Laings specialises in purchasing and selling pre-owned watches. With a large selection of luxury brands, the collection is a treasure trove for watch lovers to behold. Laings Pre-Owned Manager, James Crawford, has carefully selected three of the collection’s most incredible timepieces for you to explore.
Patek Philippe Calatrava
This stunning Patek Philippe Calatrava is the quintessential gentleman’s wristwatch of the late 1990’s. Crafted in a modest 33mm case size, this dress watch showcases the elegance and craftmanship of one of the worlds finest watch manufacturers. The applied black “Brequet style” Arabic numerals create the perfect contrast with the porcelain white dial. If you’re searching for the perfect timepiece to be worn under a cuff, with understated quality and prestige, this Patek Philippe Calatrava is not to be overlooked.
Cartier are synonymous with creating some of the most beautiful timepieces in the history of watchmaking. However, up until the late 2000’s, they relied on purchasing watch movements for their timepieces. That all changed with the introduction of the Calibre de Cartier, Cartier’s first collection with dedicated in-house manufacture calibre movements. This coincides with Cartier’s first voyage into the world of sports/divers’ watch. The Calibre de Cartier Diver was launched in 2013 and has been a mainstay in the collection ever since. Where beauty meets brawn, the Calibre offers luxury touches of gold, with the strength of ceramic and stainless steel. Its rubber strap is the perfect accompaniment for a watch water resistant to 300m.
An icon of the Tag Heuer collection, the Monaco wristwatch has been part of motor racing history since its launch in 1969. The square shaped case design was the first automatic wristwatch in a square case to be completely water resistant. In 1971, Steve McQueen famously wore a Monaco watch in the film ‘Le Mans’, cementing its place in popular culture for generations to come. This black dial variation of the Monaco is part of our new aged stock selection, which provides fantastic value on newer timepieces.
