Marking 50 years of Christie’s in Switzerland, our November Rare Watches auction will bring together over 200 vintage and contemporary pieces at the iconic Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva. Ahead of the sale, highlights will travel to Milan, Rome, Dubai, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Taipei from September onwards.
This season’s offering includes an exclusive Patek Philippe 2499 First Series. The watch, manufactured in 1952, is the only known example retailed by the brand’s sole distributor in Venezuela, Serpico y Laino, bearing the jeweller’s signature on the dial. A possibly unique and more recent iteration of the Patek Philippe 2499 chronograph will also be on tour, alongside fine timepieces from a distinguished Swiss collection.
We look forward to welcoming you to our viewings around the world and at our auction back in Geneva on 12 November. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information about the tour, or to discuss the market.
