Stainless-Steel Patek Philippe Mono-Pusher Chronograph Becomes The Most Expensive Steel Ever Sold, And The Third Most Expensive Wristwatch Ever
A few weeks back, I wrote a story that there were four watches in this sale that could, and should break 0.89€m. As it would happen, four was indeed the number of pieces that broke the hallowed seven-figure mark, including three of the four I mentioned. We'll get to more on that later. The watch that we all knew would break a million was the steel mono-pusher, sector-dial chronograph from Patek Philippe. The watch is simply a perfect storm of rarity, desirability, and cool factor. The room was absolutely electric as the bidding climbed over 0.89€m, and then continued to creep upward before finally settling at 4m Swiss. After commission and by today's exchange rates, that is 4,444,345.42€
We all knew it would go high, but I truly don't think anyone expected it to go this high. The 130 is now the most expensive stainless-steel watch ever sold, and the third most expensive wristwatch in history. Truly unbelievable results. You can view the lot here.

£185 λιρόνια.
Εδώ σε μεγαλύτερη ανάλυση, σε διαφορετικό χρώμα:
http://www.jacobtime.com/osc/images/a/AT4110-55E.jpg
Το έχω εδώ και κάποιο καιρό στο amazon wishlist γιατί τικάρει όλα τα κουτάκια μου, εκτός ίσως από το χρώμα που θα το προτιμούσα λίγο πιο muted (σαν της 2ης εικόνας). Καλό μοντέλο για το βεληνεκές της τσέπης μου, ευπαρουσίαστο χωρις να είναι καγκούρικο. Ευανάγνωστες ενδείξεις. No nonsense λειτουργία, ήτοι ηλιακό, ατομικός συχρονισμός (+perpetual calendar), κρύσταλλο από ζαφείρι. Το μόνο περιττό που έχει πάνω είναι τα αμερικάνικα timezones και το slide rule.
Τ' ομολογώ, με τρώει ο κώλος μου να το χτυπήσω.
Γκεάκο τι λες, να πατήσω buy now;

Αν δεν απατώμαι, η Breguet ήταν αυτή που δημιούργησε το πρώτο tourbillon και δεν νομίζω ότι οι τιμές είναι συγκλονιστικά γήινες από τα Patek για αντίστοιχα complications.

Έρωτας (...απραγματοποίητος) :
Up Close With The Patek Philippe 5170G, Black Dial With Breguet Numerals (Original Photos & Price)
Introduced at Baselworld 2015, the Ref. 5170G-010 is the latest iteration of Patek Philippe's hand-wind chronograph, featuring a black dial with Breguet numerals, and the best looking yet.
Neither novel nor creative, the combination of Breguet numerals and feuille (leaf-shaped) hands nevertheless works well. Extremely well in fact, making the Patek Philippe Ref. 5170G-010 that only just made its debut at Baselworld its most attractive looking chronograph to date.
The dial is a "black opaline", which means it's a deep black, semi-glossy finish. All the numerals are made of white gold and applied to the dial, meaning they are secured with pins underneath. All the printed markings and text are stark white, giving the deal a clean, monochromatic appeal.
Dial details
Two important features give the dial of the new 5170G a look totally distinct from the earlier Ref. 5170G-001 (which continues in production alongside this one). One is the removal of the pulsometer, leaving the dial less cluttered since the outer minute track is now larger. And that means neither chronograph register intersects with the minute track as they did on the earlier model.
The second feature are the leaf hands, instead of sword-shaped hands. Leaf hands lend a vintage feel, unsurprisingly since they are probably the most common style of hands in historical Patek Philippe chronographs.
The powers that be at Patek Philippe clearly believe this dial style works - the brand also unveiled alongside the new Ref. 5170 at Baselworld was the Ref. 5370P rattrapante chronograph with the same design features. If there is one criticism of this look is that the look is conservative, something that is enhanced by the sharp contrast of black and white. This aesthetic is safe, and easy to like.
Dial aside the Ref. 5170-010 is exactly the same as the other chronographs of this reference. The white gold case is the same, with a diameter of 39.4 mm.
What's inside
The calibre CH 29-535 PS found inside is also identical, with the jumping seconds counter and patented tooth profiles that are unique to this calibre. Visually the movement is appealing, with just the right combination of artisanal and mechanical finishing to make it attractive yet viable. (For a detailed explanation of the technical details of the movement, look at the article on the Ref. 5271P chronograph with perpetual calendar.)
The Breguet overcoil is just visible above, and notably the hairspring is Nivarox, not silicon.
Chronograph levers, forming a pigeon's head
The spring for the jumping minute counter
Lighter on the wallet
One major difference between this and the earlier models is the price. At SFr71,500 or S$104,000, the Ref. 5170G-010 costs significantly less than the earlier models did at their respective launch dates, as a consequence of Patek Philippe's recent price reductions in some markets to ensure price parity globally - something I predicted last year.
At that price the Ref. 5170 now costs essentially the same as the equivalence from Vacheron Constantin and Lange (specifically the Harmony chronograph and Datograph in gold respectively). The effect is that Patek Philippe's traditional price premium relative to its competitors has been erased, something that applies to most of its offerings. That should, in theory, make this a compelling buy.

