Rolex - Geneva - Christie's - Hillary - Tenzing - Explorers und Freunde!

[philipp]

Liebe grüsse an diejenigen die in Genf waren :gut::gut::gut:


Whaooo, what a trip!! I never have been more nervous about going to Geneva auctions! ;)
It was super cool to see so many passion friends joining me on Saterdays HTE lecture!!
Normally i'm all relaxed, enjoying everybodys new stunners, discovering interesting
details or discussing vintage Rolex. This time the pressure was on me, and my team of
great friends that helped me achieving the fabulous result for the Hillary & Tenzing
Foundations. I loved checking out the watches for previeuw with Peter & Jamling, trying
to explain what exacly is going on in Geneva during the auction weekend. They both where
astonished seeing somebody bid 2,7 million for a watch for instance and enjoyed watching
everybody. Special thanks to Aurel Bacs & Nathalie Monbaron of Christie's for making it
all happen!

As it was quite hectical, I didn't make as much picture as normally. I was enjoying all the
special moments with my close friends but finally had time after the lecture to talk to all.
So here are some impressions I just worked out before preparing my trip to HongKong auctions

Wonderfull weather when I arrived...

HE's wearing besides his Explorer II also a unrestaured & still all original Orange Hand, given to his
father Sir E.Hillary by Rolex Geneva that was used during their Ocean to Sky Expedition.

Nice duo ;-)

RCO...

Personally I don't think orange & red go well together... a nice white faded or red 24hand would be cool.

Simply perfect in design...

Danke für das Teilhaben lassen, Philipp. Sehr interessant.

Noch interessanter dürfte die Aufklärung des Lünettenwechsels der OH sein, wie von Stephen beweiskräftig dargestellt.
