Stainless Steel Zenith Chronograph, from Sotheby'sEstimate: $3,085 to $5,142; sold for $3,857
This attractive Zenith offered by Sotheby’s may not house the great El Primero movement, but its manually wound movement is no less impressive. The polished case and straight lugs give it a sporty look, in tune with contemporary tastes, and the silver matte dial is killer. The only blemish on an otherwise pristine dial can be found on the seconds register at 9 o’clock, with some fading also visible in the seconds register. Otherwise, the case shows typical signs of wear and tear, and whoever walked away with it should be feeling pretty good right about now.
