First I was a little disappointed about the perception and the comments droping here and there.
Most of them simply copy from Phillips initial words, but very little were able to provide an own opinion.
And that from such bright and illuminated bunch of Watch Experts.
What would be my main points, what wasn't said yet.
- How to compare this watch to others in the horological history - Phillips Auctions suggested to look at the Minute Repeaters from James Schulz and Patek Phillippe, that's a hint in the right direction. But the J Schulz - really? Would you put him without question beside the valued output of the Grand Haute Horologie Maisons? OK, I wouldn't. No way.
- Why not look to the others you would expect able to have similar output? Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Haas Neveux and others
- Why not look to the other first timers and first innovators? Cartier: The Santos-Dumont, PP: The first wrist watch Minute Repeater, ...
- Why not look further at the great provenance watches? The Graves, The Packard, The Count de Boisrouvray - the many significant others in V&C history.
- Why not tell the people some further details about the provenance. The incedible life of those super rich in the South Americas, outperforming the elité and also the aristocracy form the Old World.
- What about the last auctions? The top relevant PP watches - all bought back form the owner Philippe Stern. What does this mean for valuation of such rare watches? Are they, by far, under valuated?
