Elvis Presley’s Omega Fetches King’s Ransom at Antiquorum Auction
“Thank you, thank you very much!”That’s what the folks at Antiquorum Auctioneers might be saying today to the private collector who acquired the showcase piece at this week’s auction in New York, an Omega Constellation once owned by the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley. The watch sold for an astounding $52,500, five times its pre-sale estimate and a world record for that reference.Elvis’s Omega, a rare, black-dialed Constellation Calendar produced around 1960, was the most high-profile of 269 timepieces on the block at Antiquorum’s “Important Vintage and Modern Timepieces” auction, held at its Manhattan headquarters on June 12. The watch has an automatic chronometer movement with center seconds and date and a steel case with rose-gold plating. Antiquorum put the pre-sale estimate at $10,000 to $20,000, but bids for the coveted piece of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia quickly escalated to a final hammer price of $52,5

Which Would you get next?
Hey Everyone,Just curious to see what you guys would choose out of these choices.Try to factor in price differences at least a little.The ROO models are too big for my 6.4 inch wrists so I am consideringa couple APs, a couple PPs and a Rolex.I am loving my new 5167r, but it needs a companion.Narrowing it down to 5 watches that excite me.1) AP 15202OR2) AP 25820ST 3) PP 5711 White4) PP 57125) Rolex 116719More than likely I will end up with at least two of the above, just curious what everyones choice would be.Keep in mind I am not really looking for a balanced collection, so vote what you like best!

Where to find...
I will spend some days in London and Paris. Which in your opinion is the best shop in each city carrying a good variety of vintage and modern but discontinued Patek Philippe watches (such as 5110, for example)? l have been to Burlington Arcade a few times and while there are many vintage Rolexes, I don't remember seeing many Patek Philippe watches. Appreciate any recommendations.
