Qualitatively I agree (in the sense that it's technically the same as the "old" reference 6000), but it's such a unicorn that it would be quite a dream to have... An incredibly special one is also the 3928T ;-)

One of the twelve (the 5033T) will be on the market again next month with Christie's. Even here, go figure how "funny" some auctions are presented: this entire (and quite amazing) private collection that will be on sale in a series of auctions is advertised as the "Titanium and ruby Collection", even though the 5033T seems to be the only Titanium piece available.... No doubt it may be viewed as the top lot, but still...;-) Cheers.

wins ?

One of my dreams of the last couple of days? A 6007T for the next children charity auction... I honestly have no clue if this will happen, but it would be pretty amazing...;-)

Here's a thread a wrote a while ago on the allegedly only 12 (twelve!) Titanium Pateks ever produced in 181 years of history, all of course unique pieces:

Looks like I don’t have to worry about that other guy

The 6007 is more symmetrical, will be harder to get and sell from much higher % above retail. Not worried at all.

The CB, no contest. [nt]

Or should I say weight class, given the relative densities?

How is that different from other brands being manipulating in a similar manner?

Patek and Rolex come to mind...πŸ˜‰

Well rolex is not in the same horological

League as FPJ and PP as a start. But that's what I was saying ....both hVe deficiencies....FPJ stamps most its dials PP doesnt...this is a new phenomena for them

LOL ouch [nt]

That's a pretty bold statement, with direct support from FPJ. However, there is no doubt in my mind that they are stashing away pieces and manipulating the market.

 
 By: nacelle : June 23rd, 2020-05:53
They also played the market, still do, with the 5522... PP certainly knows what is going on and will do the same with the new stainless piece, look the other way. It's free enterprise, you play or don't, whether or not we like it.
