@Sothebys Amazing!

A map of the ancient world, artfully rendered in mid-century Geneva. This Patek Philippe Reference 605 HU is the only known example of its kind, placing it among the most significant world time pocket watches ever created by the Swiss maison. Manufactured in 1948 and sold in 1954, it stands as a compelling emblem of the brand’s mid-century ingenuity and savoir-faire. The dial center, exquisitely executed in cloisonné enamel, depicts the “Ancient Continents” — a scene seldom encountered, even among the most seasoned collectors. Heading to #SothebysHongKong’s “Important Watches” live sale on 24 April, the timepiece will make its auction debut after decades in private hands. It is estimated between HKD 10,000,000–20,000,000. Luxury Week is presented by Standard Chartered.
