First Look: Highlights From Christie's Geneva Auction This November, Including A Never Before Se
This fall is looking like it will be an amazing time to be a vintage watch lover. Last week we showed you some highlights from the Phillips November sale, and now we're back with a few highlights from the Christie's sale. The absolute highlight of this sale is a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar from 1954 – reference 2497 – but this isn't your average 2497. No, this is a fresh to market example, with a never before seen black gilt dial and luminous hands. It's likely one of a kind, and it belonged Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. It is absolutely spectacular. The Emporer Selassie Patek Philippe 2497 With Black Dial And Luminous Hands 1 OF 15 There is absolutely nothing more exciting to watch lovers and collectors than discovering something truly new. This 2497 is a rare instance of not only discovering something entirely new, but also discovering something in truly honest, authentic condition, with indisputable provenance and importance

26320 Chronograph doesn't reset to zero?
Hi guys, need some forum adviceRan my new 1 week old ROC chronograph for around 40mins today (I forgot it was running) and when I stopped and reset the chronograph, the chrono hand jumped to the 55sec mark! Naturally I panicked and forgot to take pictures - After fiddling about with it a couple of times more, starting and resetting the chrono 3 times it finally reset to zero. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Called AP service center and they mentioned it may be due to the oils in the chrono not distributed evenly. I'm currently running the chrono again trying to recreate the problem. Any advice would be great.

Chronomat 41 and Datejust @
Hi all, would really appreciate your feedback here. I am building my collection and thinking about my next two purchases. I want to acquire a Chronomat 41 and a Datejust 2 41mm. Here is my question, I know that one will be two tone, one will be SS. Which way would you go...Two tone Chronomat (YG) and a SS Datejust or Two tone DJ and SS Chronomat? Dial color is a whole other dilemma but I think I need to nail down the model and style first!Thanks

3235 in Submariner
I've been trying to get on a few waiting lists for a 116610LN and had a rather interesting addition to the response from an AD via email. Presumably they would have no actual hard info on this given the secrecy of Rolex, but it's usual that they said it:Quote:

What would you add next to these two?
I have my eye on the polar explorer 2 or a submariner date. Outside of Rolex I like the Tudor North Flag and Breitling Superocean Heritage White dial with mesh bracelet.What would you do, feel free to make any suggestions.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
