Rolex, the well-known Swiss watch maker based in Geneva, patented a Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism in 1931. It’s a semi-circular plate that moves freely by virtue of gravity. The watch came to be known as the Oyster Perpetual. The upcoming Freeman’s auction will feature one such 18-karat yellow gold Rolex Oyster President Perpetual Day-Date piece. The bezel comes with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The men’s watch has 3155 automatic movement and a President bracelet with a deployant clasp. Akin to all other Perpetual movements, the 3155 is a certified chronometer, which has effectively passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute tests.
An unheated Ceylon sapphire and diamond ring also leads the catalog. Set in platinum, it is fashioned with a cushion mixed-cut natural corundum blue Ceylon sapphire centerpiece. The sapphire weighs almost 5.25 carats. Regarded as the national gemstone of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), the blue sapphire is valued for its brilliant hues and rarity. A 14-karat white gold, platinum, diamond, and onyx necklace is equally noteworthy. The striking pendant also functions as a brooch. Visit Freeman’s to view the complete catalog and register to bid in the upcoming Boutique Jewels and Luxury Accessories sale.
