Joopiter's latest auction, "The Art of Time: Rare & Coveted Watches," is set to captivate watch enthusiasts with its exceptional selection of top-tier timepieces. The auction, hosted by Joopiter, showcases a century's worth of horological masterpieces, ranging from the not-quite-our-tempo to the must-have.
One of the standout pieces in this auction is the Hermès "Ceinture Concealed Dial" watch, which features Zenith's legendary El Primero movement. This unique watch, part of the Joopiter auction, is not typically found in other auction houses and is not a standard Rolex Paul Newman Daytona.

Among the highlights of the auction are a Rolex Day-Date reference 18366 cased in platinum with a lapis lazuli dial and a bezel set with 24 baguette-cut diamonds, a Cartier Tank Cintrée reference WGTA0090, and a 1970s Piaget-made Tank for Cartier adorned with coral and onyx. These watches, along with 28 other curated pieces from top horological names like Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Franck Muller, Louis Vuitton, Gerald Genta, Piaget, and others, make this auction a must-see for any watch connoisseur.
