Baraka 18 karat gold and rubber bracelet, 7″, 12.7 grams. Diamond clasp. $1,890.00 CAD. 441-00389
Who would have ever thought that precious 18 karat gold could be paired with rubber to make luxury jewellery. High end Swiss watch brands have been doing just that for many years. Even some well know jewellery brands like Cartier, Chopard, Saro, Bvlgari, Van Cleef & Arpels have been known to use rubber components in their designs. Baraka in an Italian manufacturer who aren’t afraid to blend premium 18 karat gold with innovative materials like ceramic, 316L stainless steel with high tech PVD coatings. Italy has always been the design capital of the world for many industries. The Baraka website showcases some very edgy and fashionable designs are in keeping with the Italian tradition for pushing the style envelope.
Baraka designs showcase complicated manufacturing techniques and beautifully engineered proprietary components like the patented clasp on our latest bracelet. The clasp showcases a small diamond in the release trigger. This clasp is made up from no less than 13 separate parts all working together forming a beautiful esthetic with incredible security, far better than your typical spring loaded clasp. Almost every spring loaded clasp uses steel to supply resistance for the closing mechanism. Baraka have used a 7 sided flat piece of white gold sheet that has been annealed to make harder and to supply spring resistance.
This section is secured by 4 heavy rivets into a frame. Rivets are used because soldering the pieces together would fuse the parts and soften the metal. An interference trigger (also rivetted) with a small diamond forms the close/release trigger. It take a strong fingernail and significant force to open and close this clever clasp.
Functional and attractive, this is the focal point of the bracelet, not something you’d want the hide on the backside of your wrist. The two other hinged sections have been crafted with complicated joints using multiple parts made from 18 karat white and rose gold. 
This bracelet measures just 7 inches in overall length, so it would be most suited to a lady’s wrist or slender gentleman. The bracelet weighs 12.7 grams including the three rubber sections. We feel the net weight of just the 18 karat parts of this bracelet weight around 10 grams. It is in original condition and never been polished. The gold sections display some minor scratches to the rose gold and white rhodium finish the top but the inside edges are almost perfect.
This rare Baraka piece is estate priced at $1,890.00 CAD. Stock #441-00389.

2022 Rolex Datejust 36 126234 18kt. fluted bezel $11,888.00 CAD. 505-00302
It may look like a familiar watch but it’s actually pretty new. Well, perhaps it is not completely new but rather an evolution of the most popular watch in the world. Much like the width of a gentleman’s tie or the length of a lady’s skirt, watch dimensions ebb and flow. This generation of the classic 36mm Datejust debuted in 2018 with narrower lugs and slight tweaks to the case, dial, and bezel. It follows the traditional balanced look of the original 1945 Datejust.
A more significant change can be found inside the 100m watertight Oyster case. The old calibre 3135 has been replaced with the all-new calibre 3235. A new movement isn’t something that happens very often for Rolex, the 3135 saw duty in many Rolex watches from 1988 until 2019. The new movement isn’t an evolution of the 3135 as over 90% of the parts are redesigned or different. The 3235 features a completely new type of escapement (the heart of a movement), a modified barrel design that allows for a longer mainspring for an extended power reserve, a new winding module to increase efficiency, and tighter accuracy tolerances. In keeping with the Rolex philosophy of “in-house” manufacture, they have improved gear train efficiency by developing their own proprietary lubricants. Even though the movement is rarely seen and only by qualified watchmakers, they have even refined the aesthetic finishes on the mechanism. All these improvements ultimately provide the wearer with an extremely accurate, dependable, robust timepiece with an extra long 70-hour power reserve. They have even tightened up the accuracy tolerances to a claimed plus or minus 2 seconds per day. This Datejust was been carefully worn by its previous owner in rotation with a few other watches in their collection. It displays minor scuffs and scratches mostly confined to the highly polished centre links and the buckle.
These minor blemishes can easy be removed by one of our goldsmiths in just a few hours if you wish. This Datejust features the upgraded 18 karat white gold fluted bezel. The Sunburst navy blue dial is equipped with highly luminous hands and hour markers.
The radial finish dial with the Oyster bracelet offers a slightly sportier look compared to the Jubilee style bracelet. Hidden under the embossed buckle is a clever extension that allows a 5mm length adjustment without the need for any tools, on days when a bit of extra room is more comfortable.
At 36mm this watch is perfect for the lady who likes something a little larger but not a cartoon on her wrist, or the gentleman who doesn’t like the bulk of a 40mm Professional model. The watch comes with everything as delivered from the original authorized Rolex agent. Full documents, booklets, endorsed warranty card, inner/outer boxes, hangtags, foam box liner, white cardboard protective box sleeve, and even a Rolex shopping bag. The next owner will benefit from the 5-year international Rolex warranty until the fall of 2027.
While not as difficult to find as a Daytona or Submariner, stainless steel, fluted bezel, blue dial Datejust is not a watch often seen in the showcase of your local Rolex agent. This very good condition estate Rolex is estate priced at $11,888.00 CAD. Stock #505-00302.

