Patek Philippe

My great-grandfather’s tarnished pocket watch meant nothing until it was painstakingly restored and beating again. Now it’s priceless.

To toast 175 years since its founding and 30 years since its revival, Lange is adding new models to the Saxonia line.

Plus, two rare ruby-accented Patek Philippes that also sold for over $1 million.

The art giant owned pieces from the likes of Patek Philippe and Cartier.

But Audemars Piguet and F.P. Journe also had six-figure lots.

The Ref. 6301P takes cues from the Grandmaster Chime but in a new pared-down design.

Philippe Dufour’s $1.5 million Simplicity 20th Anniversary Watch was the highlight.

Together with the rest of the lots, the sale totaled over $28 million.

Some of the biggest names in horology are making watches as complex as they are wearable.
