[WTS] Czapek Antarctique Roaring Forties - LE of 40 with OEM extras
Hi everyone, Beautiful watch here, absolutely the nicest I have ever owned, but like many of you I like to change things up and try new ones. Now that I have dipped into high horology, I especially am interested in seeing what else is out there. This is a great one though in a very rare color - the Roaring Forties Antarctique is one of 40 in the world in this nice dark grey. It was purchased from an AD in July 2022, and includes all tools, box, and papers. It came with a steel bracelet with polished center links; and I also bought an additional OEM brushed bracelet (with nice microadjust) and a blue and red calfskin strap which I’ll include. All bracelets have all of their links. It is in great condition - only tiny blemish that I can see is at the 6:00 position on the polished part of the bezel. You can kind of see it briefly in this video but would never notice it on the wrist. It was recently serviced (April of 2025) by Czapek and is keeping excellent time within +\- 3 spd for me. The movement is beautiful - the best view of a functioning escapement I have ever seen, they really optimized a deep view with the microrotor structure (which is itself made of platinum, a nice touch). Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can send more pictures, video etc or hop on a call. I am not a dealer and I know this is a lot of money so happy to help you buy confidently. I have been selling here for years with no issues at all. Similarly, I would rather sell to someone with history here. Asking $15000 for everything, which is lower than any other antarctique reference I could find, plus in a LE I have never seen for sale, plus with two extra OEM strap/bracelet options so that you can make good use of their awesome quick exchange system. Thanks for looking! Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/PEM01r Video: https://imgur.com/a/6VAF4ay
