Paul Boutros, Deputy Chairman and Head of Watches, Americas, and Isabella Proia, Head of Sale and Senior International Specialist, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to present The New York Watch Auction: XIV, which brings together an extraordinary selection of collectors’ timepieces, spanning vintage and modern legacy brands alongside the most sought‑after watches from today’s leading independent makers. So many of these offerings are fresh‑to‑the‑market, appearing at auction for the first time, including our cover lot — the F.P. Journe Souscription Résonance No. 007, one of only two made in this configuration and one of the most important Journe timepieces to appear at auction. With this watch likely being the only example of its kind to ever be obtainable, this auction represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for our collecting community. Alongside the museum‑quality Patek Philippe reference 1518 in pink gold, we’re proud to offer a world class selection of Patek Philippe watches including a most probably unique Patek Philippe reference 5004G formerly owned by Eric Clapton, and an extraordinary selection of vintage and modern Nautilus examples coinciding with the iconic model’s 50th anniversary. We are delighted to present a remarkable trio of vintage Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas, including a fresh-to-market “John Player Special” ref. 6241, stainless steel “Panda” ref. 6263, and champagne ref. 6239 in 18 karat yellow gold. We remain deeply grateful to our clients who have entrusted us with these incredible watches and look forward to welcoming collectors to our worldwide exhibitions and to our auction room at 432 Park Avenue this June.”
