2023 Rolex Oyster 34 124200 uncommon pink dial $9,500.00 CAD. 505-00614

There is more to colour than just the basic spectral hue (red, blue, yellow etc.). There are two additional components to consider. Tone refers how dark or light the colour as and saturation describes how intense the colour is. Rolex have an amazing command of colours; they know just how much of each characteristic to apply when deciding on what their fancy dials look like. To call this just a pink dial does it no justice. It has very little saturation with a light tone. Add to that the classic “sunburst” finish giving this pink champagne dial a life of its own that is hard to put into words and needs to be seen in person. The sunburst finish rolls around the dial as the watch is moved causing more or less tone radiating from the centre. Rolex is careful and cautious when producing dials other than white, black, or silver for stainless steel watches. They never seem to manufacture too many of the more exotic hues. Even when there is huge demand for these fancy colours, they’re always rare and always a treat when one shows up in our estate department. We’ve only hand a handful of pink dial Rolex pass through here and this is the first 124200 Oyster 34 we’ve ever had. We estimate this particular colour is seen on less than 10% of production despite the high demand. This isn’t a colour you’re likely to see at any Rolex boutique. The raised 18 karat white gold luminous hour markers and hands are the classic rectangular shape. The watch was purchased new in the Summer of 2023 and has been carefully worn by a Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers customer in rotation with watches in her collection. It comes complete with everything delivered from the authorized agent, including the inner/outer box, endorsed warranty card, instructions, and hanging bracelet tags. The uncluttered functional dial with smooth bezel and sporty oyster bracelet make this watch the perfect accessory for an active lifestyle. An adjustable “easylink” allows a 5mm length extension on the bracelet is a handy feature for those hot and humid days. A super scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, threaded twin lock crown, and a screw-on case back allow for a 100-meter water-resistant rating. There are a few minor scuffs, scratches on the case and bracelet but none are distracting. We are happy to report the watch has never been polished or refinished in anyway. The 34mm size is the perfect size for the casual look on a woman’s arm. As per usual, Rolex sizing description isn’t as described; by our digital calipers this watch actually measures 33mm diameter making it a little more comfortable still. This size has proven to be very popular, it’s almost always sold out at Rolex agents and is seldom seen in display cases. Being a 2023 model this watch benefits from the Rolex 5-year international warranty good until the summer of 2028. Estate priced at $9,500.00 CAD. Stock #505-00614.

Gabriel & Co. 2.10ct. pink tourmaline & diamond (0.55ct. VS-GH), sz. 5, 4.7gr., 14kt. $2,350.00 CAD. 206-00614

Add a little colour to your life with this Gabriel & Company pink tourmaline and diamond ring. G & Co. are a very popular luxury jewellery brand who make beautiful engagement/wedding rings plus other jewellery items. This dinner ring features a very saturated fuchsia rubellite (pink tourmaline). The faceted oval gem measures approximately 9mm x 7mm and is estimated to weigh 2.10 carats. Vivid colour and excellent clarity really make this one dance with brilliance. The major source of high quality Rubellite is Brazil, but it can also be found in Madagascar, Africa, and even the United States. The contemporary halo design contains 70 small round brilliant cut natural and pear shaped diamonds of very nice VS-GH quality. The small diamonds add an estimated 0.55 carats of sparkle to this contemporary design. The low profile setting and three section shank make this a very comfortable ring. The inside of the back section has been decorated with a wire lattice adding an extra level of comfort, detail and easy cleaning. We couldn’t find this exact ring on the Gabriel & Co. website, but we found a similar style in yellow gold that cost $6,700.00 CAD (without a centre stone). Our ring measures a rather smallish finger size 4 1/2 but it can be adjusted up a size or two if needed. It is in excellent condition showing almost no use. Just some rhodium wear on the bottom of the shank is your only clue this ring has ever been worn. In our traditional blue presentation box this beautiful ring is estate priced at only $2,350.00 CAD. Stock #206-00614.

