On December 11, 2025, in Zurich, the auction house Ineichen held a separate charity mono-auction – an intimate two-lot sale organized in collaboration with GMT Milano.
Two interconnected lots by Konstantin Chaykin were offered: the Venus watch prototype and an original sketch dedicated to this new timepiece.
Venus was conceived as an artistic interpretation inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. Its minimalist yet distinctly elegant design refers to the moment when true beauty is born.
As part of the charity session, the Venus sketch attracted 39 bids and sold for CHF 4,200. All proceeds from the sale were transferred to LILT Milano (Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori) and directed to support the Pink Ribbon (Nastro Rosa) campaign, dedicated to the prevention and early detection of breast cancer.
