And we continue with our coverage of the Phillips auction to be held this weekend in Geneva and this time with no other than Aurel Bacs, Head auctioneer of the house.
We will go over some Rolex watch, of course, but also an interesting and original Breitling Superocean, as well as a pilot Longines watch which probably never left its original box. But naturally we did include some Patek Philippe in this selection! Photos below.
Enjoy and Viva Watchmaking,
I could listen to Aurel Bacs talk about watches all day long! He's simply amazing at telling a story and his passion and love for watches shines through!
Edit: Not sure what's up with all the "never worn" description of watches that clearly look like they've been at the very least lightly worn.
Not sure why Marc didn't press Mr. Bacs on this.
Wow! That Rolex Daytona from Ayerton Senna is amazing!
Brilliant video. Us watch collectors dont just purchase watches to tell the time. For us this hobby gives us stories from why we buy a particular watch or where the watch comes from and also how it makes us feel when we wear it. That's why I watch this watch channel.
Makes us very happy to read this, thanks a lot!
Great episode as always!!The Longines is stunning.
The Patek Reference 530 is sublime- easily my favorite of the lot. The Longines is a fascinating piece- does seem odd that it wasn't worn (though it looks to have some wear). As always Marc, great work! And thanks to Aurel for bringing them to the show and sharing his stories. :)
Imagination captured by these incredible watches and the commentary.
The two last Patek Philippe models blew me away.... And Mr. Bacs is just a mine of knwledge, love to listen to him. Thanks for sharing this overview. Viva watchmaking!
You’re very welcome, thanks for watching!
Seeing these once in a lifetime examples is such a pleasure ... Thank you so much
I like the stories behind the watch owners makes it more interesting and this is a very important part of collecting. I think that having a watch that was owned by a historical figure greatly increases the value.
That Aurel Bacs is one smooth character. I was like a deer in the headlights.
If he talked it up enough, he could probably get me to buy a watch I already own.
Your show truly is top notch! Love the interviews, and the Baselworld coverage was great!
Bravooo Bravooo Bravooo... Thanks for sharing these amazing watches and stories!!!
Great video! Always really enjoy listening to Aurel, great narrator!
Mr. Aurel B what class and elegance, his way of describing the watch can make anyone pay a million dollars for an invicta, great job.
😂😂😂
It’s mesmerizing how the seconds hand on the Breitling Super Ocean beats away. Almost serene
Absolutely beautiful set of watches. It's almost like they belong in a museum.
Incredible pieces
It's like " I love watches... but I also love stories.. and the most I love money "
Magnifique
Unworn? Hardly think so, you could see a bunch of marks around the date pushers etc, but yeah, makes a good story monsieur Bacs ;-)
Exactly my thought. I saw some little scratches on the back too. Intendently from brushing or is it? Maybe gold faints over time?
Likely damage from movement and storage over all the years. It is also in a soft yellow gold.
Yeah they are definitely been worn but i guess its worn briefly and been keep ever since.
That guy is full of shit ... u can see he lying all the time .. espeiclalg when he says a few germans
For precious metal cases that old to be that minimally scratched means, the watch was barely worn, which, in auction terms is as good as never worn.
Remember these are collector's pieces at an auction, you won't get the same sales pitch like the one you get at a boutique store.
that Longines is a beauty!! Wow
The Longines is so nice.
Aurel on the 70s Patek:
"I want this watch to find a very very good home. An admirer, a male admirer of Catherine Deneuve"
Marc:
"I guess so."
LMAO. Marc your facial expression was priceless.
😉
The 8171 has obviously been worn.
Amazing video again ..
That's the video we were waiting for at this time of the year ! Thanks to you !
Viva watchmaking! #Perpetual
Superlatives... ;) Yes. However, the watches are in excellent condition, but not completely "unworn". The 5508 looks awesome and I have never seen a better one. The 8171 looks awesome and again, I have never seen a better one. Nevertheless, both have been very slightly worn and you can see clearly the traces of wear. Not sure why he is making such claims. I agree though that there may not be any better ones anywhere out there. Meanwhile, truly unworn means they have no traces of wear. I have watches that really have not been worn and they look different than these. They are also preserved differently and look really factory new even after 50 or more years.
What you really want to look for when examining the condition of a vintage watch is primarily overpolishing. You want to see sharp crisp edges and deep distinct hallmarks as these will come off during a sloppy polishing job. The watches in this video are in extraordinary condition and the minute scratches that some commenters have noted are really nothing to worry about. I would much rather see a watch with light scratches but unpolished than a shiny mirror polished one with deformed lugs and soft edges.
