Wristwatches & Pocket Watches

More than half of the luxury watches sold in the world today come from Switzerland, and the principal brands nearly all proudly display the "Swiss Made" label. As the largest Swiss auction house, it naturally follows that we organize dedicated auctions for rare wristwatches and pocket watches. Men’s wristwatches from major brands from the 40s, 50s and 60s are by far the fastest-growing category in these sales, led by Patek Philippe, and closely followed by vintage Rolex, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, Audemars Piguet, IWC and Breguet watches, all of which are regularly featured in our auctions.
