Once upon a time, when the new year began, you had to wait a few months before you could see a millionaire watch auction held. Today, you want the hole left in the first three months by the absence of traditional watchmaking salons, you want Covid 19 which doesn’t allow you much to plan, every moment is always the right one.
In fact, Antiquorum – a famous auction house specializing in watchmaking – will even hold one in less than a week: exactly on Tuesday 18 January at the Yacht Club of Monaco.
Among the 177 lots at auction I have identified five that could do nothing but sparks.
Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 3800 Tiffany & Co.
After the blunder of December 2021 which saw the first of 170 new replica Patek Philippe Nautilus with Tiffany Blue dial pass ownership for the absurd figure of 6.5 million dollars, here we are after only a month already at the first proof of the truth. The 3800 you see is from 1994 and has the New York jeweler’s signature on the dial at 6 o’clock. Will he also splash at an unmentionable figure? For me at least the estimate that is ridiculous will be pulverized instantly.replica watches
Estimate: EUR 80,000 – 120,000
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Ref. 6263 Paul Newman Panda Tropical Track
Extremely rare, with a water-resistant tonneau-shaped stainless steel case, it is powered by a chronograph movement with a colenne wheel of a hand-wound Valjoux 727, very intriguing, but which many used at the time. A Paul Newman with an exotic dial that you don’t see every day will certainly revive the auction.
Estimate: EUR 300,000 – 600,000
