Phillips, in association with Bacs & Russo, is set to captivate collectors and connoisseurs with its Geneva Watch Auction XXI on 10-11 May 2025. This landmark event will showcase nearly 200 exceptional timepieces, blending rare vintage treasures with contemporary horological artistry.
The auction highlights include extraordinary finds such as the only known pink gold Patek Philippe Ref. 3448, a newly discovered yellow gold Rolex Daytona Ref. 6264 “Paul Newman Lemon,” and a stunning pink gold Rolex Triple Calendar Ref. 8171. Among other notable pieces are a unique white gold Universal Genève Polerouter with handmade bracelet (with proceeds benefiting charity), the prototype of Konstantin Chaykin’s record-breaking ThinKing (the world’s thinnest watch), and an F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain featuring a rare ruby heart dial.
Prior to the auction, select highlights will embark on a global tour, making stops in London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai, Singapore, and Riyadh, allowing enthusiasts to admire these masterpieces in person. The full catalogue will be released in coming weeks.
