Watch auction houses are making the news more often these days, thanks to the tickers and the high prices they command. Here are some of 2018’s best sales across the world.

Phillips is honouring the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watch owned by its original designer by putting it up on auction on its 25th anniversary.

While this isn’t the first McQueen watch up for auction, this might be the best yet.

The 1815 Homage to Walter Lange wristwatch auctioned for US$ 852,414 – the highest result at auction that a Lange wristwatch has ever achieved.

The Phillips auction house adds the Rolex Daytona Reference 6265 to its increasing momentum of exceeded estimates and shattered world records with a closed sale of $5.9 Million – Second most expensive Rolex to be sold at an auction.

This unique Daytona is expected to make in excess of CHF 3 Million when Phillips debuts the watch for the first time during the ‘Daytona Ultimatum’ sale in Geneva.
