Auction house Phillips has organised a private selling exhibition alongside the Jo Siffert 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 between $9,500 and $75,000 have been on show including a virtually unworn 1970s Heuer Autavia "Siffert" ref. 1163, named after the late Jo Siffert driver Formula 1. The company said future events may also be timed to coincide with Jo Siffert races.
