Beginning of Sale
Dear Loyal Fans and Followers, We are very proud and excited to present our third and largest Important Watches sale ever. We invite you to join us live in our Fifth Avenue showroom in New York City on December 6th for what will be a truly exciting experience! If you are unable to join us in person, we welcome your participation on the phone or online, via our website or free mobile app. Coming off of a wildly successful Important Watches auction in September, which achieved a remarkable sell-through of more than 95%, the challenge to maintain the momentum and continue to exceed expectations at every auction—a hurdle that would be nothing short of unnerving to most—has been met with the same fearless spirit that made Fortuna a leader in the jewelry industry overnight. With a well-established reputation for excellence and an unprecedented focus on principles and ethics, Fortuna is quickly making a name for itself in the watch community. With every watch auction Fortuna’s fanbase has grown exponentially. No better metric conveys this growth in the watch industry than the fact that Fortuna had more than 600 bidders in almost 50 countries participating in the September Important Watches auction, which consisted of 66 lots. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Fortuna’s business model to new bidders is the stance that Fortuna takes on opening lots with clear starting bids, at which watches can be purchased, which is a departure from the traditional auction houses who have reserves shrouded in secrecy and use false bidding action to conjure a fabricated sense of momentum. Fortuna has eyes set on conquering the watch auction industry in the same fashion it is doing in the jewelry
| 8 |
industry, and has garnered a large following already by adhering to principles that have been so unfortunately absent in the industry. We are proud to offer such a diverse variety of brands, eras, and models in this auction. This Important Watches auction features a number of remarkable lots that are sure to attract attention from a variety of collectors, including some remarkable vintage Rolex watches such as a Daytona reference 6240 with tropical registers, a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Milspec dive watch originally issued by the U.S. Navy that is fresh to market and came from the son of the original Navy diver, and an OMEGA Apollo-Soyuz Speedmaster consigned by the original owner with accompanying guarantee card from time of purchase. In addition, we are honored to present “A Collector’s Passion: Part 1” comprising 32 watches coming from the collection of Gregory Selch, a furniture designer based in New York. Mr. Selch has developed a sizable and important collection of eclectic and rare vintage and modern watches across brands and types, and he is excited to share his passion with other watch collectors. December is a magical time to be in New York. We hope you will share a moment of your holiday season with us on December 6th. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, suggestions or potential consignments—just drop us a note at: watches@fortunaauction.com We wish you the best of luck bidding, and health and happiness to you and your loved ones! Happy Holidays from the team at Fortuna!

The 3800 measures 37 mm compared to its bigger brother, reference 3700, measuring 42 mm. This makes the 3800 wearable by both men and women, the perfect unisex watch. The current example is adorned by a diamond bezel and is presented in its original worn yet unpolished condition. A beautiful Christmas present for anyone on your list!

Breitling Chronomat Chronograph Ref. 808 in Steel CIRCA: 1960s REF.: 808 CASE NUMBER: 1072732 CASE MATERIAL: Steel CASE DIMENSIONS: 36 mm diameter DIAL: Silver finish with steel baton indices BRACELET MATERIAL: Leather strap MOVEMENT: Manual wind FUNCTIONS: Time, chronograph CALIBER: Venus 175
The Breitling Chronomat with its rotating sliderule was patented in 1941 as war raged through Europe and other parts of the world, its design offering a welcome respite from the plethora of military and military-inspired watches of the period. The Chronomat's emphasis on engineering and mathematics, science and industry seemed to offer hope for a future when the war would be over and reconstruction could begin. Although often thought to be the first slide-rule wristwatch on the market, the Breitling Chronomat was in fact the second. The Mimo-Loga, a non-chronograph, was introduced during 1941 before the Breitling. This is a beautiful example of the chronograph with a very full, strong case and beautiful overall condition.

LOT 1024
Breitling Sprint Chronograph Ref. 2010 in Steel CIRCA: 1968
MOVEMENT: Manual winding
The Breitling Sprint was considered the budget chronograph of its day. Functionality wise, though, with its inner tachymeter track and rotating dual-use bezel that could accrue hours in lieu of the third register or show a different time zone, the Sprint was pretty impressive. The Sprint possesses a rather beefy case with almost modern dimensions of a 40mm case, lug-to-lug distance of 48mm, wearing a 19mm strap. Plus, the thickness of this chrono comes to a relatively slender 12.5mm and that makes it extremely wearable. The Breitling Sprint is a beautiful vintage chronograph with modern appeal.

