Reference:5502: Difference between revisions

Two Bonhams lots close the direct-5502 gap in the record: a champagne-dial example sold in New York in 2023 and a black-dial example sold in London in 2024, both explicitly catalogued as ref. 5502 with Cal 1530 movements and full case numbers, rather than the 5506-anchored record this article previously relied on. The Bonhams 5506 lot remains the cleanest standalone 5506 hammer record; the Heritage 5506 lot anchors the silvered + dauphine sub-variant; the Antiquorum 5516 lot stays in as the closest sister-cousin reference price proxy (the 5516 is a separate reference, not a 5502 or 5506 — the inclusion is for valuation context only).

The pair trades primarily through dealer markets at the USD 2,000–4,500 band depending on dial configuration and condition. Standard silvered Cal 1530 examples in clean condition sit at the lower end (USD 2,000–3,000); sunburst champagne and black-gilt examples push into the USD 3,000–4,500 range with provenance — the New York 5502 result (USD 3,520) sits inside that band; the London 5502 result (GBP 3,072) is in a different currency and not converted here. Phillips, Sotheby's, Christie's have no documented standalone 5502 or 5506 essay-grade lots through 2025; Bonhams and Heritage are the documented major-house anchors.
