Dubai

Christie’s in Dubai is a stronghold for developing successful relationships with our clients throughout the Middle East. Under the leadership of Dr. Ridha Moumni, Deputy Chairman, Christie’s Middle East and North Africa, and Meagan Kelly Horsman, Managing Director, Christie’s Middle East, who both joined the leadership team for the region in 2022, Christie’s Dubai is the global hub for exceptional timepieces and Middle Eastern 20th and 21st Century Art, with a strong presence in the desirable gallery location of the Dubai International Financial Centre.

Our biannual Dubai Watches auctions consistently achieve exceptional results, with an average sell-through rate of 92% by lot. In April 2021, we sold a rare Patek Philippe Ref. 5002P-001 Sky Moon Tourbillon for an impressive US$1.6 million. It remains the most expensive wristwatch ever sold at any auction in the Middle East. More recently, we sold a Richard Mille RM69 for US$1.5 million in April 2023 and a unique Patek Philippe Ref. 3843-1G for US$880,000 in October 2023. Christie’s is proud to be an official partner of Dubai Watch Week, where we offer a range of events including lectures, panel discussions, workshops and exhibitions. This important event in the industry calendar takes place every two years.

As a response to the growing international appetite for Middle Eastern 20th and 21st Century Art, our specialist team has established a strong presence in both Dubai and London, with an annual online auction taking place during Frieze Week every October, followed by a live auction in November. Alongside extraordinary works by modern masters and contemporary icons, we are renowned for offering distinguished private collections, including the Dr Mohammed Said Farsi collection in 2010, one of the most prestigious Egyptian art collection ever to come to the market or more recently the Orin and Rita Parker Collection of Modern Iraqi Art, offered in November 2021.

In addition to our regular auctions, Christie’s supports educational opportunities and academic initiatives, holding exhibitions and seminars throughout the region.

We are actively seeking consignments in all collecting areas to our upcoming auctions, in Dubai and internationally. Our team of specialists are unrivalled in their experience and expertise, and are here to advise on how to best position your art or object — either by auction or private sale. If you are interested in selling with Christie’s, please do not hesitate to contact us for a free and confidential valuation of your collection.
