Again the sky is still the limit. See above the most expensive Rolex ever sold at auction, the ex Eric Clapton Albino Daytona from my dear italian friend who believed in it already many years ago, which finally reached 1.32 million all in…

Sitting in my garden rethinking about what happened in Geneva last auction weekend I come to the conclusion that the market is still healthy developing although some big players where very aggressively buying this time. Nicknamed “number one” was solo buying more then 50 % of the Phillips Day Date sale and day later also very strong buyer at their sale “ONE”. Almost nobody had a chance to overbid him on the top lots as it seems that he and his wealthy clients are pushing unlimited funds into vintage watches.
Now lets be realistic, when Christies sells a single Picasso for $179 million, it’s no comparison with the total watch sale results of some 50-60 million by all auction houses last weekend. Meaning the über rich can influence the watch auctions quite easily and thus this is actually happening, hence we see very strong results.”cornering the market” seems better for them then “money on the bank”.

Therefor it’s not a surprise that those rare watches in great quality went even higher in price then estimated, something I’m telling you since many years, honest patina, no matter the reference or brand, is the future in collecting. Was I surprised this weekend? Yes of the crazy result for the mono pusher Patek Philippe where bidding took like 40 minutes before it reach 4 million hammer, all in that’s CHF 4,645,000,=!! As you see below its a attractive design but not really great in condition, therefor I was surprised to see it triple the already high estimate.

Only 4 examples of the Albino are known in the market so far. Up close we see a interesting handset, MK1 bezel and pushers, lume dots missing at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock..

Ultra rare platina Day Dates, from the special Phillips – Pucci Day Date auction of 60 exceptional examples going for 4 times low estimate making it a huge succes. Although i’m a vintage Rolex addict, most collectors know that I’m not very in love with this reference, somehow I like the look but would never actually wear one and as that’s my essence, I think that these results will not easily be beaten in the future. The maximum has been achieved and it will take many years from now to come even close the results we saw now.

500.000 for a Day Date, the Big Kahuna with engine turned dial with diamonds…

Complicated “old school” Patek versus bright Day Dates in the back, the fashion in collecting makes some results difficult to explain, emotion vs ratio..
