Phillips Auction Results: November 2025... Watches: Decade One
Well ladies and gents, true independent watch making is thriving quite well. Wonder how much is Bitcoin Bros or Ai guys, and how much are typical collectors or Wall Street finance bros cashing out before the upcoming crash? www.phillips.com/auction/CH0804...
CHF 14,190,000.... $17,620,000 USD. MANY new records on MANY brands.
There's great desire for horological masterpieces. 👍😎
What about them? Simon Brette was a strong sale as were many, many other independents.
Crazy prices, or a run to known quality as currency is too risky to keep in any large amount.
Agreed
We all know auctions are heavily manipulated. Brands literally bid on them to drive up prices, or have friends do it, etc... The delta in pricing at auction and private sales is HUGE too. I have seen some of these watches on Moda or other places for a lot...
Well, YES it seems some Big Box Store Trilogy brands MUST buy up, and highly BID UP their products.................. or else the **true street price** would be realized to the public. Check out MODA, instead.
I'm happy we don't have to endlessly endure them saying over and over and over again "rare and important" on typical mass-production watches as auctioneers did during past auctions. It's a circus, sure, they all know the score. Have a feeling the market r...
Eyeballing a few that sold closer to their actual street prices.
In no particular order. The Urwerk UR-110 is a watch I’ve always liked. And the blue dial white gold Daytona…and any Dy Date with an interesting dial. Note, I didn’t look very close at any of these. I did not read the condition reports. But then again a l...
Really, why? i think true independents are winners here as smart collectors know the difference. Perhaps the market realizes the difference between truly vintage / rare, and just another modern mass production timepiece.
We live in interesting times Amanico, and the auction results this weekend may have more to do with the run to items of value while removing the various problems widely associated with Dollar, Yen, Pound, Euro, etc currencies. Great auction results, and i...
What makes it so special? My wife got her great condition with orig box/orig papers WT with bling for less than half that.
Wonder how many of these PP made? The below watch might be more rare than the auction piece you mentioned. ...
Put one for sale on MODA and see what it gets?
MODA has, usually, been a good wholesale indicator for sales / price of watches.
Chrono24 bwaaaaa-hahahahahahahahah hahahahahahah... is hopium-pricing. Full retail +++. Go visit MODA, dealers trade there and 'street' prices are realized.
You are very experienced, guess i must ask why would you believe Chrono24 for best pricing ??? Go visit MODA for the latest pricing 👍
Auctions are fun, between hints of possible money laundering and 'charity pricing' strictly for Headlines, they serve their marketing purpose.
The sheer amount of marketing, both paid for, influencer supported, etc posts and articles coming up this week will be inspiring! Horology picked a great moment for marketing to the most wealthy just before the holidays 👍
That is without the (27%) buyer's premium.
Buyer will need to pay CHF 82.55K or about EUR 88.6K - see below: The potential absence of US-based buyers (due to the import tariffs) don't seems to impact the results. ...
MODA is also, like all the other markets auctions included, open to manipulation of prices.
Plenty of scams and plenty of not so honest watches on there.
Perhaps, tho it's moderated so they do act.
Of course nothing is perfect, so just join and look at prices. Auctions are rarely a 'value play', the fees are crazy. But for Bitcoin Bros and people with stacks of currency to move to someone else, they do serve a purpose. MODA is worth keeping an eye o...
