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

so the only thing that stops me before getting this watch is how can you clean it is you can't get it wet? i clean all my watches with soup and water.. who has this watch and would you recommended? and how do you clean it.

Thank You Ebay!

PAM00421no love?
i have offered my PAM00421 for sale in a very respected high end used watch shop in vienna, at a very reasonable price - simply because i want to concentrate on patek and rolex (no sales pitch here though!!!!!). strangely enough it did not sell yet after three months and the owner of the shop tells me that almost nobody even takes a look at it. i am wondering what is wrong with the model (the watch itself is in perfect state)? is it indicative for the panerai second hand market or just that the gold models are not liked by paneristi? most likely i will take it back again and keep wearing it once in a while, i like the watch....ps: i should add that i bought a patek 5712R which kind of ticks similar boxes to the PAM00241, namely rose gold case on croc strap, brown dial......

I just wanted to share with my fellow Rolex enthusiasts a bit of fun news. I haven’t been around much lately with work, but today I treated myself a bit. I just ordered my grail from DavidSW! I’m very excited. Currently own:116400WO (white dial milgauss)216570 bk (black dial 42mm explorer ii)1503 (34mm 14k yellow gold date on leather)It’s been a while, so I’m not sure if I’m supposed to post what I got or if I wait for pictures and make people guess!?!As you can tell I don’t go for the most common or popular colors when it comes to watches. I like to be a bit different.
