Museum Collection Collector Series No. 6 "Tonneau Renversé"
The Omega Museum Collection N° 6: "Tonneau Renversé" (Reference 5705.30.01) is a striking, limited-edition tribute piece that beautifully revives a historic 1952 Omega design. Striking a dramatic silhouette, its distinctive "reversed tonneau" case features a sophisticated two-tone construction, utilizing 18K white gold for the main body dynamically contrasted by 18K red gold on the prominent horizontal bezels. Underneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the dial shines with a vibrant champagne-gold sunburst finish, accented by sleek, faceted dagger hour markers and polished hands. Blending mid-century artistry with modern engineering, the watch features a dedicated small-seconds sub-dial above the 6 o'clock mark and is driven by the highly accurate, chronometer-certified Omega Calibre 2202 mechanical movement with a Co-Axial escapement. Restricted to an exclusive global production run of just 1,952 pieces, it serves as an exceptional, highly collectible example of avant-garde horology. Limited edition 1084/1952. 2006.

The present lot represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire the Omega Museum Collection N° 6 "Tonneau Renversé" (Reference 5705.30.01), a highly collectible masterpiece that perfectly bridges archival mid-century artistry with modern horological innovation. Originally launched in 2006 as part of Omega’s prestigious Museum Collection, this model is a meticulous, modern re-edition of a landmark 1952 Omega design defined by its avant-garde "reversed tonneau" case architecture. Masterfully executed in a contrasting two-tone configuration, the watch pairs an 18K white gold mid-case with robust, polished horizontal bezels in 18K red gold, creating a dramatic and highly sculptural profile on the wrist. Beneath the contoured sapphire crystal lies a radiant, sunburst champagne-gold dial punctuated by sharp dagger indices and a minimalist small-seconds sub-dial. Rather than relying on a historical caliber, Omega outfitted this limited edition with the modern Calibre 2202, a chronometer-certified automatic movement featuring the brand's revolutionary Co-Axial escapement. Produced in an exclusive, sequentially numbered run of only 1,952 pieces worldwide—a direct homage to the year of its source inspiration—this timepiece is a rare and sophisticated acquisition for discerning connoisseurs of uniquely shaped, limited-edition horology.
