An upcoming auction hosted by Wilsons Auctions in Belfast will showcase a selection of authenticated luxury watches, fine jewellery, designer handbags, and other high-end items. The event will occur both in-person at the auction house and online, providing opportunities for a wider audience of collectors and enthusiasts.
The highlight of the auction is a Cartier Tank Française (reference 2366), crafted in 18ct white gold. This exquisite timepiece boasts a pavé diamond-set case and bracelet, a silver guilloché dial, and an automatic movement. With dimensions of 28mm by 32mm, it elegantly combines one of Cartier’s most iconic designs with luxurious materials.
Another notable piece is the Cartier Calibre de Cartier (reference 3300), presented in 18ct rose gold. This 42mm automatic watch features a white dial paired with a matching bracelet, exemplifying Cartier’s modern sports-luxury aesthetic.
Representing Breitling is the Navitimer 01 (reference AB0127), which has a 46mm stainless steel case, a black dial, and a leather strap. Accompanied by its original paperwork, this automatic chronograph is likely to draw interest from aficionados of the brand known for its aviation timepieces.
Additionally, the auction will feature an 18ct rose gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, which includes a black dial and leather strap. Measuring 38mm by 23mm, this reversible watch is a classic representation of Swiss watchmaking.
Completing the selection of standout watches is a Breitling Chronomat 44 (reference CB0110), which artfully blends stainless steel and 18ct gold, showcasing a two-tone case and bracelet with a black dial and automatic movement.

McKenzie noted the recent enhancements made to the branch, emphasizing their commitment to providing a superior auction experience for collectors and trade buyers.
