Christie’s Geneva Sale Realizes Over $21 Million
Christie’s Geneva sale of important watches generated an impressive $21,099,940, far exceeding the pre-sale high estimate of about $15.8 million. Nearly 370 watches were offered with 96% selling by value and by lot. The sale included “A Connoisseur’s Vision, Part II”, and along with the “Connoisseur’s Vision Part I” group offered this past November, the two sales represent the most important private Patek Philippe collection ever offered at auction, and the most expensive collection ever sold.The sale set an attendance record with 831 bidders from 5 continents. An additional 250 bidders participated online. The top lot in the sale, number 84, was a unique Patek Philippe ref. 1527 perpetual calendar chronograph with moon phases produced in 1943, and at $5,708,833, it set a world record for any yellow gold watch ever sold at auction.

Oils
Need some help with oils. There are 5 different oils needed for servicing a 3135. I see that Moebius will come to over $100. Are there alternative synthetics that are just as reliable at a lower cost? I plan on attempting a full service on My LV in the next couple of months. I have faith in myself. Thanks in advance TRF!