Tudor Fast Rider Black Shield 42000CN 42mm ceramic chronograph $3,200.00 CAD. 505-00580

Tudor’s affiliation with Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati goes back to 2011 with the introduction of the first Fastrider chronograph made from stainless steel. Fast forward a few years later to the Black Shield version with a case made from super hard ceramic and a stealthy blackout dial. The edgy look is a big departure for a conservative brand like Tudor. What is conservative about the Ducati collaboration, is the fact this watch does not display Ducati anywhere on the dial or case back. The only connection is a subtle application of Ducati’s shield shaped logo (not dissimilar to the Tudor shield logo) found on the side of the case at 9:00 o’clock. The shield shape application frames the date corrector pusher. Rather than spinning the hands forward through 24 hours, you can advance the date quickly by pushing the tiny recessed button with the tip of a pen or similar tool. Tudor decided this would be a clever place for the Ducati connection and also concealing the unusual date correction feature. The ETA /Valjoux 7753 based chronograph movement predates Tudor’s adoption of the their modified Breitling B01 chronometer chronograph powering contemporary Tudor chronograph models with the traditional quick-set date feature. This is an uncommon and unusual watch, it is the first one to pass through our estate department. While the case is made from ceramic, the pushers, crown, Ducati shield, and deployment buckle have been crafted in black PVD (physical vapor deposition) stainless steel that is cost effective but nowhere near a hard as ceramic; as such these components can show scratches and wear over time. The curiosities continue with the elongated shield shaped hour markers finished in a golden/brown sand finish along with matching hands. This watch also displays the Tudor brand name on an applied horizontal bar, this is something we haven’t seen before. Like the Rolex Daytona and other sporting chronographs, the Fastrider is equipped with a tachymetre bezel scale for measuring units per hour. Fitted to the 42mm ceramic case is a very soft black rubber strap with signed blackened stainless steel deployment buckle. The previous owner swapped out the black rubber with a light brown suede leather strap for a different look from time to time. This extra strap is included with purchase. The watch is very good condition and running well. Including a complimentary 1-year warranty the watch is estate priced at $3,200.00 CAD. Stock #505-00580.

1-inch engraved hoop earrings, 4.6mm wide, 2.2 grams, 14 karat gold. $392.00 CAD. 426-00342

These almost went into our showcase without being showcased online, until we noticed the extra bright-cut engraving on the inside. There are many items that come and go with regularity but never get the online exposure they deserve. Sometimes only our local walk-in customers find the little hidden treasures in our estate department. These are hollow construction but heavy enough gauge to be engraved with the leaf/vine design. The engraving shows up very well against the brushed finish. Hollow yes but also sturdy, the seamless tubing earrings weigh a combined 2.28 grams. Heavy enough to provide good durability but light enough to be very comfortable. They measure approximately 1 inch in diameter, 4.6mm wide and are secured by riveted wire and friction lock. Crafted from upgraded 14 karat. We love how the engraved pattern on the rounded outside profile is mirrored on the flat inner contour. As obvious as this is, we almost never see the inside of a hoop earring decorated like this. They are in perfect condition and estate priced at $392.00 CAD. 426-00342.

Tag Heuer Carrara Twin-Time GMT 35.6mm WS2113 $2,300.00 CAD. 520-00149

Classic Carrera good looks that go back to the mid 1960s when the name first appeared on some of Heuer’s sporting chronograph equipped watches. 60 years later the same case design is still available as displayed by this more modern model but with the uncommon vintage looking Arabic dial. The Tag Heuer WS2113 adds a useful feature in addition to the basic time and calendar functions. From the Twin-Time name you may be able to guess. This watch offers a second time zone (or GMT/Greenwich Mean Time) displayed in 24 hour format by the long slender arrow tipped hand. This extra hour hand is perfect for the world traveller who wants to keep track of his home time too. For someone who wants local time displayed in a 24 format the hand can be coordinated to show a single time zone. The highly polished 35.6mm case is in very good condition except for a couple dings showing up on the sharp edges of the lugs. These are shallow impact marks that could easily be removed but we’d prefer to keep the watch in its original condition. The automatic movement is working well keeping good time. A never worn 18mm black leather Hirsch strap utilizes the original Heuer signed stainless steel buckle. This watch does a great job as a homage to the early Carrera models as it is only signed Heuer and not Tag Heuer. Early Carrera chronograph models are quite collectable among watch collectors with excellent chronograph examples trading hands for close to $10,000.00. While this watch is not worth anywhere close to that it should do okay in the future with its traditional good looks, dual time capability, and the quite uncommon black Arabic dial. After we took all these photos we noticed a small crack in the domed plastic crystal edge at 6:00 o’clock. We have since replaced the crystal with an original. Including Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers 1 year warranty the watch is estate priced at $2,300.00 CAD. Stock #520-00149.
