Sotheby's Hong Kong Announces Highlights From The Upcoming October Sale With A Rare Vintage Patek Philippe Leading The Pack
Sotheby's Hong Kong has just announced the highlights from their upcoming sale on October 6th. The sale will consist of 420 lots with an estimate exceeding 86 million HKD ($11 million US). The sale consists of a range of pieces from all the major watch brands with a spattering of jeweled pieces, modern wristwatches, and vintage pieces. BUT the most exciting part of the sale is the vintage Patek Philippe Reference 2523 World-Time with dual-crown. 1 OF 2 Leading the pack is an incredibly cool Patek Philippe Reference 2523/1 Yellow Gold World Time Wristwatch with 24-hour indication and double crown, made in 1968 with an estimate of 4 to 5.5 million HKD ( $510,000 to $710,000 US). The reference 2523 was an extension of Louis Cottier's famous world-time design (invented in 1931) but with a new two-crown design that was launched in 1953. This example, a 2523-1, features a guilloché dial that is part of a limited production of 20. This watch is fresh to the market

I think this may be THE one....
I only own stainless steel watches and gold watches, I have no two tone watches and I do not yet own an AP...I think I may have found my next purchase...simply gorgeous timepiece!!!!

Speedy and beach :)
Vacation is going great!

Diving with the PAM25 (Pic heavy)
I was lucky to have taken a quick weekend live aboard trip to the Gulf of Thailand and here are some pics, including a couple of shots of the PAM 25, which performed superbly. Clearly I'm not a pro and I only have a small point and shoot camera, but I love taking pics. I usually dive with the Sub or the SD, but the PAM looked like it wanted to get wet this time.Enjoy!!
