The history of Hermès, creator of luxury goods that range from leather to home furnishings, jewellery and more, begins in the mid-19th century. In 1837 Thierry Hermès, recognising the demand for high quality harnesses for the carriages of the nobility, opened a shop in Paris. He soon became known as the best in his field, and he counted Napoléon III and his wife, the Empress Eugénie, among his clientele. Eventually, Thierry’s son Charles-Emilie would expand their product line to the manufacture of saddles, boots, whips and importantly, feeding bags, or nosebags. Incidentally, a nosebag is thought to be the design inspiration for Hermes later Picotin handbag. This expertise at working leather gradually evolved into the production of leather handbags, with Hermès releasing its first in 1922. By 1929 it had launched its first collection of women’s fashion, and throughout the 1930s it created many of its most iconic items, from the ‘Kelly’ bag (so-called only decades later, when it was made famous by Grace Kelly in 1956), to its famous silk scarves, later moving on into watches, then perfumes and silk ties in the 1940s. By the 1980s Hermès was a globally recognised brand. Its iconic Birkin bag — said to have been inspired after the director of Hermès sat next to Jane Birkin on a plane, where she complained of handbags never having enough pockets — remains a fashion standard to this day, while its engagement of post-modern fashion designer Martin Margiela and later Jean-Paul Gaultier put it at the cutting edge of fashion through the 1990s and beyond. Today it remains among the world’s most valuable brands.

At its heart lies an extraordinary tribute to Château Margaux and Château Mouton Rothschild, distinguished by an exceptional concentration of rare large formats. Magnums, Double Magnums and Imperials feature throughout the collection, many accompanied by bespoke taylormade wooden presentation cases commissioned by the owner, a testament to the esteem in which these wines were held. The selection spans many of Bordeaux's most celebrated vintages, from the legendary 1955 and 1961 through 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2016, 2020 and 2022. The remarkable Château Margaux holdings are crowned by three complete verticals encompassing every vintage from 1978 to 2002. Beyond Bordeaux, the cellar showcases carefully selected icons from Champagne, Burgundy and the Rhône Valley, including Cristal, Clos de Tart and Jean-Louis Chave, acquired through privileged allocations and meticulously preserved over time. Representing both exceptional provenance and a deeply personal journey through the world of fine wine, this collection offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire mature bottles and spectacular large formats that are seldom encountered on the market. _________________________________ Assemblée au fil des décennies par un négociant et collectionneur passionné, cette remarquable cave témoigne d’un engagement de toute une vie envers les plus grands vins de France.

Château Haut Brion 2006 Pessac-Léognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classé On New Year's Eve 2024, a terrific colour! Plush plums and concentrated heathery intensity on the nose. Black fruit to the forceful fore on the palate, structured and complex, not super-ripe (the vintage), but with impact and punch. Could keep further. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 96 24 hfbts (2 owc) Provenance: This historic auction marks the celebration of 90 years of Dillon family stewardship at Château Haut-Brion, acquired by Clarence Dillon in 1935, and represents the first sale dedicated exclusively to the wines of Château Haut-Brion. Sourced directly and exclusively from the legendary cellars of Château Haut-Brion in Bordeaux, the sale comprises 676 lots spanning nearly a century, from 1935 to 2025. It brings together the full breadth of wines produced at Château Haut-Brion, including Château Haut-Brion Rouge and Blanc, as well as Le Bahans Haut-Brion, Le Clarence de Haut-Brion, Les Plantiers de Haut-Brion and La Clarté de Haut-Brion, the second wines of Château Haut-Brion Rouge and Blanc. Every lot in this auction was carefully examined by Sotheby’s specialists at Château Haut-Brion, and all bottles have excellent levels and appearance unless otherwise indicated. Following inspection, the wines were securely packed and transported under controlled conditions from the Domaine. Château Haut-Brion, Domaine Clarence Dillon: Celebrating Our 10th Decade of Family Stewardship offers collectors an exceptional opportunity to acquire wines of impeccable château provenance from one of the world’s most historic and revered wine estates. As ex-cellar quantities of many historic vintages are now increasingly limited, the depth of vintages, pristine condition and breadth of formats presented in this auction make it a singular moment for collectors of Bordeaux and First Growth wines. In addition to the wines themselves, the auction will feature six unique experiences created especially to celebrate this anniversary, each paired with rare vintages from Domaine Clarence Dillon’s cellars. Among the highlights is an extraordinary barrel of the 2025 vintage — the first barrel ever to be offered in an ex-cellar First Growth auction — together with a rare Château Haut-Brion console and wine chest from a limited series originally conceived to mark the 75th anniversary of Clarence Dillon’s acquisition of the estate. Designed by David Linley, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, together with H.R.H. Prince Robert of Luxembourg, each console was created to contain a selection of eight bottles representing some of the greatest Château Haut-Brion vintages produced across eight decades of Dillon family ownership. Also included is a unique limited-edition 2025 PFV case, offered by Primum Familiae Vini, the association of leading family-owned wine producers of which Domaine Clarence Dillon is a member. A tribute to “The” First Growth of Bordeaux, the sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire wines which, with direct château provenance, embody both the history of Château Haut-Brion and the enduring vision of the Dillon family. _________________________________ Cette vente historique célèbre 90 ans de gérance familiale par la famille Dillon à Château Haut-Brion, acquis par Clarence Dillon en 1935, et constitue la première vente dédiée exclusivement aux vins de Château Haut-Brion.

