As we've reported Antiquorum is holding two exciting auctions of fine timepieces in September. The later of the two is a charity auction in the cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but the former is a more typical auction starring a Patek Philippe 2499.
Their experts are also pleased to offer an exquisite set of two Breguet souscription watches made in the late 1990s.
The Souscription set consists of: A platinum minute-repeating wristwatch with perpetual calendar, phases and age of the moon, and leap year indication, and a platinum self-winding pocket watch with 45 hour power reserve indication, instantaneous calendar, phases and age of the moon.
This fabulous set is accompanied by a special fitted wooden winding box, 30cm platinum chain, platinum magnifying glass and two platinum tools. It is estimated at $120,000-$140,000.
