Chapter 220

Of course, Wang Ye doesn’t like it, it doesn’t mean others don’t like it either.

There are still many people bidding for this Richard Miller RM  52-01, and basically people who are not old are bidding.

"The classic barrel shape, the bezel and bottom cover are made of nano TZP ceramics, and the bezel and bottom cover are polished using microblasted and hand-crafted.

The most distinctive skull located in the center of the dial is made of 18k rose gold. The metallic characteristics of rose gold and the skull symbolize the meaning of immortality, and at the same time, it evokes thoughts on the ultimate question of life and death in people's hearts."

Seeing that the auction is coming to an end, the auctioneer quickly introduces another round of introductions, hoping to push the price up a little further.

Don’t say it, there are really people who are buying this set, and there are two more people bidding.

In the end, the deal was successfully completed for US$720,000!

Wang Ye did not participate in the auction for the next few other watches. He waited until his favorite Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial watch, and he became energetic.

This watch should be the most expensive bid for this "exquisite watch" auction, because the starting price is US$2 million!

The auctioneer also cheered up and began the introduction of this final bid.

"The Patek Philippe 5002 series, hailed by collectors as the best existing work, is the most complex watch product since its inception.

The movement has 686 parts, forming 12 most important watch complex functions: including tourbillon, perpetual calendar, monthly calendar, leap year cycle, week, month, date, flyback, triple question, sky diagram, moon phase and moon movement trajectory.

Due to its extremely technical complexity and ingenious design, only two of the 180 Patek Philippe master watchmakers can make this model!

And this fascinating masterpiece has only two annual outputs and is only customized by Patek Philippe's top customers.?

The sky map on the back of the table clearly shows the movement of the astral body. The sky map of the northern hemisphere may be selected to rotate counterclockwise. It shows the movement of the astral body and the moon, and the profit and loss of the moon and the moon phases.

The two center pointers display the stellar time on the 24-hour scale. The elliptical line paths can display the range of the night sky visible at a specific location.

The gem glass display plate has 279 gear teeth, which keep running to track the movement of the moon's corners, and display the profit and loss of the moon phase in the small round hole.

The bottom cover is also designed with a 24-hour stellar time display disk and a golden elliptical channel to appreciate the sky range visible at a certain location.?

Patek Philippe watch factory only produces two super complex watches a year, from production in 2001 to discontinued in 2011. So far, there are only 22 yuan in the world! Moreover, it will not be produced again in the future.

It combines Gaozhuo watchmaking technology and innovative appearance design, and is sought after by many collectors and enthusiasts. It set a world auction record for modern watches at the So-Mobile Spring Auction in 2008, with a price of 2 million US dollars!

Such a high price is jaw-dropping, and it deserves the reputation of "the blue-blooded nobleman in the watch".

While introducing, the large screen constantly displays exquisite pictures of this watch from all angles.

At a rough look, this watch seems very simple, with a black crocodile leather strap, a platinum dial, and a thick watch body surrounded by exquisite relief patterns.

It gives people the feeling of "elegance"!

Compared with Charlie De Miller, it is far less "cool" than that brand, but Patek Philippe's style is like this, it is restrained and dignified, and the more you look at it, the more you look at it!

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Ye appreciates Patek Philippe.

The brand Charlie Demiller has only been around for more than 20 years. It is like a nouveau riche, arrogant and domineering, using various precious metals and high-tech to push the price up.

But Patek Philippe is like a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, with a calm and profound background.

Richard Miller is only suitable for playing, while Patek Philippe is more suitable for collecting, so there are many collectors present today, and the target was this Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial watch!

The factory price of this watch is already very expensive. If customized in the mainland, the price is 17.6 million yuan.

Nothing wrong is wrong, it is only 17.6 million!

More importantly, you can’t buy this watch even if you want to, because you can only produce two pieces in a year. It took a total of 11 years to produce it. Last year, in 2011, it was completely discontinued.

A watch collector in Xiangjiang, of course, is also a rich man. He paid for the customization when Patek Philippe first launched this watch in 2001. As a result, he waited for eight years before getting the watch he customized!

At that time, a reporter interviewed him: "Mr. Zhong, I spent 18 million Hong Kong dollars and waited for eight years to get a watch. Do you think it's worth it?"

Mr. Zhong smiled slightly and replied: "The waiting process is indeed very painful, but when I got this watch, I felt that all the efforts were worth it!"

Of course, Wang Ye is not so obsessed with it. For him, watches are just accessories.

No matter how expensive a mechanical watch is, it is not as good as an electronic watch worth dozens of dollars in terms of accuracy!

