Over the weekend in Geneva, the biennial charity auction Only Watch 2021, raised over $32 million for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
During 9 editions of Only Watch (once every two years), a total of $110 million has been raised for research.
The H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco declared open the 9th Edition of Only Watch, adding “We don’t often take the time to reflect on the progress that’s been made. But today, we should: we’ve come a long way. We are at the dawn of a clinical trial of a therapeutic solution that’s been elaborated thanks to ONLY WATCH funding. In the very near future, 12 boys and young men will be given a drug which researchers believe will alleviate the disease. To you all, Only Watch community… you have my gratitude.”
For Only Watch 2021, There were 53 one-off creations in all donated for charity, with 99% of the proceeds going to the cause, and 1% going to Christie’s to cover the cost of the global preview tour, digital promotions, auction catalogs, and the actual auction on November 6th, which took place in Geneva and saw 850 people in attendance.
