Object description

Identity and Reference Details

Catalogued under lot 4243 by Cortrie Spezial Auktionen, this Glashütte Original SeaQ diver's watch is listed with reference number 13911098134. Described in the auction listing as a 'full set', the wristwatch was offered with manufacturer collateral including an original presentation box and documentation.

The auctioneer cited a manufacturer recommended retail price of €10,200 ('RRP €10,200') alongside a 'Glashütte certificate of authenticity' and 'all documentation'. The record does not, however, supply a documented year of production or original sale date, nor is an individual movement or case serial number provided.

Evidence for this section
  • “Ref. 13911098134”
  • “full set”
  • “unworn with Glashütte certificate of authenticity, original box and all documentation, RRP €10,200.”

Case and External Construction

The timepiece is executed in stainless steel with a case diameter catalogued at approximately 40 mm ('Ca. Ø40mm'). Direct visual examination confirms a rotating bezel fitted with a blue insert and white minute calibrations, alongside a winding crown situated at the 3 o'clock position displaying a fluted finish.

According to the auctioneer's listing, the watch features a 'screw-down case back', though the reverse side is not pictured in the auction photography. The watch is mounted on a dark fabric strap.

Evidence for this section
  • “Ca. Ø40mm, stainless steel, screw-down case back, rotating bezel”
  • “fabric strap”
  • “Unidirectional rotating bezel with blue insert and white minute calibrations”
  • “Winding crown positioned at 3 o'clock with fluted finish”

Dial and Movement Execution

Visible observations record a blue sunburst dial configured with applied luminous Arabic numerals and baton hour markers. The dial layout includes central seconds—with a counterweight bearing the double-G logo—and a date indication located at the 3 o'clock position.

Internal operation is reported as an 'automatic movement' in the auction text. Because the case back remains unopened and not depicted in the listing imagery, specific movement calibre specifications, finishing, and mechanical condition are not documented in this source.

Evidence for this section
  • “automatic movement, blue dial, date, center seconds”
  • “Blue sunburst dial with applied luminous Arabic numerals and baton hour markers”
  • “Central seconds hand with a counterweight bearing the double-G logo”

Condition Reporting and Documentation Limits

The auction house described the piece as 'as good as new, unworn', but this designation represents an unverified vendor claim rather than an objective condition audit. Furthermore, the auction conditions of sale state that there is no guarantee concerning the working and accuracy of second-hand watches.

The lot documentation is noted as including a 'Glashütte certificate of authenticity' and 'all documentation'. However, the listing does not transcribe the serial number or issuing date from these documents, leaving the initial distribution date and retailer unrecorded.

Evidence for this section
  • “as good as new, unworn Glashütte Original SeaQ diver's watch, full set”
  • “There is no guaranty concerning the working and accuracy of second hand watches and clocks”
  • “unworn with Glashütte certificate of authenticity, original box and all documentation”

Open research questions

  • What specific calibre number powers this reference 13911098134 SeaQ, and what decorative finish is present on the movement?
  • What individual serial number is engraved on the case back or stated on the accompanying Glashütte certificate of authenticity?
  • What date of purchase and authorized dealer stamp are recorded on the included documentation?
