  Josiah Emery, A rare gold consular case repeating lever watch with stop slide and regulator dial, circa 1788
  Estimate £50,000–80,000

  This watch was until today unknown by scholars and it is one of only three Emery lever escapement watches with repeating known to have survived.

  Rolex, A stainless steel Submariner with explorer dial, circa 1964
  Estimate £30,000–50,000

  The explorer dial Submariners are considered trophies by Rolex collectors. From the family of the original this watch has its original box, paperwork, and advertising pamphlet that came with it at purchase. It therefore encompasses everything that is meant by the term ‘Grail’ watch. With the market as it is today this is an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire a ‘barn find’ example.
