Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake – "Glacier Blue" – Stainless Steel – Full Set – Bj-2023 - New-Like Condition

We are proud to present this breathtaking Czapek Antarctique Passage de Drake, featuring the mesmerizing "Glacier Blue“ dial - a timepiece that represents the pinnacle of modern independent watchmaking and the "sport-chic" integrated bracelet aesthetic. This particular piece, dating to 2023, is a masterclass in texture, light, and mechanical transparency.

Housed in a 40.5 mm stainless steel case, the Antarctique is celebrated for its sleek, ergonomic profile and the fluid transition into its remarkable integrated bracelet. The defining characteristic of this example is the "Stairway to Eternity" fluted dial in a striking Glacier Blue. This proprietary trapezoid motif creates a dynamic play of light, shifting from a soft crystalline frost to a deep aquatic azure depending on the angle, making it one of the most visually engaging dials in contemporary horology.

The watch features the refined "Czapek" stylized Arabic "12" and luminescent steel markers, offering perfect legibility against the complex textured background. Every surface of the case and bracelet displays a meticulous alternation of brushed and mirror-polished finishes, highlighting the sharp, architectural lines that have made the Antarctique a cult favorite among serious collectors.

Powering the watch is the spectacular in-house Calibre SXH5, Czapek’s first completely proprietary automatic movement. Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the movement is a work of art, featuring seven skeletonized bridges reminiscent of 19th-century pocket watches and a fully recycled solid gold micro-rotor. With a 56-hour power reserve and a powerful, modern architecture, it performs with the precision and reliability expected of a high-end manufacture.

The watch is fitted with its incredibly comfortable integrated stainless steel bracelet, featuring the "C" link system and an easy-release mechanism. Accompanied by its original box and papers from 2023, this Passage de Drake represents a rare opportunity to own a sold-out piece of independent haute horlogerie in exceptional condition.

This Czapek Antarctique is offered as a set, including:

- Original presentation box and outer box

- Original warranty certificate and manual, 2023

- Additional Czapek rubber strap with folding clasp

- Integrated stainless steel bracelet with all links

- Original Czapek Passport

“This Antarctique Passage de Drake in Glacier Blue, in new-like condition, is the ultimate expression of the modern integrated sports watch—combining a world-class in-house movement with a dial texture that is quite simply unlike anything else in the industry.”
