Derek Pratt/Urban Jürgensen - Oval Tourbillon ----> at Geneva November auction, Phillips Watches

 Dear watch aficionado.

I have had the pleasure over the past decade of holding this extraordinary timepiece several times in my hands and to listen to all the stories. I wrote back in 2020 about the Derek Pratt Oval Tourbillon here on my blogg and to see it now coming at auction is certainly a very emotional moment for me too, as this watch stands for me for the very great relationship with my best friend and mentor Dr. Helmut Crott.

 It would be great to see this piece going to a great collector, who maybe has a great relationship with Helmut as well, and who appreciates this timepiece as much as Helmut did.
