RETROFUTURE WATCH AND JEWELRY AUCTION
tue 14 July 2026
RETROFUTURE celebrates the harmonious union of modernity and classicism—a ceaseless dialogue in which innovation marries tradition. In this selection, the craftsmanship of the past seems reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, enriched by the precious patina of time: a one-of-a-kind quality that lends each piece absolute uniqueness. Rare dials, refined materials, and avant-garde geometries coexist with the most classic formal elegance, striking a perfect balance between technical precision and style.
The catalog outlines a diverse auction program, yet one guided by a distinct and consistent stylistic vision, capable of captivating and uniting the most discerning connoisseurs of fine jewelry and watchmaking. Among the most significant lots are extraordinary timepieces, starting with a superb collection of Patek Philippe Calatrava watches. Among these, a historic Caliber 96 with a steel case and rose gold applied hour markers stands out for its absolute rarity: a configuration of extraordinary and exceptional rarity, officially confirmed by the Archive Extract.
Further enriching the Geneva-based Maison’s offering is a refined selection of models featuring intricately crafted cases—artisanal details that are now at the pinnacle of international collectors’ desires. This legendary timepiece is celebrated through a major retrospective on the Rolex Submariner, which traces its entire historical evolution: from the rare early models, lacking crown guards, to the neo-modern variations. Also from Rolex, the rare Day-Date reference 1806 models stand out for their textural appeal, enhanced by sophisticated Florentine engraving.
The RETROFUTURE universe extends beyond timepieces, unveiling a superb selection of fine jewelry. The auction boasts a refined selection of colored gemstones, distinguished by sizes and carats that are extraordinarily difficult to find on the market and strictly untreated.
Among the most notable lots are bracelets with unique designs, the result of incredibly skilful goldsmithing and set with precious gemstones, alongside brooches of rare beauty featuring entirely unusual floral and figurative motifs: true works of art that combine intrinsic value, elegance and a strong personality.
A collection crafted with meticulous attention to detail, designed for discerning collectors, enthusiasts and anyone seeking pieces capable of standing the test of time whilst retaining their charm. Browse the catalogue to discover our selection.
