New Entry: Available
Patek Philippe 3940R Second series. Perpetual calendar in 18k rose gold.

Few references capture the idea of a modern classic as well as the 3940. A 36mm case, the ultra-thin Calibre 240 Q with its 22k gold central rotor, and a perpetual calendar with moon-phase that never crowds the dial.

This example has everything a collector looks for: raised gold hour markers, an 18k rose gold case in excellent condition, crisp hallmarks, and a full set including the winding box, Certificat d’origine, extract from the archives and the second caseback.

A complete 3940 with its documented history, ready for its next chapter.

Sold: Patek Philippe Ref. 96, from 1939.

A black dial, still deep after more than eighty years.

Applied gold baton numerals, sword hands, dauphine hands, a gilt railway track and subsidiary seconds at six — the restrained proportions of pre-war Patek Philippe, with nothing added that wasn’t necessary.

Then, on closer inspection, another detail emerges.

Beneath Patek Philippe & Co. Genève long signature sits a second signature: *Lörtscher*, the Belgian retailer who originally sold the watch.

Double-signed dials show the original provenance written directly into the watch itself. They connect a timepiece not only to its maker, but to a particular retailer, and ultimately, a particular place.

The case retains honest wear. The period woven gold bracelet remains with it.

Black dials from this era are rare. Retailer-signed examples rarer still.

Now with its new caretaker.

Peak Watchmaking.

Introduced in 1938, the Patek Philippe Ref. 570 was the first large Calatrava produced in series, a bold 35 mm case at a time when the Ref. 96 measured just over 30 mm.

For over three decades, the “Calatravone” quietly defined what a modern dress watch could be: restrained, architectural and remarkably assured.

This particular example dates to 1955 and it’s now available.

18K rose gold, with an unpolished case preserving its original proportions and sharply defined lines. An exceptional enamel dial, retaining the character of its era. Inside, Patek Philippe’s hand-wound Calibre 12’’’-400.

Single-owner provenance, accompanied by an Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives.

The Ref. 570 was never about excess.
It was about getting everything exactly right.

A weekend in Maastricht, surrounded by old watches, familiar faces and the people who keep the world of vintage collecting alive.

We take a closer look at the latest gathering of the Vintage Watch Hunting Club, a private meeting where collectors come together to share watches, stories and the knowledge that comes with years of collecting.

Beyond the watches themselves, it is about trust, discretion and the friendships built along the way. And, of course, the story behind those now-iconic photographs of Rolex Daytonas on Louis Vuitton trunks.

Our thanks to the organizers , , , .meijers and for bringing the community together, and to all the friends we had the pleasure of reconnecting with and meeting over the weekend.

Until the next hunt.

We’re back from vacation and came with something special..

This one’s a beauty: Patek Philippe Calatrava Perpetual Calendar ref. 5050R, in 18K rose gold, dating to 1996

A particularly desirable configuration for this neo-vintage reference, combining the retrograde date with a perpetual calendar — one of the defining innovations of the model.

Case in very good overall condition, dial flawless and beautifully preserved, fitted with its original alligator strap and 18K rose gold buckle.

Full set: original box and papers included

Honestly, those hour markers give us serious early-series 3970 vibes — that same restrained, elegant typography feels like a real design bridge between the two references. A fascinating link between two icons of the Patek perpetual calendar lineage.

A charming and sophisticated opportunity within a category that continues to attract strong collector interest.

We’re taking a short break for the holidays and will be back in September with a new drop of exceptional vintage timepieces.

Still available: the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar 5050R. The 5040 is currently on hold.

Enjoy the summer, and see you in September for what’s next.

SOLD.

A true collector’s piece.

Rolex Pre-Daytona Ref. 6238 with black galvanic dial.

Produced before the Daytona name appeared on the dial, the Ref. 6238 represents the final evolution of Rolex’s early chronographs and the direct predecessor to the Cosmograph Daytona. Fitted with the highly sought-after black galvanic dial, this configuration is celebrated for its rarity, timeless design, and significance in Rolex’s chronograph heritage.

An exceptional example of one of Rolex’s most sought-after Pre-Daytona references.

Vacheron Constantin Ref. 4560 — Triple Calendar, Moon Phase
18k Rose Gold · Manual-wind calibre P495 · 1940’s

Some watches are documented. Others are felt.

This Ref. 4560 is an exceptionally rare piece: a triple calendar with moon phase complication in 18k rose gold, housed in a thick stepped-lug case manufactured by Antoine Gerlach — still retaining its strong original proportions and clearly visible hallmarks, details rarely found intact today.

The original dial is preserved with its enamel graphics intact, displaying a rich, even patina that gives the watch extraordinary depth and character. The harmony between the rose gold case and the two-tone dial is something modern watchmaking simply cannot replicate.

An Extract from the Archives has been requested, further reinforcing its historical importance.

Rarity. Originality. Condition. Everything a serious collector looks for, in one exceptional example.

Now available on anciennewatches.com — request more info via DM.

Not just a watch. Sculpture in motion.

Vacheron Constantin “Helm” 4709, 1950’s — case carved by C. Markowski, dramatic fancy lugs, curved lines that defy convention.

A two-tone guilloché dial, rich in texture and depth.
Preserved in remarkable original condition, hallmarks crisp, proportions intact.

A rare piece — for collectors with truly refined and unconventional taste.
