 Dear watch aficionado.

Available at my boutique www.watchcollector.lu is this superb Audemars Piguet 5402ST A-series:

Audemars Piguet A-series

Full spec

​When it comes to watches that every high class collector should have in its collection then the legendary Patek Philippe 3700/1 and Audemars Piguet 5402ST-A Series are usually on the list too.

Both are designed by Gerald Genta, the 5402-A in 1972 and the 3700/1 in 1976. The case designs show both an octagon form, which is still present on the modern versions of these two references. But for me, the epitome is always the beginning, the first ones, the 5402-A and 3700/1.

One of the most interesting design parts on the two watches is the dial. The design was developed by Cadran Stern, Roland Tille who was back then the master developer at cadran stern. Gérald Genta approached Roland Tille in 1972 to develope a design for the dial of the Audemars Piguet 5402ST. Roland Tille then used the newly developed method of "tapisserie" to create 13 examples of different designs and Audemars chose the one design that is still in the DNA of the Royal Oak today. The A-series has a tapisserie finissage, black galvanic dial with a protective layer of lacquer on it.

The idea to create this design with the technique of "tapisserie" originates of a dial that Roland Tille created in 1971 for Movado, their St. Christopher model. As Roland Tille said, the design of this dial for Movado resulted in the development of the "tapisserie" technique and so into the legendary design of the 5402ST and 3700/1 dial design!

This A-series is certainly a great addition for every high-class collector. It comes as full spec with its original bracelet, clasp, "AP" links, original crown, a superbly preserved dial and a strong case.

Available at my boutique -----> Patek Philippe 2584, Stern black épargne dial, only 2 known

 Dear watch aficionado.

Available at my boutique www.watchcollector.lu is this beautiful Patek Philippe 2584 with a superb black épargne dial by Cadran Stern:

Patek Philippe 2584

12-600AT movement, 36mm case, NOS

Only 2 known with black épargne dial!

​To find one of these reference 2584 in NOS condition is almost impossible and in combination with black épargne dial by Cadran Stern it is a really rare timepiece. The reference 2584 is powered by the legendary 12-600AT movement and comes in a case of 36mm.

The present example is simply amazing. Only 2 yellow gold with black épargne dial watches do exist and this is the only one in truly NOS condition, as you can see from the images. A spectacular watch  The dial is made by Cadran Stern with the complicated "épargne" technique, which means that first the base plate is gilted, then the signature, minuterie and small seconds are protected by a special lacquer, after that the dial is colored in a black galvanique bath. After the black color has dried, the protective lacquer is taken off. Later the hour baton indexes and the 12 o'clock indexes are added.

​

This timepiece is certainly a connoisseur’s choice and a great addition to every high-class watch collection.​
