90% sure the empty box will outperform yellow gold watch
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 reduces your risk as a seller, even if the box is cost neutral.
In a supercharged market, it's possible the bottom could fall out quickly. Having five ready suitors instead of two is a good thing. I'm taking a hard pass on the whole Nautilus craze, but if I was in this field to make a living or I was a collector looking to cash out, I would be willing to pony up for the box. $5,000 extra profit for an hour of bidding and a couple hours dealing with the auction house and logistics is an efficient use of work time.
People use these cork box to enhance the value of their Patek 3700
I know the seller very well and Infact this gentleman has sold one box earlier for same price .
Hmm..
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.
I see nothing more irrational here than the passion that drives us
in many parts of the world for than amount one could feed a familly for years
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...;-) ...
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 !
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.
