Patek Sky Moon Tourbillon Brings $1.2 Million at Patrizzi Auction
A Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon in yellow gold, Ref. 5002, sold for $1.2 million at the Patrizzi & Co. auction in New York on October 7. This is the highest price paid for a wristwatch at auction since the beginning of the recession. The watch was purchased by a customer in Europe. CEO Osvaldo Patrizzi said “In the current global recession, this $1.2 million sale result is extraordinary. This auction demonstrates that while demand for mid-level watches for collectors is softening, extraordinary, very rare, limited-edition pieces are still in demand and in some occasions increasing in value.” Mr. Patrizzi also noted that aside from the Sky Moon Tourbillon going to Europe, the other top pieces in the sale went to bidders in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. The second highest price was brought by a Patek Philippe Commemorative Minute Repeater, Ref. 5079-010, originally sold December 1, 2004. The yellow gold piece was produced in a limited series of 5 examples for the 50th

Hi, i am back :-)I absolutely don't understand to this model. Why is it COSC certified? I thought AP had it's own standards, that where higher than COSC. Now it just seems that the other models are less accourate than COSC standarts and that this one is something special, like This is the most accourate watch we offer, the other ones are worse. and for a brand like AP, i think thats an epic fail. Any thoughts?I mean, i really like AP but this was quite a shock ...

what you guys think of this new toy?

New Omega PO way to dear
Just spoke to an ad and the new PO with titanium and liquid metal will be ?4960, I think this is way too dear nearly ?2000 more than current model. I love the PO and have two of them, but no way would I pay ?4960 that is Rolex terriorty. I know some people will pay the preminum to have the latest model, but who thinks that it is too dear for an Omega.

Same 111 , two faces ;)
Still love this piece!
