Laventure, Transatlantique GMT "PAN AM Edition"

Lot Details

What You Should Know: The Transatlantique GMT “PAN AM Edition” is among the most sought-after Laventure references, inspired by one of the most mythical vintage GMT watches ever produced. Known by collectors through several nicknames, the watch has developed an unusually passionate cult following Limited to just 30 examples, this edition rarely appears publicly and tends to generate significant attention whenever one surfaces. The compact 39mm steel case and vintage-inspired GMT design perfectly capture Laventure’s distinctive blend of nostalgia and modern execution. Offered as a complete set with its extensive original accessories, this is one of the hardest-to-find and most collectible Laventure configurations produced to date. IN THEIR OWN WORDS: “The LAVENTURE Transatlantique II GMT “Évocation” is a secret and highly confidential version of the Transatlantique II GMT, produced in only 30 numbered pieces. Never catalogued, never officially presented within the public collection, and absent from the brand’s official communications, this series was offered exclusively to some of LAVENTURE’s best clients. Its inspiration draws from the mysterious aura surrounding certain Rolex GMT-Master ref. 6542 watches said to have been worn by Pan Am pilots — a historical reference surrounded by uncertainty, yet one that has become legendary in the imagination of travel watches. With its GMT function, transatlantic spirit, and status as a secret collection, this piece holds a singular place in LAVENTURE’s history: a rare and confidential watch, deeply connected to the world of discerning collectors, historical narratives, ultra-limited productions, and contemporary independent Swiss watchmaking.” - Clément Gaud, founder and watchmaker of Laventure
