Patrick Getreide’s watches, known as the OAK collection, will be auctioned off at Christie’s.
, which stands for One of a Kind, are either unique or from small series, some of them new-old stock. “My criteria for collecting the pieces [amassed over four decades] was that the watches had to be aesthetically beautiful and in perfect condition – like new, even if it’s 70-years-old,” Getreide told me in an exclusive interview during the London exhibit, adding that he paid “world record” prices 25 times during the process of acquiring his pieces.
“In the watch category, this could well be the largest collection that Christie’s has ever handled,” says Alex Bigler, head of watches for Christie’s Asia. “But some of the watches will start below $10,000, and some are in the $50,000 or $100,000 mark. There are pieces at all levels. It’s not just the million-dollar-and-above category.” Of course, there is that: there are plenty of grail pieces in the mix, including a one-of-a-kindRef.
