Golden Ellipse 50th Anniversary is something that is usually unattainable and the current lot offers an opportunity to obtain a truly beautiful watch that rarely comes to auction.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
