private treaty prices.
I have more than a little experience with Dualities (5 out of the 9) and find the final price with buyer's premium about "market" based on transactions where I was not involved as a principal. When I was involved as a principal, I always gave priority to potential buyers whom I felt or knew to be serious horological aficionados, rather than highest offers (delta to the multiple $10's of thousands of USD) - stupid to 999/1000 people, I know, but I respect Mr. Dufour's work too much to do otherwise.
All of above said, the results seems about market correct, given Simplicity prices and demand.
Congrats to the new owner.

Dufour Duality
Great chat below with Mr. Dufour.
Not certain if this is within forum guidelines, but given the recent lenghty threads and speculation, it is interesting to note the final price (including buyers premium) for the Duality at auction today--180,000 CHF which is about $148,000 USD.
Had the pleasure to see one in the metal just recently. What a breathtaking watch. Congratulations to the lucky buyer, who I think did pretty well.