Patek Philippe Reference 3940 ‘Second Series’ A yellow gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with moon phases, 24 hour, leap year indication and French calendar, Made in 1988 Dial: silvered Calibre: cal. 240Q automatic, 27 jewels Movement number: 771’350 Case: 18k yellow gold, snap on case back Case number: 2’852’928 Closure: brown Patek Philippe alligator strap and 18k yellow gold buckle Size: 36 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present watch in 1988 and its subsequent sale on 28 October 1988, setting pin and winding box Despite the turmoil that came about with the rise of the Quartz Crisis, Patek Philippe were one of the few Swiss watchmakers that remained faithful to the concept of mechanical horology. The calibre 240Q, which sits at the heart of the 3940, was a revolutionary movement by Patek Philippe that featured a perpetual calendar coming in at a thickness of just 8.5 mm thanks to its new micro-rotor architecture. At the present, both the movement and reference has been hailed for its historical significance by Patek Philippe collectors. This present example belongs to the earlier segment of the second series, with non-cross hair 3 o'clock sub-dial. With the current focus on neo-vintage classics like this one, the reference 3940 will surely be a must-have piece for decades to come within the zeitgeist of Patek Philippe.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual "Bubbleback", Reference 3131 A yellow gold watch wristwatch with bracelet and 24 hour dial, Circa 1930 Dial: black Calibre: automatic, jewelled Case: 14k yellow gold, screw down case back Case number: 27'264 Closure: 18k yellow gold Rolex Oyster bracelet and folding clasp Size: 32.5 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 180 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none A fascinating example of Rolex’s pioneering early wristwatch production, the present Bubbleback Reference 3131 embodies the distinctive design that helped establish the brand’s reputation during the first half of the 20th century. Crafted in yellow gold and fitted with an accompanying bracelet, the present watch is notable for its rare 24 hour dial, an unusual and highly collectible feature that sets it apart from conventional timepieces of the era. Produced in the 1930s, it showcases the celebrated Oyster case and the characteristic rounded caseback that earned the “Bubbleback” its enduring nickname, reflecting Rolex’s early advancements in waterproof cases and automatic movements.

