LOS ANGELES, CA — In a stunning validation of the growing convergence between Ultra Luxury horology and fine art, the Gudalii Baguette Verde Bluastro timepiece sold for $8,550,000 on Timetrader.app, setting a new standard for timepiece-as-art investment.
More than just a luxury watch, the Gudalii Baguette Verde Bluastro is being heralded as a sculptural asset—a one-of-a-kind creation that represents the future of wearable art and collectible investment. Designed by visionary James Lee Hardman Jr., this particular model is Spec #4 of the Gudalii Baguette Ultra Luxury Collection, a limited offering of 25 bespoke, 1-of-1 pieces, each tailored to its owner’s desires.
“Gudalii wasn’t created to follow the rules of traditional watchmaking,” said Hardman Jr. “We’re building legacy objects—physical art forms that appreciate in cultural and monetary value.”
The Gudalii Baguette Verde Bluastro features an entire sapphire crystal case, tourbillon movement, and an intricate fusion of rare gemstones, diamonds, and natural marble—materials more often found in royal regalia or private galleries than on the wrist.
Experts across both the watch and art sectors are calling this a pivotal moment for collectible timepieces. As traditional markets fluctuate, high-net-worth individuals are increasingly investing in unique, tangible pieces that combine craftsmanship with cultural value.
“Pieces like the Gudalii Baguette Verde Bluastro blur the line between asset and artifact,” noted one prominent collector. “This isn’t just a watch—it’s a statement of taste, a vault of value, and a generational heirloom.”
As Gudalii continues to craft ultra-rare, high-concept timepieces, the brand is quickly carving a new lane—where luxury isn’t just worn, but owned, exhibited, and appreciated.
