Horological Meandering

Many pictures of (very) rare timepieces from the today Phillips exhibition before auctions (and a little nod pic at the end)

Hi all,

I had the chance, this morning, to go to the Phillips auctioneer exhibition before the "Geneva Watch Auction" which will start next Saturday at 6pm.

Before beginning, a nice little and well known car in the exhibition room ;-)

It's a shame! Impossible to take a picture of all the beauties I saw knowing that in addition to the Phillips Geneva auction timepieces, a lot more exhibited will be auctioned late November in Hong Kong.

I'm also sorry for the bad quality of my pics :-(

Let's do it! Hope you will enjoy as I did

Lange Zeitwerk Luminous in platinum LE 100 pieces from 2010

Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic from 1958

Vacheron Constantin 222 in steel from 1981

Rolex Antimagnetic in steel from 1940 with a wonderful salmon dial

Omega Speedmaster Professional "Alaska II" Project from 1970

Rolex Oyster Cosmograph Daytona for Tiffany from 1978

Rolex Oyster Cosmograph Paul Newman from 1970

Rolex COMEX Submariner from 1984

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak steel/gold from 1986... #1 never worn

Breguet Triple Calendar in steel very unusual from 1948

Rolex Submariner 4 lines with an amazing brown tropical dial from 1959

Greubel Forsey

Pia thinks it was a top cool exhibition ;-)

Best wishes

Alkiro

My pleasure Julian

I had no natural light so it was difficult to take good pics :-( Best wishes Alkiro

Pia's younger sister? [nt]

By: dr.kol : November 10th, 2016-10:20

No just Pia. But Pia will stay young forever

I was dreaming about a whole Pia family.

By: dr.kol : November 10th, 2016-10:39

The picture proves that Pia is really multi-dimensional. Kari

Well, a whole Pia family supposes a "daddy Pia" (of course you cannot be the daddy for incest reasons)... which is called a lady boy (very multi-dimensional). Not sure you would like him/her in your family Kari ;-)

By: Alkiro1 : November 10th, 2016-10:48

Fortunately, I have no pic of that Best wishes Alkiro

The third bottle of wine today getting empty?

By: dr.kol : November 10th, 2016-10:57

I do not believe you. Don't insult Pia! Best, Kari

Fourth one ;-)

I hope Gran Cru [nt]

Dom Pérignon. Cheers my friend ;-)

Best wishes Alkiro ...

I did not have a drop of Dom Perignon since Tuesday.

By: dr.kol : November 10th, 2016-11:47

They had in Mandarin Oriental SG only 2006 and it was SGD 90 per glass and not really worth the name. Do you have some 2002 left? That starts to be good. Best, Kari

Unfortunately no :-(

So, which one is coming home with you?

By: KMII : November 10th, 2016-10:41

So many great choices... Thanks for sharing!

Wow, very difficult choice but I would say the VC 222 which could almost be in my budget ;-)

By: Alkiro1 : November 10th, 2016-10:57

Will see the realised price soon for this timepiece (estimation between 15000 and 20000 CHF which is already not bargain for this watch I think) Best wishes Alkiro

The VC 222 is one of my grails, too

By: KMII : November 10th, 2016-11:16

Especially the 37mm Jumbo with the silvery grey dial

You have great tastes my friend. Hope you will own one in the future ;-)

By: Alkiro1 : November 10th, 2016-11:18

Best wishes Alkiro

So do I :) [nt]

By: KMII : November 10th, 2016-11:55

Lovely pieces and that awesome gullwing... always wanted one in my garage!

By: KamalRostov : November 10th, 2016-15:52

Pia surprised me at the end there!!! Wasn't expecting her at all

And if you can back home driving the Mercedes with Pia next to you, the life would be perfect :-)

Only in dreams sir... [nt]

Unfortunately yes :-(

It looks like the sign on picture 1 is either sweating or crying

By: Bounce781 : November 10th, 2016-21:50

Sweating because of the potential prices being asked Or crying because of being overbid. I know these feelings PS I have a bid in for one of the items. Fingers crossed

LOL good one :-)

By: Alkiro1 : November 10th, 2016-23:40

I hope you will win the timepiece you desire my friend. May be I will go back there for the Saturday auction. Best wishes Alkiro

Lucky man, Alkiro

By: Bounce781 : November 11th, 2016-00:03

I\'d love to make it to one of their auctions in person. HAGWE

That's probably better for you to avoid the emulation of an auction. A true danger for your wallet IMHO ;-)

By: Alkiro1 : November 11th, 2016-00:09

Best wishes Alkiro

That is a good point

By: Bounce781 : November 11th, 2016-03:18

;-)

It works for me too ;-)

Crosshair Geophysic is stunning

By: RG1 : November 11th, 2016-00:37

but radium dots are not alligned very well with index marker

I think it is just a picture effect du to the light and the glass
