Among the most extraordinary pieces is Lot 180, a Cartier Crash Paris in 18k yellow gold, limited edition of 400 examples, dated 1991. Featuring an Argenté dial with exploded Roman numerals, an asymmetrical case, and original deployant clasp, this model represents one of the most daring and iconic creations of the Maison. Born in 1967 at the London boutique during “Swinging London,” the Crash stood out as a countertrend to the regular and symmetrical forms of the era, becoming a true radical design icon. The lot offered in this auction belongs to the 1990s reissue and, thanks to its excellent condition and historical value, represents a rare opportunity for collectors to add one of Cartier’s most recognizable and sought-after timepieces to their collection (estimate: €150,000 – 200,000).

Among other exceptional timepieces is Lot 176, a 1978 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Small Red” ref. 6263, featuring a black dial with white counters, manual-wind movement, and accompanied by box and papers. Known among collectors as the “Reverse Panda,” this reference is one of the most coveted Cosmograph Daytonas, with distinctive features that enhance its rarity and timeless elegance (estimate: €30,000 – 40,000).

Also noteworthy is Lot 111, a Vacheron & Constantin Jumbo 222 ref. 44018, produced around 1980 in steel with integrated bracelet and rare Argenté dial with Roman numerals and date at three. Introduced in 1977 to celebrate the 222nd anniversary of the Geneva Maison, the 222 was produced in extremely limited numbers and today stands as a symbol of the new generation of luxury sports watches with integrated bracelets. The lot offered in this auction, preserved in excellent condition, provides a unique opportunity for collectors to own a historic and rare piece from Vacheron Constantin (estimate: €20,000 – 30,000).

Also in the auction is Lot 179, a Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2431 “Flame Lugs,” signed Gobbi Milano, c. 1950. Produced between 1948 and 1955, the ref. 2431 is one of the most fascinating interpretations of the Calatrava. The case, made by the renowned case maker Vichet, is unpolished and features the iconic “Flame Lugs,” with an elegant and bold profile, making it one of the most sought-after Calatravas. The dial, in excellent condition, bears the rare double signature “Gobbi Milano” above the seconds at six, adding exceptional historical and collectible value. This lot represents a masterpiece of design and refinement, symbolizing the elegance and craftsmanship of Patek Philippe of the period (estimate: €10,000 – 20,000).
