Life Delights

Patek Philippe people should be excited at the news from the Christie’s auction in Geneva which is really inspiring and good for the brand itself, a special Patek Philippe watch made in 1944 set a new price record at $5.637 million at that auction. It sounds crazy that more than 5.6 million dollars just go for a watch. With that huge amount of money, we can buy not a few luxury watches even from the top 10 watch brands. And this record breaking watch has nothing special except that it is an only watch bearing the name of Patek Philippe. This extra-high price actually indicates that watch collectors and investors still have confidence in Patek Philippe watches as the items of best investing value.

This watch is the patek philippe Ref.1527 which probably made as a prototype for experiment as there was no any classic 1527 listed in Patek’s record-setting watches. Having a chronograph, 1527 is in fact more complex than the Patek Philippe Ref.1518 which is highly loved. And the larger size, over 37mm at diameter, makes it more unique among watches made in the war era. Yes, the 37mm is even a bit small in today’s standard. But in 1940s, it was large. Besides, the case design is a bit avant-garde. And according to Christie’s auction,. 1527’s last show at auction was about 20 years ago.

Before the auction started, the estimated price for 1527 was less than $2.5 million. But the resulted price was far higher than that. The craze of Patek collectors is just unbelievable. It seems that each time a Patek Philippe watch enters an auction house, it is ready to get a ultra-high price. And And that is what happens.Despite all that, I believe Patek’s auction prices will fall after breaking records over records. You can consider Patek Philippe replica watches.
