RM Sotheby’s: Sotheby’s: two Porsche extravaganzas
RM Europe's 'Carrera Collection' sets records at Swiss and Italian auctions, with Porsches fetching up to 41% above estimates. Iconic 911s shine, while GT2 R stands out as a bargain. Porsche enthusiasts rejoice!
Cliff Goodall’s view
The “Carrera Collection”, and the name says it all. A collection (mainly) of Porsches was the event of summer 2023 for RM Europe, and to maximize profits, they decided to organize a double sale, a clever move indeed.
One was held in Lagenthal within the Swiss Confederation, while the other occurred in Milan, at the Italian branch of Sotheby’s, less than a week later (on the 7th and 12th of July, respectively). The strategic division of the lots added to the allure: the Swiss auction exclusively featured Swiss-registered cars, whereas the Italian auction showcased vehicles registered in the European Union.
