IF YOU WANT a good visual representation of just how many significant results the RM Sotheby’s Tailored for Speed auction produced, take a look at the top ten auction results on the right-hand side of this page. It’s not unusual to see several results from one auction, especially during a quiet month, but October has been jam-packed and all but two were sold in this exceptional sale. With 42 lots from a single owner, it totalled CHF70m, making it RM Sotheby’s highest-grossing European auction ever.
