The luxury market continues to be a major area of growth for the auction houses. Christie’s is holding its luxury sales week in Geneva, its biggest such event for jewelry and watches, and while the house hasn’t released its final totals for the week, early returns appear promising.

On Monday, Christie’s reported that its Rare Watches sale, held at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, generated $58.7 million on 218 lots with a 100 percent sell-through rate by lot. That’s more than double the equivalent sale in November 2025, which generated $27 million on 179 lots with a 99% sell-through rate.
