This piece, estimated at between $250,000 and $350,000, contains Patek's first fully in-house chronograph calibre, CHF 27-525PS, which, at 5.25mm, is the thinnest column-wheel split-seconds chronograph ever made. Important vintage wristwatches are well represented in this sale, and the notable models include a Patek Philippe Ref. 2499 fourth series, circa 1981, estimated at between $280,000 and $350,000.One of the highlights of the evening will be rare and historically significant gold, enamel and diamond presentation pocket watch with matching chain and fob symbolizing the Royal Military Order of Saint George, most probably made for King Ludwig II of Bavaria circa 1880. This piece is estimated at between $27,000 and $44,000.

AP 15707CE Diver
Well, not much time ago, I acquired FC diver, but my longing to ceramic case made me another move. Thanks to Thanh a.k.a Takuya, I have tasted the world of AP ceramic case!Love FC diver, but the weight and balance of ceramic case is just fantastic. The sapphire back is another value-add where I can see the beautiful 3120 movement. Well, I'm not a big fan or specially looking for sapphire back all the times, but having a sapphire back in diver is always cool. Originally was looking for 26402CE, but some reasons, 44mm casing does not well fit on my wrist (maybe I did not pay much attention since it was briefly few seconds on my wrist in boutique). Well, next time!Anyway, another beautiful AP piece and definitely keeper!

Help me choose my next patek
Hi guys,So i’ve Been really wrestling with regards to deciding my next patek. I created a thread recently and there was overwhelming response from others to go for the 5164a. Now I know I should choose what songs to me but I also do value your input, especially considering that I tend to sell my watches in less than a year as I get bored easily.I currently do not own any RG watch, the only patek I own is 5980 blue dial.Below are the choices:1. 5164a2. 5960r black dial (preowned someone offered me below 56k)3. 5205r black dialThanks a bunch

25th Birthday present came a little early! Incoming!!!
And at last it is my turn!After owning and wearing a BLNR daily for a while now, I have been on the hunt for this beauty.It was initially a debate between the Rolex 116619 Smurf or this Patek 5711.After a bit of thinking, and trying both on; I decided that the Patek was the one.I liked the idea of diversifying, and I also would be owning a completely different looking watch.Once I made the decision, I started the hunt.A few weeks ago I messaged a really great guy on this forum, who has now become my friend, and he coincidentally had a brand new one he was looking to part with.Fast forward, and I am now over the moon!!!This is a gift to myself to commemorate a recent step in my Job, as well as my upcoming 25th Birthday.I am extremely thrilled to own such a stunning piece, and feel blessed to have this duo at this stage of my life.After taking the watch to the service centre to remove some links, the woman over there was very kind enough to give me a travel case. Some pictures to share,
