By: Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd. The auction is a tidy affair – just 67 lots of pocket watches and wristwatches, many of them (not surprisingly) The Omega "Flightmaster" All estimates quoted in this report are in Canadian dollars. The Patek Philippe Ref. 5146G wristwatch was first introduced in the early 2000s, as a replacement to the highly successful 5035, continuing Patek's pioneering legacy in annual calendar complications. The watch automatically adjusts for 30 and 31 days (only requiring a manual correction once a year, in February). Features include a self-winding Caliber 324 S, a 39mm 18k white gold case and a hand-stitched Patek leather strap. Estimate: $25,000-$30,000. The late 1971 production model Rolex Submariner Ref. 1680 – nicknamed "Red Sub" (for the red Submariner script on the matte black dial) – remains one of the most iconic and coveted vintage dive watches in the Rolex family. The 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date function, introduced in the 1960s. Other features include the correct Rolex Oyster bracelet and an engraved caseback with the original owner's name and a 1972 date. Estimate: $20,000-$25,000. A Heuer Ref. 73443 Camaro "Champion Dial" chronograph from the 1970s is a rare and charismatic timepiece that blends racing heritage with collector-grade rarity. It's named after the famous Camaro muscle car and is distinguished by its cushion-shaped case and bold motorsport associations. Features include a black racing-style strap, a rare "Exotic Panda" dial, and the Champion Spark Plugs logo printed on the dial, a desirable detail. Estimate: $12,000-$15,000.
