Also sold was the Matheson collection of Swiss and American pocket watches.

"Demand remained strong for those watches that are exciting, fresh-to-the-market 'one-owner' pieces that have not been discovered and passed through the hands of collectors," said Justin Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd.

The circa 1995 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Triple Date watch (Ref. 25808ST) was the top lot of the auction. Crafted with stainless steel, its refined form was punctuated by an octagonal bezel, while its triple-date complication added practical sophistication. The watch was a statement of understated luxury and impeccable taste, well deserving of top lot honors.

The Rolex Submariner watch (Ref. 16808) was the sale's runner-up top lot. It featured an 18kt yellow gold band and case plus box and papers. The Rolex Yacht-Master watch (Ref. 268655) sported an Oysterflex strap that added a playful touch to its luxurious 18kt Everose gold case.
