The last couple of months in a calendar year are in general quite an enjoyable period of time for watch collectors of all sort, for this is the time when most of the major auction houses would be staging their season finale watch auctions, bringing to the market rare and collectible pieces. Christie's, being one of the handful of traditional auction powerhouses, is certainly not going to run short of amazing timepieces to go under the hammer at this time of the year.
With their "Important Watches Including NAUTILUS 40 Part III" auction - to be held on 28 November 2016 here in Hong Kong - around the corner, we did a little catalog flipping and pondered over the lots and picked 6 lots from 6 manufacturers which are, hopefully, less predictable. By doing so we wish to show you exactly how diverse a watch auction usually is, and how it's not always (just) about vintage Rolex Subs and (or) Patek perpetual calendars, for instance. Don't get me wrong, these are great. Nonetheless there are other gems that deserve some love, too. So let's get right down to it.
