CARTIER TRINITY RING WITH PAVE DIAMONDS

I know this has nothing to do with ROLEX, but it is very nice and thought I would put it on my blog since I have nothing new in watches today!  18k yellow, white and pink gold Cartier 'Trinity' band pave set with round brilliant cut diamonds on the white gold band, circa 2007.  This ring was bought from the Cartier boutique on Bloor street in Toronto in 2007 and was purchased for over $9,000.00 with taxes.  The list price since then has come down to match the U.S. list which is $8,588.00 with taxes.  The ring is in excellent almost unworn condition and comes with the original box and papers from Cartier.  Priced fairly at $4,900.00 this won't be here long!!  Contact me for further details: 416-434-0499 or knightsbridge.info@gmail.com **SOLD**

ROLEX COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA PAUL NEWMAN REF. 6241

This is the most pristine Rolex Cosmograph Daytona I've seen!!  So called Paul Newman with tri-coloured Rolex exotic dial reference number 6241 & serial number 17xxxxx, circa 1970.  I originally sold this watch to a Canadian collector many years ago which I purchased from the original owner.  The collector has since had the watch serviced in Geneva by Rolex!!!  This watch has the service papers from Rolex Geneva which in this market is invaluable and is better than having the original papers.  The watch is in better than new condition and looks like it has never been worn... ever!! By far the finest example for sale on the planet.  A watch like this is sure to make any collector very excited and is the nicest one I've ever had through my hands...  This watch is priced fairly upon request and won't last long (the last 6241 was sold in 24hrs).  Contact me for further details: Greg 416-434-0499 or knightsbridge.info@gmail.com

ROLEX GMT 16760 'FAT LADY' OR 'SOPHIA LOREN'

Interesting Rolex Stainless Steel GMT Master II, ref. 16760 and ser. 9,xxxxxx, circa 1988.  This watch is rare and unusual because of the extra thick case, bezel & crown guards, hence the names 'fat lady' and 'Sophia Loren'.  This watch needs some work but I thought I would post it anyway.  I plan on replacing the crystal as it has some chips and it needs a bracelet as well.  A real collectors item that won't last long and will be priced fairly on request.  Call or email me for further details: 416-434-0499 or knightsbridge.info@gmail.com

AN EVENING OF FINE JEWELS & LUXURY WRISTWATCHES!

November 2007, Knightsbridge Party at a classy downtown restaurant!

KNIGHTSBRIDGE IS GROWING!!

Reflecting on the past week I realize how much my business, Knightsbridge in the heart of downtown Toronto (corner Bay & Bloor streets) and I personally have grown in the past 12 months at that location.    With the purchase and sale of a really fine and rare Rolex Daytona Paul Newman, ref.6241 & a couple more very rare watches to be added in the coming week.  It makes me proud to know that with so many qualified and reputable vintage watch dealers in Toronto and around the globe my  new and existing clients are always sure that by coming to me they are getting the most honest service and highest price for their treasures.  From the very first steps up to my private showroom next to Tiffany & Co. on Bloor Street to the last sip  of fine French Champagne or my famous espresso's.. with thrilled clients after a wonderful deal, I feel proud with what the 'Knightsbridge' experience has grown to become. I now really feel proud to be a part of what has been in my family through over four generations and what our family name known worldwide has come to mean, only the highest level of service and respect.   "Honesty, Trust & Hard Work" coupled with the relaxed atmosphere at my office and absolute privacy & respect for my clients.  That's why Knightsbridge is a success!  This is nothing new as I have had great teachers, this is just the beginning of great things to come!!  Stay tuned this week for some really great pieces...
