A member on WatchProsite posted a stunning 2915-1 that he wears.
I remarked with a "WOW" and asked if he knew he was wearing a million dollar watch.
Please help me find the latest auction results that I believe were published here so I know I'm not crazy.
This is it:

Do you mean the tropical dial watch? I think it was an outlier. I believe that more typically they are in the high 5-figures or low 6-figures, depending on year and condition.

Thanx for posting. The watch I asked about is the one I've shown above. Not too bad 🥰

Aaah Mr ‘All The Rest is Rust’-y Watch Guy … especially the underpants after seeing his watch collection 😀

Were there photos of this watch NOT at an angle? At a glance, I'm skeptical of the bezel, the bracelet is clearly well worn, and the indices do not show the normal patina age that is most common on the 2915s I've owned and handled. Of course, the box is a nice touch, but it's just a thing to rest the watch on for photos. I'd need better photos to know if the hands have been re filled, but the dial, to me, is not very attractive.

This is not a million dollar watch

Sotheby’s offered a 2915 that failed to sell in Geneva, around 200k from memory

Phillips have one coming in June at 80k low estimate

and that bezel - no.

I was hoping you would respond in addition to the previous posts. Now I know what it isn't 🤦
However his 220 bezel Speedy looks plenty good to me 🥰
