Auction introduction: Sotheby’s New York is thrilled to offer an impressive selection of timepieces in our upcoming Important Watches live auction which will take place on 15 June. We are honored to showcase exceptional collections from numerous private collectors including part I of The X Collection, a comprehensive and prolific curation of over 170 wristwatches amassed by a single owner. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, this collection brings us over 50 Royal Oak models in never worn, museum quality condition, and largely complete with box and papers.
