Would you buy a watch Rolex , Patek online from Christies Auction House?

[johnbeth]

Hi all!

I was looking at some PP watches online at Christies upcoming auctions, and was wondering, would you buy from them even though you can not attend to view the watch in question physically?

Since Christies have specialists on staff, do they authenticate pieces that they auction? Do they offer warranty if the watch in question was not as described or is it buyer be aware that you might get dupped?

If this has already been brought up before apologies for posting.

Thanks for your help everyone!
