Six Stylish Cars and Watches for the Discerning Collector

• 

   

  1993 Bugatti EB 110 Super Sport Prototype. Estimate €850,000–1,100,000.
  
  Hautlence, A large titanium jumping hour wristwatch with retrograde minutes, No 32/88 circa 2010.
  
  Bugatti produced just 139 total examples of the quad-turbo 3.5-litre V-12 EB110, and only 36 examples of a later variant called the EB110 Super Sport , boasting even more performance with a top speed of 216 mph. The car offered here, chassis no. PCD39006, is a factory prototype of the Super Sports variant and is, consequently, an ultra-rare and hugely significant automobile fit for any Bugatti connoisseur. Having a similar design ethos to the Bugatti EB 110, the Hautlence has a reputation amongst enthusiasts for developing new solutions and ways to read the time using the traditional heritage of Swiss watchmaking.

  2017 Bugatti Chiron. Estimate €3,200,000–3,600,000.
  
  Audemars Piguet, An oversized limited edition alacrite and titanium tourbillon wristwatch with power reserve, dynamographe and function selector, CW1 Royal Oak Concept, circa 2004.
  
  The Chiron , without question, is the most technologically advanced road-going car ever built. Like its predecessor the Veyron, it is powered by an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W-16 engine, though the vast majority of its components are all new. This particular Chiron, beautifully finished in two-tone Atlantic Blue over French Racing Blue livery, was delivered in April 2017, making it one of the first 20 Chirons to be delivered worldwide. Sharing the vision of excellence that inspired the Bugatti Chiron, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept still represents the quintessence of the finest mechanical research and advanced horological technology.

  2005 Maserati MC12. Estimate €2,000,000–2,500,000. Offered without reserve.
  
  Patek Philippe, A white gold automatic wristwatch with enamel dial depicting Portuguese Azulejos tiles, Ref 5089 circa 2017.
  
  The Maserati MC12 and this extremely rare Patek Philippe both impress with the highest quality of both visible and invisible details. With its design penned by Frank Stephenson, the MC12’s beautiful coachwork laid over the Enzo’s mechanicals gave the car its very own personality and charisma. With only 50 examples produced, the MC12 is without question the rarest and most desirable modern Maserati produced.

  2014 McLaren P1. Estimate €1,700,000–2,000,000. 
  
  Hublot, A pink gold and ceramic automatic world time wristwatch, King Power, circa 2015.
  
  Viewed as the promising upstart in comparison to the hypercar establishment of Ferrari and Porsche, McLaren entered the hybrid–hypercar fray in 2013 with its new P1. Standing tall against the LaFerrari and the 918, the McLaren P1 proved to be an excellent halo-car for McLaren, and remains an exceptional hypercar in its own right. As with the McLaren P1, this watch combines sporty elegance with the quest for mechanical perfection.

  1992 Ferrari F40. Estimate €850,000–950,000. Offered without reserve.
  
  Hublot, A limited edition black carbon automatic chronograph wristwatch with date, No 138/500 Big Bang Ferrari, circa 2016.
  
  Truly one of the most iconic cars of its era, the F40 took not only Ferrari, but the automotive industry in general into the next stratosphere in terms of performance, setting the gold standard of which all other supercars would be measured for years to come. Inspired by and featuring Ferrari’s emblematic prancing horse, this charismatic Hublot wristwatch astounds with its proportions and bold look.

  2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. Estimate €300,000–360,000.
  
  Patek Philippe, A yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with register, Ref 5070 circa 1999.
  
  In 2007, Mercedes-Benz added even more drama into the SLR by introducing the SLR McLaren Roadster . Whilst the roof was removed, the ‘swing-wing’ doors remained, hinged to the A-pillars rather than the roof itself. With a top speed of over 300 km/h, at its time, this was one of the fastest and most exciting convertibles money could buy. As with the Mercedes-Benz SLR Roadster, this watch has a strong and elegant presence and has been considered, since its introduction in 1998, one of the finest models in its category.
