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

Patek vs Audemars
Hi all, I have 2 Pateks, Nautiluses, and considered, still do sometimes, getting a Jumbo.When I saw 2 AP in real, the 15400 and the SS skeleton watch, both felt very strange to me, very very light, even lighter than my 5712, which is quite a light watch.It seems I had a little negative opinion about AP, to be honest the watches didn't seem up to the quality that I expected or that I found in PP.The ceramic diver had a very good feel of very good quality, which I lacked to see in the 2 RO's, maybe I am wrong, I'm sure that I am, and it is great quality but I didn't feel it as with the diver or with a Patek.Can you tell me if for you quality in AP is clearly below PP, or equal, or maybe superior to some��I have yet to see the Jumbo in real but if it's built the same way as the 2 I saw, I suppose I will also have a problem with the impression of quality from it��Do some of you prefer AP to PP? I'm not talking about sport watches as PP doesn't make any real sport watch IMO, whereas AP does a

This or That?
I currently own an AP Diver steel and thinking about adding one more...Which of the two below would you pick and why?

New Blue Dial GMT BLRO price lower than previous model

I find a price reduction quite surprising coming from Rolex these days!

It feels both sporty and a little more dressy. But I wonder if it may be a bit flashyIf it was Black dial I think I might get a bi
