Patek Philippe And Art Deco Clocks And Watches At Patrizzi & Co Auction
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches, Auctions
Now that the season's big Antiquorum auction is over, Patrizzi & Co. are ready to offer a few more interesting lots in their auction on April 17 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Geneva Switzerland. The auction event titled "Watchmaking Masterpieces" will offer a modest volume of not so modest timepieces. Items include clocks, pocket watches, and wrist watches. Most of the offerings are rare Patek Philippe watches, while the entire collection seems to have an art deco theme.
Pictured above is a Boucheron art deco table clock from about 1921. The clock is in gold and black enamel on mostly rock crystal (very hard to cut). This piece is estimated to go for 80,000 - 100,000 Swiss Francs at auction. Other notable lots include a yellow gold Patek Philippe Ref. 5024 minute repeater from 1997 (estimated to go for 250,000 - 300,000 Swiss Francs), and a yellow gold Patek Philippe Ref. 2438-1 from 1953 (also estimated to go for 250,000 - 300,000 Swiss Francs). The auction results will be testament to the current strength of the watch collector market.
