Understated Patek Philippe at its finest.
The Patek Philippe ref. 3445 in solid 18k white gold is the kind of vintage watch that doesn’t need to shout to be special.
Elegant proportions, a beautifully restrained dial and the discreet appearance of white gold give the 3445 an exceptionally refined presence on the wrist. To the casual observer, it could almost pass unnoticed — but to those who know, it is unmistakably Patek Philippe.
Introduced during one of the great periods of Patek Philippe watchmaking, the ref. 3445 pairs timeless design with the mechanical craftsmanship that has made vintage Patek so highly regarded by collectors.
No oversized case. No unnecessary complication. No obvious display of precious metal.
Just 18k white gold, exceptional watchmaking and timeless design.
This is exactly why we’re increasingly excited to bring watches of this calibre into Mr Watch Winder.
Not your usual vintage Datejust… 👀
This Rolex Datejust ref. 1601 stands apart thanks to a particularly desirable combination — a sophisticated grey dial paired with a two-tone Oyster bracelet.
While vintage Datejusts are most commonly associated with the Jubilee bracelet, the two-tone Oyster gives the 1601 an entirely different character. Sportier, more substantial and considerably less frequently encountered.
The classic 36mm case, yellow-gold fluted bezel and grey dial create a beautifully balanced contrast, while the Oyster bracelet gives this vintage Rolex a presence that feels remarkably contemporary on the wrist.
A distinctive configuration of an already iconic reference — and exactly the kind of vintage Rolex we love finding.
Oyster or Jubilee on a vintage Datejust — which are you choosing?

Two very different expressions of vintage Rolex — both unmistakably Rolex.
On one side, the understated elegance of a classic Oyster Perpetual, with its crisp white Roman numeral dial, two-tone case and warm brown leather strap.
Alongside it, the unmistakable presence of the Rolex Day-Date — solid gold, fluted bezel, ch*****ne-toned dial and the iconic day and date display that has defined the model for generations.
Different complications, different personalities, but the same timeless design language. Proof that vintage Rolex doesn’t need a bracelet to make an impression.
Which are you choosing — Oyster Perpetual or Day-Date?

A seriously complete example of an overlooked Rolex. 👀
This 2007 Rolex Air-King ref. 114200 is a superb neo-vintage example, combining classic 34mm Rolex proportions with a distinctive platinum-coloured dial featuring bold Arabic numerals.
The stainless steel case, smooth bezel and original Oyster bracelet give it a clean, understated appearance, while inside sits Rolex’s highly regarded automatic Calibre 3130.
But what really sets this example apart is its provenance.
It comes as an exceptional full set, including:
• Inner & outer Rolex boxes
• Original Rolex cushion
• Guarantee card
• Instruction manuals
• Both swing tags
• Rolex wallet
Beautifully preserved, incredibly complete and offering a very different proposition from the usual Datejust or Oyster Perpetual.
Is the Air-King one of the most underrated Rolex models of this era?

One of the defining designs of vintage Omega. ✨
This 1966 Omega Constellation ref. 168.005 brings together everything we love about the golden era of Omega watchmaking.
Its beautifully proportioned 35mm two-tone stainless steel and gold-plated case surrounds the iconic Pie Pan dial — a distinctive faceted design that has become one of the most recognisable and sought-after features of vintage Constellations.
Turn it over and you’ll find the famous 18k gold Observatory medallion, a hallmark of the Constellation’s chronometer heritage.
Inside sits the highly regarded automatic Calibre 561, completing a watch that delivers just as much mechanical pedigree as it does vintage character.
Finished on a premium brown leather strap and presented with an Omega travel case.
For us, the Pie Pan remains one of Omega’s greatest-ever dial designs. Would you agree?

A splash of colour from the 1970s. 💚
This 1973 Omega Seamaster ref. 166.0167 combines classic vintage Omega proportions with a striking green-coloured dial that immediately sets it apart from more traditional Seamaster configurations.
Its beautifully proportioned 36mm stainless steel case offers excellent everyday wearability, while the rich green dial brings depth, character and unmistakable 1970s personality.
Inside sits Omega’s automatic Calibre 1012, with the watch finished on a premium black leather strap for a clean contrast against the dial.
A distinctive vintage Seamaster for anyone looking for something a little different from the usual silver and ch*****ne dials.
Would you go green? 💚
An icon of Cartier design.
The Must de Cartier Tank ref. 2416 is a beautifully understated example of one of the most recognisable watch designs ever created.
Its elegant 23mm silver case delivers the unmistakable Tank aesthetic — refined proportions, Roman numerals and timeless styling that feels every bit as relevant today.
This example is accompanied by its Cartier pouch and service card, with the added reassurance of a Cartier warranty running until 2028.
Elegant, distinctive and effortlessly wearable, this is classic Cartier at its best.

Few watches are as instantly recognisable as the Cartier Tank.
This Must de Cartier Tank ref. 2416 is a beautifully elegant example, featuring the unmistakable rectangular case in a refined 23mm silver configuration — classic Cartier proportions that have remained effortlessly stylish for generations.
Understated, distinctive and unmistakably Cartier, it’s the kind of watch that proves great design doesn’t need to be oversized to make an impression.
Adding considerably to its appeal, this example is presented with its Cartier pouch and service card, and benefits from a Cartier warranty until 2028.
A timeless design with the added reassurance of recent Cartier attention — and a superb entry into one of the most iconic watch families ever created.
Three iconic Constellations. Three very different personalities. Which one are you choosing? 👀
🌹 36mm Rose Gold — warm, elegant and unmistakably vintage. A beautifully proportioned Constellation that captures the refinement of Omega’s golden era.
⚪ 37mm Stainless Steel Jumbo — Silver Dial — the rarer oversized proportions collectors love, paired with a clean silver dial for a classic and incredibly wearable combination.
⚫ 37mm Stainless Steel Jumbo — Black Dial — the boldest of the three. Rare Jumbo dimensions combined with a striking black dial make this an incredibly distinctive vintage Constellation.
All three are finished on premium leather straps, but each offers a completely different take on one of Omega’s most important vintage collections.
Rose Gold, Silver Jumbo or Black Jumbo — which gets your vote?

The 1972 Rolex Air-King ref. 5500 is a beautifully preserved example of one of Rolex’s most understated vintage models, combining classic proportions with effortless everyday wearability.
Its standout feature is the striking midnight blue dial — a far less commonly seen configuration that gives this Air-King a distinctive character compared with the more traditional silver-dial examples.
With its clean design and timeless proportions, the ref. 5500 perfectly captures the understated simplicity that has made the Air-King such an enduring part of Rolex history.
Presented in immaculate condition with its original Rolex box and both swing tags, this is a superb collector-grade example with excellent vintage character and provenance.
