Here a up and coming auction possibly the largest Vintage Patek Philippe collection of watches for auction, Christie’s auctioneers hosting the event on 11th July for 11 days. If your around in New York looking for a vintage Patek that is the place to be. The auction is named Arts of watches grand exhibition, the theme is both past and present and Patek history of horology. I think it is an exhibition that in turn becomes a auction for you to spend plenty of money.
Christie’s will be offering two ways to own your Patek Philippe Grand horological history. Firstly 85 pieces ranging from $5000 to $250,000 in a special online auction this starts on the 13th July. The second part is a special private sale where the stakes are much higher price ranging from $5000 to $5,000,000 where the buyer can buy some exotic vintage pieces from some famous owners from the past. The auction seems to cater for all types of buyers from the rich to not so rich and still get a museum quality history piece. Christie’s have arranged a private selling exhibition for the pieces that can bought on the day and viewed prior the main event at 20 Rockefeller plaza
They will also be a series of tours, watch making classes, lectures will support the sale and exhibition. So sounds like the place to be New York!!
