I know, I know. . . I already have one of these (early “Jumbo” example in stainless steel with cal. 287)!
But it’s difficult not to lust for another Tri-Compax—here encased in a later (mid-‘50s), more compact, 18k yellow-gold creation by Huguenin Frères with those lyre lugs that flow like lines of lyric poetry in a dimly-lit room at sundown.
You will remember those lines from such pieces as the Universal Genève Polerouter and the Omega Speedmaster. . .
Lot no. 71 in the recent @phillipswatches New York auction. Sold on Dec. 10, 2022 for $20,160 (including the buyer’s premium).
