SINGAPORE – Called off in 2023 due to questions over corporate governance and financial transparency, the 10th edition of Only Watch – the biennial auction dedicated to funding research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy – finally took place on May 10.
There was unexpected drama when Christie’s, the auction house hosting the event, became the victim of a company-wide cyber attack just hours before the auction began. The star of the night was Patek Philippe’s reference 6301P – a unique complication featuring a grande and petite sonnerie with minute repeater – which sold for an astounding 15.7 million Swiss francs.
The watch’s grand feu enamel dial, designed to be legible only to the wearer, and its hidden complications – the power reserve and moonphase are on the back – added to its allure.
