Thought it was worth sharing - coming up at Bonhams on 6/20. Pretty similar to the one sold at Christie’s in 2012.

Looking at the high res photos, it looks legit to me? Needs a new crown though 😁

Never seen that dial. Will it surpass the AS Speedy? I think it has potential to triple it… my guess is 180k or so.

I would'nt pay 50 bucks for it. But I do like the historical context. Always great to see a cloisonne dial. Thnx for posting!

The example of 2012 went for 243 000 CHF. Quite a premium for a crown and less patina considering the price it went today.

One of this example was at Philips approx. one or two years ago if I remember well...
Anyways, these are stunning dials, you need skills to produce a cloisonné dial

Or fewer prospective buyers willing to pay that kind of money for that particular model.
