Hello World

The Rolex Submariner reference 16613 was introduced in 1988 and remained in production until 2009, marking an important evolution in the history of the Submariner line. It was among the first references—alongside the 16610 in steel and the 16618 in full gold—to debut the in-house caliber 3135, a movement that quickly earned a reputation for its reliability, improved shock resistance, and extended power reserve. With a depth rating of 1000 feet (300 meters), a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the 16613 maintained the technical pedigree expected of a professional dive watch, while introducing a more luxurious aesthetic through the use of precious metal.

This particular example features the classic blue dial and bezel combination, with gold-tone accents that enhance its warm, unmistakable character. The 40 mm case is crafted in stainless steel and yellow gold, matched by a two-tone Oyster bracelet with solid links and a secure flip-lock clasp.
Offered as a full set with the original box, guarantee, and Rolex service paper, this 16613 represents one of the most iconic and versatile iterations of the Submariner—ideal for both everyday wear and as a standout addition to any Rolex collection.

Onyx is a gemstone that has been used since ancient times for making jewelry, ornaments and artifacts. Over the years, it has also been used by several dial manufacturers for their creations, which were later used on prestigious Swiss watches. Many watchmaking houses have embraced the use of this stone, just think of the widespread use by Piaget, Rolex and Patek Philippe in their watches. Though less commonly, Omega has also used Onyx to adorn its watches. Such is the case with this example of an oversized jewelry watch whose white gold case and integrated bracelet is adorned with several carats of diamonds in addition to Onyx.

A delightful object of good taste, this Omega jewel watch is sumptuously enhanced with diamonds and onyx, all set in a whimsical 18 kt white gold case with integrated Milanese bracelet. A distinctive feature is the dial divided into two zones, one in Onyx with Dauphine hands, the other in white gold guilloché with black hands, divided by a diagonal ribbon set with 28 diamonds. Each of these two mini dials is powered by an automatic movement calibre 663 with a corresponding gold winding crown. The two zones also feature diamond cabochon hour markers at the quarters. The watch is in good condition, the Onyx dial shows some cracks, but the time is still perfectly readable. Both the case and the bracelet are perfect and flawless.

A perfect example of Piaget’s mastery in both design and technical innovation, this 1970s Tank reference 9657 features a rectangular 18k white gold case measuring 28 x 23,5 mm. The silver mirror dial is punctuated by elegant blue hands, while the bezel itself bears bold black hour markers—a distinctive and unconventional touch that adds graphic appeal to the design.

Inside, the watch houses the legendary Piaget caliber 9P. Introduced in 1957, this ultra-thin manual-wound movement was groundbreaking at the time: measuring just 2 mm thick, it was the slimmest hand-wound caliber ever made for wristwatches.

An elegant statement piece with historical significance, this Tank embodies the spirit of 1970s Piaget—where boundary-pushing mechanics met daring aesthetics.

Franck Muller has long been known for pushing the boundaries of haute horlogerie, creating timepieces that combine extreme technical complexity with bold design. In 2006, the brand introduced the Aeternitas 1, marking the beginning of the exclusive Aeternitas collection—dedicated to some of the most complicated watches ever made.

One of the standout models from this series is the Aeternitas 3 Ref. 8888 T CC R, a split-seconds chronograph tourbillon with retrograde chronograph hour indication. At 12 o’clock, it features a remarkable 200-hour power reserve indicator, while a second time zone is shown at 9 o’clock.

The watch comes in a 42 x 49 mm rose gold Cintrée Curvex case, a signature shape of the brand. The dial is silvered guilloché, hand-finished, and features bold Arabic numerals in Franck Muller’s instantly recognizable style.

Inside ticks the automatic Caliber FM 3420 T CC R, showcasing the brand’s dedication to mechanical excellence. 

The watch is sold with its original box and warranty.

In the 1950s, Patek Philippe created some of its most refined timepieces — watches that seamlessly blended elegance and mechanical mastery. Among these, the reference 2292, affectionately nicknamed “Tegolino,” stands out as a delicate and rare example of mid-century design.

This ladies’ watch features a curved rectangular case in 18k yellow gold, measuring 13 x 33 mm. The soft oxidation on the case adds a beautiful vintage charm, a sign of time gracefully passed.

The champagne dial is minimal yet sophisticated, with applied gold hour markers that catch the light with subtle brilliance. Inside ticks a hand-wound caliber 8’’80, a testament to Patek Philippe’s dedication to timeless craftsmanship.

The watch is accompanied by its Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, confirming its production in 1955 and subsequent sale in 1956.
