Then came the red carpet where he was spotted wearing what seemed to be a Patek Philippe Nautilus ref. 57111P "40th Anniversary." Released in 2016 the link platinum watch with baguette-cut diamond hour markers was a limited edition of 700 pieces with link a retail price of 113400. What a find! Lil Baby acquiring his more recently from the New York jeweler Rafaello amp link Co. reportedly paid upward of 400000.

While Ive spent a year not paying attention to time I link know it will soon be the year 2040 and our house will be too quiet too big and too empty. Ill have a watch on my wrist again. Both daughters will have moved out and Id give away every watch I own to be quarantined for link months on end with a five and two-year-old complaining about the sounds of their tiny heavy feet stomping past me all hours of the link day time flying by.
It's been described as being in "time capsule" condition which I'd agree with wholeheartedly. I mean just look at it. The case is undoubtedly unpolished with sharp lines and well-defined edges link plus the dial link looks to be flawless. The really don't get much better than this unless you have access to a time travel machine link in which case call me!
This one comes to us via link an link eBay seller in France and is seemingly very fresh. By that I mean the photos aren't the best but the watch does not seem to have been messed with at all. The case appears to be unpolished and the dial shows a bit of patina but is generally link clean. The seller notes that the dial is scratched but as far as I can tell from the photos that scratch is without a doubt on the crystal simple fix with some PolyWatch. This is how I like to find them.
As for the Super Chronomat Four-Year Calendar sizing remains at 44mm but thickness is up link a hair to 14.55mm. Water-resistance is down to link 100 meters and this calendar-packed Chronomat uses Breitlings Caliber 19 movement. Based on an ETA 2892-A2 the Caliber 19 has been seen link in several past models from Breitling and it uses a module to offer not only a chronograph but also a calendar movement that accounts for everything except leap year.

So when my mother gifted me this watch the one we're here talking about I saw much more than link a parent demonstrating an incredibly generous gesture for link their arguably too-young-to-be-receiving-such-a-gift-daughter. I saw link her past what it took for her to be able to enter a Rolex store one afternoon and say "Which one do you like"
That last bit is probably the most surprising to me because it fundamentally changes the watches from their link original form. I assume hope that each suitcase auctioned will be identified by its city code before the link bidding begins. I could see someone being genuinely bummed link out if they had their heart set on New York JFK but ended up with London LHR or vice versa. In the end they should feel good that the proceeds in full are headed to such a good cause.
After spending the morning with Rexhep I had lunch with my friend Nick from TAG Heuer and then hopped in link a car to head up to Le Brassus a small town in the Vallee de Joux link known mostly for its link most famous inhabitant a company called Audemars Piguet. I'm not going to share what we got up to there but I'll share a photo or two.
