Phillips is offering a unique tantalum Voutilainen Vingt-8 Inversé as lot 216, estimated at CHF 200,000–400,000. Jose Pereztroika alleges that a changed power-reserve hand position in a new photograph conceals a defective mechanism. Commissioned outside the original 26-piece run, the watch has a distinctive ring and hand colour combination and a movement engraved ‘1/1’.
