Konstantin Chaykin, PIECE UNIQUE "The Guardian Lion" Joker
Realised: CHF 24’000 including premium
Lot Details
What You Should Know: This one-of-a-kind Joker combines Konstantin Chaykin’s most iconic creation with a unique guardian lion motif. Unlike machine-applied decoration, the engraving was executed entirely by hand, giving the watch a far stronger artisanal and individual character. As a first-generation example delivered in the launch year of the model, it represents the earliest chapter of one of the most recognizable independent watches of the modern era. Previously owned by collector and media figure Marko Koncina, the watch is well documented through Swiss Watch Gang and carries strong collector provenance. Few modern independent watches are as instantly identifiable as the Joker, and unique early examples remain especially desirable among collectors.
