I just thought it's fake luking at that condition. I mean have you seen the condition of some of the 6263s some are offering- they luk fully refurbished. When the mkt price goes x10 above production costs there are enuf artisans to fill that gap.

but no fingerprints ;-) [nt]

How to explain in one picture the creation of the 5212 and the 6007...;-))

Seriously, it's no doubt an irrational market, but these estimates are *way* below previous cork box sales, so expect wonders...;-) ...  

Mamma Mia!

Someone's dollars were burning a hole in their pocket !

It is crazy all right

But it is the most beautiful and daring watch box that I know of. Can you imagine how many people threw them away after 5-10 years in their drawers?

Agreed! Patek should revert back to that shape of boxes and ditch the current coffins they give

The current cuff link boxes are ideal size !

Not filled with tritium???

Here is a correct one: ...  

Well, the watch is made of gold, so of course it will sell for more than the box ; )

...all kidding aside, there is a market for everything. I've seen a few questionable valuations of things that I consider junk on this very board. The beauty is, nobody is forced to buy these things.

90% sure the empty box will outperform yellow gold watch

 
 By: jmpTT : July 7th, 2020-10:34
It makes perfect sense to buy the box if you already have the watch and you're looking to sell. Quick look at Chrono24 suggests a premium of about 20,000 USD for the box. Having the box will also increase the number of offers made on the watch, so it redu... 

what is gold, its just a metal.

its the supply and demand thats make the price
