The Archive

Pieces sourced, negotiated,
and placed — on record.

A record of engagements completed under Ombrage's brokerage, acquisition due diligence, private sourcing, and negotiation services — for professional traders and private collectors alike. Client identities are never disclosed; details below are generalised to protect confidentiality.

Completed Engagements

A working record, not a highlight reel.

This is where past mandates are logged as they close. Entries below are illustrative placeholders — replace with real engagements, and a photo of each piece, as they are completed.

Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or Ref. 3589, yellow gold
Private Sourcing Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or — Ref. 3589
Sourced for a private client on the strength of its automatic movement — the Ellipse d'Or was produced almost exclusively hand-wound, making an automatic example genuinely rare within the reference.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ref. 8638ST, 1999, NOS
Brokerage Audemars Piguet Royal Oak — Ref. 8638ST
Sourced for a trader as a genuine N.O.S. example — the 8638ST is rarely found with an automatic movement, most examples of this reference having been produced hand-wound.
Rolex Day-Date 40 Ref. 228235, chocolate Roman dial
Brokerage Rolex Day-Date 40 — Ref. 228235
Sourced for a trader — the chocolate Roman-numeral dial configuration is one of the more sought-after variants of the reference.
Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711/1R-001, rose gold, full set
Brokerage Patek Philippe Nautilus — Ref. 5711/1R-001
Sourced from the French market for a trader — a 2021 example, from the reference's final year of production, in full set and as-new condition.
Rolex Daytona Ref. 116519, white gold, yellow mother-of-pearl 'Beach' dial
Due Diligence Private Sourcing Rolex Daytona "Beach" — Ref. 116519
Authenticated and sourced for a private collector in Asia — an unpolished example of the sought-after "Beach" mother-of-pearl dial, complete with its full set.
