Important Watches: Featuring "The Chronicle Part 2" and "The Eternity" Collections

This autumn, Christie’s Hong Kong is poised to unveil an extraordinary selection of highly coveted timepieces. The auction will be graced by two iconic models: the legendary Patek Philippe reference 1518 in 18k gold, featuring a French calendar, alongside the impressive Rolex Daytona ‘Paul Newman’ model, reference 6239, an 18k gold chronograph adorned with a champagne dial.

Central to this distinguished auction are two significant private collections. Following the exceptional success of Part 1 of The Chronicle Collection this spring, which achieved a remarkable 100% sell-through rate, we are delighted to present Part 2. This exquisite assemblage predominantly highlights Patek Philippe watches, spanning from neo-vintage to modern complications, each piece a testament to the brand's unparalleled artistry and craftsmanship.

Moreover, we proudly introduce The Achievement Collection, a remarkable ensemble that epitomizes the collector’s ardor. Since the early 1990s, this collection has evolved into a veritable treasure trove of high-end mechanical watches, showcasing rare Patek Philippe complications and iconic models from Rolex to Audemars Piguet. Each timepiece is meticulously preserved, inviting discerning collectors to delve into the rich history and emotional resonance of these horological masterpieces.

As we approach this illustrious two-day auction, we extend an invitation to both seasoned collectors and newcomers to immerse themselves in the exquisite beauty and craftsmanship of these exceptional watches, many of which have never before graced the auction floor.
