thu 15 June 2023
On Thursday, June 15, at its Milan headquarters on Via San Marco, the maison will present in a live auction a very select collection of unique pieces made by the most authoritative international brands - Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and many others - along with a series of increasingly sought-after independent brands of extreme quality that are gaining important new market shares.

Notable among the top lots is the refined and elegant neovintage single-pusher chronograph made in platinum circa 1991 by Daniel Roth in a limited edition of only 16 pieces. Of exceptional refinement is the dial with satin-brushed and guilloché work, Roman numeral numbering, and an open back (Estimate: 25.000 - 50.000 euros).

Another extraordinary piece, a very rare Rolex sports model Submariner, ref. 5510, circa 1957, in steel with leather strap, with gilt polished black dial, radium pallets, brevet oversized crown, steel case never polished, a rotating bezel with red triangle to signal 12 o'clock. (Estimate: 50.000 - 80.000 euros).

And again the exclusive Royal Oak Jumbo "D Series," ref. 14790ST, circa 1979 produced by Audemars Piguet in stainless steel, which belonged to former Austrian Formula One driver Gerard Bergher, winner of 10 Grand Prix. The watch features octagonal case, blue Petit Tapisserie dial and is accompanied by original box and warranty (Estimate: 35.000 - 50.000 euros).

Also among the stars of the auction is an extremely rare two-counter chronograph with pump buttons signed Omega, model Chrono 33.3, ref. CK 2077, which is distinguished by its three-tone gray Lemrich dial, Roman numeral hour numerals, caliber 33.3 manual winding, and steel case with screw-down water-resistant case back. (Estimate: 12.000 to 18.000 euros).

Finally, another Rolex, the highly coveted Cosmograph Daytona, ref. 6240, made in steel circa 1965 with an extraordinary bakelite bezel and screw-down "Millerighe" keys, silver Grené dial and contrasting black counters. (Estimate: 55.000 to 80.000 euros).  

The public can visit the display of lots from Friday, June 9, through Tuesday, June 13, excluding Sunday, June 11, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
