Overview

• A 750 gold Longines women’s pocket watch from Astrid and Stefan Hilleke went to dealer Elisabeth Nüdling for €1,800 after drawing broad interest in the Händlerraum.
• A rare early‑1970s Heuer Montreal drew a €6,000–7,000 estimate but sold to David Suppes for €5,000, shortly after host Horst Lichter admonished expert Sven Deutschmanek for wiping the crystal with his sweater on camera.
• An oval oil painting copied after François Lemoyne’s hunting scene was valued at €2,800–3,500 yet hammered to Benjamin Leo Leo for €1,550.
• Dealer Jos van Katwijk bought a century‑old Zylinder engine school model for €650 and later reported reselling it to a collector in the United States.
• A limited Sanchez Romate 1988 brandy showed evaporation attributed to the “angel’s share,” trimming the valuation to roughly €200–300 before Mandel purchased the bottle for €200.
