DUBAI, July 27, 2024
RM Sotheby’s has announced that it will be conducting its second auction for the Gulf region in Dubai following the remarkable success of its inaugural sale this March.
The December auction will be held in partnership with the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE, at the stunning Emirates Golf Club where the event begins.
The announcement follows the remarkable sale in March, which exceeded expectations and broke records, with the 2016 Koenigsegg Agera RSR bringing a remarkable $3,380,000.
An exciting selection of early consignments are set to be announced in the coming weeks for the December auction.
Peter Wallman, Chairman, RM Sotheby’s UK & EMEA, said: "In what is an increasingly important market for RM Sotheby’s, I am delighted to return to Dubai for our second auction in the UAE, during an exciting season for car lovers in the region."
"We are at a fantastic new venue as part of an exciting partnership with the 1000 Miglia Experience UAE. We continue to grow our presence in the region and build on the success of our inaugural auction in March, and are looking forward to another great sale in this important market," stated Wallman.
"December in Dubai is fast becoming the region’s ‘automotive season’ with events such as the 1000 Miglia Experience, RM Sotheby’s new sale, Cavallino Middle East, and, of course, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, all happening in quick succession,' he added.
Martin Halder, Founder of Octanium Group, Organiser of 1000 Miglia Experience UAE said: “I am delighted to announce our partnership with RM Sotheby’s. The upcoming sale will undoubtedly add an exciting new dimension to the opening day of our 1000 Miglia Experience UAE."
"1000 Miglia is a highly respected global brand, and it is entirely fitting that we now have a collaboration with the leading global auction house for fine collector cars," stated Haldar.
"This partnership marks another significant milestone in our mission to develop and support the automotive enthusiasts' scene in the Middle East - a region known for its remarkable growth and passion for exquisite driving experiences," he added.