The OMEGA “Apollo-Soyuz” Speedmaster is considered a “grail” watch for OMEGA and Speedmaster collectors, with very few having ever come to auction. This watch is property of the original French owner and includes the original International Guarantee card noting the sale of the watch at “La Reine Blanche” in Paris, France on July 27, 1978. Each Apollo-Soyuz model was given a specific number out of 500 on the case back below the Gemini and Apollo and this watch is numbered 305. The case back has Gemini and Apollo accompanied by Soyuz printed in the Cyrillic alphabet. Additionally, there is the image of the Saturn 1B rocket. The Apollo-Soyuz Speedmaster also notably comes on a 1168 bracelet, which is similar to a Rolex Oyster bracelet with solid links. This bracelet is highly prized by collectors and the Apollo-Soyuz Speedmaster was the only model to include this special bracelet. The watch furthermore features a receipt from a full service at Station Technique Horlogere in Besancon, France in September 1997, when the watch had its pushers, crown, and tachymetre bezel replaced with service replacement parts,

but the original materials were included with the watch. The tachymetre bezel has been replaced back to the original one, which has some scratches. The dial and hands are preserved in outstanding condition, with the dial certainly one of the most attractive Apollo-Soyuz dials known to the market. The OMEGA “Apollo-Soyuz” Speedmaster Professional reference 145.022 was made to commemorate the 1975 docking between the American Apollo and the Soviet Soyuz spacecrafts, a historic moment during the Cold War for a thawing of US-Soviet relations. This watch was made as a limited edition of 500 pieces in 1976 one year after the docking it commemorates and was the first Speedmaster made in steel in a limited edition. The dial differs from normal Speedmasters by having the Apollo-Soyuz patch below 12 o'clock in place of the OMEGA logo. Beneath the patch only “OMEGA” is written. Accompanied by OMEGA box, extra links, and guarantee. Starting Bid: $10,000 Estimate: $15,000-$25,000

The reference 168000 is the successor to reference 16800, and was produced for only a short span between 1987 and 1988, making it extremely rare.

This current example features a dial that has tritium luminous material applied to the glossy dial with white gold 'surrounds', or circles, surrounding the luminous plots, a feature evident on current Submariner models.

Rolex produced the Explorer II reference 16550 for only four years, from 1985 to 1989. The reference 16550 was an upgrade from the predecessor, reference 1655 in that it had an independent hour hand to track a second timezone with an upgraded movement. One of the more interesting aspects of reference 16550 is that the white dial models'due to a defect in the paint'turned to a nice cream or ivory color. Rolex later corrected this defect, but you now have an opportunity to buy a beautiful creamy dial Explorer II, made even more rare and collectible by the short, four-year production cycle. This example is furthermore distinguished by its highly-desirable 'Rail Dial', meaning there is a straight gap down of the middle of Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified. Accompanied by original presentation and outer boxes, warranty and hang tag. Starting Bid: $5,000 Estimate: $6,000-$9,000

In 1963 Rolex manufactured the 6239 chronograph, and later, the 6262 and 6264 chronograph references with pump pushers through 1971. The Rolex reference 6240 is a very special watch because it marks the first time that Rolex manufactured the Daytona with screwdown pushers, known as MK 0 pushers, and black bakelite bezel. Reference 6240 was produced as a prototype from 1965 through 1969 simultaneous with reference 6239. Consequently, very few examples of reference 6240 were produced and are prized by collectors. Reference 6240 was replaced by references 6263 and 6265 with MK1, and later, MK2 screw-down pushers. These references remained in production until 1988. The current example exhibits beautiful brown subdials, known as "tropical" to collectors. This is a rare opportunity to own the first Daytona to be made with screw-down pushers and to bear the inscription "Oyster" with beautiful tropical subdials.

Upon first glance, this watch looks like your standard Tudor Prince Oysterdate but it isn't. The dial on this watch bears a special Philippines Airlines logo. It wasn't uncommon for Rolex and Tudor to add the logo of a specific company (you may be familiar with the Dominos Pizza Rolex). Often this implied that the watch was a gift to someone at that particular company. Was this watch gifted to a pilot? We aren't sure, but we do know that this watch is special (and looks great!).

