Watch Collecting is rapidly building an international reputation for the sale of rare and hard to find timepieces.
The site debuted in March with the sale of a rice for a blue dialled 2016 Patek-Philippe “double-sealed,” Nautilus 5711 for $113,305 / £82,500.
This week’s star lot, the Patek Philippe 5370P-001 gained international notoriety as the first pure split seconds chronograph made with a wholly in-house movement.
Launched by Patek Philippe in 2015, it was the first wristwatch to use the CHR 29-535 PS calibre, based on the 5170 with the addition of a split-seconds module.
The watch is a contemporary classic with a vintage feel thanks to its deep black grand feu enamel dial with white gold Breguet style numerals and rhodium-plated steel hands with lume that can withstand the whip effect of the chronograph.

It also has the original platinum case back that is an alternative to the sapphire back presently fitted.
