I agree to an extent
but there are four watches in the history of watch making that have been allocated to some very special collectors, many of whom are probably worth more than we can count. These four watches are not quite priceless but their complexities and exclusitivity...
Things are getting even more interesting (or unbelievable?), as I was looking at C24 today and now there are as many as *two* 5175 advertised on sale!
The one you saw earlier for $14.8M is still up, and now there's also one from a HK dealer for $13.7M... I never received a $1.1M discount in my life, so I'll probably buy the second just to see how it feels.
Indeed, most likely zero and zero. And some of these people are not even very good at it...
The smartest of these 5531 sellers (who's, of course, also selling a 5175) is the one that mixes pics of the NYC LE with the Lake Geneva edition... sad! ;-)
Silly exercise at the end of the day
because people will just blacklist these sellers when they find out that they do not have alleged watches.
Do post photos of your new acquisition! :-)
This gives a whole new meaning to buying on the internet!!
I try to be understanding when I see
Collectors selling there special pieces,Specially when it’s done when done twice it’s much worse,I recall you sold your 5575G and 5131R (Sealed) .Correct me if I am wrong please.
Your recollection is correct!
I loved my 5575G but most unfortunately, the watch was accidentally scratched by a friend's diamond ring and it was never the same afterwards. The 5575G remains my all time favourite world timer due to its enchanting moon and I would even consider buying ...
Maybe the owner has his own reason
As well.I am in no place to judge either you or him/her !
Point taken!
I think firstly it is worth mentioning that this watch is being advertised for more than 5 times its RRP which is quite astonishing by any standards as the watch is four years old at most. Secondly is the fact that this watch is being sold on the internet...
More likely than not!
The Grandmaster Chime is an amazing watch but $50m is a huge amount of money even for this masterpiece.
Yes, very "glad" this one was a fake ad (like probably all other 5175 ads that regularly popped up ;-) Great also to hear from Cbb that she has no intention to sell this piece!
We are speaking of a real milestone in the history of not only Patek but all of horology, so I badly hope all six of these 5175 will never change hands! ;-) Cheers.
Yep, sadly, but chances are some (or all !) of the others are also fake. Hopefully, at least with Cbb's model, after her clarification nobody got scammed or involved any further.
If any other owner of a 5175 had their pictures stolen by criminals and is reading this thread, they are of course most welcome to contact us, so to clear their name and prevent any innocent third parties from getting scammed👍 Cheers.
