On Monday November 14th the Geneva important watch sale of Christies will be held at the Hotel Des Bergues. The team of Christie’s did a great job finding some serious rare and nice examples for their sale. Besides the normal offers, Christie’s is honoring the Patek Philippe Nautilus for it’s 40th anniversary with a special sale dedicated to this iconic model designed my master brain Gerald Genta. But before I show you some highlight from that sale, I like to start with the vintage Rolex offers on sale.
- Stainless steel black dialed Rolex Ref 2508 with olive shaped pushers. The same Christie’s sold a similar example with serial number 037651 for a steady CHF 341.000 last year at their May 2015 sale in Geneva, following this link to the auction.
- Next is this legendary Rolex Big Crown Ref 6200 thats estimated conservatively for $100-150.000,= and for sure will go higher.
