Watch collecting is a funny pursuit, in that enthusiasts are both always in search of that next great thing and healthily skeptical of anything that they haven't seen before. When a watch is discovered that is unique, unusual, and properly documented, it's a perfect storm, and that's what we have here for you today. Phillips has announced that as part of its Geneva Watch Auction: Nine, taking place May 11, 2019, it will offer up a Vacheron Constantin minute repeater with retrograde calendar that, until recently, only existed in a single black-and-white photograph.
