Sotheby’s will hold its next auction of Important Watches & Clocks on 6 December 2011 in New York, just in time for the holidays.

The sale will present a diverse selection of rare timepieces for both new and seasoned collectors, and has been curated to include some of the finest horological timepieces from the 18th century through the present day. An impressive group of Patek Philippe watches will be led by a recently discovered Reference 96 HU “Heure Universelle” world time wristwatch – one of the earliest and rarest world time watches known to exist (est. 400/600,000 CHF*). The timepieces will be on exhibition beginning this Saturday in Sotheby’s York Avenue galleries, alongside the auctions of Magnificent Jewels and The Elegant John Traina – A Portrait in Style.
