Dial is not one of the known 4 types. If this is real and the third 3448 RG, how much more than the estimate would it be worth?

pics gone, withdrawn. Obviously someone else complained

I don't have it in from of me but most of these were YG. Very rare in WG, RG, and Plat. In Rose it would be very high 6 figures and into the low millions probably depending on condition

When a myth comes true: the first pink gold reference 3448 to appear in public

THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN

 

Didn't notice that.

Yellow golds seem to be $120k and up depending on condition , provenance, etc. WG Plat are nuts

 

Not that $120k plus isn't nuts....

 

Although Yellow Gold (J) is the most pure gold, White (G) and Rose (R) have always commanded a premium.
Platinum (PT) is most expensive and most difficult to work. Complicated Pateks always most desired.

 

Although if it were stainless steel, it would probably be $1.5 million
