This sold at Antiquorum for $21k US in 2008.



What would it go for now?

 

Depends on what all the dealers who have touched it since then have done to it.



I'd guess around $40k.

 

A true tropical dial + lollipop chrono hand = a big number. I’d guess that dealers would ask for a number north of $60K.

 

With a base1000 bezel, lollipop, and a beautiful tropical dial?

100k+

Were you the buyer in 2008?

 

If only I had the foresight.

A thing of beauty, it would be difficult to sell at any price.

 

The case looks gorgeous, too...

 

I could have had the foresight but, in 2008, I wouldn't have been able to spend this money on that watch anyway so no regrets at all.

It can become hard to move forward if you're spending too much time on the past

 

Then I'll gladly take any of your burdensome watches from the past. PM sent.