Patek Philippe Reference 5125 A limited edition platinum annual calendar wristwatch with moon phases and 24 hour indication, Made for the 125th anniversary of Wempe, Circa 2003 Dial: black Calibre: cal. 315 S automatic, 35 jewels Movement number: 3'360'279 Case: platinum, screw down sapphire crystal display back Case number: limited edition 030/100 and 4'215'609 Closure: black Patek Philippe alligator strap and platinum folding clasp Size: 37 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement; dial further signed by retailer Accessories: Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, setting pin, instruction manual, commemorative medal, presentation box and Wempe warranty card Founded in 1878 by Gerhard Diedrich Wilhelm Wempe, Wempe has evolved from a distinguished German watchmaking and jewellery business into an internationally recognised luxury retailer. Since 1972, under the leadership of Herbert Wempe, the company has been an authorised Patek Philippe retailer in Hamburg, reflecting the close relationship between the two esteemed firms. Introduced in 2003 to commemorate Wempe’s 125th anniversary and its enduring partnership with Patek Philippe, the Reference 5125 was produced in a limited series of just 125 pieces in each gold variant and 100 examples in platinum. The model is among the most desirable retailer-signed Patek Philippe watches of the modern era. This annual calendar is instantly recognisable by the presence of Wempe’s name on the moon phase subdial, a subtle yet highly significant detail that celebrates the collaboration. Complementing this unique feature is a striking dark dial, lending the watch a sense of depth, character, and contemporary sophistication.

Patek Philippe Reference 5074 A platinum minute repeating perpetual calendar wristwatch with cathedral gongs, moon phases, 24 hour and leap year indication, Circa 2012 Dial: black Calibre: cal. R 27 Q automatic, 39 jewels Movement number: 5'000'951 Case: platinum, snap on sapphire crystal display back Case number: 4'565'087 Closure: black Patek Philippe alligator strap and platinum Henri Stern buckle Size: 42 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, additional case back, setting pin, product literature, instruction manual, leather portfolio and winding presentation box Launched in 2002, the Patek Philippe Reference 5074 succeeded the highly acclaimed 3974, carrying forward one of the manufacture’s most prestigious grand complications. Powered by the same automatic Calibre R 27 Q, the reference represented a departure from Patek Philippe’s longstanding preference for housing complex movements in compact cases, instead presenting the mechanism within a substantial 42 mm case. Composed of no fewer than 467 individual parts, the 5074 stands as a remarkable achievement in contemporary haute horlogerie, uniting two of watchmaking’s most coveted complications: a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar. The minute repeater is equipped with cathedral gongs, which are approximately twice the length of conventional gongs, producing a richer, more resonant, and more sonorous chime. Complementing this acoustic masterpiece is a perpetual calendar capable of automatically accounting for leap years, with its indications elegantly arranged across the dial, including a moon-phase display and a dedicated 24-hour subdial. The harmonious blend of technical sophistication and classical aesthetics makes the 5074 one of the most compelling complicated wristwatches of its era. Produced in extremely limited quantities, yellow gold examples were available with either a silver or black dial from 2002 until 2006. Pink gold variants joined the collection in 2005, followed by a platinum version in 2009, offered presently, both of which remained part of the manufacture’s offerings thereafter. The present platinum example represents an exceptionally rare opportunity for collectors, marking only very few appearances of a platinum 5074 at auction.

CPCP watches are often identified by their distinctive guilloché dial featuring a central “rosette” motif and finely finished mechanical movements with Cartier's "double C" pattern. Unlike most regular production Tank Basculante models, which feature a solid reversible case back, the present watch showcases the calibre 060 MC, based on the Frédéric Piguet calibre 610 - through a sapphire display back, allowing the movement's finishing to be fully appreciated.

The watch comes in at a remarkable thickness of just 9 mm and case diameter of 36 mm, allowing the watch to wear effortlessly on anyone's wrist.

In 1899, Cartier made a pivotal move to 13 Rue de la Paix, a prestigious location in the heart of Paris’s luxury district, near the Place Vendôme. This relocation marked a turning point in the company’s history, positioning the Maison at the centre of Parisian high society and fashion.

