Important Watches: Featuring "The Collectibles" Part 2 | Live Auction | 27 October
Christie's will proudly conduct the sale of exceptional watches as a part of its inaugural auction events at its new Asia-Pacific headquarters, which is located at The Handerson, Hong Kong.
Listed for this special auction are some of the most complicated and sought-after horological wonders by the world's greatest watchmakers. Collectors thus will get a rare chance to acquire unique masterpieces, including several models that have never been seen before at auction.
Headlining the sale is a possibly unique and sensational Patek Philippe ref. 1518. The reference 1518 is one of the rarest and most historically important Patek Philippe watches. Made in 1951, this 18K pink gold wristwatch comes complete with a timer and perpetual calendar. Only 58 such timepieces have ever been made in human history. Of the 45 pink gold examples publicly known today, the one at the upcoming auction stands out because it is the only known with signed 'Fab. Suisse' (Made in Swiss).
Another exceptional highlight is a Rolex Deep Sea Special that can withstand unimaginable external pressures of the ocean. Other examples of this extremely rare model are permanent exhibits at the world's most prestigious technical and horological museums. Also at the centre stage of the auction is "The Collectibles", which comes from a remarkable single-owner collection. Included in the collection are modern, neo-vintage complications, limited editions and rare handcrafted timepieces from revered brands like Patek Philippe, Rolex, F.P. Journe and Audemars Piguet.
The auction also includes a dazzling selection of spectacular timepieces from Richard Mille, such as the one-of-a-kind RM018 with lapis lazuli wheels as well as a rare platinum F.P. Journe Chronometre ? Resonance.
This event therefore is a must-not-miss for watch enthusiasts and collectors, as it promises to bring them to the masterpieces of the horological realm.