The 2446C is the second generation manual wind Autavia. It's a handsome tool chronograph with a simple and rugged look. It has a beefy 40 mm case with attractive beveled lugs and a bidirectional rotating bezel. Heuer asked E. Piquerez SA (EPSA) in 1961 to design what has now become the iconic compressor case design. One of the distinguishing features of a compressor is that the back tightens more as the watch is subjected to water pressure. The Autavia's compressor is slightly different. It uses a snap back that is held in place with a big c-clip that is held into the mid case in a deep channel. Water sealing is done with a big rubber o-ring. The Heuer 2446C was produced for only four years as a transitional model. Combined with the famous and rare Guy Freres bracelet designed for this reference, it's beauty, rarity, and durability make it the ideal sport chronograph.

The model features the legendary calibre 12-600 AT granted Swiss patent No. 289758 in 1953 for "a self-winding mechanism for a wristwatch movement using the energy supplied by a rotary mass causing an eccentric part to transmit a swinging movement to an organ of the mechanism." The majority of reference 2526s were cased in yellow gold, a small series in pink gold, and very few examples in white gold and platinum. The present example is particularly rare as it is in pink gold and from the second series of the reference. The watch is fitted with a Patek Philippe pink gold buckle and accompanied by an older strap and extract of the archives. Starting Bid: $15,000 Estimate: $25,000-$40,000

Rolex "Pre-Comex" Submariner Ref. 5513 in Steel CIRCA: 1977
MOVEMENT: Automatic
In the early 1960s Rolex reintroduced the Submariner in two references: 5512 and 5513. The 5512 was an officially certified chronometer while the 5513 was its less expensive sibling without the chronometer certification. Today both references are held in equally high esteem with collectors eager to find one in good condition. The current example is a beautiful specimen of the reference and features a rare "Pre-Comex" dial that is of strong interest to collectors. The Submariner remains the quintessential Rolex sport diving watch.

Rolex Submariner Ref. 5512 with "Neat Fonts Dial" in Steel CIRCA: 1967 REFERENCE: 5512 CASE NUMBER: 1702787 CASE MATERIAL: Stainless steel CASE DIMENSIONS: 40 mm in diameter DIAL: Matte black dial with white printing in the "Neat Fonts" style. Printed hour markers with tritium. Triangle shaped hour marker at 12; 3, 6, and 9 have stick shaped hour markers; and dot shaped hour markers at the rest. BRACELET MATERIAL: Rolex rivet style in steel MOVEMENT: Automatic CALIBER: 1570
The 5512 was the first Submariner to be an officially certified chronometer, meaning that it was tested by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), a Swiss institution given the important task of certifying the precision and accuracy of movements. This present watch is an outstanding example of an early meters-first Submariner with matte dial. The dial is one of very few known "Neat Fonts" configurations, with the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" text matching the rest of the dial in color and clearly original to the watch. It's becoming increasingly rare to find fresh-to-market sport Rolex watches in pristine condition, especially in the Submariner category, and in particular, among the 5512 reference. This is a particularly rare opportunity to own a beautifully aged vintage Rolex sport timepiece in spectacular condition. Starting Bid: $15,000 Estimate: $18,000-$25,000

We have the pleasure to present to collectors one of the most rare versions of the Rolex Submariner, the reference 5512 with square crown guards. The reference was 5512 was launched in 1959 to replace earlier small and big crown submariners without crown guards. The crown guards were added as a way to protect the crown from impact that could damage the stem and tube, resulting in water damage to the watch. It is thought that less than 100 examples of the 5512 Submariner were produced with square crown guards.After complaints from customers about damage to diving wet suits by the crown guards, Rolex quickly shaved the guards to produce what are called "pointed crown guards", though these were also replaced two years later
by the crown guards we see today, referred to as round crown guards. The reference 5512 is already a rare collector item: it was officially certified chronometer, meaning the Swiss government noted it met its accuracy requirements, as compared to the reference 5513 which was less expensive, produced in greater numbers, and was not certified a chronometer. This is an opportunity to own an already rare and beautiful example, made even more rare by the presence of square crown guards. Starting Bid: $75,000 Estimate: $100,000-$150,000

