Bonhams now offers online sales of an incredible piece of watchmaking known as “vertical watchmaking,” which consists of eleven vintages of the same Rolex model that have never been worn.
When we are in love, we nickname one another. In any event, about the various timepieces that the brand associated with the crown has produced. Because of this, the Rolex Submariner reference 116610LV, which was introduced in 2010, was given the illustrious moniker of “Hulk,” and its green Cerachrom bezel obliged this moniker.
Bonhams is presenting a vertical of Rolex Submariner “Hulk” watches.
It is precisely what lovers of good wines would call a “vertical” that the auction house Bonhams is dispersing at an online auction until August 22: the eleven successive vintages of the Rolex Submariner “Hulk,” all of which have never been worn. These vintages range from 2010 up to 2020. According to Bonhams, the same collector would have acquired the piece year after year and is now selling it after having kept it all these years. These so-called “new from stock” versions have a price tag of $29,000 despite having an estimated value that ranges between $40,000 and $60,000. Each comes with its box as well as the paperwork and receipts associated with its purchase.
