On the occasion of the forthcoming Rare Watches auction organized by Christie's on November 11, 2024 at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva, Watch Certificate™ is proud to announce its involvement in this prestigious charity auction alongside leading names in watchmaking.
Each unique watch offered at this event, in aid of the European Leukodystrophy Association (ELA), will be accompanied by a watch passport donated by Watch Certificate™, guaranteeing their traceability.
As every year, the auction will feature watches of exceptional rarity and prestige, from iconic brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, F.P. Journe and Cartier, among others.
This time, one of the flagship sections of the event will be dedicated to a special collection of 11 unique models specially created and generously donated by renowned watchmaking houses, namely Andersen Genève x BCHH, ArtyA, Atelier Haute Complication, Bovet, Girard-Perregaux, Konstantin Chaykin, Louis Erard, Montblanc, Richard Mille, Swatch and Ulysse Nardin.
This exceptional collection will be sold without a reserve price, and each watch will be equipped with a tamper-proof digital passport provided by Watch Certificate™. This digital passport provides owners with total transparency on the authenticity of their timepiece and optimal traceability over the years.
Funds raised from this charity sale will go directly to the ELA association, dedicated to leukodystrophy research and support for families affected by these rare diseases. Watch Certificate™ is honored to contribute to this cause by offering a reliable solution that accompanies these collectibles and their future owners.
