Auctions Only Watch Announces 62 Unique Lots for November Charity Auction

Brands big and small bring the heat -- and it's all for a good cause.

The 73 watchmakers participating in the biennial Only high quality replica watches charity auction have just announced the 62 lots that will be auctioned in Geneva on November 5. Luc Pettavino founded Only Watch in 2005 to raise funds for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Every two years, the watchmaker produces a one-off piece and sells it at auction, currently held by Christie's. Here, Patek Philippe watches set the record for the most expensive watch in the world, Tudor took the Internet by storm with its unique Black Bay and FP Journe consistently created unique movements.

Here are some highlights from this year's upcoming Only Watch auction.

Audemars Piguet: Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Skeleton Limited EditionLet's start with Audemars Piguet, which took advantage of some of AP's strengths when creating the Skeleton Flying Tourbillon: the Royal Oak, the ceramic case, and the skeletonized (aka skeletonized) movement. This year's Only Watch features a 41mm case and white ceramic bracelet and is powered by the AP 2972​​ movement, a skeletonized movement with vivid blue mainplate and bridges. AP also trumpeted the movement decorations on this Royal Oak special, as well as the white gold hour markers and hands, and even the 22-carat gold rotor in the same blue and rhodium hues.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon MarbleBrowse through the 62 lots in alphabetical order before we look at Bulgari, which has created a special Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Marble for Only Watch. Typical 40mm DLC treated titanium case and bracelet covered with a layer of Verde di Alpi green marble (only 0.5mm thick for the case and 0.4mm thick for the bracelet). Of course, there is also a thin layer of green marble on the dial. The marble at 6 o'clock reveals the flying tourbillon of the BVL 268, the world's thinnest hand-wound flying tourbillon.

According to Bulgari, the marble comes from the Aosta Valley, a natural passage through the Alps that connects Switzerland with Bulgari's home country, Italy. Marble also signifies the historical link between Roman jewelers and the Roman Empire with its marble monuments and ruins. Speaking of Rome, winning this lot also includes an overnight stay at Bulgari's newest hotel in Rome – as the saying goes, "in Rome!" luxury replica Watches

FP Journe Chronomètre Bleu FurtifFP Journe always creates a new movement for its Only Watch and has done so again this year. The Chronomètre Furtif Bleu is powered by the new manual-winding caliber 1522 in 18K rose gold. It features a power reserve indicator and a moon phase display, both located on the back of the movement and only visible through the display case back.

The watch measures 42mm and has an all-tantalum case and bracelet. It gets its name because it is difficult to read the time if the dial is not facing you. The brushed numerals on the blue enamel dial are only visible under light reflection, meaning that "only its owner" can appreciate it.

The revived Gerald Genta label is currently making its debut at Only Watch under the direction of La Fabriques du Temps Louis Vuitton's Michel Navas and Enrico Barbasini. The occasion marks the 100th anniversary of Disney and the 50th anniversary of Genta's first wristwatch, featuring a minute repeater Mickey Mouse watch in Genta's signature octagonal case. The champlevéed enamel dial features enamel Mickey Mouse holding a birthday cake in one hand, symbolizing Disney's birthday and the tenth edition of Only discount replica watches.

The 40 mm white gold case houses the new GG-001 movement developed by La Fabrique du Temps. According to the revived Genta brand, this is a watch that was sketched by the designer but never created. Together.

TAG Heuer Monaco Split Seconds WatchIn this year's Only Watch edition, TAG Heuer presents the first mechanical split-seconds chronograph with a new movement housed in the familiar Monaco case. Of course, this is not the case of Monaco. It is made of textured titanium, a new material that TAG has also developed for this project. Inside is the TAG Heuer caliber TH81-00, a rattrapante movement visible through the sapphire case back and sapphire dial – the subdials are suspended by titanium bridges.

Like the Bulgari Only Watch, this Monaco watch also brings an experience: the winner will have the opportunity to participate in the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix in May 2024 with TAG Heuer.

Tudor Prince Chronograph OneTudor watches always appear on Only Watch. In 2023, Tudor launched the Prince Chronograph One, featuring a new chronograph movement and a reinterpretation of the classic Big Block Tudor chronograph from the 90s in an 18-carat solid gold case. Tudor named the new prototype movement MT59XX, with a column wheel structure, equipped with a silicon balance spring, and has a 70-hour power reserve.

Like all other Tudor Only replica watches on sale pieces, the description reads like a Tudor enthusiast's fever dream, and there is no doubt that this piece will eventually sell for hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs - known to several high-profile collectors Artists will compete for each piece. Tudor Only Watch has a ferocious Pokémon "must catch 'em" mentality. The paltry estimates here are just to make fun of humble Black Bay wearers like you and me.

Sylvaine Pinaud Only Watch OrigineSylvain Pinaud is one of the most exciting independent watchmakers in Switzerland. His Origine won the Horological Inspiration Award at GPHG 2022 and now he has created a unique Origine for Only Watch 2023. He added a light blue and silver two-tone guilloché dial to the Origine, all housed in a 40mm stainless steel case. The unique dial lends a cool, modern effect to this watch, which has given a modern interpretation to some elements of traditional watchmaking that inspired Pinaud and made Origine feel at home .

Necklace by Tiffany & Co. and Richard MilleFinally, two in one: Richard Mille and Tiffany & Co. have both created watch necklaces for Only Watch 2023. Richard Mille created the RMS14, a tribute to the Talisman Origine, a shamanic relic discovered centuries ago in India. Switzerland. The necklace features RM's signature tonneau shape, strung on a Swiss briar, gold, titanium and rhodonite necklace. Press material related to this reads more like a cryptic spell than a watch launch, but what else can you expect from a unique Richard Mille?

Meanwhile, Tiffany & Co. created a "Bird On A Rock Mechanical Pendant Watch" for Only replica mens watches, a reinterpretation of Tiffany & Co.'s Bird on a Rock brooch. Like me, you probably don't know much about Tiffany brooches, but close your eyes and imagine your friend's wealthy grandmother, who might be wearing a bird on a rock—you just never realize it. It’s less a piece of watchmaking than a piece of jewelry – 461 diamonds are set on the dial alone – but it does feature a hand-wound movement beneath the brilliant dial.

Unknown: Patek Philippe and Rexhep RexhepiSome brands simply revealed what they would offer, including Patek Philippe and Rexhep Rexhepi.

First, Patek Philippe gave us only the following hint: To celebrate Philippe Stern's 85th birthday in November, Thierry and Patek Philippe will produce a limited edition of 30 Watch with Philippe Stern's favorite complication and a new movement. Designed and produced exclusively for this tribute watch, it will never be used again. The first watch of this limited edition will feature the unique Only Watch design and will be auctioned on November 5th.

At the same time, independent watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi named his Only Watch creation: Chronomètre Antimagnétique. According to Rexhepi, it will be a watch with all his hallmarks, but with a Faraday cage around the handcrafted movement to prevent magnetism. The dial will also draw inspiration from vintage "science dials," subtly reflecting the watch's antimagnetic purpose.

Without a doubt, these will be two of the most anticipated watches at the Only Watch auction, so we'll hear more as soon as more details become available.Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Self-Winding Flying Tourbillon Openworked
