Off-catalogue Rolex Cosmograph Daytona creations—led by the Everose Rainbow Ref. 116595RBOW, Yellow Gold Rainbow Ref. 116598RBOW, and Eye of the Tiger Ref. 116588TBR—combine solid 18K gold (Au750) cases with 36 trapeze-cut baguette sapphires or diamonds channel-set to 0.01 mm optical color and alignment tolerances.
Richard Mille private treaty lots combine tripartite curved tonneau cases—milled from solid 18K 5N red gold (Au750), synthetic monobloc corundum sapphire (1,800 HV hardness), or North Thin Ply Technology (NTPT) carbon—with grade-5 titanium skeletonized tourbillon and automatic calibres weighing between 68.5g and 164.0g.
Crafted in solid 18K pink gold (Au750), the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked Ref. 15407OR.OO.1220OR.01 (198.5g) and the 41mm Selfwinding Flyback Chronograph Ref. 26240OR.OO.1320OR.01 (226.4g) represent the pinnacle of Le Brassus octagonal case geometry, hand-polished anglage, and integrated bracelet finishing.
A Private Treaty horological acquisition is a confidential, direct-from-vault transaction that eliminates the 25%–27% public auction house buyer's premium and protects the collector through a mandatory 4-stage verification protocol: wrist sizing, personalized 4K Mettler-Toledo + Fischer XRF + Witschi video sign-off, escrow settlement, and insured armored delivery.
Every lot catalogued by 18K VIP is verified on a calibrated Mettler-Toledo laboratory scale and Fischer XRF spectrometer on 4K video prior to private treaty allocation and insured armored delivery.
