Results from Sotheby's November 13, 2018 Geneva Auction

Not much analysis required here -- 10 vintage Heuers were included in the sale . . . five watches sold; five watches not sold . . . and that's not a good result.

You can see all 10 of the watches here -- http://www.onthedash.com/document/sothebys-2018-november-geneva/

The highlight of the sale was the Reference 2446 "Big Subs" Autavia, which sold for 31,250 CHF. The price for the 18 karat gold Carrera, Reference 1158, must have been a low, for recent sales. Perhaps the most interesting watch in the sale -- the two-register chronograph co-branded for Casa Masson . . . look carefully, and you will see a Pulsations scale on the dial. With the 7,500 CHF sales price, I am guessing that someone spotted this interesting feature.
