Meine Genfer Uhren Auctions Report....

[philipp]

With high expectations from both the auction houses and from collectors worldwide, many friends came to Geneva to witness Christie’s special 175 Patek Philippe anniversary sale making a total of Sfr. 19 million for the 100 lots offered. Sotheby’s responded on tuesday with their important sale of “The Graves” that sold just earlier for Sfr 20.6 million, for 1 lot. So logically everybody should be happy….or not??



The general consensus or lets say, my opinion, was that the average quality wasn’t good enough to convince connaisseurs paying for the strong estimates. We saw it happen at Christie’s Sunday evening PPC sale and it continued over their monday sale. That what wasn’t 100 percent original, perfect or crisp and untouched got hardly sold or didn’t even reach the lowest estimate. Many great results have been achieved, the high complicated Patek’s making millions, the controversial ROC Paul Newman sold, just like any other nice Newman higher then last edition. A regular 6263 Oyster Newman almost hit 300K sfr and nice white 6241′s are at 150K and more. Some 3000 watches where on sale but everyone is looking at the important ones and in the eyes of the spectators, these disappointed somehow. There was hardly firework as we have seen last 2 years therefor I think the auctioneers made a mistake in offering average quality with premium estimates as several Rolex & Patek didn’t sell this time to everybody’s surprise…

Sind Aurel Bacs' Pläne bei Phillips gemeint?

In Spring 2015, Phillips will roll out its international Watch auction calendar with two inaugural evening sales taking place in Geneva in May. The first of the two auctions will be a high profile various owners evening sale dedicated to the finest collectors’ pieces, spanning two centuries of watchmaking of unique quality, rarity and condition. The accompanying sale will be dedicated to one of the world’s most famous wristwatches: the Rolex Day-Date, also known as the President’s Watch. Phillips is honoured to partner with one of the most eminent scholars in the world of Rolex collector’s watches, Pucci Papaleo, who will publish in spring 2015 a tome dedicated exclusively to the Rolex Day-Date. The inaugural watch auctions will take place in Geneva on Saturday, 9 May at 7PM and Sunday, 10 May at 7PM.