Amazing pieces! What a beauty that Senna Daytona 😻
4:56 Aurel, the type of guy who thinks alligators and crocodiles are the same thing 😂
The watches are just freaking amazing...that perpetual calendar Rolex could teach a thing or two in elegance and design to modern Rolex 👍🏻
Alligators and crocs both look exactly the same from the inside.
They should revamp the cellini with that same model setup. As a perpetual, it would be perfect!
3:44 It is not a perpetual calendar. It's a triple calendar. The word "perpetual" in a Rolex, I believe, refers to the automatic movement.
How do these watches get so scratched up if they have never been worn? Is this how they came from the factory or is it the way they were stored?
There are a few watches that were never warm, never used, kept in storage for decades....yet, in spite of being well protected, I saw “wear” on the dial, bezel, etc. The Patel for example.
Why is that? Are these watches that susceptible to the elements that even in storage they degrade? What does that say about their durability?
I am not belittle the makers or brands, but I do question.... thanks! As always love the videos!
Thanks and this is a good comment, but probably these marks occurred with various handling while not being in proper cases.
Aurel is PERFECT seller ;))
Oh yes ;)
Fascinating!
no wonder why the world is starving when we treat piece of metal precious.
Fantastic!
What a salesman. The Rolex submariner looks worn. Has many scratches on the back and on the crystal.
What a bullshitter you mean, 3 watches there that he said hadn't been worn that obviously have.
That last Patek he showed us is beautiful and I’d say it’ll go for more like 800-1mil
Could you imagine buying a second hand car off this guy you’d have to count your fingers if you shake hands with him!
lol i haven't heard that one before
This 8171 is beautiful ... it can compete with a Patek with eaz in my opinion ❣️
Love all those historical time pieces, just couldn't get enough exitment of those stories, mr.Mad like always u nailed it, hudge respect for mr Aurel as well. 👍🌟⏱
Amazing.....
Mr. Bacs' jacket sleeve buttons are bugging me. Back in the days you needed real sleeve button holes to be able to roll up your sleeves for work, hence the name work and surgeon sleeves. This has changed, and now a day it’s more about style than anything else. Some stylists say you should, as with the suit jacket, leave one button unbuttoned. This is truly a matter of taste; some like the style, some do it to show the world they have a tailored made suit, and others think its unnecessary and a way of "bragging". If you were to leave one button unbuttoned, it should be the button closest to the hand.
Interesting and detailed comment!
Although not related to the watches above, has the Angelus Tinkler been featured or has it come up in any auction recently? Thanks.
At 2:00, where is the "N" in "STAINLESS STEEL" ?? (In before 9315 "PATETED")
WOW!!!!!
What a guy
Watches full of scratches on the back and sides but - "never been worn" :DDD Amazing watches,smooth talker and few BS too ;)
i like the longines
NPA : 2
Looking for Patek 3449
"A big 38 millimeters."
Please, could somebody tell me what size is the watch at 15:30? And/or maybe its name? Thank you very much
Educate me. How can it have micro scratches all over the watch when it has no wrist time?
9:25 if those names were the other way 'round that watch would be the most expensive Rolex in history.
I’d estimate that Rolex with the alligator strap would sell for 1-1.2 million
quiero uno
🤔 where the hell is that super ocean "heritage" remake? I learned something new again, thank you!
Could well happen
Lewis Hamilton will bid on that Ayrton Senna watch.
Could happen ;)
no 4
I have a very rare casio from 1994
so many nice comments but to me it sound all totally absurd and like a big scam
Too bad I don’t have time to buy that last Patek Philippe.
Aurel Bacs is Romanian?
I think this gentleman has to reconsider the terms " Never worn" "Mint" and so on. Dont get me wrong, the timepieces are amazing but dont take the clients for fools and super-overrated the watches just to sell them. We are not that naive.

pour les montres des grands pères qui ne sont quasi jamais sorties de leur boitier, voici leur secret; ils ne les ont portées que quand ils eurent rendez vous galant avec leur plus belle et amoureuse maîtresse. C'est un vieux grand père qui vous le dit. Mon père qui était maître des élégances à Bruxelles m'en avait dévoilé les petites habitudes...😉
Ахуенные часы!
This guy talks can sell Casio for million dollar
I am a simple man. I see Patek Philippe and Rolex I hit dislike :) In fact this video has all 4 brands that I hate :)
Go Aurel!
