Featured Rolex Connoisseur Collection Lots in the April 2025 Exclusive Timepieces Auction
An incredibly rare and possibly unique Rolex Day-Date reference 6612B in white gold, with a smooth bezel and diamond-set dial. Published in 100 Superlative Rolex Watches by John Goldberger, this is the only known example of its kind. Its outstanding preservation and unique configuration make it a grail piece for serious collectors.
A highly collectible and extremely rare Rolex Dato-Compax reference 4767 in stainless steel. This pioneering triple calendar chronograph is one of only 30 known examples in steel, making it one of the most sought-after Rolex complicated watches ever produced, being the very first reference of the iconic ‘Jean-Claude Killy’ model line.
A historically significant Rolex Barilotto reference 3525, made famous for Rolex’s WWII initiative of supplying watches to British officers in German POW camps. This example is one of the rarest, featuring a pulsation scale—a configuration believed to exist on only one known watch.
One of the most visually striking Rolex watches ever created, this reference 6098 features an oversized 36mm cloisonné enamel dial depicting a dragon. Crafted by Stern Frères and executed by master enameller Nelly Richard, this masterpiece is believed to be one of only two examples in a large Oyster case.
A remarkably preserved Rolex Bubbleback reference 3172 in stainless steel, featuring rare “cachet” lugs, a black gilt dial, and the coveted Joyeria Riviera retailer signature. The striking Rolex extendible bracelet and rare configuration make this a collector’s dream.
