On November 28 and November 29, 2009, Patrizzi & Co Auctioneers held an auction of “Important Pocket Watches, Wristwatches, and Clocks”, and a “One Owner Collection of Vintage Heuer Wristwatches”.  The auction was held in Milan, Italy.

The sale was comprised of 292 lots, with the first 129 lots being the Heuer and TAG Heuer chronographs.  Prior to the sale, several of the Heuer chronographs were withdrawn, when the auctioneer came to learn that they were not authentic.  You can see the results of the auction here; at the time of the auction, the exchange rate between the USD and the euro was $1.4977 = 1.00 euro.
