The auction includes over 110 timepieces, ranging from the late 19th century to the present day, and features both wristwatches and pocket watches from renowned makers such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and Cartier.
Among the highlights is a Patek Philippe chronograph in platinum, reference 5170P with baguette-cut diamond hour markers, as well as a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar ref. 3940 in rose gold, one of the manufacturer’s most highly regarded perpetual calendars.