Rolex Explorer II, Reference 16550 A stainless steel wristwatch with 24 hour indication, date, cream dial and bracelet, Circa 1984 Dial: cream Calibre: cal. 3085 automatic, 27 jewels Case: stainless steel, screw down case back Case number: 8'453'088 Closure: stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet and folding clasp Size: 40 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 190 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Rolex Garantie, product literature and presentation box Produced for only a brief period between 1985 and 1989, the Rolex Explorer II reference 16550 is widely regarded as one of the most desirable transitional references in the model's history. Owing to its short production run, the reference occupies a unique position among collectors. Particularly coveted are examples fitted with the original white dial, many of which have naturally aged to a rich cream tone due to an instability in the dial lacquer used by Rolex during the period. Known among enthusiasts as the “Cream Dial” or “Panna Dial” (the Italian word for cream), these attractively patinated dials have become one of the defining characteristics of the reference and are highly prized for their individuality and rarity.

Patek Philippe Reference 5971 A platinum and diamond-set perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phases, 24 hour and leap year indication, in single factory seal, Circa 2007 Dial: black Calibre: cal. CH27-70 Q mechanical, 24 jewels Movement number: 3’049’106 Case: platinum, screw down sapphire crystal display back Case number: 4’443’332 Closure: black Patek Philippe alligator strap and platinum and baguette-cut diamond-set Henri Stern buckle Size: 40 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin, additional case back, setting pin and presentation box The perpetual calendar chronograph collection is widely considered to be the crown jewel of Patek Philippe. The dial design, which has remained largely unchanged from 1941 into the present day, displays the complex information from both complications in a very legible and elegant way, and as a result every single reference, starting with the pioneering reference 1518 and continuing through the mythical reference 2499 and coveted 3970, has become hugely collectible within its own right. The present reference 5971 is no different, and along with its sister reference 5970 are the models which brought the perpetual calendar chronograph into modernity. Introduced in 2004 and under the guidance of a young Thierry Stern, the 5970/71 series saw the case diameter increased drastically from 36 to 40 mm, along with a reworked case architecture which allowed the watch to wear boldly on the wrist while still remaining well proportioned and gentlemanly. The pushers reverted from the pump-style of the 3970 and later 2499s back to the historic square-shape, harkening back to Patek Philippe’s historic references 1518 and 2499 first series. The new references were an instant hit, and today they are considered a must-have for any serious collector. The present 5971 is differentiated from its sister reference by the addition of a diamond-set bezel and buckle, adding a further element of luxury and rarity. The eye-catching diamonds offer the perfect contrast against the understated black dial, and in the current market combine to create one of the most sought after configurations for complicated Patek Philippe.

Also known as the “Aquatic”, the reference is distinguished by its two-piece case with screw down back and dust protection for the movement. The present example is cased in 18k yellow gold and features a silvered dial which aged to a warm yellow tone. Powered by the calibre 10-200, the watch represents an attractive and rare example of Patek Philippe’s early waterproof wristwatch production.

Lange & Söhne alligator strap and 18k honey gold buckle Size: 38.5 mm diameter Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: A. Lange & Söhne Guarantee Seal, setting pin, travelling pouch and presentation box Introduced in 2001, the Langematik Perpetual marked a significant milestone in the history of A. Lange & Söhne, representing the manufacture’s first perpetual calendar wristwatch and an important technical achievement in modern horology. Notably, it was the first mechanical wristwatch to combine a perpetual calendar complication with a large date display, a hallmark of the brand inspired by the five-minute clock of Dresden’s Semper Opera House. Celebrated for its exceptional legibility and ingenious engineering, the model seamlessly integrates a highly complex calendar mechanism while retaining the aesthetic balance and refinement that have become synonymous with the Saxon manufacture. The present example, unveiled in 2019, is among the most desirable iterations of the reference, distinguished by its exclusive Honeygold case and limited production of just 100 pieces. Developed by A. Lange & Söhne, Honeygold is a proprietary alloy prized for its warm hue and exceptional hardness, lending the watch both visual distinction and durability. Further setting this edition apart is the finely executed guilloché decoration within the hour chapter ring, a sophisticated detail absent from standard models. The interplay between the richly textured dial and the lustrous Honeygold case creates a refined and elegant aesthetic, underscoring the rarity and collectability of this exceptional perpetual calendar.
