That Sold For Charity Last Year? Well, Here’s Where All $6.5 Million Went.

Every watch that comes up for auction has at least two specific stories to tell. There’s the history of the watch itself and then there is the small matter of the price it actually sells for, which can influence secondary market conditions and even provide a bellwether of popular interest in the specific watch, the collection as a whole, or even the brand itself. The winners are generally unidentifiable private individuals bidding over the phone or internet, and these stories conclude once the hammer – a proverbial curtain if there ever was one – has fallen.
