Koller Review 2024

20 The market for high-quality wristwatches is currently en- joying growing popularity and persistent demand. Particu- larly rare models from renowned manufacturers repeatedly achieve record prices and are not only collector’s items, but also an attractive investment. At each of our watch auctions, we present a carefully curat- ed selection of exclusive timepieces. A particular highlight was the December 2024 auction, a ‘white glove sale’ with- out a single unsold lot. The highest result of the year was achieved in June by a rare Patek Philippe ref. 1518 with per- petual calendar, which realised half a million Swiss francs. Our wide-ranging selection regularly includes exceptional pieces from leading brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Breguet and Lange & Söhne, which are also exhibited in advance in Geneva, Paris, Munich and Düs- seldorf. These are auctions for true connoisseurs and lovers of Haute Horlogerie! Patek Philippe. Double-signed Jumbo Nautilus. 1974. Stainless steel. Sold for CHF 150 000 F. P. Journe.
