Christie’s Draws $1.8 Million for Watch With Leap-Year Calendar

Christie’s International Plc sold a Patek Philippe timepiece with a calendar that automatically adjusts to leap years for 1.94 million Swiss francs ($1.8 million), the day after a Sotheby’s auction of watches that missed the low end of its estimated range.

The watch was estimated to be worth 1 million francs to 1.5 million francs, according to the London-based auction house. Christie’s also sold a Breguet carriage clock made for the Queen of Naples for 723,000 francs, exceeding its high estimate. It will be displayed in the Breguet museum, according to Aurel Bacs, co-head of Christie’s global watch unit, based in Geneva.
