ONLY WATCH 2021: The Highlights

02 July 2021

Switzerland’s watch manufactures have presented their unique pieces for the Only Watch Auction 2021. The Only Watch initiative annually auctions off extraordinary timepieces, which have been produced solely for this event. The proceeds go towards research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This year’s auction will take place on 6 November 2021 in cooperation with Christie’s in Geneva. Below, we present the highlights of the Only Watch 2021 collection.Patek Philippe Only Watch 2021Patek Philippe has presented a table clock with a perpetual calendar. This unique piece is inspired by a timepiece that Patek Philippe delivered to the US businessman James Ward Packard in 1923. The original is now in the manufacture’s museum. This “Unique Piece” for the Only Watch Auction 2021 has a sterling silver case with vermeil decorative elements and inlays of American walnut. Inside is the calibre 86-135 PEND IRM Q SE. In addition to the perpetual calendar with week numbers, it displays the phases of the moon and has a power reserve indicator (31 days). The Complicated Desk Clock also achieves a maximum rate deviation of only +1/-1 second per day.Audemars Piguet Only Watch 2021Audemars Piguet is presenting the Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin Only Watch, which combines the old with the new. The 39 mm case consists of titanium and solid metallic glass. The latter is an extremely modern material that has been the subject of intensive research and is now being used by Audemars Piguet for the first time. In contrast, the Manufacture harks back to the beginnings of the legendary Royal Oak when it comes to the dial. The “Petite Tapisserie” features the typography for the signature and monogram as introduced in 1972 with the 5402 A series.F.P. Journe Only Watch 2021The manufacture of Fran?ois-Paul Journe presents an exceptional timepiece. The unique FFC Blue tells the time with an actual hand. The fingers appear according to the current hour. Meanwhile, the blue arrow at 12 o’clock points to the appropriate minute, which has been moved from the disc to this position. The idea for this clock goes back to Francis Ford Coppola, whom Journe met for dinner in 2012. After 2 years of “invenit” to invent and another 7 years of “fecit” to make ¨C, the manufacture succeeded in producing such an automaton. The watch comes in a 42 mm case that consists of the rare metal tantalum.TUDOR Only Watch 2021On the occasion of the Only Watch Auction 2021, TUDOR is presenting a variation of the Black Bay GMT. The watch has a 41 mm case made of stainless steel, which is given a patina by a secret technique. This finish is also found on the case back, dial and bracelet. Even the movement, which can be seen through the visible case back, gets this finish. Nevertheless, the calibre MT5652-1U meets the strict requirements of the METAS Master Chronometer certificate. The TUDOR Black Bay GMT ONE can display three time zones simultaneously and also has a date window.Richard Mille Only Watch 2021In honour of the racing driver Charles Leclerc, Richard Mille sends the RM 67-02 into the competition. This watch has a case of red and white quartz TPT and thus reflects the colours of Leclerc’s flag, just like the dial. Inside works the calibre CRMA7, which has automatic winding. Last but not least, the “Comfort” strap makes this model the lightest automatic watch in the Richard Mille collection...................
