The sale will also include a timepiece from musician and famed watch collector Eric Clapton, a Perpetual Calendar that has not been in the public eye for two decades.
“Geneva is the confluence of all that counts in the small but vastly exciting world of exceptional modern and vintage watches, with the legitimacy that comes from being home to the most fabulous watch marques, to mention only Patek Philippe, and Rolex,” says Rémi Guillemin, head of Watches of Christie’s Geneva.
The sale is also the first stop of Christie’s Kairos Collection, which has a 128 Patek Philippie timepieces in its lineup. The Geneva event will sell 30 of these pieces.
Gullemin says that the “showpiece of the sale will undoubtedly be this fantastic yellow gold trilogy, 3 Rolex Daytonas never seen before together and at the same time at auction.”
These watches are: the 6269 ‘Jack of Diamonds’ (low estimate at $1.18 million), the 6264 with ‘Tropical Lemon Paul Newman’ dial, and the 6241 with ‘Champagne Paul Newman’ dial.
Here are the highlights of the upcoming sale:
