On The Auction Block: Appreciation of Complications

About fourteen years ago, nearly a month shy of the 21stCentury, Sotheby’s held a historic sale highlighting the Graves Supercomplication pocket watch. Following a fervent bidding war by two anonymous bidders, the timepiece sold for a record-breaking $11,002,500. Come this November, the Graves Supercomplication is to be auctioned off at Sotheby’s for the second time.
