CARTIER CLOCHE REFERENCE 4338 CPC 100 PIECES

The Cartier Cloche, one of the brand’s rarest and most unique designs, debuted in 1921 with a distinctive bell-shaped case, hence the name “Cloche” (French for bell). This unusual form allows the watch to function as both a wristwatch and a small desk clock when placed on its side, with the dial rotated 90 degrees to position the 12 o’clock at the upper right. Though Cartier rarely re-issued the Cloche model—apart from a few custom or unique pieces in the 1990s—it was revived in 2021 as part of the Cartier Privé collection. This limited edition release featured platinum, yellow gold, and pink gold versions, with only 100 pieces crafted in each metal.

This Cartier Cloche reference 4338 is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after model from Cartier’s CPC collection. Crafted in platinum as part of a limited edition of just 100 pieces, it features a warm ivory-toned dial that beautifully complements the striking red ruby cabochon crown. This watch is new, never used and comes as a full set with its original box, papers, and limited edition certification.

JLC REVERSO PLATINUM SKELETON “NUMBER ONE” L.E. 500 PIECES

The present Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso reference 270.6.49 is an extremely rare model of the iconic Reverso by JLC. Produced in only 500 pieces, this spectacular watch is highly sought after by JLC collectors, as it seldom appears on the market. The case is crafted entirely in platinum, with hallmarks on the inner side of the back. A notable feature is the skeletonized dial and back, showcasing the full extent of JLC’s craftsmanship—few brands in the world could achieve such remarkable decoration 20 years ago when this watch was manufactured. The watch is in excellent, original condition and was likely never polished. The case back shows some aging, which is typical for a 20-year-old watch that has never been polished.

CORUM ROLLS ROYCE WHITE GOLD DIAMONDS

Yes, the Corum Rolls-Royce watch is a fascinating piece with a unique design inspired by the luxury car brand Rolls-Royce. Introduced in the mid-1970s, it was part of Corum’s bold and imaginative approach to watchmaking, where the brand often took inspiration from luxury and lifestyle themes. This model is instantly recognizable by its case shaped like a Rolls-Royce radiator grille, complete with the Rolls-Royce logo and a miniature Spirit of Ecstasy emblem at the top. The watch was built with the goal of mirroring the elegance and prestige associated with Rolls-Royce cars. While its design polarized watch collectors, the watch became an iconic piece in the Corum lineup and it remains a collectible for both car enthusiasts and watch collectors, who appreciate it as a statement piece and as a product of its time.

ROLEX KING MIDAS REFERENCE 3580 WHITE GOLD “CREAM” DIAL

The Rolex King Midas reference 3580 was the second model marketed in the iconic Rolex King Midas series. Manufactured from the early 1960s, this model bears the creative touch of its designer, the master himself: Gerald Genta. Drawing inspiration from ancient Greek aesthetics, Genta crafted the watch case to echo the silhouette of the Parthenon, while the left-sided winding crown symbolizes the sun atop Mount Olympus, adding a distinctive flair. An exceptional aspect of the Rolex King Midas is its original box set, which also reflects the ancient Greek theme. The outer box features typical Greek decorations and figures, shaped like an urn with printed pictograms reminiscent of authentic Greek artifacts. Reference 3580 gradually replaced the original reference 9630, with minor differences such as the gradual replacement of “Midas” on the dial with “Cellini.” However, some examples of the 9630 retain the “Midas” wording on the dial, making them particularly special, like the present example.

This present Rolex King Midas reference 3580 exemplifies the sought-after and rare nature of this model. White gold King Midas timepieces are especially rare, as they were produced in limited numbers. The rarity of this particular example is further enhanced by the presence of the “Midas” wording on the “cream” dial, despite being a second series model. The watch is in excellent overall condition, with a pristine dial, perfectly functioning caliber, and a case that retains its original curves and angles.
