De Bethune

Model: Limited to 25 "Yellow Submarine" Illuminating 
Renowned for relentless innovation, in the DB28GS, Denis Flageollet and his team have produced one of the most ground-breaking divers watches ever made. One of only 25 pieces, the watch features a mechanically powered, internal lighting system that illuminates both the dial and the rotating bezel, the "Yellow Submarine" is nothing short of ingenious. Hosting a full gamut of DB's patented and signature innovations from the floating lugs, triple parechute shock absorption and aerodynamic balance wheel, there is a strong case to be made that this represents the perfect distillation of De Bethune's first 20 years.
Supremely comfortable in ultra-light yellow treated Titanium and black Zirconium, this example is found in unworn condition, and complete with the original DB box, certificate and accessories.

Audemars Piguet

Ref. 25860ST.0.1110ST.01
Model: Royal Oak Chronograph 
The Royal Oak Chronograph ref 25860ST shares the full genetic codes of the original Royal Oak, as while it can be considered a sportier version than the time only model due to the presence of a chronograph function, it retains an incredibly elegant and suave presence that makes it one of the most versatile chronographs of its generation.This reference is nicknamed "Kasparov" by collectors as the legendary chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov wore one during his professional games and would always remove it from his wrist prior to his last, winning moves. The present example, found in excellent condition is found with an Audemars Piguet box.

Audemars Piguet

Ref. 25721TI.O.1000TI.01
Model: Royal Oak Offshore, “The Beast” 
Disruptive in its size, the watch designed by Emmanuel Gueit measures an impressive 42mm in diameter and is garnered with its rightful nickname “The Beast”. Radical and contemporary for its time, the watch gained popularity amongst the young generation and was famously worn on the wrist of Italy’s beloved athlete and alpine skiing legend, Alberto Tomba. Since then, the launch of reference 25721 marked the beginning of the over-sized trend for sports watches. Exuding a cool and masculine charm, “The Beast” was fitted with an ashen grey tapisserie dial with rugged blue accents and cased in titanium. Presented with an extra layer of personality, through the passing of time throughout the 21 or so years of this timepiece, the present E series features a unique and gorgeous patina on its dial. Originally finished in brushed blue, all three registers and dial centre have developed a tropical throughout. Accompanied with a service invoice from Audemars Piguet and service box, this impressive but lightweight Royal Oak is the perfect example of the genius of its designer.
