Hello World

Audemars Piguet ROYAL OAK 25800ST

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quantième Perpétuel has been one of the brand’s most admired and sought-after models since the mid-1980s. While most examples were produced with either a 36 mm or 39 mm case, the present example, reference 25800ST, was designed with a refined 33 mm stainless steel case, offering a perfect blend of elegance and wearability.

First introduced in 1996, this reference is among the smallest perpetual calendar wristwatches ever produced, striking a harmonious balance between sophisticated design and excellent legibility.

At its heart is the ultra-thin caliber 2141/2806, specifically developed to accommodate the watch’s smaller dimensions. This particular example remains in excellent overall condition.

Additionally, it is accompanied by an extract from the Audemars Piguet archives, certifying its original sale in the year 2000.

BULGARI GERALD GENTA WRISTWATCH

Gerald Genta, a visionary watch designer, left an indelible mark on the industry with his innovative creations. Renowned for his revolutionary design of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, he redefined luxury sports watches. Genta’s genius extended beyond horology, encompassing iconic timepieces like the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the IWC Ingenieur SL. His ability to blend functionality with aesthetic brilliance earned him a lasting legacy in the world of haute horlogerie. At some point he also designed his own watches by starting his own watch firm with his own name “Gerald Genta”. He also kept designing watches collaborating with the highest name in the industry like in this case of this double signed Bulgari, Geraldgenta wristwatch. At a certain juncture, he ventured into creating timepieces under his eponymous brand, “Gerald Genta.” Concurrently, he continued to design watches, collaborating with the most esteemed names in the industry. An exemplary instance is this double-signed Bulgari, Gerald Genta wristwatch.

This watch is a remarkably stylish and tasteful timepiece, the result of a collaboration between Gerald Genta and Bulgari. While it was likely marketed by Bulgari, as indicated by the name on the dial, it was probably conceived and crafted by Gerald Genta, evident from the caseback inscription featuring its name and the Ebel caliber signed by Gerald Genta. This is not just a simple watch; it stands as a highly exclusive, rare, and beautiful creation born from the partnership of these two prestigious names. An elegant timepiece suitable for various occasions, it boasts excellent overall condition with a mint dial, likely untouched case, flawless caliber, and a Bulgari-signed buckle original to the watch.

PATEK PHILIPPE GOLDEN ELLIPSE 3619 WHITE GOLD WITH BRACELET

The Patek Philippe Reference 3619, introduced circa 1977, is a rare and unconventional dual-time wristwatch that reflects the daring spirit of the 1970s. Its generously sized 38 mm horizontal cushion-shaped case, reminiscent of the Beta 21, makes it stand out among traditional designs. The manually wound Caliber 27-HS400 powers the watch, allowing the simultaneous display of two time zones. Some collectors speculate that the legendary Louis Cottier may have been involved in its creation for Patek, though no definitive proof exists. With only around 32 pieces produced in a handful of variations, this model remains an exclusive and sophisticated collector’s item.

The present watch is a perfect example of the Patek Philippe Reference 3619. Produced in only a few dozen units, finding one so well-preserved is truly remarkable. This 3619 features a black oxidized dial with three diamond indexes, as confirmed by the Extract. A distinctive detail is the additional hour hand with luminous material, allowing for easy differentiation between time zones. The most striking and rare aspect of this 3619 is its matching integrated white gold bracelet—an extremely scarce feature that greatly enhances its exclusivity and collectability. Powered by the Caliber 27-HS400, the watch seamlessly displays two time zones. Its overall condition is exceptional: the case is untouched, the dial is mint, the movement functions perfectly, and the bracelet remains in like-new condition.

The watch is accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives.

BULOVA JEWEL WATCH TIGER EYE DIAL

Tiger’s eye is a quartz gemstone known for its golden-brown color and chatoyancy, a shimmering effect resembling a cat’s eye. It forms through the replacement of fibrous crocidolite with silica, retaining a silky, reflective appearance. Primarily sourced from South Africa, it is also found in Australia, Brazil, and India. Historically valued for protection and strength, tiger’s eye is used in jewelry, carvings, and luxury goods. The stone has also been featured in watchmaking due to its beauty and rarity. Many watch brands incorporate tiger’s eye into their designs, including Bulova, which has created exquisite jewel watches adorned with this striking gemstone.

This is an example of how a tiger’s eye stone dial can be used in watches. The present Bulova Lady jewel watch features tiger’s eye not only on the dial but also on the bracelet, which showcases oval windows adorned with the stone. The most precious stone is on the dial, displaying rich shades of brown and gold. The other stones, all made of tiger’s eye, create a stunning visual effect.
This watch is a true beauty when worn—crafted entirely in 18kt gold, it embodies vintage luxury. The overall condition is exceptional. The tiger’s eye stones, including the dial (the most delicate part, as the hands’ removal can cause damage), are intact and undamaged. The case appears untouched, the tiny Bulova-signed movement functions perfectly, and the bracelet’s clasp mechanism works flawlessly.
