The New York Watch Auction: X by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo is full of the usual coveted icons, including a Patek Philippe Ref. 1518, a Rolex Daytona “John Player Special,” and a rare platinum Duality from the master of independents, Philippe Dufour. There are also some fun, more accessible collectibles in the sale. Two Cartier Crash models stand out for their unusual twists on an already unusual design (lot 98 has a burgundy lacquer dial, and lot 4 is a unique piece with green Roman numerals). And for those whose budget doesn’t include a Rolex “John Player Special,” there are two steel Rolex Paul Newman Daytonas in the sale estimated under the $500,000 mark. There are also a handful of Patek Philippe Nautiluses with estimates under $100,000. And just for fun, check out the rarely seen diamond-studded Vacheron Constantin 1972 model (lot 33) with dual time zones, with a high estimate of just $30,000.

Amidst some trepidation about sales in both the primary and secondary watch markets for 2024 (and mild panic over the website hack at Christie’s), the auction market in general seems to be ticking along. The Geneva Watch Auction: XIX held over the weekend by Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo, totaled $39,667,167, and Christie’s Rare Watches sale in Geneva reached just over $25 million. According to the Hammertrack report on 2023 watch auctions, sales were down 13 percent last year, but 2022 was a record year and this year is looking better, so staying the course in 2024 would be no cause for panic. Here are some of the newly added highlights on offer at Phillips New York Watch Auction: X on June 8 and 9.
