\"Phillips
Phillips Watch Auction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Sunday, Phillips presents its first watch auction in years. Titled the \u201cGeneva Watch Auction: One,\u201d the event features a small selection of just 164 watches, but the caliber of pieces is of the highest standard\u2014a few rare timepieces could even break the $1 million mark.<\/p>\n

Last November, Phillips built out its watch department, hiring experts Aurel Bachs, a Patek Philippe and Rolex expert with a wealth of experience and knowledge from Christie’s, along with his wife Livia Russo and colleague Nathalie Monbaron. The three represent a trifecta of experts who will surely elevate Phillips reputation among watch collectors, and we\u2019re looking forward to see how they transform the brand. Until then, here are our top five favorites watches going up for auction this Sunday.<\/p>\n

1. Patek Philippe Stainless Steel Mono-Pusher Doctors Chronograph Reference 130 (Lot 123)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Patek<\/a>
Patek Philippe Stainless Steel Mono-Pusher Doctors Chronograph Reference 130<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of only two of its kind, this watch was originally made for twin Argentine brothers in 1927. As doctors (hence the name), the men needed functional steel chronos, so the watch comes in a steel case and features a sector dial and a mono-pusher movement. It\u2019s the ultimate collectors\u2019 piece because the companion watch can only be found inside the Patek Philippe museum in Geneva. With that rareness, this Patek could easily be one of the brand\u2019s most valuable. It\u2019s estimated to sell between $1,020,000\u00a0to\u00a0$2,050,000, but we think it will go for closer to $3 million.<\/p>\n

2. Rolex Ref. 6200 Explorer-Dial Submariner (Lot 172)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arguably the first planned Rolex Submariner, this piece was introduced at the 1954 Basel Fair and is easily one of the rarest Rolexes. Featuring an original unrestored “Explorer” dial, noted by the 3, 6, and 9 numerals, along with a rare “Small Logo” signature, the watch retains the bezel without the minute markers, the “Mercedes” hands, large “Brevet” crown and original dial. Experts estimate it will sell for between $205,000 and $410,000.<\/p>\n

3. Vacheron Constantin Reference 4178 (Lot 91)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vacheron

Estimated at $32,000 to $53,500, this Vacheron 4178 is one of the rarest we’ve seen, thanks to its well-maintained all-steel case. A quintessential Vacheron, this piece features a salmon dial, teardrop lungs, Arabic numerals and a crocodile strap. Dated 1947, this Vacheron 4178 is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n

4. Rolex Oyster Cosmograph “Albino” 6263 (Lot 214)<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Rolex Oyster Perpetual Triple Calendar Moonphase 6062 Black Dial (Lot 79)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rolex
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Triple Calendar Moonphase 6062 Black Dial (Lot 79)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A combination of rich American history and rare features make the Oyster Perpetual Triple Calendar Moonphase 6062 a collector favorite. First purchased at an Air Force Exchange on July 14, 1955, the watch was given to U.S. General Sweeney less than a month later. It comes accompanied by its original box, papers and timing certificate. Done in yellow-gold, this triple calendar moonphase has a particularly well-maintained case, but its hallmark (and the factor that could break it into million dollar range) is its unique black dial. It’s estimated at $320,000 to $650,000, but it will be no surprise if it goes for more.\u00a0 All images courtesy of Phillips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
