Questions to identify this configuration

  • Dial: 14k gold. Ask which reference document or item-specific photograph supports this recorded detail, and whether the offered watch differs.
  • Request clear reference and serial markings, a service history and disclosure of replaced components. Compare those documents with the exact configuration above before treating another example as equivalent.

Reference sources and price evidence

0 distinct reference sources are attached to these 1 catalog entry. 1 entry has no attached reference source; treat their specifications and historical notes as catalog claims awaiting verification.

0 of 1 entry has attached price-source links. Dealer ranges, auction ranges and catalog estimates are separate data categories, not live offers or verified transaction results. Check each linked page for asking versus sold price, sale date, currency, fees and the actual configuration; a source link alone does not establish those details.

Photographs illustrate sourced examples. Image-source links identify their origin; they are not reference research, proof of authenticity or a statement of image rights. No physical inspection is represented here. Read the editorial and evidence method.

Collector Notes

Fewer than 250 made, US market only. No clean 14k comp exists; the only firm gold result is an 18k at Christie's HK Nov 2022, about 155,000. Previous band was conflating 14k and 18k
