·I am really getting obsessed with those 2998s. I just love that reference and all this subtle differences reminds me why I love vintage watches. So here we have another nice 2998 on auction.
Very low refernce number, correct one.
The dial is very beautiful. It's a huge pros. It is not perfect but this just makes it even more interesting for me. And tips the scales in the favor of being geniuine, right? We've seen here some oven baked dials, or at least had suspicion about it. In this 2998-1 dial feels right to me and very attractive.
The patina on hour indexes and hands are nice and fits the dial as well.
Hands are correct. There is a curve on it when you zoom closely. Or at least I can see it (or just have good imagination).
Crown is correct 24 teeth and puchers are dirty on the bottoms which is good! Make sense with the age of the watch.
I miss more pictures...that's a shame. And I heard some unflattering opinions about Antiquorum.
I'd love to hear some opinions from forum experts on this watch. What do you think about the case? Is it even possible to evalute with so few pictures?
Estimates are $21K - 42 which seems fine for me. In last two years I remember three 2998-1and 2s with such a milk chocolate brown dials. One was at Phillips in famous 2021 auction (the one with 3 million dollar 2915) and the other two at Phillips in 2020. All three sold for over 100K.
