Japan is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading markets for watch collectors. The country is home to a large number of vintage watches that have been preserved in excellent condition, attracting strong interest from buyers around the world. Beyond their appeal as objects of personal enjoyment, luxury timepieces are increasingly recognized as portable assets with globally recognized value.
ALLU AUCTION is one of the few recurring luxury timepiece auctions in Japan, founded on the Valuence Group’s extensive expertise in auction management.
With each successive auction, ALLU AUCTION has attracted an increasingly international participant base. In recent years, participation has grown not only from within Japan but also from overseas markets, including the United States, the Middle East, and Hong Kong. The seventh auction set a new record for the number of consigned lots, underscoring the growing prominence of ALLU AUCTION as a dedicated luxury timepiece auction.
The eighth auction will feature approximately 150 lots, the largest lineup in ALLU AUCTION history. The full catalog is now available on the official website (https://www.allu-auction.com/). The eighth auction includes rare models from globally renowned brands, including Cartier, Grand Seiko, Patek Philippe, and Rolex.

■Highlighted Products
Cartier
Model Name：Crash watch MM
Reference No：WL420047
Estimate：JPY 10,000,000-20,000,000
The Crash collection is widely recognized as one of Cartier’s most iconic watch lines. The piece’s distinctive distorted case design carries forward the avant-garde aesthetic that first emerged in the 1960s. Featuring an 18K rose gold case paired with a silver dial, this model balances originality with elegance. The hand-wound movement enables a slim profile, while the watch itself combines sculptural beauty with everyday wearability, making it as much a work of art as a functional timepiece.
Grand Seiko
Model Name：Elegance Collection Spring Drive 20th Anniversary
Reference No：SBGZ001
Estimate：JPY 4,000,000-8,000,000
The SBGZ001 is a special model commemorating the 20th anniversary of Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive technology. Limited to just 30 pieces worldwide, the watch showcases the Grand Seiko brand’s exceptional craftsmanship capabilities. Intricate hand-engraved decoration across the entire case depicts Yukishiro, a motif inspired by wind-swept snow patterns found in the Shinshu region. Combining Grand Seiko’s proprietary Spring Drive movement with outstanding artisanal craftsmanship, the SBGZ001 stands as an iconic expression of the brand.
Patek Philippe
Model Name：Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar Chronograph
Reference No：5970J-001
Estimate：JPY 22,000,000-28,000,000
The Ref. 5970J-001 is a celebrated timepiece that combines Patek Philippe’s signature perpetual calendar and chronograph complications. Housed in a 40 mm yellow gold case, this piece features the hand-wound Caliber CH 27-70 Q, often referred to by collectors as the “last Lemania.” The movement, visible through the see-through caseback, showcases meticulously beveled edges and exquisite finishing that highlight Patek Philippe’s exceptional watchmaking expertise. The model remains highly sought after even after discontinuation and continues to be regarded as a prized collector’s piece.
Rolex
Model Name：Datejust
Reference No：79173 2BR
Estimate：JPY 1,200,000-1,700,000
The Ref. 79173 is a ladies’ version of the Datejust, one of Rolex’s most iconic dress watches. The watch features a classic design with Rolex’s signature Rolesor construction, which combines stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, along with a Jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. Powered by the self-winding Caliber 2235 and housed in a 26 mm case, the model offers the reliability and practicality for which Rolex is known. Among the many dial variations available for the Datejust, this example stands out with a vibrant turquoise dial that gives the watch a distinctive character.
