Seven days from now, one of the year’s most anticipated auctions will take place in Geneva – the sixth edition of Only Watch. Forty-four one-of-a-kind timepieces will go under the hammer at Phillips Watches, and are expected to raise in excess of 3.3 million Swiss francs (around $4.7 million) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

We chat to Phillips Watches’ International Specialist Paul David Maudsley about what makes these watches so special and go hands-on with Tudor’s first ever unique piece – the Black Bay One. Discover just why the steel Patek Philippe ref. 5016-010 is the Holy Grail for Patek collectors. We also examine one-offs by Kari Voutilainen and H. Moser & Cie, as well as a particularly flamboyant Hublot.

Check out our sneak peek of the entire collection (all except the Richard Mille, which is still strapped to Rafael Nadal’s wrist).
