Featuring an impressive grouping from independent watchmakers, Sotheby’s will present the Fine Watches auction in early March. The sale starts with a Patek Philippe Reference 5650G-001 Advanced Research Aquanaut. The Ref. 5650G Aquanaut is a blue, sporty, and elegant limited-edition wristwatch, the first timepiece to be endowed with two avant-garde developments in the field of horology. The first innovation at the beating heart of this watch is an optimized Spiromax– a balance spring made with a patented terminal curve and inner boss that ensures greater precision. The second innovation is time zone correction with a flexible mechanism crafted from steel. The available watch is an 18-karat white gold, automatic dual-time wristwatch with date and day/night indication (circa 2017). The dial is blue semi-skeletonized with 29 jewels. The white-gold case measures 40.80mm in diameter. The case also has a sapphire-crystal glass case back, and screw-down crown. It is water resistant to 120 meters.
A pink gold automatic Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (Reference 15400OR.OO.1220OR.03) is a notable lot. The available watch has an 18-karat pink gold case, blue dial, and pink gold bracelet (circa 2015). The 36-jewel caliber is automatic with a self-winding mechanism, date display, and center seconds. The case also has a glare-proofed sapphire crystal display back secured by eight screws. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters. Sotheby’s will offer a vast selection of thoughtfully curated vintage and modern timepieces from major brands in this sale.
