NEW HAMBURG, Ontario – A visually stunning Ulysse Nardin Ref. 1700-129 Skeleton Tourbillon watch and a luxurious 18K gold Rolex Submariner Ref. M126618LN watch both posted selling prices of $47,200 in an online-only Luxury Watches auction held November 6th by Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. Each watch shared top lot honors in the 136-lot auction.

The Ulysse Nardin Skeleton Tourbillon, crafted in 18K white gold and limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, was a masterpiece that boasted an open worked skeleton dial revealing the intricate manually wound movement, with blued steel hands. It sold for under estimate to a lucky bidder.
The Rolex Submariner is the definitive luxury dive watch, and the Ref. M126618LN is a modern expression of this icon, crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold.

It showcased Rolex’s bold commitment to durability and legibility and topped the high estimate.
