  Patek Philippe, A Large Gold Cushion Form Centre Seconds Bracelet Watch with Date, Ref 3587 'Beta 21', circa 1970
  Estimate £6,000–9,000

  If you are a fan of 1970s styling, this very bold Patek is the wristwear for you. Full of flare, the reference 3587 was the first quartz watch Patek Philippe ever produced and represents the beginning of a very interesting (and contentious) point in the horological history books; the so-called Quartz Revolution.

  Rolex, A Yellow Gold Automatic Centre Seconds Wristwatch with Day, Date and Bracelet, Ref 18038 Case 6654454 Day-Date, circa 1981
  Estimate £4,000–6,000

  This watch could have come straight off of Wall Street… and there’s nothing wrong with that! It used to be a statement piece but now, given its vintage proportions can be worn by men and women alike and looks good both in the boardroom and on the tennis court.

  A Stainless Steel Cushion-Form Automatic Centre Seconds Wristwatch with Date, Ref 5065 Mvt 3011487 Case 4060947 Aquanaut, Made in 1999
  Estimate £4,000–6,000

  Potentially the most popular watch in Patek’s repertoire today, the Aquanaut has an effortless sense of class while remaining sporty and very functional. This particular example of the reference 5065 has aged since its production and its indexes have taken on, in that time, a very attractive and consistent patina.
