AUCTION DETAILS
READ: Dedicated Catalogue for The Schmid & Muller Swatch Collection
Set to raise enthusiasm among collectors across all categories from vintage to modern wristwatches, including a nice selection of minute repeating timepieces from the early 20th century, the Geneva November auction will be highlighted by the unique Swatch collection from the original designers of the first Swatch models. The sale will also comprise some essential professional Rolex models as well as some of the major contemporary Patek Philippe references.
Sotheby’s is also honoured to present in collaboration with IWC Schaffhausen the Pilot’s Watch Double Chronograph Edition “Le Petit Prince”, to benefit the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation. This unique piece features a rather whimsical star mechanism on the dial, which represents “The Little Prince’s” journey before reaching earth, visiting other planets and meeting some odd characters.
