Miller & Miller Auctions Ltd.

This auction brings together an extraordinary selection of timepieces, many drawn from the collection of Alexander James Black. Among the standout offerings are three important Rolex watches: the luxurious 18K gold Submariner Ref. M126618LN with matching gold bracelet, a historically significant pre-Explorer Ref. 6298, and the legendary ?Big Crown? Submariner Ref. 6538, a model forever linked with the early James Bond films and coveted by collectors worldwide. From Ulysse Nardin, the sale features a limited-edition Tourbillon Ref. 1700-129, showcasing the brand?s technical mastery and avant-garde design. The Omega Speedmaster lineup is equally compelling, led by an early Ref. 2998-1, a Railmaster Flightmaster Ref. 2914-5 with rare Naiad crown, and a Ref. 145.014, each representing a milestone in Omega?s storied connection to space and aviation. Rounding out the highlights are two exceptional pocket watches celebrating the golden age of railway precision - a Waltham 16-size ?CPR? and a Rockford 18-size 24-jewel Model 900 - both exemplifying the craftsmanship and reliability that defined North American rail timekeeping. For those looking to add your collection, this curated offering of 136 lots is not to be missed!
