Reference:3937: Difference between revisions

[checked revision][checked revision]
Fact correction: Fred W. McMackon's Eaton watch is a round-case 6022 (photo shows a round bezel, caseback stamped "6022"), not a 3937 — removed from 3937's recipient/example lists across SEO description, prose, and Sources footer; kept as corroborating context for the 6022 transition instead
Remove unresolved research-meta placeholder row from auction-record table per no-research-meta rule

The 3937 hammer band sits between USD 6,783 and HKD 43,750 (~USD 5,500 at 2011 rates) for typical Eaton 14K yellow examples, with the documented high being the 2011 Antiquorum HK lot at 192% over upper estimate — driven by collector demand for original Eaton dials and intact recipient documentation. Phillips, Sotheby's specialist sales (only the 2020 Watches Online lot is documented), Christie's specialist sales, and the major Geneva watch-week venues carry no documented 3937 lots — the reference's auction record runs through Antiquorum (10 of 16 documented lots), Bonhams, Cambi, Artcurial, and regional houses. This regional-house concentration is consistent with the 3937's Canadian-market retailer-program origin: the reference circulated primarily through Eaton's program in Canada, and modern auction circulation reflects that geographic distribution rather than the global European-major-house pattern that the 1490 follows.
