Wrist and Pocket Watches

Time is fleeting – but some watches are not.
They outlast generations, preserve memories, and tell stories that go far beyond the ticking of a movement. Wristwatches and pocket watches are more than precision instruments – they are expressions of style, history, and passion.

This catalog presents an exclusive selection from significant collections, with a special focus on legendary brands such as Rolex, A. Lange & Söhne, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Tag Heuer, Omega, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Each piece represents masterful craftsmanship and the fascination of watchmaking at the highest level.

Another highlight of this catalog includes selected items from the estate of actor Pierre Brice.

The watches presented here are not only rare objects – they are testimonies to a lived passion for collecting and reflect an era when time was still a precious commodity.

We invite you to immerse yourself in the world of these extraordinary timepieces – perhaps you will discover not just a new watch, but a piece of history.

All objects are pre-owned, may have been repaired and restored, are of considerable age, and have not undergone technical inspection. To ensure proper functioning, the offered items may require a paid service. For each item shown in this catalog, you can request a condition report if desired.

The export of items from Austria outside the European Union may be subject to separate customs and wildlife protection regulations. More detailed information must be obtained by the buyer from the respective competent offices and authorities of the relevant country. Dorotheum accepts no liability or guarantee for hallmarking eligibility in other countries.
