The Geneva Watch Auctions from Phillips have become something of an institution in the horological world and the 10th occasion, poised to take place at the Hôtel La Réserve on 9 November, promises to be another fascinating affair, particularly with the addition of the counterpart sale titled ‘Double Signed: A Celebration of the Finest Partnerships of Manufacturers and Retailers’.
A Tiffany-dial Rolex Cosmograph Daytona, an Abercrombie & Fitch-dial Heuer Autavia, and an Astrua Torino-dial Patek Philippe – there’s an allure to these ultra-rare retailer-specific watches that stretches far beyond the company that manufactured it.
Join us for a trip through space and time thanks to "Double Signed", a thematic auction dedicated to the finest timepieces retailed by retailers around the world.
