The Only Watch auction: See the dazzling highlights

From a titanium Patek Philippe to a Vantablack watch designed by artist Anish Kapoor, the one-of-a-kind timepieces up for grabs at the annual Christie's-hosted Only Watch auction are stuff horological

A one-off prototype model, Barbier-Mueller’s “MOSAIQUE” draws its visual identity from a decorative, 136-part, coloured jasper mosaic. The caseback cover — which includes a small, platinum disk at its centre and a continuation of the mosaic — lifts to reveal a F P Journe calibre 1304 movement. Between its technical elements and the artistry found on the dial, caseback and deployment clasp, many hours went into this piece’s production. 

Estimate: $115,000 to $208,000
