Today we kick start the Autumn sale season with a sale celebrating both the heritage brands and independent watchmakers. The sale was led by one of the most important gold Patek Philippe Ref. 1436 to ever appear on the market, and was further complemented by the exceptionally strong performances with Philippe Dufour and F.P. Journe, two of the most prominent independent watchmakers in the field. We look forward to meeting our collectors again in the upcoming London,New York and Geneva sales.
