Master watchmaker Philippe Dufour reveals the secrets of his craft | Christie's Inc

Philippe Dufour, one of the world’s most respected and skilled independent watchmakers, has chosen to unveil and present a quite spectacular unique wristwatch of spellbinding beauty at auction at Christie's this November. It has been created as a one-of-a-kind piece exclusively for the purpose of raising funds for the Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour Foundation, a not-for-profit philanthropic foundation established by Mr and Mrs Dufour in 2023 to help address some of the world’s most pressing humanitarian needs. In particular, the foundation is open to supporting humanitarian, environmental, educational, or public health-related challenges the world over.
A unique wristwatch by Philippe Dufour is one of the most desired of all contemporary independently made timepieces and would be virtually impossible to acquire privately. For any admirer of the finest watchmaking, this incredible unique watch, made especially for this charity auction, is raised to an altogether higher level. Cased in platinum and featuring an hypnotically beautiful aventurine dial, this one-off ‘Simplicity’ wristwatch can unquestionably be considered as a Philippe Dufour masterpiece. Most significantly, and perhaps above all, it is a highly personal watch to Mr. Dufour himself, who has designed and overseen every aspect of its production right down to the smallest detail.
