PROPERTY OF A SOUTHEAST ASIAN COLLECTOR Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Big Red”, Reference 6263 A stainless steel chronograph wristwatch with bracelet, Circa 1978 Dial: silvered Calibre: cal. 727 mechanical, 17 jewels Case: stainless steel, screw down case back Case number: 5'529'908 Closure: stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet and folding clasp Size: 37 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 175 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Rolex Garantie The Rolex Daytona is arguably one of the most beloved wristwatch designs in history, with its extensive range of references and variations captivating enthusiasts and enhancing its collectability. While there are a few exceptions, mechanical Daytona's are typically the most sought after, representing the earliest and perhaps the purest iteration of the entire line. The initial four-digit references, from 6239 to 6264, featured non-Oyster cases that were slightly slimmer and equipped with pump pushers. The later references, 6263 and 6265, marked the introduction of the Oyster Daytona's, which, thanks to their thicker waterproof cases and screw-down pushers, appear larger and are often preferred by collectors. The current reference 6263 is also equipped with the desirable “Big Red” dial, where the “Daytona” text above the 6 o’clock sub-dial is prominently printed in bright red and larger than in other references. Earlier 6263 models did not include the “Daytona” text at all, while later service dials displayed the “Small Red” variant with significantly smaller print. The distinctive and striking appearance of “Big Red” dials has made them particularly popular among collectors.

Rolex ‘Double Red’ Sea-Dweller “Tropical MK II”, Reference 1665 A stainless steel wristwatch with date, bracelet and tropical dial, Circa 1972 Dial: tropical Calibre: cal. 1570 automatic, 26 jewels Case: stainless steel, screw down case back Case number: 3’066’109 Closure: stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet and folding clasp with diver’s extension Size: 40 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 180 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: Rolex Garanzia Following the monumental success of the Submariner and with the booming diving industry, Rolex began to notice a strange recurring phenomena - saturation divers would report the crystals of their Submariners popping off during regular usage. After a thorough investigation, the cause was finally found: helium gas would accumulate inside the watch case during long saturation dives and would need to escape, explosively if necessary, during decompression. The defining feature of the Sea-Dweller was the helium escape valve, invented and patented by Rolex themselves, located on the non-crown side case flank. This stroke of genius immediately remedied the crystal issue and was immediately adopted by diving professionals. The first reference of this historic model line was the 1665, and the first few batches within the reference were emblazoned with striking red text. These “Double Red” Sea-Dwellers have since become some of the most coveted dive watches ever made by Rolex. The present Double Red Sea-Dweller is made even more attractive thanks to its tropical dial, a natural process where the colour has patinated from its original black to a handsome and even brown colour. Only Mk II dials are accepted to become tropical, and the dial type is indeed present and correct.

