FOR THE LOVE OF PATEK

Patek Philippe produces titanium watches in exceptionally small numbers, which is why the latest announcement from Christie’s Hong Kong has caused such a stir. The auction house has announced two sales in July and November (dates are subject to change) that will showcase a single-owner collection in which the highlight is a one-of-a-kind titanium Patek. Christie’s Hong Kong has described the sale as the “most valuable single-owner collection ever offered in Asia” and estimates its total value at about US$12 million. Get your cheque books ready.