Introducing The DB25 Quetzalcoatl, With Solid-Gold Hand-Engraved Dial
TUESDAY MARCH 17, 2015
Leave it to De Bethune to take the themed watch to new levels. The just-announced DB25 Quetzalcoatl is inspired by an important deity in ancient Mesoamerican civilization which, according to folklore, not only controlled "the cycle of time," but also influenced agriculture and protected both artisans and goldsmiths. For this limited-edition release in homage to this deity, De Bethune once again enlisted the talents of Michèle Rothen to engrave every solid-gold dial with a coiled, feathered serpent surrounded by hour indexes in the shape of ancient temples.
Earlier this year at SIHH, De Bethune released another limited edition watch in the DB25 product family – the DB25T Zodiac. Unlike the Zodiac, which features solid-gold hand-engraved inlays for the hour indexes, the DB25 Quetzalcoatl applies this technique to the entire meticulously-crafted dial. Of particular appeal is the way that engraver Michèle Rothen has utlized both matte and polished finishes to create greater visual depth. The grained surfaces of the temple tops (inspired by the Tenochtitlan Templo Mayor) and surroundings are also notable for giving the dial an archaic, yet still luxurious, look.
Ultimately, the Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent) is still the star of the dial, with its coiled body positioned right in the center of what De Bethune calls "mirolight guilloché." The serpent is designed in such a way to indicate the hours and minutes in an unusual fashion: the head, with its extended tongue, points to the temple-like hour indexes, while the tail indicates the minutes. From the various orientations of the head and tail in the press photos, it appears that the serpent is able to maintain a coiled and relatively anatomically-correct position as these two sections move around the dial at independent rates.
Extravagant engraving and concept aside, the DB25 Quetzalcoatl remains a product of the De Bethune manufacture, and as such contains a well-designed and nicely-finished in-house movement (Calibre DB2005, to be exact). This manually-wound movement consists of 173 parts and a number of technical features including a twin-barrel set-up that offers 6 days (144 hours) of power reserve.
At 30 mm in diameter, the movement fits just fine within the 44 mm (by 12.5 mm thick) white-gold case. The cooly-toned case metal provides a welcome contrast to the warm gold dial, which would otherwise be overhwelmed by a rose or yellow-gold case.
Undoubtedly, this watch was created with very particular collectors in mind – either those unabashedly dedicated to De Bethune, or others who identify deeply with the Mesoamerican cultural references. While pricing is yet to be announced for the 20-piece limited edition, expect this to be priced in line with the indepedent manufacture's other otherwordly creations.
