This is a very early example of the Rolex Tudor range. In superb order throughout, it has a charming old-money appearance that is a million miles away from the brash multi-coloured sports watches offered in the high street.

It could be credibly argued that this is almost a civilian version, in gold rather than steel, of the pilots’ watches that were supplied at the same time to the British Government. It is a lovely, exotic piece that would be ideal for investment purchase.

Very much a rarity from a very respected top tier manufacturer, this immaculate vintage Ulysse Nardin is a treat for the connoisseur. With a movement timed to chronometer standard and a stepped case, it is a charming piece.

A model intended for the wealthy American market, this piece shows the strong influence of 1930s art deco design. With an immaculate original black dial and an almost unworn case, it is an investment grade vintage Omega watch.

With its original untouched dial and Mercedes hands, this is the quinessential investment grade vintage Rolex Speedking. A beautiful watch in a state that is becoming very difficult to find, either online or on the physical auction circuit.

A very tidy early post-War manually wound vintage Rolex Oyster with eye catching art deco triangular dial batons. Complete even with its original Rolex instruction leaflet, in itself a very evocative and much sought after document.

Immaculate throughout, this is a delightful example of the immediate post-war output of one of the most highly respect Swiss houses. Case, dial and movement quality is as high as it is possible to get, at any price level.

Cased and sold in America, this lovely tank model is typical of the art deco influenced watches produced by Jaeger LeCoultre and its competitors in the years immediately after World War II. Totally original, it is of investment grade throughout.

Exotic and very difficult to source, this vintage Ulysse Nardin is the perfect specimen of luxury watch making during the Swiss industry’s golden era. Immaculate and original throughout, better could not be found at any price.

In almost perfect, totally original condition, this is a lovely example of high level luxury watchmaking in the years immediately after World War II. A very attractive, and very collectible, piece by one of Switzerland’s most celebrated makers.
