1) Lot 78: Rolex ref. 5513 Military Submariner
Rolex Submariners are widely appreciated as tool watches, and this “MilSub” is one in the truest sense of the word. It was produced in 1974/75 as a direct order for the British Royal Navy and has functionality written all over it. Special enhancements were made on these MilSubs that made them different from regular Submariners. The watch comes on a NATO-strap and is in my opinion a great example that embodies the essence of the Submariner and maybe the tool watch in general.
2) Lot 100: Patek Philippe 5951P Perpetual Calendar
This Patek 5951P Perpetual Calendar is nothing short of a mechanical marvel, being the thinnest column-wheel split-second chronograph on the market when it was launched in 2010. As the split-second chronograph is my favorite complication, coming from the ultimate of brands it’s real magic and has to be on my list. Imagine 400 individual watch parts working together in this slim 37 mm case. The cushion-shape of the platinum case is unusual, and in this dial configuration as few as 10 were approximately made. Stylish, ultra-rare and highly complicated: the 5951P ticks all the boxes for the most serious of Patek collectors and the ukp 220,000-280,000 estimate is a reflection of that.
3) Lot 73: Richard Mille RM 005 “Monsoon Cup”
