This is the type of watch that only comes link to link auction every 20 link years or so, Selmoni added. We covered a similar white gold minute repeater way back in 2012 – that one sold for CHF 363,000. Don't be surprised if this one commands similar interest. Phillips gives it an estimate of $100,000 to $200,000 which is strikingly (get it?) modest.

One thing I haven't pointed out yet is maybe the most subtle thing on an otherwise unsubtle watch but the lugs nearest the nose of the Serpenti are the fangs. Technically if you're link a herpetologist I think you'd agree that these would qualify as solenoglyphous fangs long link hollow okay sort of and articulated. They help with the wearability of the watch and conform link better to the wrist on the hand-stitched rubber strap with velcro.
