  F.P. Journe Élégante, a Titanium, Rubber and Diamond-Set Wristwatch with Motion Detector, circa 2015.
  Estimate $6,500-11,000.

  In 2014 F.P Journe, a Swiss high-end independent watch manufacturer, had released an entirely new line of wristwatches known as Élégante. Élégante not only featured an immensely detailed case finish, the design and light material of the case allowed the watch to rest on the wearer's wrist pleasantly.
  The smart quartz movement is connected to a motion detector at 4 o'clock on the dial. When the motion detector detects that the watch has not been moving for more than 30 mins it will automatically enter in hibernation mode to preserve battery life.

  Piaget, reference 9016, a Yellow Gold Salvador Dali Coin Watch with Concealed Dial, circa 1970.
  Estimate $7,000-9,000.

  The present watch is an excellent example of surrealist creativity meeting horological artistry. Piaget sought to collaborate with artists, beginning with Salvador Dali in 1967.
  
  Inspired by Dali’s love for all things gold, he created a currency of his very own, with engraved coins. In this case, the coin acted as a concealed cover on the current watch. Piaget purchased the rights to use his designs for a period of time. This example remains in excellent overall condition, and is sure to appeal to both art enthusiasts and watch aficionados alike.

  Rolex GMT-Master II "Root Beer", reference 16713, a Yellow Gold, Stainless Steel, Ruby and Diamond-Set Dual Time Zone Wristwatch with Root Beer Bezel, Date and Bracelet, circa 1993.
  Estimate £7,000-10,000.

  Reference 16713 was in production from approximately 1989 to 2006 with different variations of the dial and bezels produced. The present GMT-Master II was the first to house a two-tone stainless steel and yellow gold case. However, the real reason why collectors truly favour this watch is for the colour of its bezel combined with the colour of the case and its dial. The bezel is given the nickname “Root Beer” because it utilizes a brown and cream colour for the inserts, which has a resemblance to the popular soda pop drink. The current watch is further enhanced with a dial set with baguette-cut ruby and diamond-set numerals. Furthermore, the watch is in original condition with full proportions and bevels still present with the case.
