The watch is powered by the calibre 1300.2

The Patek Philippe reference 5004 is part of the legendary family of Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronographs. It is the successor to the cherished reference 3970 and the reference 2499 before that. The reference 5004 was introduced in circa 1994 and produced until circa 2012.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox E 855 Unpolished

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox reference E 855 is one of my favorite watches of all time. This example dates to mid 1960s. The case measures 37mm in diameter and wears excellent. The case appears to be unpolished. The dial is in pristine condition and this is an exceptional example.

The watch is powered by the calibre 825, the first automatic alarm wristwatch to incorporate the calendar complication. The movement is a bumper-automatic, which means it does not rotate a full 360 degrees. Instead, the oscillating weight will bounce back and forth between two spring sides within the movement.

Along with the Atmos clock and Reversos, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s advancements in alarm timepieces throughout the 20th century are certainly one of the most iconic genres from the Le Sentier manufacturer. Perhaps the quintessential Memovox is the reference E 855 from the 1960s. The reference’s “E” stands for Etanche, which indicates the case is a water-resistant model.

Rolex White Matte Dial Datejust Reference 1601 Unpolished

I absolutely love steel Rolex Datejusts. I recently wrote about them in our blog ‘Don't Sleep On This: The Simple Vintage Rolex Datejust In Steel’. I’m constantly amazed by the quality and differentiations of the dials that Rolex used in vintage Datejusts over the decades. I have found the Rolex Datejust to be one of the most versatile watches a person can have. This 1601 is no exception. The white “matte” dial is incredibly attractive and uncommon. It is also a “sigma dial” featuring the Greek letters flanking Swiss below 6 o’clock. Rolex only used Sigma dials, indicating the hands and hour markers are made of white gold, in the 1970s.