PROPERTY OF AN IMPORTANT ASIAN COLLECTOR Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 'Paul Newman John Player Special Cherry', Reference 6264 A yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with bracelet, Circa 1971 Dial: black, exotic Calibre: cal. 727 mechanical, 17 jewels Case: 14k yellow gold, screw down case back Case number: 2’802’702 Closure: 14k yellow gold Rolex Oyster bracelet and folding clasp Size: 37 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 190 mm Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none In the Rolex collecting world, several key terms will instantly get any connoisseurs’ attention. Daytona. Paul Newman. John Player Special. All of these terms are no stranger to the community, nor to the gavel. Indeed, Paul Newman Daytonas have made up the bulk of high-flying Rolex auction lots in recent years, with John Player Special versions flying higher still. However, this was not the case half a century ago when the Daytona was first introduced. As the well known story goes, the original Daytonas were so unpopular that they would sit in retailer shop windows for years without attracting any interested buyers. This was one of the reasons why, a few years after the release of the reference 6239, Rolex began producing a new dial type in order to add variety and hopefully increase appeal in its struggling chronograph model. Their plan failed, but only for the time being. No one knew it at the time, but Rolex had just created their most desirable dial design, ever. Few manually wound Daytonas were ever made due to their unpopularity at the time, even fewer with exotic dials, and fewer still were cased in gold. Some experts go so far as to estimate that for every Daytona that was cased in gold, ten were cased in stainless steel, with the total amount of gold Daytonas fitted with exotic dials of any colour never exceeding 100 units. It wasn’t until Paul Newman, star of both race track and silver screen was seen wearing an exotic dial 6239 that people began to take notice. The rest, as they say, is history. Yellow gold Paul Newman dials come in three categories: Champagne, Lemon, and the present John Player Special, which signified a black dial with gold accents, aptly named after the iconic Lotus Formula One team which shared the same colour scheme. Champagne examples are the most common, while JPS and Lemon variants are considerably scarcer. Indeed, no more than 20 JPS examples have appeared at auction in the past decade. However, an even scarcer sub-genre of the John Player Special that may be less familiar to the collecting zeitgeist, and indeed has never yet appeared at auction, is the John Player Special ‘Cherry’. Every single John Player Special dial that has appeared at auction features a gold coloured ‘Daytona’ logo above the 6 o’clock register, with the majority of these belonging to the reference 6241 and serial numbers scattered roughly around the year 1970. However, another small batch of John Player Special dials have surfaced in 6264 cases with serials clustered in 1971. These dials feature a slightly different gold colour tone, deeper and richer compared to standard John Player Specials, prompting some experts to refer to them as ‘Reverse Lemon’ dials. Most importantly, these dials all feature ‘Daytona’ Logo in bright red, earning them the moniker ‘Cherry’. Believed to have been produced as a final batch of gold Paul Newman dials, the handful of known examples are found within a narrow grouping of case numbers. Rarely seen publicly, the JPS cherry has only occasionally featured in reference books and online archives. Further research shows that some 20+ years ago a small group of early vintage Rolex collectors were afforded a tour of the Singer factory, and images from that trip included an example of the JPS cherry within Singers own archives.

Cartier Baignoire Allongée, Reference 2674 A yellow gold wristwatch, Circa 2005 Dial: silvered Calibre: cal. 8970 MC mechanical, 18 jewels Case: 18k yellow gold, case back secured by 4 screws Case number: 124776 AF Closure: unsigned red alligator strap and gold-plated buckle Size: 47 mm length x 22 mm width Signed: case, dial and movement Accessories: none In the pantheon of Cartier wristwatch designs, there are several categories that have a bearing on both collectability and price, with the majority of creations by Louis and Jean-Jacques Cartier becoming the most popular and important. These include the Tank Louis, Santos, Crash and also the Baignoire. However, the Baignoire would join the hallowed ranks of models which would grace the drafting tables of both great men. Indeed, the original design which would eventually become the Baignoire was conceived by Louis Cartier himself and presented to Maria Pavlovna, Grand Duchess of Russia. Decades later, the one-off creation would be reinterpreted by Jean-Jacques Cartier, head of the London branch, into what was then known as the Oval and Maxi Oval. Still produced in small quantities, as were all watches made by the London workshop, these designs served as the launchpad for what would eventually become the Baignoire and Bagnoire Allongée. After Cartier left family ownership in the 1970s, the Baignoire name was finally given to the Oval-shaped wristwatch, with the Bagnoire Allongée first appearing in 1991 as an oversized offering calling back to the London Maxi Oval. The Allongée was never made in large quantities with the present example belongs to a subsequent run produced during the early 2000s, and it is imbued with the glorious history of both the brand and the men who made it what it was, Louis and Jean-Jacques Cartier.

