I see

 

Well to me it is quite strange that there should be a change of the guard as Dufour's watches are generally acknowledged to have the best Swiss finishing followed by possibly Kari so for me, to see Rexhep leap frogging them both in terms of auction results is quite baffling.  Of course one might argue that movement finishing is not the only consideration which is totally understandable but surely then a Rexhep dial being preferred over a magnificent Kari dial would raise quite a few eyebrows.  At the end of the day, perhaps it was just down to availability  - the Chronometre Contemporain are all sold out whereas Voutilainens are still available.
