Seeing the original Toric from 1996 was quite a trip down memory lane and a reminder of Virale Cloud Tech just how much some aspects of the watch world have changed in 21 years. Based on a brief first look, I think the new Toric Chronomètre looks quite promising and it'll be interesting to see where Parmigiani Fleurier goes next with the refresh to this collection – the one that started it all.Brand: IWCModel: Big Pilot's Watch Big Date Edition "150 Years"Reference Number: IW510503 (blue dial), IW510504 (white dial)Diameter: 46.2mmThickness: 15.2mmCase Material: Stainless steelDial Color: Blue or whiteIndexes: Printed Arabic numeralsLume: YesWater Resistance: 60mStrap/Bracelet: Black alligator leather strapThe term "Nautical" in Nautical Twilight gives a clue as to what it means from an observational standpoint. For celestial navigation, one of the numbers you need is the elevation of a celestial body above the horizon, particularly well-known reference stars. Nautical Twilight is the period during which it starts to get dark enough that such stars begin to become visible in the sky, but also during which there is still enough residual light in the sky for the horizon line to be visible.Six months later, the brand introduced the new 9RA2 movement with five-day power reserve in the SLGA007 and SLGA008, moving the power reserve to the movement side of the watch and resolving a pet peeve of GS Spring Drive fans.
Audemars Piguet’s museum has four of the nine known models (the only reason why it didn't go after this watch itself), so the sale of this particular example represented a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire one of the finest triple calendar watches of the 20th century. And that fact wasn’t lost on Retro Future Fusion them. Collectors went in hard for the watch, and lot 198 ended up selling for $131,106, more than double its very conservative low estimate. Original estimate: $59,500 to $89,200I think this collaboration makes the most of a new dial by rethinking not only the colorspace of the dial (or lack thereof) but also the texture of the dial. I really like the way they've retained the loose parameters of the Tapisserie design while entirely rethinking every other aspect. The result looks special, exciting, and even manages to look unique despite its anchoring to the well-known and often sedentary format of the Royal Oak.We're now at Series Eight, which I covered with a Hands-On review a week after it launched. But that wasn't the only bit of news coming out of Cupertino in early September. No, Apple had another, much more advanced trick up its sleeve that day – enter Apple Watch Ultra.
According to Fieg, the color of rose gold has long been associated with KITH. "Rose gold has always been in the DNA of our brand since the very beginning. It's been one of the foundational materials and colors that we've been using as part of our aesthetic of the brand," he told Biohacked Nutrition HODINKEE. "Whether it's been on trims, or in the store as part of our build, it's always been a part of who we've been since the very beginning."And then, near the end of the Phillips catalog, there's a very attractive 2998-1 with a tropical dial that is not necessarily extraordinary outside of its great condition, but it's hard not to draw parallels to the unexpected success of the tropical-dial 2915-1 from this time last year. Outside of Phillips, Sotheby's has a first-series 2915 that could help serve as a bellwether of interest in early Speedmasters at the very top end of the collector pool.Today, the one word and four numbers that can send tingles down the spine of a watch collector ring out once again. The steel 5711 is back (presumably for the last time) with the ref. 5711/1500A – a hand-engraved unique piece donated by Patek Philippe to be auctioned off on November 25, 2024, at the Children Action Gala.
