It is a good piece of news, as auctioning some of these pieces would have given a very bad precedent for a house that aims at competing with the more established names. Prudently the online catalogue already showed some blanks that said info would be forthcoming.
This shows they were humble enough to recognize that some more digging work has to be done, because Patrizzi is a name that has to be trusted. There's probably no chance nor intention of this becoming Heuer's Omegamania, still this definitely is a step in the right direction: one thing is to auction a watch with, say, wrong hands or crown; an altogether different one is to auction something most experts deem unfit or questionable.
This of course does not offset the many errors to be found in the descriptions, but that's another story (and another thread here on Otd!).
The outcry here and on Vetroplastica, in some instances outright bashing, has decidedly worked, I daresay.
Cheers.
