Our first watches auction for the Autumn season will take place in Hong Kong tomorrow with our Important Watches live sale (9 Oct 4pm HKT/ 9am London/ 10am Geneva)! Today we revisit two of the leading lots - the PatekPhilippe split seconds chronograph Ref.1436 (Lot 2100) and the fpjourneofficial Tourbillon Souverain (Lot 2162). 1️⃣Arguably one of the most important gold reference 1436 to have ever appeared on the market, not only is the present example one of the 5 known pieces retailed by Tiffany & Co, it is also in an unpolished condition that is as close to original as the market has ever seen before. (Est. HK$4.6m – 7.8/ US$595k – 1m) 2️⃣The F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain is part of a highly sought-after limited edition series and is numbered 28 of only 99 pieces ever made. This limited edition series was finished with ruthenium both on the dial and movement and represents the final stages of the brass movement production of Journe watches. (Est. HK$2.6m – 4m / US$333k – 513k)...
