Watch auction 2017 - Patek Philippe 5208T-010

Patek Philippe 5208T-010 ended up being the topic of a bidding war between two Asian bidders and was eventually sold for CHF 6.200.000,-, nearly six time its high estimate. The reasons for this are almost evident, as a piece unique Patek Philippe is always one of the most desired timepieces. This one also combines an instantaneous perpetual calendar, with a chronograph and a minute repeater. More replica Patek Philippe.

Its case is crafted from titanium, which is a material very rarely used by Patek Philippe, making the watch all the more rare. Also, titanium is one of the best materials to make the case of a minute repeater from, as it carries the sound better than many other metals.

Ref. 5208T-010: movement, caliber R CH 27 PS QI, self-winding chronograph with minute repeater, and instantaneous perpetual calendar with day/night indication. Titanium case, 42mm x 15.11 mm with two casebacks, one solid titanium and the other with sapphire crystal. Dust and humidity protected (not water resistant). Blue dial with hand-guilloché "carbon" pattern, gold applied indexes with luminous coating. Cordura strap with folding clasp.
