Recognized worldwide for its rigor and expertise, the auction house continues to push the boundaries in authentication and certification of luxury watches. This ambition is embodied by the renewal of its collaboration with Watch Certificate™, the essential standard for the certification of collector's watches.
Recently, at an exceptional auction in Geneva, Christie's presented one of the rarest watches in the world: a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, reference 1518, nicknamed "Pink on Pink".

The watch was certified by Watch Certificate™, guaranteeing bidders full documentation and seamless traceability.

Rémi Guillemin, Director of the Watch Department at Christie's Geneva, emphasizes the importance of this certification: "Using Watch Certificate™ for important collector's watches is an added value, both for the current owner and the future buyer. This is exactly what the new generation of collectors wants."
