Here are a few highlights of the upcoming auction held
by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo on 6-7 December in New York.
This 67-year-old Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 has never
been polished. Its case retains the original bevels and facets. The “four liner”
glossy dial makes it particularly desirable. Estimate: $160,000-320,000
This Omega Constellation Grand Luxe is one of only two
known examples in platinum. It is believed to have been specially commissioned
for a member of the Kuwaiti royal family in the late 1950s. Estimate: $100,000-200,000
Known as the “Padellone” (Italian for large frying
pan) by collectors, this triple date Ref. 8171 dates back to 1952. Hardly ever
worn and never polished, it features a dial with original grainé surface in
outstanding condition with minor signs of aging. Estimate: $250,000-500,000
Accompanied by its original Certificate of Origin,
purchase receipt, and presentation box, this Patek Philippe perpetual calendar
Ref. 3940J features a doré dial that was produced exclusively during the first
and early second series of the 1980s iconic model. Estimate:
$120,000-140,000.
This Omega Tourbillon 30 I houses one of only twelve
experimental movements created by Omega in 1947 for observatory chronometer
trials, and one of just three known to be cased in 18K yellow gold. Estimate: $60,000-120,000
Recently inherited by
the grandson of the original owner, this Rolex Ref. 6036 Dato-Compax features a
clean grené dial with strongly inked blue numerals, a crisp Oyster case, and a stretch
riveted bracelet with matching engravings. Estimate: 120,000-240,000
