With all the chaos of Baselworld and the year's newest releases, it's easy to forget that auction season is close on the horizon. Each spring, all the major auction houses will host sales—and with the way things have been going in recent years, we can almost certainly count on new records being set, never-before-seen watches being brought to market, and new trends developing. Kicking things off on Monday, April 2, is Sotheby's, which will be hosting its 423-lot watch auction in Hong Kong. The hefty catalog contains a lot of great pieces at all price points, but there are four watches from Patek Philippe that truly stood out. Each could be a cover lot and each has a story to tell. Let's take a look.
