William (left) with Christie's International Watch Department Head Aurel Bacs (right)& A Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 (middle)Christie's, the renowned auction house, will have yet another "Important Watches" auction event in Geneva on November 11, 2013. Here in New York, I personally received a special preview. I was excited when my good friend, John Reardon (Senior Vice-President, Head of Christie's New York Watch Department), invited me to today's preview event. From past experience, I knew that I would have the chance to see and touch some of the world's finest timepieces which once again equates to a lot of Patek Philippes and Rolexes.While taking in the watches (more on that later) John introduced me to Aurel Bacs, the Head of Christie's International Watch Department.