3.00 carat garnet & diamond pendant with chain, 2.9gr., 18″. $385.00 CAD. 231-00381
Natural garnets can be one of the most spectacular looking coloured stones available. They are available in a wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes. The traditional dark slightly brownish red hues are one of the most affordable varieties and showcase a colour similar to a fine red wine.
They have a high refractive index and excellent reflective properties giving them a lot of sparkle. The garnet is surrounded by a thin halo frame that is bead set with 16 tiny round natural diamonds. This is a delicate double gallery design but more than sturdy enough for everyday wear.
It is suspended from a light weight 10 karat cable link necklace measuring 18 inches in length with a spring ring clasp. The total weight of the chain and pendant is 2.9 grams. The pendant and necklace are in new condition and look like they have never been worn.

2022 Rolex Submariner 124060 41mm full kit $15,675.00 CAD. Stock #505-00594
The original Submariner was produced with one task in mind and one task only, accurate, reliable timekeeping, in an underwater environment. It debuted in 1953 with a water resistance rating of a modest 100 meters. It featured large luminous hands and hour markers coated in highly radioactive radium. Radium was used only until around 1962 when Rolex started using far less radioactive substance called tritium to illuminate the hands and markers.
In 1999 tritium was replaced with non radioactive luminova. Fast forward 7 decades since the original debuted and the basic design is the same, but this one won’t be setting off any Geiger counters. The inert bluish/green phosphorescent glow of Rolex’ latest luminous material is a proprietary concoction they call cerachrom. 
Our latest estate Submariner is the entry level model 124060. This is the version that is the closest in spirit to the original design that also lacked a calendar display (the first calendar equipped Submariner didn’t appear until 1969). The simplicity and perfect balance of the basic Sub has been its biggest selling point.
This is the newest version featuring a slightly larger 41mm case, thinner lugs, and a 1mm wider bracelet compared to the previous model. A threaded crown/case back, improved materials and manufacturing techniques have increased water resistance to 300 meters. The “no date” Sub has always been the purest of design but has never been the most popular. By our estimates Submariners with a date outsell the no date models by around 3 to 1, making these a little more rare. Ironically this example was traded in for a calendar equipped model from a customer who wanted the extra utility of a date display. This watch is in 100% original condition showing minor wear from a couple years of casual use.
It has never been polished or refinished, still displaying a couple protective delivery stickers on the last bracelet link and inside the buckle.
It was originally purchased in Canada from an authorized Rolex agent and comes with all the tags, documents, endorsed warranty card, and even a copy of the original bill of sale. The watch also comes with a brown Rolex travel pouch that has never been used. This gift with purchase is an accessory we’ve never seen before.
The Rolex 5-year international warranty will protect the next owner until August of 2027.
All Submariner models are in high demand and agents rarely have even a single example on display that is for sale. Contemporary Rolex Submariners typically don’t last very long around here. This complete example is in excellent condition and estate priced at $15,675.00 CAD. Stock #505-00594.

10 karat, 3.5mm wide herring bone necklace, 16″, 8.8 grams, $700.00 CAD. 431-00735
Some jewellery styles just age better than others. The 80s had more than their fair share of fashion flops when it came to jewellery design, but the herringbone necklace wasn’t one of them. These flattened link classics are still popular with our customers looking for vintage estate jewellery. In fact they sell so well we can’t understand why they are no longer being produced. This one is a survivor and remains in excellent condition showing no areas of stress or kinks. It measures a significant 3.5mm wide and is quite thick at 0.7mm.
When these are made too thin they can easily kink and invisibly repairing them is next to impossible for even a very skilled goldsmith. The shorter length of 16 inches, heavier gauge, and slightly harder 10 karat construction should help protect this example from damage caused by creasing. These herringbone necklaces look almost like a seamless ribbon of gold that contours to the neckline. The flat surface with beveled edges catch the light better than almost any other chain style.
It is secured by an easy to operate good sized lobster clasp. This necklace is in excellent condition showing no wear. It is estate priced at $700.00 CAD. Stock #431-00735.
