Timeless Gallery: The New Watch Shop On The Block
Yesterday, I had the chance to meet with Seth Larrabure, former Christie's North American Head of Watches and the founder of Timeless Gallery. His brand new boutique specializes in high-end vintage and contemporary timepieces as well as other luxury goods. Whether you're on the hunt for that perfect 6239 Newman, Patek 5035 annual calendar, or killer yellow gold 1803, he's apt to have it. While I was there, Seth pulled out a few "special" wristwatches from some of my favorite brands. Let's take a look....
A Steel 1940's Rolex Chronograph Model 3525.
A Rolex Daytona Reference 6263 ($36,000).
A Really Cool Rolex GMT Master "Pointed Crown Guard" Featuring A Nicely-Faded Pepsi Bezel And A Gilt Dial ($11,200).
A Rolex Paul Newman Daytona Reference 6239 ($125,000).
A Rare Rolex Paul Newman Daytona 6239 Paired With A Non-Paul Newman Dial Daytona.
A Classic Rolex 5513 Alongside A Rugged, But Well-Kept Tudor Submariner.
A Shot On The Wrist Of A Rolex 5513 Submariner.
A Lovely Rolex Datejust 1601 With An Amazing Bright Blue Dial.
