Both are somewhat shocking
I think $60,000 is about $35,000 too much for the one. Yellow gold and plain ivory enamel dial in excellent condition should probably be much closer to $25,000.
I think $19,200 is way too much for a 2526 with such cracks in the dial, plus I would suppose it needs an overhaul by the looks of the crystal, plus new hands, and maybe even new batons.
For me the value of a 2526 is almost entirely in the dial. If the dial is no good, then the watch really cannot be restored. If the dial is good, then other faults are minor, assuming the movement either works or can be restored.
Just for the record, I'm happy to report that there are not many things in life more satisfying than wearing a 2526 in perfect condition.

I cannot recall whether the condition report stated that the one dial was down but unlees you personally inspect the piece you might not have known Caveat emptor! Julian
I should clarify that I am talking about the 60k one. That
said unless someone can tell me that there was something special about the watch????? JohnLy

Very nice Julian...
I'm not a bracelet person and prefer straps but that Julian looks very nice! Roni
I was going to get a strap (fawn or tan couloured) but
decided to stay with the gold band Julian
Absolutely stunning.....
2526 is indeed the most beautiful Patek time only watches. According to my good friend, it is very robust too and not really fragile. The dial only have issue when you send in for servicing and the watchmaker may overtighten it and cracks the dial. I wond...
