Objects of Time. Curated Boldly
What an interesting little watch. As said, i have always appreciated ladies timepieces, the thought of the small movements fitted into hand made precious metal cases is fascninating. This example was made for Gübelin and features an spectacular case shape, almost like a horse shoe. If you get deeper into the case, it has subtle texture in between the top case or the hood. It is powered by a manual winding movemenent.
Condition & Specifications:
The 18K 22mm case is in great condition, unpolished. The hallmarks are present and deep. It is running well but the previous service history is unkown. A 48 hour inspection period is provided.
Editor’s Selection:
A gorgeous Ulysse Nardin from the 1980s with a classic and understated design. The modest 30mm case is complemented by a beautifully executed guilloché dial, adding plenty of texture and depth while keeping the design simple. A beautifully proportioned dress watch with plenty of character despite its compact size. Now available!
Condition & Specifications:
The silver guilloché dial is in perfect condition, showing no damage or wear. The Breguet hands are also in perfect condition. The 30mm 18K yellow gold case is unpolished, with two deep and well-defined hallmarks between the lugs at 6 o’clock. This watch has been serviced and comes with a 1 year mechanical guarantee. It comes on a generic black leather strap with its factory gold-plated buckle.
An amazing Rolex Datejust Thunderbird in solid 18K gold, dating back to 1968. This example is fitted with a South American bracelet, a combination you simply don’t come across often. It makes you wonder about its history—who owned it, and what was his story? It’s a watch with serious presence, but with a completely different personality from the classic all-gold Day-Date.
Condition & Specifications:
The 36mm 18K yellow gold case is in amazing condition—unpolished and extremely sharp. The bezel remains crisp, with thick, tall numerals and well-defined lines. The South American bracelet shows some stretch but also remains unpolished. The caseback has an engraving, and the bracelet fits up to approximately a 7.25-inch wrist. The watch has been serviced and is running perfectly. A 48-hour inspection period is provided upon receipt.
Notes:
If you’re going for a solid gold Datejust, why not go for something like this? An insane combination of coolness, weight, a special bracelet, and amazing original condition.