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms MILSPEC I CIRCA: 1960 REF.: Fifty Fathoms Milspec I CASE NUMBER: 4911 CASE MATERIAL: Stainless steel CASE DIMENSIONS: 41 mm in diameter DIAL: Black with luminous indices, and original color-change humidity indicator at 6 o'clock BRACELET MATERIAL: Tan calfskin strap BRACELET SIZE: 6-3/4 to 7-3/4 inches MOVEMENT: Automatic FUNCTIONS: Time CALIBER: R570
The year 1953 saw innovations in the dive watch industry that would resound and set the standards for future generations. This was the year when Blancpain released the Fifty Fathoms dive watch intended for the use of combat divers. To this day, the name Fifty Fathoms is synonymous with prestige in the dive watch industry. "Fifty Fathoms" comes from the unit of marine depth measurement and a fathom is equivalent to 1.829 meters. So, 50 fathoms is equivalent to 91.45 meters, which is the maximum depth that divers could achieve at the time given their equipment. Originally intended for French combat divers, Blancpain went on to produce other pieces for different countries and their navy branches for the next few decades. The current example is an absolutely pristine,
unpolished watch with perfect original dial and hands. The original luminous material has aged to a beautiful creamy yellow color and the dial retains its original black gloss finish. As a matter of interest, a renowned local watchmaker carefully removed the caseback to reveal for the very first time to anyone since its production, the internal mechanics of this watch. There are no watchmaker marks on the inside caseback. This is an extremely rare opportunity to own, what we believe to be, the very finest example of a Blancpain Milspec I ever to come to market. We can only be jealous of its next owner. Starting Bid: $35,000 Estimate: $40,000-$60,000

