This month's Cartier auction will be the first since the arrival of expert Davide Parmegiani. Among the watches to be offered will be a 1959 Omega Speedmaster, estimated at a punchy €150,000 ($171,000) to €300,000, due to its rare tropical dial and "Broad Arrow" hands. Also on offer is a 1954 Rolex Sub-Aqua, which the auctioneer described as a prototype for the Submariner. Parmegiani, who has more than 30 years of experience as a collector, holds a 50% stake in the company.
