All three were made by the master himself, Abraham Louis Breguet, during his most active period, from 1790 until he died in 1823.
At Christie’s, look for a Patek Philippe Reference 570G, an Audemars Piguet “Super VZ,” and a Rolex Cosmograph Ref. 6265 from auto-racing legend Carroll Smith in its online sale, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 13.
Also worth tuning into will be the Nov. 30 “Ruby Collection,” a Hong Kong sale of Patek Philippes from a single-owner private collection, highlighted by a pair of possibly unique (no one has ever seen them before) models: a perpetual calendar and minute repeater/tourbillon, both with ruby hour markers and estimated to sell for less than $1 million each. The collection also includes astronomical watches, including the ultra-complicated Sky Moon Tourbillon ref. 5002, with 12 complications, estimated to fetch from $1 million to $1.5 million.
