Founded in 2005, Only Watch has become one of the most important horological events of the industry, with many major brands and independent watchmakers donating watches, specifically created for the occasion and unique in their design, colours or even mechanisms. Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and at the initiative of Luc Pettavino – founder of the Association Monégasque Contre les Myopathies (AMM) – Only Watch is a biennial fundraiser, whose aim is to raise funds for research against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Since its creation, it has permitted to raise more than EUR 70 million, entirely given to research. Now in its 9th edition, with Only Watch 2021, it is 53 lots that will be auctioned, and here they are.
The lots will be auctioned in collaboration with Christie’s, for the third consecutive time, on 6 November 2021, at 2 PM (Geneva time), at the Four Seasons Hôtel des Bergues.
In the weeks preceding the auction, the watches will be presented to the public, media, and horological enthusiasts, during a promotional tour that will start on 22 September in Monaco, at the Monaco Yacht Show, and will end in Geneva on 6 November.
