Antiquorum Auctioneers are looking forward to its December 13th auction of “Important Modern & Vintage Timepieces” at their US headquarters on Madison Avenue in New York City. There will be many exceptional horological highlights including a Patek Philippe Ref. 5016 with unique red and black dial as well as a magnificent Vacheron Constantin pocket watch with enamel dial of Lake Geneva. Previews will be held in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and New York.

The highlight of the sale is the Patek Philippe Ref. 5016 with unique red and black dial. Made in 1999, this is an extremely fine, unique and important, astronomic, minute-repeating, platinum wristwatch with one-minute tourbillon regulator, retrograde perpetual calendar and moon phases. It is accompanied by the Extract of the Archives, Patek Philippe winding box, setting pin and a leather folder with booklets.

The Vacheron Constantin enthusiast will be eager to acquire the Lake Geneva Vacheron Constantin unique 18K yellow gold and painted on enamel keyless dress watch offered in the sale. Made in 1945, this piece is an extraordinary example of a Vacheron & Constantin dress watch with a polychrome painted on enamel scene by Helen May Mercier depicting Lake Geneva. Mercier studied under Charles Poluzzi and examples of her work rarely appear at auction. This unique watch is being sold by the family of the original owner and has been kept in immaculate condition since its production over 60 years ago.
