Lot Essay
For this second edition of the Watches for ELA charity auction, Tissot presents two unique PRX Powermatic 80 watches, specially created for 'Watches for ELA', one is in a 40 mm. size, the other in 35 mm. Each timepiece was produced as a unique piece, created exclusively for this auction. True to the identity of the PRX collection, both timepieces combine a satin-finished stainless steel tonneau-shaped case and integrated bracelet with an elegant 18-carat yellow gold bezel, calling to mind sunlight and adding warmth and radiance to these distinctive creations.
The stunning ‘waffle’ dials are green, a colour chosen for its symbolic significance, evoking hope and renewal. Both models offer a contemporary aesthetic and feature an interchangeable bracelet designed to fit any wrist. They are powered by the Powermatic 80 automatic movement, offering a power reserve of up to 80 hours.
Created in 1978 and relaunched in 2020, the PRX has established itself as a true icon of the Tissot brand, becoming one of its most emblematic and acclaimed models over the years. It embodies craftsmanship that has stood the test of time, making it the natural choice for the creation of these two unique and special pieces designed to spark the curiosity of collectors.
Through this initiative, watchmaking excellence becomes an act of solidarity. Tissot has placed its expertise at the service of a goal that transcends the measurement of time: helping to advance research into leukodystrophies and providing tangible support to sick children and their families.
