The enamel map of the pocket watch is so lovely ! However, the size of the “canvas” for the enamel dial of the pocket watch is....
bigger than our 5131s’ and therefore the craftsmanship for the 5131s IMO is just as good now ! Your thoughts on this point ?
Yep, also not into pocket watches, though it would be quite amazing to have such a unique, magnificent rare handcraft piece! ;-)

I can assure you of one thing Fab, the results WILL continue to shock tomorrow as well...
I have been following auctions since 2008 and have an excel program and tracker for ALL results by model, reference, etc... This auction is ALREADY an outlier. We can communicate offline or via PM if you like since I don't want to tarnish this thread in a...