When a man wears a watch, it is just like a woman wearing jewelry. It is enough for him to like and suit his style.

The competition for this watch is also very fierce. After the price has risen to 3 million US dollars, fewer talents have participated in the competition.

In 2012, the exchange rate of US dollars to RMB was about 6.3.

The 3 million US dollars is already 17 million yuan, which is enough to buy a luxury house in the country.

Although the people who play watches are rich, most people cannot afford to play watches of this level.

Now there are only two people participating in the competition. One is from Baodao and the other from Xiangjiang.

There are still many people in these two places who are rich and leisurely, and there are also many famous collectors.

Liu Yixiong, over 50 years old, is from Xiangjiang, and is the chairman of the board of directors of listed companies. He likes to collect various clocks and watches.

When Patek Philippe launched this 5002 series, he also wanted to book it, but he was slower and the manufacturer no longer accepted the booking.

He and Mr. Zhong, who had been waiting for eight years, are also friends. They often go to each other's house to appreciate this watch. When they learned that this watch would be auctioned at Christie's Spring Auction, they immediately signed up and swear to win it!

"3.2 million!" Liu Yixiong looked at his competitor. The treasure island man was all people playing in the watch circle. He knew him and knew his financial resources.

Therefore, when the price reached 3 million US dollars, Liu Yixiong also used the method of jumping to scream and directly added 200,000 yuan.

First, show your determination to win, and second, give the other party a step.

Sure enough, the treasure island collector frowned and thought for a few seconds, simply put down the bidding sign in his hand and bowed to Liu Yixiong to signal him to give up.

Liu Yixiong also smiled and bowed to the other party to thank him. The enemy withdrew from the competition, and Liu Yixiong felt that he was sure to win.

"The first time 3.2 million yuan, is there any price increase?"

Seeing that no one was competing for the time being, the auctioneer began to remind him.

"3.5 million!" Wang Ye took action.

When Liu Yixiong heard someone shouting a high price of 3.5 million, he was shocked and hurriedly looked over.

Wang Ye nodded to him kindly.

Liu Yixiong began to think nervously that 3.2 million was already the upper limit he expected, but he didn't expect that someone would come to grab it.

What to do? In fact, the price is 3.5 million, and the cost-effectiveness is no longer high. However, Liu Yixiong really likes this watch and does not want to buy it to wait for appreciation.

"3.6 million!" Gripping his teeth, Liu Yixiong shouted out a price again.

He hoped to scare Wang Ye away. Although he spent 400,000 more, it was hard to buy a lot of money. If he could buy it, he would be satisfied.

“4 million.”

To his expectations, Wang Ye did not hesitate at all and directly raised his sign and shouted a sky-high price again!

This is really a sky-high price. A watch sold for US$4 million, which has broken the record of watch auction prices in history!

This is a real silver dollar of 4 million US dollars, 25 million RMB!

I bought a watch. What does this young man do? Is it so easy to make money?

Liu Yixiong has worked hard in the business world for decades, and of course he knows how difficult it is to make money. He looked at the Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial on the auction table with nostalgia.

Although I really want to have it, the price I have to pay is too high and it is no longer worth it.

There is no such thing as if I can't get it. If you want it, you have to pay a heavy price. This kind of trick that harms others and is not good for yourself.

Liu Yixiong calmly put down the bidding sign, bowed to greet Wang Ye, congratulating him on taking the watch.

Those who participate in such auctions are all people with status and status, and there are very few cases of malicious price raising.

At least Wang Ye has never encountered such a situation when he participated in these two auctions.

Everyone has a psychological price in their minds for the auction items they like, that is, a maximum price they bear. Once the auction exceeds this price, they will give up calmly.

There are many good things in this world, and no one thinks that they will get what they like.

Seeing the kindness expressed by Liu Yixiong, Wang Ye also bowed to thank him for giving up and not continuing to raise the price.

Seeing this situation, the auctioneer knew that no one would compete with Wang Ye anymore, and the price was much beyond his expectations, so he simply said.

"First 4 million!"

"4 million second time!"

"The third time of 4 million!"

With a "bang!", the auction hammer fell.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 1, for successfully shooting this Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial watch!"

After spending 4 million US dollars, Wang Ye finally took the watch he liked.

After participating in this "Exquisite Watch" auction, Wang Ye had nothing to attend today's auction.

The other things he wants to buy will be at the auction tomorrow afternoon, and then you can come over.

After the auction ended, Ellie, who followed Wang Ye, went directly to Manager Huang from the VIP reception department and completed the payment procedures. Of course, the things were also installed with Wang Ye's Rolls-Royce.
Chapter completed!
