2019 Tudor Black Bay Bronze 7925BM 43mm, extra Rubber B strap. $3,780.00 CAD. 505-00612

Building on the popularity of Tudor’s Heritage Black Bay series comes the Black Bay Bronze. It made its debut is 2016 and was a huge hit. We’ve had many stainless steel Black Bay models over the years but only a few Bronze examples have shown up in our estate department and this is a good one. Originally delivered to a Canadian authorized agent in March 2019 and still in perfect condition, looking unworn, except for some natural oxidation. There are no dings or scratches anywhere on the case, bezel, or on the lab-grown sapphire domed crystal. The OEM distressed brown leather strap is in lightly worn condition as is the original golden brown NATO strap and buckle. The olive green rubber strap is from aftermarket manufacturer Rubber B and pairs beautifully with the oxidized bronze case and brown dial. Rubber B offer high quality strap options for many luxury watches that fit perfectly and often use the original buckles, giving your watch a unique look appearing like it came from the factory that way. The green Rubber B strap can be seen on their website with a retail price of $240.00. The watch is powered by Tudor’s in house developed MT5601 chronometer rated movement with close to 3 days of power reserve. The soft hue of the bronze case is like nothing else on the market; leave it to Tudor to try something as bold as this. The matte brown with rose-gold tone hands, markers, and text gives the watch a look unlike anything else in your collection. A retro looking burnt orange sixty minute one way timer bezel is a necessity for any diver watch. It turns easily and indexes 60 times per full rotation with a satisfying audible ratcheting clicks. In the dark or low light situations the luminous hands and hour markers glow effectively. Extra straps, inner/outer boxes, endorsed warranty card, and the original bill hang tag showing the original price in 2019 of $4,320.00 CAD. Like new condition and comes with our no charge 1-year warranty. Bronze Tudors are scarce and the brown dial 43mm is no longer being produced. A similar slate dial version (M79250BA) on black leather strap is the closest current offering from Tudor with a $6,060.00 retail price. We don’t expect this one will last too long at the estate price of $3,780.00 CAD. Stock #505-00612.

2024 platinum 1 ounce 9995 Maple Leaf Canadian $50.00 coin spot plus 5% (no sales tax). 912-00810

We almost never see platinum in bullion form, and even in jewellery platinum it is scarce. Just how rare this precious metal is can be debated but it is thought to be around 20-30 times more rare than gold, at least in terms of actual platinum that has been mined and recovered. All the platinum mined throughout history would only make cube of only around 23 feet per side. From our own experience we can confidently say at least 100 ounces of gold compared to every ounce of platinum that comes through our estate department. Ten years after Canada introduced the world’s first 999 pure gold coin, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced its 9995 one ounce platinum coin in 1988. Canadian platinum coins are far more rare compared to the gold versions, these coins are minted in numbers lower than 20,000 per year compared to over 1,000,000 for the gold coins in high production years. No platinum coins were produced at all from 2000 to 2008. Platinum is far more rare than gold and silver, it’s also more dense. Compared to a 1 ounce pure silver coin the 1 ounce platinum coin occupies far less space. Historically speaking platinum has been much more expensive than gold (sometimes double the price). For the last few years platinum has been trading for a big discount relative to gold. This coin is a true rarity for us, one we’re not likely to encounter again for some time. We recycle hundreds of ounces of silver and gold every year adding far more precious metal back into the system than we use in finished jewellery. In more than 7 decades of precious metal recycling we’ve only refined our scrap platinum bits and pieces twice. Only twice in over 70 years have we had enough of this rare grey/white metal to refine. We have many clients who like to purchase gold and silver bullion, but for the real precious metal connoisseur there is nothing like platinum. First come first serve for this one. Priced at spot platinum price plus 5% and no sales tax. For an up to the minute price of platinum click here. Please add 2% service fee for credit card  purchases. Stock #912-00810.

Breitling Galactic 41mm big date A49350 $3,200.00 CAD. 515-00111.

They don’t come more competent than a modern Breitling diver watch. All the high end diver features are here in a slightly dressier package. Lab-grown sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, threaded crown with guards, one way 60 minute ratcheting bezel timer, watertight to 1,000 feet, fold over clasp with safety lock, and a high accuracy automatic winding movement. The watch measures 41mm diameter; the same size as a modern a Rolex Submariner. Large but not so big that it can’t be comfortably worn by most men. Its beautiful black slate dial is a miniature work of art. Flat finish paint with an inner parallel grooved square are the first things you notice. Upon further inspection you see the large date aperture with beveled edges pin striped with a white/black frame. Highly polished applied logo, silver hour markers with mitered edges mirror the inner square pattern and are tipped with luminous material for easy viewing in the dark. Perfect white and red Arabic text let you know this is an automatic Breitling officially certified chronometer. As with many Breitling models the entire watch has been treated to a highly polished finish adding to its dressier more luxury focused personality. The 21 jewel Breitling calibre 49 (modified ETA 2896) is working well and keeping great time. The large dual disc calendar offers some extra utility with better legibility for mature eyes. Excellent overall condition showing only minor evidence of use, the bracelet shows no stretch, sag, or worn edges. We believe the watch has never been polished or refinished before. It you’d like the minor scuffs and scratches removed, one of our talented goldsmiths can remove the minor blemishes for you in only a few minutes. The watch is missing two of the adjustable links; if you have a larger wrist we may need to order a link or two for you. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is pleased to include a one year warranty for the estate price of $3,200.00 CAD. Stock number 515-00111.

They say “dollar cost averaging” is the best way to invest for the long term. Doing such avoids buying at the highs and lows, avoiding the volatility makes sure you’ve never paid too much.

Tag Heuer AquaRacer mother of pearl/diamond dial 32.5mm WAF1320, $1,800.00 CAD. 520-00165

Some of Tag Heuer’s AquaRacer models have evolved into very attractive “jewellery” watches over recent years. They were first introduced as a continuation of the very successful 2000 series in 2004. Every Aquaracer provides a rugged platform with serious sporting features. Don’t let the dramatic iridescent mother-of-pearl diamond dial fool you. This watch is still made with the right stuff, able to stand up to any task asked of it. Water resistant to 300 meters, synthetic sapphire crystal, threaded crown/case back, luminous hands, solid link stainless steel locking bracelet, and ratcheting timer bezel are the same features offered by the pure tool design AquaRacer models. The beautiful mother-of-pearl dial adds a sophisticated detail that is quite striking against the combination of brushed stainless steel and gold plated trim. 10 high quality round brilliant cut diamonds add some sparkle and a luxury touch. It displays some scratches and scuffs mostly visible on the buckle cover, the bracelet and case show only minor blemishes, nothing significant. The heavy gold plating is fully intact on the bracelet, but bezels studs are beginning to show some stainless steel showing on the sharp edges. The lab-grown sapphire crystal is perfect, offering flawless optics and viewing of the iridescent mother-of-pearl dial. At 32.5mm in case diameter, model WAF1320 is easy to read but not too big or bulky. Tag Heuer still makes a contemporary version of this watch for $5,300.00 which can be seen on their website. The previous owner had a smaller wrist; if you have a larger wrist we may need to order you an extra link or two. This is a great looking watch ready for whatever you can throw at it. It does not come with any original packaging or documents. Including a complimentary 1-year warranty this estate Tag Heuer is priced at $1,800.00 CAD. Stock #520-00165.
