Phillips New York Watch Auction XIV Achieves $75.8 Million
On June 14, 2026, Phillips reported that its New York Watch Auction XIV achieved $75.8 million. The result marked five and a half consecutive years of 100%-sold white glove live watch auctions for Phillips New York. The house sold three watches for over $10 million in a single season across all three continents. An F.P.Journe Chronomètre à Résonance “Souscription, No. 007” realized $13.9 million, the highest result of the spring season across the industry, while 16 watches sold above $1 million with multiple world records set for Voutilainen, Roger Smith, Urban Jurgensen, and Patek Philippe.
The Signal
The sale reinforces Phillips’ position as the leading venue for ultra-high-end watches, with independent makers driving the top prices and indicating sustained collector appetite for rare, record-setting pieces. The global distribution of seven-figure results across three continents suggests diversified demand that could support continued price growth for top-tier examples in upcoming seasons.
