years , one of the first that springs to mind for Ross is a special edition Patek Philippe Reference 5531R depicting the Lavaux Vineyards on the shores of Lake Geneva . With an estimated sale price of between US $ 1m and US $ 2m , it ultimately sold for US $ 2.22m .
Another is an extremely rare automatic triple calendar Rolex 6062 with star dial and moon phases , which had remarkably remained in completely unworn condition and even came with the original strap . For Ross , this is a “ personal favourite ” due to the stunning patina on the 18k gold case , and it helped the lot fetch US $ 542,500 .
However , her absolute favourite luxury wrist watch is the Patek Philippe Reference 5110 , the first World Time complication watch to be produced by the esteemed manufacturer since the 2523 went out of production in the mid-1960s . The 5510 went out of production itself in 2006 and was replaced by the 5130 .
“ To me it ’ s the perfect size at 37mm ,” Ross adds . “ The complication is very useful for travel , the design is so interesting and attractive with 24 cities around the dial , but somehow it still manages to keep its elegance .”