4. PROPERTY CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, REPRESENTATION, AND WARRANTY 4.1 Property is Sold “As Is”. All Property is sold “As Is”, without any warranty or representation, expressed or implied, by us, that any Property is merchantable or suited for any purpose. The absence of a Property condition report does not imply any particular condition. All statements contained in this catalog, on our website, in any digital platform, in any materials, in any condition report, in any invoice, or elsewhere as it relates to this sale (“Published Materials”), as to source, authorship, origin, condition, provenance, period, culture, quality, importance, rarity, and/or historical significance are statements of opinion, and should not be treated as statements of fact. Fortuna shall not have any responsibility for any error or omission for any statement in Published Materials. The absence of a condition statement does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections, or signs of aging.
4.5 Timepieces. Fortuna does not guarantee the working condition of any timepiece. All timepieces are sold without warranty. Fortuna attempts to identify significant damage and make note of such damage in catalog descriptions, when and where possible. However, Fortuna makes no guarantee as to the accuracy and completeness of any condition report of any timepiece. Catalog descriptions and condition reports do not necessarily include all faults, imperfections, or restorations performed on the timepiece. Moreover, the lack of a condition report does not imply that any lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the results of aging. All responsibility lies with bidders and buyers for performing their own inperson inspection. 4.6 Estimated Gemstone Weights. Certain gemstone weights are estimated using techniques that yield approximate measurements. The values produced by these techniques and reported in the catalog descriptions are to be used as approximations, and should not be relied upon as exact measurements. 3. BUYER’S PREMIUM
4.2 Property is Available for Inspection and Condition Reports are Available Upon Request. It is your responsibility to inspect and/or request additional photographs, videos, and/or condition reports for any Property on which you intend to bid, prior to the day of the sale. Fortuna will not be held responsible or liable for providing such information to you in time for the sale. Though photographs are meant to provide an indication of condition, Fortuna takes no responsibility for the accuracy of its photographs. Colors and shades may look different on the screen to how they look on physical inspection, and images may not show the condition of a lot clearly. All bidders and buyers should rely solely upon their own in-person inspection. 4.3 Certificates of Authenticity. Fortuna will, from time to time, for various lots offered, obtain certificates of authenticity from the designer and/ or manufacturer, when possible and practical, in our sole discretion and under our sole judgement. However, not all designers and manufacturers issue certificates upon request. In the event that you are a winning bidder and you attempt to obtain such a certificate from a designer and/or manufacturer and are unable to, you understand and agree that this will not constitute grounds to rescind the sale. Furthermore, you assume all such risks in the purchase of the lot(s) that you bid for and win, and will not hold Fortuna liable for any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, and/or damages as a result of such events. 4.4 Gemological Certificates and Reports. Fortuna does not guarantee and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in any gemological reports and/or certificates. Fortuna uses such reports and/or certificates as an indication of condition and does not rely upon them as fact. Please note that regardless of whether a gemological report or certificate is provided with an auction lot, Fortuna cannot guarantee that any stone offered for sale is not lab-grown. Furthermore, different laboratories may differ in their assessments (including but not limited to origin, type, and extent of treatment) and thus such certificates and/or reports from different laboratories may contain different results. If, following a sale, a buyer obtains a gemological laboratory certificate or report from a laboratory other than the one used by Fortuna, Fortuna will not be held liable for any differences among certificates or reports. From time to time, Fortuna will guarantee certain characteristics for a gemstone offered for sale and oftentimes, the sale is contingent upon receipt of a certificate confirming such characteristics. When such a situation occurs, Fortuna will explicitly and clearly state the terms of the guarantee.
The following premiums will be applied to the buyer’s account, and due to Fortuna, on top of the Hammer Price: 25% on the first $300,000 20% from $300,001 to $3,000,000 12.5% on the excess over $3,000,000 5. AUCTION PROCESSES, PROCEDURES, AND PLATFORMS
5.1 Auctioneer’s Rights and Permissions. The auctioneer may sell, pass, withdraw, or advance a lot in any manner he or she decides and may split any bid increment for any lot at any time, all at his or her sole discretion. The auctioneer may also, in his or her sole discretion, for any reason he or she deems necessary, especially in the event that the auctioneer doubts the validity of a bid or a bidder, reject any bids, from any bidder, for any Property, at any sale and at any time. In event of a bidding dispute, the auctioneer has the sole, exclusive, and final decision in the selection of the winning bidder, the cancelation of the sale, the re-entering of a previously withdrawn lot, the re-opening and re-offering of a previously passed lot, and/or the re-selling or re-passing of the disputed lot. Any post-auction disputes that arise shall be resolved by review of our sales records, which shall act as a master record, and shall be conclusive in all respects. 5.2 Property Withdraw, Lot Consolidation/Division, and Lot Re-Sequencing. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, for any reason we deem necessary, to withdraw any property from any sale at any time prior to the sale of the property, divide property of a lot up into multiple lots to be offered for sale, consolidate multiple lots into fewer lots to be offered for sale, or rearrange lot sequencing. You agree to hold Fortuna harmless for any such actions. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale. 5.3 Starting Bids. All lots offered for sale are subject to a Starting Bid, the opening bid for the lot and the lowest hammer price at which the Property can be sold. If, during the course of bidding, no one places a Starting Bid on a lot, the auctioneer shall pass the lot. 5.4 Consignor Integrity. Under no circumstances is any consignor or representatives of any consignor allowed to bid on their own items. If such an event takes place, the consignor will be subject to all applicable penalties and Fortuna will be permitted full authority to resolve the matter in using any available means and manner contractually and legally permitted, as outlined in the Master Consignment Agreement.
