With high expectations from both the auction houses and from collectors worldwide, many friends came to Geneva to witness Christie’s special 175 Patek Philippe anniversary sale making a total of Sfr. 19 million for the 100 lots offered. Sotheby’s responded on tuesday with their important sale of “The Graves” that sold just earlier for Sfr 20.6 million, for 1 lot. So logically everybody should be happy….or not??

The general consensus or lets say, my opinion, was that the average quality wasn’t good enough to convince connaisseurs paying for the strong estimates. We saw it happen at Christie’s Sunday evening PPC sale and it continued over their monday sale. That what wasn’t 100 percent original, perfect or crisp and untouched got hardly sold or didn’t even reach the lowest estimate. Many great results have been achieved, the high complicated Patek’s making millions, the controversial ROC Paul Newman sold, just like any other nice Newman higher then last edition. A regular 6263 Oyster Newman almost hit 300K sfr and nice white 6241′s are at 150K and more. Some 3000 watches where on sale but everyone is looking at the important ones and in the eyes of the spectators, these disappointed somehow. There was hardly firework as we have seen last 2 years therefor I think the auctioneers made a mistake in offering average quality with premium estimates as several Rolex & Patek didn’t sell this time to everybody’s surprise…
