This article is for subscribers only.
Christie’s International will hold its first auction in mainland China tomorrow, featuring Patek Philippe watches, a Picasso and bottles of Chateau Latour in the newly created Shanghai Free Trade Zone.
The sale, the first of its kind for a foreign auction house in China, doesn’t include porcelains, paintings or ceramics, as foreign companies are barred from dealing in cultural relics.
