Phillips Geneva Watch Auction: SEVEN 13 May 2018 Omega wristwatch which was owned and worn by Elvis Presley Sotheby’s Important Watches 13 May 2018 Christie’s Rare Watches 14 May 2018
In the coming days Geneva will host a number of important auctions of fine timepieces from Christie's, Phillips and Sotheby's.

The number of lots is huge so here we can only highlight a few pieces - not necessarily the most important - and provide you with the links to the detailed on-line catalogue of each auction.


On May 12, Phillips will hold Daytona Ultimatum, a thematic sale offering 32 very rare Rolex Daytonas , including a vintage white gold Cosmograph Daytona, reference 6265, also known as “The Unicorn” for being the only known Cosmograph Daytona cased in white precious metal.


Rolex Daytona 6265 "The Unicorn" on sale at the Daytona Ultimatum Geneva watch auction

This rare model was manufactured in 1970 and delivered in 1971, made upon special order for a German retailer. The crown, which is a different colour to the case and pushers, is made from stainless steel, not gold. The bracelet is not the original one.

Expected to make in excess of Swiss Francs 3 Million, this Daytona will be sold for the benefit of Children Action, a foundation dedicated to helping the lives of youth around the world. Suggested reading: "The history of the Rolex Daytona".

The Daytona theme sale will be followed by The Geneva Watch Auction: SEVEN. Taking place over two days, the sale will feature approximately 200 lots led by two Patek Philippe models, a reference 2499/100 in yellow gold with a champagne dial and a worldtime reference 1415 dating back to 1949 in a 31 mm yellow gold with a cloisonné enamel dial representing the map of Eurasia. Its estimate is Swiss Francs 700,000 - 1,400,000.

Also offered in this sale will be two Rolex’s Reference 6062 triple calendar with moonphase. Our favourite is lot 180, a rare example from 1953 in a 36 mm stainless steel case framing a two-tone dial with moon phase display. Estimate: Swiss Francs 700,000 - 1,400,000.

Together with an important selection of rare Breguet wristwatches, coming from different private collections, Phillips will also presents an Omega wristwatch which was owned and worn by Elvis Presley, a gift that he received from RCA Records to commemorate his remarkable achievement of having sold 75 million records. This timepiece will be on sale with an estimate of Swiss Francs 50,000 - 100,000.

  1. The estimate of the Daytona is senseless. No guarantee of an integer and original piece and with a crown in steel! Come on! At least it is good to know that funds raised from its sale will help a charity.
