Etnt Turbocharged May 10, 2022 Share May 10, 2022 On 5/5/2022 at 11:38 AM, Throttle2 said: So glad that some speculators are getting screwed as prices come off at least 20% on the way over retail stuff. overhyped models which we are all so familiar with. This is bound to happen when real collectors like me are not buying. You get flippers and dealers buying from each other pushing prices up. Only the occasional unfortunate collector buys and pays stupid price. So many private flippers and dealers came into the market in the last two years. They buy not becos they want to wear the watch or keep the watch. They buy becos there was easy money to be made. Lets see which one really kena HK….. muayhahaha still waiting for things to setttle back to pre-covid days. Now wanna get anything also no stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didu Supercharged May 11, 2022 Share May 11, 2022 BREAKING NEWS: Gérald Genta’s personal Audemars Piguet Royal Oak smashes world record auction price Gérald Genta’s personal Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has smashed the world record for the most expensive vintage AP watch to be sold at auction with a hammer price of $2,130,767 at today’s Sotheby’s sale in Geneva. The connection to Gérald Genta, who designed the Royal Oak ahead of its launch in 1972, sparked a bidding war between seven collectors, who took six minutes to drive the price beyond $2 million. “In a year that celebrates the 50th anniversary of this revolutionary and iconic design by Gérald Genta, the magnitude of this record-breaking sale is a tribute to the continued influence of, and respect for, Genta’s far-reaching and historic contribution to the watchmaking industry,” says Mikael Wallhagen, head of Sotheby’s Watches in Geneva. “One could not dream of a more exciting and important provenance for a Royal Oak, an Audemars Piguet or even any wristwatch, added to which, it carries a unique handmade feature by Genta himself. All of these elements set this very watch apart from any other, making it a true grail piece. Over the course of my career, rarely have I seen such an emotional response to any horological object, both by connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike, making today’s result all the more rewarding,” he adds. The record breaking Royal Oak is unique, not only because it is the first time a Genta owned watch has come to auction, but also because the model, which was made around 1978, has the an 18ct yellow gold bezel that Mr Genta produced and added himself at his workshop in Switzerland. https://usa.watchpro.com/breaking-news-gerald-gentas-personal-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-smashes-world-record-auction-price/ 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
