Objects of Time. Curated Boldly
A special Cartier Santos Dumont ref. 1575-1 from the 1990s, crafted in platinum. Housed in an ultra-thin case and powered by the Cal. 21, this example is presented in stellar condition. While the Santos Dumont is one of the Maison's most historically significant wristwatches, platinum examples are exceptionally rare, making this a particularly desirable reference for collectors.
Condition & Specifications:
The 27 × 36mm platinum case is in excellent condition, showing light signs of previous polishing while retaining deep, well-defined hallmarks throughout. The movement was serviced by Cartier in 2025. As part of the restoration, Cartier fitted a new dial and handset, as the original dial was peeling and the hands show rust. The watch is further accompanied by a new 18K white gold deployant clasp and a black crocodile leather strap supplied during the service. The caseback displays two small dents near the center, visible upon close inspection. The original Cartier service invoice and accompanying service papers documenting the work performed are included.
Editor’s Selection:
A special Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Dual Time, sold in Milan in 1990 and preserved in outstanding condition. This reference displays two time zones alongside a power reserve indicator and date, all arranged on a beautifully balanced asymmetric matte white dial. Despite its complexity, the design remains remarkably elegant, with Roman numerals, blued steel hands, and subtle gold accents on the sub-dials and hour markers.
Measuring just 8.5mm thick, it reflects a period when Audemars Piguet was pushing the boundaries of complications. Powered by the Cal. 2129, based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 889, it was notably the first dual-time wristwatch to adjust both time zones through a single crown.
Carefully preserved over the years, this example is accompanied by its original box, travel pouch, instruction manual, and guarantee.
Condition & Specifications
The 36mm yellow gold case remains in exceptional, unpolished condition, retaining deep hallmarks and crisp original finishing throughout. The movement has been recently serviced and is fitted with its original strap, while an additional strap with its factory yellow gold pin buckle is also included. A 48-hour inspection period is provided, with returns accepted during that time.
A stunning vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre — complete and untouched. Crafted entirely in solid 18K yellow gold, it beautifully blends the worlds of fine watchmaking and high jewelry. On the wrist, it’s instant magic. The integrated woven bracelet contrasts perfectly with the black onyx dial, while the craftsmanship throughout is exceptional. The diamond-set corners add just the right amount of flash. This example comes complete with its original box, guarantee, and hangtag.
Specifications & Condition:
The solid 18K yellow gold case and integrated woven bracelet remain untouched and unpolished. The glossy black onyx dial is perfect, showing no cracks or damage. Service history is unknown, but the watch is running accurately. A 48-hour inspection period is provided.
Notes:
A time capsule like this is most likely unique. The combination of a stone dial and an integrated gold bracelet makes for an exceptionally attractive and distinctive timepiece.
