Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of visiting Omega’s renovated museum space across the street from the brand’s headquarters in Biel, Switzerland. Omega has a history that stretches back to 1848 and the museum tells the story of one generation to the next with great pride and impeccable curation. With a brand that conjures images of James Bond, Astronauts and the Olympics, it’s easy to overlook its modest founder and historic manufacturing abilities. The museum handles the task well though, devoting space and attention to each chapter in the company’s evolution.  In the museum you will see some of the most important Omegas ever made – the watches that made it into outerspace, those that were part of the Alaska project, those that were issued by the British military, and even a few from COMEX. 

The fun doesn’t end there, so if you want to see some really special Omegas, read on.

In the coming week of big sales from Antiquorum, Sothebys, and Christie’s, this is perhaps this watch that has garnered the most attention.  It is not the watch with the highest estimate – that title belongs to the platinum Patek 1579 we showed you here.  The thing is, vintage watches are all about discovery, and new truths are being uncovered all the time.

For instance, it was commonly held that Patek Philippe’s seminal perpetual calendar reference 3448 was primarily housed in yellow gold, with a few examples in white gold, and one or two in platinum.  There was a rumor going around in Patek circles that two examples of the 3448 was made in rose gold, but it was dismissed as hearsay.

Until Christie’s found this watch in the dark corners of a collector’s safe. 

What we have here is a Patek Philippe Reference 3448 self-winding perpetual calendar in red gold, the only example ever to be found in the world.  On top of the rarity, this watch is in completely original condition and even comes with the original presentation box and certificate.  Add to this is an original signature by Freccero, in itself a valuable trait on a watch such as this, and you have one very serious timepiece.

Pre-sale estimates are $ 553,905 – $ 1,107,809 (500,000CHF – 1,000,000CHF) and we have no doubt the bidding on what is undoubtedly the first and possibly the only Patek 3448 to be made in red gold will be fast and furious.  For more details from Christie’s, click here.

Did You Know? The Patek Philippe Ref 3448 was the world’s first automatic perpetual calendar.

Over a year ago we visited the home of Audemars Piguet and discovered, within their musueum, a collection of Royal Oaks that we, despite our love affiar with the watch, had never seen.  Many of them were prototypes, others very limited editions, but no matter what they were, they all had a story and they all represented a fascinating chapter in one of the most fascinating product lines in watches.

Bet you’ve never seen this before.

You’re looking at the new Vacheron Constantin Boutique Exclusive Historiques 1921 next to the very watch that inspired it, a piece built for an American collector in 1921 (though the original concept dates to 1919).  These original Vacheron drivers watches are incredibly rare, in fact this model with the crown in the 1 o’clock position was only made in 12 examples.  The first three pieces were sent to the Americas and the very first belonged to “Rev S. Parkes Cadman, a prominent clergyman, newspaper writer and pioneer Christian radio broadcaster of the 1920s and 1930s. He was an early advocate of ecumenism and an outspoken opponent of anti-Semitism and racial intolerance.”

The 12 pieces were delivered over ten years, with the last being sold in 1931.  The watch you see above happens to belong to Vacheron Constantin themselves, and when we saw it in the display case at their NY boutique as part of the American Heritage project, we just had to photograph it next to the modern day tribute.  These are two absolutely magnificent timepieces, and you can see just how true to form the new model is. 

Click through for more photos of TWO Vacherons, one dubbed the 1921, the other actually from 1921.
