Christie's sale of important watches held in Geneva on
May 9 2014 totaled SFR 23,823,225 (19,270,606 euros) with a Patek Philippe –
Platinium cushion-shaped minute repeating wristwatch with Breguet numerals made
for Henry Graves Jr. which sold for Sfr.1,205,000/US$1,340,804/EUR974,725
The very
strong results obtained for Geneva's Important Watches sale
confirmed once again the leadership of Christie's in the category of Watches at
auction, realising an increase of nearly 10% compared to last spring's sale
held on 13th May 2013.
The 435 pieces
offered in this auction attracted bidders from 30 different countries, present in the
room, on the phone or on the net via Christie's LIVE™
which saw a very strong registration.
Exceptional wristwatches, especially those manufactured by Rolex and Patek
Philippe, reached sky-high prices once again, such as the sophisticated unique
18K gold Rolex with very decorative cloisonné enamel dial which sold for SFr.1,097,000/$1,220,632/EUR887,363
and reached a new world auction record for any
Rolex sold at auction.