5.5 Bidding By Representative. If you wish to send a representative to bid on your behalf, you must first seek and gain the express written approval of Fortuna. You and your Representative shall accept and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions herein. Furthermore, the Bidder and/or Buyer agree to be held liable for the actions of their Representative, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. In such an event, we will need the Buyer’s and/or Bidder’s signature on a letter of authorization, to be provided by Fortuna upon request. 5.6 Absentee Bidding, Phone Bidding, and Online Bidding Not Guaranteed. We may permit and execute absentee bidding including written bids, telephone bidding, and internet bidding as a convenience to you, if you are unable or would prefer not to attend the auction in-person. We are not responsible for any errors or omissions related to this type of bidding in any way. You further agree to hold us harmless should we fail to execute any such bids or should the digital platform, software, tool, and/ or technology that you used to bid fail you at any point, for any reason. 5.7 Online Platforms and Bidding. Fortuna may allow clients to bid online via our own website, mobile application, or other third-party online platforms. By using any of these digital platforms to participate in a sale, you acknowledge that you are bound by these Terms and Conditions, as well as any additional terms and conditions stipulated by the digital platforms. At any time, Fortuna may terminate, suspend, change, discontinue, or add to any aspect of the digital platforms and/or services, in our sole discretion, without liability. We also may restrict, suspend, or terminate use of access for anyone at any time when using any digital platform to participate in a sale. You acknowledge that Fortuna has no responsibility for any of the content, interaction, or risks associated with a third-party digital platform. Under no circumstances is Fortuna liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that you may incur on any digital platform. 5.8 Title to the Property. Upon the landing of the auctioneer’s hammer, the winning Bidder shall have purchased the offered lot pursuant to, and subject to compliance with, these Terms and Conditions. At such a time the winning Bidder: (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefrom; (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase; (c) will pay the purchase price in full; and (d) shall not be permitted to transfer the purchase to another party. With prior approval of Fortuna, a Bidder and/or Buyer may identify another person to bid on their behalf as a registered agent. Any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) shall be jointly and severally liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. 6. ACCOUNT SETTLEMENT & RECEIPT OF PROPERTY
6.1 Balance Due and Due Date. You will be required to pay the total balance of your account, which is equivalent to the sum of the Total Purchase Price for each lot purchased. Payment is due within seven (7) calendar days of completion of the auction. If the buyer makes a partial payment, we shall, in our sole judgement, apply the partial payment to any particular line item or lots on the buyers account balance that we see fit in whichever manner we see fit. Fortuna will not deliver any Property to a winning Bidder until all lots won by the Bidder at auction are paid in full and there is no outstanding balance on the Bidder’s account. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have collected good funds for all amounts due and all funds have cleared our bank account. 6.2 New York State Sales Tax. New York sales tax shall be applied to Buyers’ accounts, as a percentage applied against the taxable portion, if any, of the Total Purchase Price, and collected by Fortuna at the time of settlement, regardless of the state or country in which the Buyer/Bidder/Representative resides or does business. Property delivered to a destination outside of New York by
a shipper who is considered a “common carrier” by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS, and/or USPS) will not be subject to New York sales tax unless Fortuna has operations in the destination state. Buyers/Bidders/Representatives who make any other such arrangements for pickup or delivery in the state of New York will be subject to New York State Sales Tax pursuant to the details herein and all applicable laws unless a Buyer/Bidder/ Representative possesses and presents to Fortuna a valid tax exemption certificate. 6.3 Accepted Forms of Payment and Associated Limitations and Service Charges. You may settle your account using the following accepted means of payment: cash, check, money order, cashier’s check, book transfer, wire transfer, direct deposit, debit card, charge card, or credit card (the latter three collectively referred to herein as “Card” or “Cards”). The following Cards will be accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and/or American Express. A 2% service charge will be applied to the Total Purchase Price for all Card payments. Card payments shall not be accepted from first time buyers unless otherwise approved in writing by Fortuna and authorized by a Fortuna Authority. Card payments are limited to a maximum $10,000 per Buyer/Bidder/ Representative per auction. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, for any reason we deem necessary, to permit or deny any form of payment for any Buyer/Bidder/Representative and the right to increase or decrease any maximums, minimums, or thresholds stated herein. 