Largest Vintage Cartier Watch Collection to Be Sold by Sotheby’s

A record collection of vintage Cartier timepieces, spanning nearly a century of the maison’s most coveted designs, is being auctioned at Sotheby’s, with sales kicking off in Hong Kong later this month.

Entitled “The Shapes of Cartier: The Finest Vintage Grouping Ever Assembled,” the offerings are expected to fetch in excess of $15 million across the auction house’s sales in Hong Kong, Geneva and New York through December. It contains over 300 watches and represents a quarter-century of collecting by a single connoisseur who sought out the finest examples from each of Cartier’s historic ateliers in Paris, London and New York.
