Sotheby's Hong Kong - Spring Sales 2008 Sotheby’s Hong Kong is proud to announce that its Spring Sales 2008 will be held at the Grand Hall of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre from 8th to 11th April 2008.
5029J (est. HK$2.2–3 million) will also be on offer. This rare
minute-repeating chronometer was developed by Patek Phillipe
in 1997 for the opening of their new factory in Geneva. Only
30 pieces of 5029J were produced, and 10 of which were in
gold, emphasizing the exceptional rarity of the present lot.
The
piece is exquisitely cased in the officer-style by Jean-Pierre
Hagmann, Master case maker for Patek Philippe. The
distinctive champagne-coloured dial adds lustre to this
extremely rare commemorative piece.
* Estimates do not include buyer’s premium.
** The Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asian Paintings Sale was previously held in
Singapore for 12 years.
