Patek Philippe Replica Watches's Important Watches Auction was the third and most exciting event in New York that took place this December, especially when it comes to the top and overall prices. This auction raised nearly 13 million dollars (12,926,175). The highlight of this auction was the stainless steel Rolex Reference 8172 "Padellone", named so because its case looked like a frying-pan to collectors in the past. This is an exclusive model of only two Rolex watches with perpetual calendars. It was sold at the highest price ever for this particular model - $1.145,000. Surprisingly, out of 365 watches auctioned, 22 others managed to fetch six-figure sums, apart from the most expensive Rolex perpetual clock watch.
Patek Philippe was represented by 13 wristwatches that were sold at Patek Philippe Replica Watches's on the 17th of December. Five of the watches have a perpetual clock and chronograph. They are different models (some of which are historic, others more recent). There were also: two chronographs with split seconds, two with decorative enamel dials with world time (one with this feature), one with a celestial complexity and one with both a chronograph as well as a pulsometer. Patek Philippe Replica Watches' position as the most sought-after timekeepers is demonstrated by a clock made by the same company that also produced these products that were sold for more than $100,000. Patek Philippe Replica Watches and Chanel J12 were also in the six-figure price range, as well as Vacheron Constantin wristwatches - Lady Kalla Reference 17701/710G, and skeletonized Tourbillon with Date and Power Reserve Reference 3006667. Panerai 364 and A.Lange & Sohne's tourbillon power reserve with hacking seconds and three Rolex Daytona Cosmographs Paul Newman. There were two very expensive pocket watches, one from John Bennett and one by Vacheron.
Rolex "Frying Pan", with Perpetual CalendarAs unexpectedly happened, the highest amount of money was paid by far for a darkhorse - Rolex Reference 817. This particular model was sold for $1,145,000 - four times its estimated value between $250,000 and $350,000. The 38 mm stainless steel watch has a snap-on caseback, and a Caliber A.295 self-winding 18-jewel movement. This watch has a perpetual calendar with moon phases that can be seen in its two-toned silvered dial with diamond-encrusted Arabic numbers. The watch has been well-preserved, even though it dates back to 1953. This watch is very important and was paid so much because it's one of only two Rolex models that had a perpetual calendar (the other is Ref. 6062). The nickname "Padellone", which is Italian for "fryingpan", was given to this model at that time because of its size, 38 mm (which today is smaller than the average watch). This particular sized model is more rare than two smaller-cased models with the Reference 817.
As has already been mentioned, the auction featured many of the same models and others that we had previously discussed when discussing the sales at Sotheby's or Antiquorum. We will not go into detail about these models despite the high prices and excellent quality. Patek Philippe, with its combination of perpetual calendar and chronograph, has been the most popular watch type. It was sold for more than $100,000 five times.Tudor Replica Watches The second most expensive watch, Reference 2499, which earned $725,000 is at the top of this list. The 1960 model was made with yellow gold and is part of the second series Reference 2499. Next, the Reference 5970 is the only model with this combination of complications. It was made in 2011, and has a yellow-gold casing. This model's exclusivity is further enhanced by the fact it is the last perpetual-calendar chronograph from the brand to have the Geneva seal of approval on its movement, which was recently replaced by the brand’s own certificate. This watch was worth $353,000. This chrono perpetual calendar was the seventh most expensive chrono perpetual calendar. It is a Reference 1518 in gold, which was made in 1946 (five year after Reference 1518 became the first series produced chronograph perpetual calendar) and received $341,000. The Ref 5970 white gold was the last one to be awarded. It received $118,750.
