Can't decide on what to get.....

PP 5712 Rose GoldI've been wanting a rose gold to add on to my goldless collection of rolex and offshore. Just can't decide what to get.

On the other hand, I've like 4 offshore and a novelty rose gold would certainly boost my ego making myself feel like the king of offshore(which in fact i'm not compared to you guys).

But, one watch we didn't show you, a Patek Philippe 2499 in pink gold is the focus of this post, because it seems so simple, and yet it sold for over $2.7million. So, what made this 2499 so special when compared to, say, your average, run of the mill 2499 like this, also in yesterday's sale, that made only $314,000? The devil is in the details, my friends.What made this particular 2499 so valuable is a perfect storm of rare traits. First, is a 'first serie
