HONG KONG.- An exceptional lineup of luxury auctions will open Christie’s Spring season in Hong Kong, running from 24 May to 1 June. These highly anticipated live and online sales will present world-class, exquisite selections of wine, handbags, watches, and jewellery for discerning collectors and enthusiasts throughout the region and beyond. The magnificent sales this season will be Christie’s last at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, ahead of the auction house’s major relocation of its Asia Pacific headquarters in September to The Henderson building in Central, Hong Kong.

Through its extensive global network and market knowledge, Christie's has carefully curated these sales with collectors' preferences and passions in mind, while also providing diverse offerings for luxury enthusiasts at all stages.

This spring marks a significant milestone and the beginning of an exciting new era for Christie's Luxury in Asia, as the auction house prepares to embark on a new chapter at The Henderson in Hong Kong. In this new world-class building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, Christie’s will move from two main sale seasons per year to a dynamic new year-round calendar of sales and events.
