At its latest auction event, entitled “Important Collectors’ Wristwatches, Pocket Watches”, Antiquorum managed to top the previous reccord held by the Longines watch that belonged to Albert Einstein with a rare Patek Philippe platinum watch, which was sold for the astounding amount of $660,000.

There were 388 watches available at this auction, 75 percent of which managed to get a new owner living anywhere in the world, from Japan to Sweden and Taiwan.

“Our December sale was clear confirmation that collectors are continuing to enthusiastically buy high-end timepieces,” said Julien Schaerer, Auctioneer & Watch Director, Antiquorum USA. “Quality brands such as Patek Philippe are very much in demand, demonstrating the watch market has maintained its strength in spite of the recent economic downturn”
