COLLECTOR WATCHES
Our Department for Watches is delighted to announce the exceptional once a year watch sale at the Bellevue Salon in Caf� de Paris in Monte Carlo. Rare and exceptional pieces are going to be auctioned and will once more attract an international clientele of watch collectors. No wonder our expert Sophian Hamdi and his team are operating remarkably successful over the last years (+ 60% since 2006). Tajan is now the market leaders for watch auctions in France. The last years highlight was the record bid on the vintage watch �La borne de la Libert� by Cartier, which Queen Elisabeth of Belgium received as a present from G�n�ral de Gaulle. It got sold for the incredibly high amount of 390 817 Euros. All sorts of watches will be part of the auction, such as pocket watches, wristwatches, vintage watch models and many more. They will of course stem from the most established representatives of the world wide watch market.