6.4 Property Pickup or Delivery. Prior to account settlement, you must inform Fortuna in writing (email is preferable) of your desired method of receipt of your Property—either pickup or delivery. If requesting delivery, Fortuna will arrange a fully-insured shipment for you with a reputable “common carrier” (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS, and/ or USPS), however, you will be responsible for any and all insured shipping costs and/or costs affiliated with receiving the Property. If picking up, or requesting delivery to a New York mailing address, you understand that you will be subject to any applicable sales taxes, as detailed herein unless you have a valid tax exemption certificate. If you do not pick up or accept delivery of your purchased Property within ten (10) business days of account settlement, or if we have not come to some other written agreement with regards to your receipt of the Property, Fortuna will charge a daily storage fee to cover, at a minimum, the insurance and management of your property. If you do not pick up or accept delivery of your purchased Property within ninety (90) business days of account settlement, or if we have not come to some other written agreement with regards to your receipt of the Property, we may consider that Property abandoned and rescind the sale on behalf of Property owner. We reserve the right to hold the merchandise until cleared or certified funds are received and your account is fully settled. You will be charged $50 for each check returned for insufficient funds, and will be held liable for any fees or charges incurred by Fortuna for such an event. Unless exempt by law, all purchases (including buyer’s premium) are subject to New York State Sales Tax. 7. BUYER’S DEFAULT AND RESCISSION OF SALE
7.1 Buyer’s Default. If you fail to fully pay for your auction purchases, including all applicable expenses, fees, and taxes by the due date (seven calendar days after the date of sale) or if any of the terms and conditions herein are not complied with by you and/or your Representative or if we suspect, for any reason, that you or your Representative are fraudulent or are incapable of fulfilling your obligations as a Buyer pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, you will be in default, and Fortuna will be fully entitled to and may elect to pursue one or more of the following courses of action: 7.1.1 Cancel the Sale. We may cancel the sale and either offer the lot at a future auction, sell the lot privately, or return the lot to the consignor. Regardless of the course of action we elect to take, if the lot is re-sold you shall be held fully responsible for the difference between the original total balance due
and the proceeds from the final sale as well as any fees and expenses we incur during the process of canceling and reselling the lot(s). If we are not able to resell the lot you shall be held fully responsible for the Total Purchase Price and any other fees and expenses originally due to us on the total balance due as well as any fees and expenses we incur during the process of canceling and attempting to resell the lot(s); 7.1.2 Blacklist You. We may blacklist you and prevent you from bidding with us indefinitely at our sole discretion, or we may require you to place a deposit with us before accepting future bids from you; 7.1.3 Charge You Interest. We may charge you interest at a rate of up to 1.5% per month or the maximum allowable by law, whichever is less, on the amount of your unpaid balance. The first interest payment will accrue one month after the due date, and will continue to accrue for each month the balance is unpaid; or 7.1.4 Hold You Legally Responsible. We can hold you legally responsible for the Total Purchase Price plus any applicable fees, interest, or taxes, as well as any additional legal fees, accounting fees, collections costs, incidental damages, expert fees, or other costs related to your default should we choose to begin legal proceedings for recovery of all outstanding amounts. 7.2 Rescission of Sale Limitations. We warrant, subject to the terms below, that the Property in our sales are Authentic. “Authentic” is defined as a genuine example, rather than a copy or forgery of: i) the work of a particular artist, author, or manufacturer, if the Property is described in the Heading as the work of that artist, author, or manufacturer; ii) a work created within a particular period or culture, if the Property is described in the Heading as a work created during that period or culture; or iii) in the case of gems, a work which is made of a particular material, if the Property is described in the Heading as being made of that material. If within six (6) months from the date of auction, the original buyer provides to Fortuna written notice claiming that the bold type in the first line of the auction catalog lot description (“Heading”) is not an Authentic representation of the auction lot, Fortuna will duly consider such claim. Please note the Heading does not include any information other than in the Heading even if shown elsewhere in the auction lot description in bold type. As part of your claim submission you will need to give us written details, including full supporting evidence of your claim, the written opinion of at least one recognized expert in the field of the auction lot, and return the auction lot at your expense to Fortuna’s offices in New York. If Fortuna confirms the Property is not Authentic, your only right under this par. 6 is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses. 7.3 Claims of misrepresentation made by an original buyer will be considered unsubstantial and rescission of sale will be rejected if, for the lot(s) in question any of the following apply: (1) Representation of authenticity of such lot was in accordance with the generally-accepted opinion of specialists, scholars, and authorities of that time at the time of sale; or (2) It was specifically mentioned in the auction catalog or on the Fortuna website that there was an existing conflict in expert opinion between specialists, authorities, and/or scholars regarding the authenticity of the lot, at the time of sale; or (3) The Heading is qualified , meaning limited by a clarification in an auction lot’s catalog description (4) The representation of periods and/or dates in the catalog description were made using a reasonable amount of effort and with the tools and technology that were generally available and in common use at the time of publishing the | 103 |
sale—furthermore, if new tools, knowledge, and/or technology exists at the time of the claim, that was either not in existence, for which the accuracy was in dispute, for which was not in practice, or for which was not practically obtainable at the time of publication. 8.
