LOT 150:
Patek Philippe 530 "Gobbi, Milano" @ Christie's
This Patek 530 chronograph is more common than the three previous marvels. However, beyond its fabulous aesthetic totally out of Patek's classic standards, its particularity is that it is brand new.
Of course, it has been sold in 1956, but it is pristine, not at 99% but at 99.99%; one was almost afraid to take pictures of it for fear of downgrading it to 99.98%. This 36mm rose gold chronograph is powered by a magnificent 13 lignes caliber.
When wearing this watch, you will feel like you just got out of its original retailer's store, Gobbi from Milano, and to be immersed in the heat of the Italian Dolce Vita from the 50's.
Estimation : 600,000 - 1,200,000 CHF
Final bid 12 november 2012 @ Christie's Geneva: 987,000 CHF
