A single swallow, or a real sign of a great summer ahead?

 

I realize we don’t talk about prices here, but from time to time we do discuss auction results (a lesser evil than used/gray prices).


This one merits some exposure and discussion I think. 


Earlier today in HK this RRCC01 from Rexhep Rexhepi brought US$ 922,000 (rounded down to the nearest dollar). 


The watch is one of 25 produced, and has a gran feu enamel dial.  


It was the first CC to come to auction.  


I know there are many Rexhep owners and supporters here.  I’ve met him once, earlier on, and he was gracious and nice.  He was very appreciative of the F.P. Vagabondage I was wearing when I met him (a watch he told me he is a big fan of, and obviously has some familiarity with given his history with Journe). 


So what do people think of this result? 


Is it the announcement of the new generation?  


A final nail in the coffin of the “older generation” indies?


Is it a single swallow that will not make a summer?
