The reference 1463, also known as the “Tasti Tondi”, is one of Patek Philippe’s most iconic chronographs. It holds a special place in the brand’s history as the first Patek chronograph to feature a water-resistant case with a screw-down caseback and distinctive round pump pushers — design elements that gave it a sportier look compared to its more classic counterparts.
Introduced in the 1940s, the reference remained in production for approximately 25 years, with an estimated total of around 750 pieces produced. The majority were crafted in yellow gold, while only a few rare examples, such as the present watch, were made in stainless steel.
This particular piece features an outstanding untouched two-tone dial, showcasing a beautiful outer tachymeter scale, a railroad minute track, and applied Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions.
Powering the watch is the hand-wound Caliber 13”’, a movement celebrated for its reliability and elegance — further enhancing the historical significance of this timepiece.
Accompanied by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, confirming its production in 1950 and subsequent sale in 1951, and its original Patek Philippe box, this watch is undoubtedly a dream piece for collectors of important vintage timepieces.
A true icon of elegance and sophistication, the Rolex Prince Imperial Ref. 1586 stands as one of the most sought-after pocket watches from the renowned Geneva-based manufacture. Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this 1940s timepiece is distinguished by its unique irregular hexagonal case—an audacious design that reflects Rolex’s innovative spirit of the era.
The exceptionally clean black dial provides a striking contrast against the gold baton indices and the small seconds subdial at six o’clock, enhancing both legibility and timeless aesthetic appeal. Adding to its exclusivity, this piece bears the prestigious Verga personalization, a hallmark of the historic Milanese high-watchmaking boutique.
Powered by a manual-winding movement, the Prince Imperial exemplifies Rolex’s commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and reliability. With dimensions of 41 x 37 mm, this pocket watch exudes a refined presence, becoming increasingly rare to find—especially in such outstanding condition.
Furthermore, this exceptional timepiece is accompanied by its original presentation box, also personalized Verga, adding an extra layer of authenticity and collectability.
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.
