There are 24 Speedmasters in the March 21 2020 Geneva Sale at Antiquorum, but only seven of them interest us in that they are pre -78
The sale can be seen here
Of the Geneva Houses, Antiquorum consistently has the largest number of watches on offer, and these watches in the past have required more due dilligence than the others. I would rather see more watches on offer, less currated, than the narrow selection sometimes seen in other Houses.
As with any auction, the burden of inspection and verification must lie with the buyer. There will always be more potential issues in an Antiquorum sale given the sheer number of watches, but I do not hold that against them. remember auctions are agents, not retailers.
Lets put it another way, without knowing what was on offer, I would always choose to view the AQ sale if I had to choose only one. (Watches of Knigtsbridge in London is another house with a consistently good number and spread of watches).
On to the watches. A couple of notes. Estimates are all in Swiss Francs which are almost a par with the USD. Do not forget the added buyers premium. My observations are based at the moment only on the photos. If you are going to buy I strongly urge you to inspect the watches in person.
