Due to the Covid-19 emergency, international auction houses organised themselves with web platforms to continue to offer collectors valuable and valuable pieces. One of these is Sotheby's, whose sale concluded on 26 March totalled CHF 2,387,875. Among the 185 lots on offer, there were top lots announced as two Patek Philippe watches: the Ref. 5711, from 2016, and the Ref. 5712, with power reserve, date and moon phases, both sold for the same sum of CHF 75,000. Also among the accessories was a cork box of the Nautilus first series, circa 1980, which fetched 17,500 Swiss francs. The London auction house also inaugurated a new type of weekly sale which in April, with a Nautilus Ref. 5711 in platinum with a jeans blue dial, which fetched $484,000, set a world record for an online auction. In the week of 29 April to 6 May, a Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5712, the auction's top lot, was auctioned for €66,700.
