It's amazing to think such a fine piece would be used by the military. Different times. regards, Bill

 

The last one I saw at auction, a few years back, I believe also at Sotheby's, sold,for 125k or so.
ive spent far too much time drooling over the goldberger (and Paramico) videos on hodinkee.

 

Interesting how he just wipes the cheese knife off on his jacket sleeve before using it to pop open these expensive watches! Obviously he's opened a few watches.

that's just lovely

 

These used to go for about £20k, the last Sotheby's went for about £65k. It turned a 'grail' into unobtanium....

 

Numbers are as popcorn.....?

News from Geneve from Christie's …. plus hammer's premium, VAT ecc ecc

 

I believe there's another for sale tomorrow at Sotheby's just in case you missed out on today's.

 

£60k/$100k incl. buyers premium.

 

I think the box and cleaner dial certainly worth the extra 25k Chf!