Rolex Day-Date “Khanjar Pie-Pan”, Reference 1804 A platinum and diamond-set wristwatch with day, date and bracelet, Retailed by Asprey, Circa 1974 Dial: grey with red Khanjar Calibre: cal. 1556 automatic, 26 jewels Case: platinum, screw down case back Case number: 3’699’620 Closure: platinum Rolex President bracelet and folding clasp Size: 36 mm diameter, bracelet circumference approximately 185 mm Signed: case, dial and movement, case back further signed “Asprey” Accessories: Rolex travelling pouch Even though sports models have always dominated Rolex collectibility, the undisputed flagship of the brand has always been the Day-Date. Only serially produced in precious metals, it has firmly occupied the status of the most prestigious model line ever produced by Rolex. What elevates the present watch even further beyond the prestige of the model is the Khanjar logo found above 6 o’clock, indicating that the watch was once presented by Sultan Qaboos of Oman as a gift. The story goes that the Sultan, who had a great affinity for horology, would order fine timepieces from his retailer, Asprey of London. These watches would then be stamped with the Royal Khanjar logo, occupying the position where dial text is usually found to signify authenticity. It is said that Sultan Qaboos would present stainless steel watches to his subjects and precious metal watches to foreign dignitaries. The present watch is set with diamonds and cased in platinum, the rarest of all the case metals for vintage Rolex, and so presumably must have been presented to the most important of guests. The case back is further engraved “Asprey”, another testament to its provenance and authenticity.

He made a habit of gifting watches from prestigious brands to friends and subjects, elevating most pieces with the Omani Khanjar crest of his family. Due to the rarity and historic value, Khanjar stamped pieces have become immensely popular in recent times. Authentic Khanjar Rolexes must have the logo itself replace lines of text, as this is almost impossible to replicate perfectly on the sly. Collectors also like to see either a corresponding Asprey or Khanjar stamp on the case back. Both of these features are present and correct on the present Datejust.

Publié après Passage de Milan (1954) et avant La Modification (1957, voir lot 29), L’Emploi du temps relate des épisodes de la vie du narrateur qui, a priori insignifiants, prennent a posteriori une certaine importance, permettant de modifier la manière dont des faits anciens doivent être considérés. Pour parvenir à cette construction subtile, Michel Butor s'est aidé d'un plan très étudié, mois par mois, jour par jour.

Bellmer, Hans – Heinrich von Kleist Les Marionnettes. Paris, Édition Visat, 1969. Grand in-4 (405 x 342 mm). En feuilles, couverture rempliée, chemise et étui de toile rouge de l’éditeur. Dernière illustration d'importance de Bellmer. Exemplaire complet de la suite signée sur Japon. Traduction de l’allemand par Robert Valençay. 11 cuivres gravés en couleurs par l'artiste en collaboration avec Cécile Deux et Georges Visat, chacun étant signé. Avec la suite à part sur Japon des 11 cuivres originaux signés. Un des 25 exemplaires réservés aux collaborateurs (n° 9), d’un tirage à 175 sur papier Fabriano teinté. "Bellmer expérimente, une fois encore, les possibilités d'un corps. Ce qui importe, ce n'est pas seulement de créer des combinaisons imaginaires suscitées par le désir, mais de suggérer aussi le dynamisme de la matière, afin que chaque mouvement de la marionnette transmette une émotion directe et sensible. [...] Dernière œuvre d'importance de Bellmer, elle requiert les ultimes possibilités d'un langage du désir pressenti depuis la construction de la première poupée. Ce langage, constitué entre réalité objective et existence subjective, trouve, dans les os pacifiés de la marionnette, sa ligne de coïncidence avec la mort" (P. Dourthe).

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1995

Château Pichon Longueville, Lalande 1995 Pauillac, 2ème Cru Classé Excellent levels, 2 labels slightly scuffed at base In 2025, a deeply scented, classically cedary Pauillac nose, with a touch of red cherries in liqueur. This continues to the palate which is so succulent - the Merlot shows through in 1995, a year that favoured this grape variety. The sheer cassis on the finish also declares the presence of the Cabernet Sauvignon! Increasingly sumptuous in the glass - if you like rich texture, sink into this.

Petrus 1995 Pomerol Good levels, labels slightly soiled, 1 slightly nicked, 2 slightly torn, 2 slightly scuffed This was the driest year since 1945, except for 1961. We used to say it was a bit 'reined in', a touch 'Protestant' even, but now it is much more 'Catholic' and uninhibited! Intense, warm leaves nose, the 'maquis', or scented, wild undergrowth, in full bloom. Immensely tempting. Great red fruit taste, brimming over with health and vivacity. Lovely silky finish. A superb mouthful and signature Petrus, hardly surprising in an excellent year for Merlot.
