Auction house Phillips has organised a private selling exhibition alongside the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. The event at the city’s Ritz-Carlton was part of the company’s Perpetual initiative to give customers more opportunities to buy and sell both in and out of the auction season. About 15 sport-based timepieces priced 500,000 Swiss francs have been on show including a virtually unworn 1970s Heuer Autavia "Siffert" ref. 1163, named after the late Formula 1 driver Jo Siffert. The company said future events may also be timed to coincide with Formula 1 races.
