    Hi all,

    Did you guys notice the Phillips sale? Mostly Patek en R brought great prices but I noticed a aquatimer 1812 for 20.000 cfh and a jubilee 5441 SS at 19.000 so I guess they are more and more appreciated!

    as a matter of fact I had a slightly different impression from the important auction on last Sunday in Geneva...
    bit surprised to realize that some real sought-after vintage ingenieurs for example remained unsold...similarly a gorgeous minute repeater at an unbeatable offered price...other watches like the AT VC in Pt or a Da Vinchi of the first generations achieved quite modest results...
    was wondering what others actually think on that...

    If only IWC were one of the bidder like the other counterpart......

    Do you have a link to the unsold ingenieurs ? I can only see the sold IWC's.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Martijn, i think the Phillips catalogue says it was a ref 325 , german edition, so not a 5441 !
    That means the Aquatimer sold for more than a ref 325....... from a 57 piece edition.

    Hi Simius , how/why do the unsold Phillips pieces end up at the antiquorum after sale shop. Are they in the same company group ?

    Thanks Simius I thought it was the Phillips auction not the one at W of K.

    Don't forget that these results are inclusive of 25% buyer's premium.
    A good result for a very crisp black dial 812 Aquatimer.
    A really quite POOR result by Phillips for an almost new-old-stock last series 325...
    Best,

    Klonk- Antiquorum is another auction house, so this was another sale...

    haven't seen the watch personally, but someone must have been very lucky to get a 'missing link' series Portuguese, 1 out of 57, at this bargain price....

    You guys are right on that Portuguese! You can see also the drilled luggs for the pushpins.

    That was a bargain... So my title of this thread is incorrect. I was mistaken by this 812 result.

    On the new watches that minute repeater is amazing with that script all written!
