Whether you’re looking for a vintage dress watch to wear to an upcoming wedding or a stainless diver with which to hit the beach this summer, Aste Bolaffi’s watch auction in Milan on 8 April should have you covered.
Standout pieces for us include the 1958 Rolex Submariner ‘James Bond’ (est. 30,000–60,000 euros), with its beguiling and beautifully patinated gilt dial, the lesser-spotted white-dial Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow from the turn of the New Millennium (1,700–3,400 euros), and the gorgeous blue-dial 1969 Tudor Prince Oysterdate, a thinking man’s alternative to a Rolex Datejust with an all-too-tempting pre-sale estimate of just 1,500–3,000 euros. You can find our 10 favourites from the sale listed below or, alternatively, browse the entire catalogue in the Classic Driver Market.
