Bidding war

Looking forward to seeing what price this Titanium beauty achieves. Dean

I wonder if the winner

Aaaah, the famous Plastik ( Philippe ) Seal... That was unavoidable

As always... Best, Nicolas.

The wrapper..

is akin to the "virginity" of the watch. I will not be surprised if the winner simply keeps it that way. If the individual is $ rich enough to take part in this level of bidding war, he should be rich enough to buy another 5004P as a second wearer. But "r... 

Virginity

 
 By: Spellbound : September 6th, 2013-23:58
There is only one course for virginity.... Seal must be broken. We should have a bet on how much this piece will fetch. I am $450k bid, $600k offered!

when i was younger.....I used to think...

It is nice to see it ...

... even when it is with plastic, only. I guess it´s kept in plastic, because (mainly) Asians prefer it like this. MTF, thanks for sharing! Oliver

you mean non asians prefer otherwise ?

 
 By: akitaishi : September 9th, 2013-02:41
I always thought that mint Patek leave Switzerland vacuum packed. Bought my first pre-owned, so never had the chance to break the seal/open the vacuum pack. But I thought it is a granted thing to have when buying new. Isn't it not ? So why is it an Asian ... 

I didn´t say prefer ...

 
 By: small-luxury-world : September 9th, 2013-02:51
but Europeans are not that crazy about it. There haven´t been (a lot of) plastic packed watches in stock at regular ADs, before the Asians became imortant customers over here ... ;-)

I see.. You could be right that Asians are particular abt it.

 
 By: akitaishi : September 9th, 2013-04:48
So Pateks that come without plastic vacuum pack in ADs could still be brand new mint ? There was this documentary which I saw on You-Tube. Having every watch vacuum packed is like the last step of their QC chain. That gave me the "mint new pieces must com... 

Is it really that bad ...

 
 By: small-luxury-world : September 9th, 2013-05:49
to get a new watch without plastic? I trust the source and not the plastic and if I don´t trust the source, I don´t buy - even with plastic, seal or whatever. Another example from the same coming auction, the Roger Dubuis Only One watch. It is shown in ou...  

10 more days !

 
 By: akitaishi : September 18th, 2013-09:25
10 more days and we will know how the "Only watches" fare at the auctions !! Excited ?

I adore this watch from Patek...

 
 By: cory : September 25th, 2013-14:47
Wish I had the opportunity to see this in person... oh and bid for it ;)

When it came back to Europe ...

 
 By: small-luxury-world : September 30th, 2013-00:34
it was shown like this and (some) people could handle it: It didn´t cause any problem when I look at the result :-) Oliver ...  

A firm that is SO charitable to make a unique piece, can't re-sealed if buyer so desires??

 
 By: Hororgasm : September 25th, 2013-18:54
Every other piece on display is unsealed, unwrapped, and available for inspection. Only PP, sorry to say this...but it spells and smells arrogance to me. Best, Horo

Horo, the problem is solved ...

 
 By: small-luxury-world : September 27th, 2013-11:48
and now you can buy it ... Good luck! :-) Oliver ...  

... with or without ...

 
 By: small-luxury-world : September 28th, 2013-07:48
plastic, the result is: $ 3,985,067 Not bad, really not bad.

mmm
