An astronomical Patek Philippe watch

For the ladies, July 20th will be dedicated to luxury leather goods with Hermès, Chanel and Louis Vuitton products. Later in the day, collector’s watches will be in the spotlight, including Celestial, a Patek Philippe wristwatch that, for many, will be the stuff of dreams. In 18-carat white gold, it displays a moving celestial map on its dial that indicates the position of the moon and its phases during the lunar cycle. The estimated price? Between €170,000 and €220,000.

An auction of archaeological finds will take place on July 21st. Among the 157 items on sale, buyers will be able to find, among others, Egyptian and Greek antiquities and antique jewellery. Finally, the summer session will end with an auction of modern paintings and sculptures at the end of the day. Pieces by Edgar Degas, Richard Guino, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Caesar will be among the lots.

All sales will take place in the Salon Bellevue of the Café de Paris, on the Place du Casino. For more information on the pieces and auction schedules, please visit the HVMC website.
