The Grand Hotel Kempinski Hotel in Geneva, at 7 pm on April 18, the special watch auction held in Nago began on time.

As the head of the Nagao watch department, Leonard gave a brief speech. A gray-haired auctioneer came on stage, and a man in uniform pushed a cart up, and the first lot was on the cart. At the same time, the large screen next to it began to play images of the lot. The telephone commissioner on one side and the computer commissioner on the other side also began to prepare.

Nagao was indeed well prepared this time. In order to fire this shot, the first watch of the opening game was Patek Philippe.

Patek Philippe is a famous Swiss watch brand that started in 1839, the first of the world's top ten famous watches. It is one of the only real independent watchmakers in Switzerland. It produces itself from beginning to end, and it takes 10 years to train a PATEKPHILIPPE watchmaker. The aristocratic sign of watch lovers is that they own a Patek Philippe watch. The noble artistic realm and expensive production materials have shaped Patek Philippe's enduring brand effect. In the auction market, Patek Philippe is the absolute number one brand, and the transaction price is superior to other brands.

Although the preview had been held and the auction catalog was distributed in advance, the auctioneer still waited for a while. He used this time to scan the venue. Then he used English to conduct the auction.

"Miss, our first item is Patek Philippe, Champagne-colored dial... The base price is 70,000 Swiss francs, with an additional price of 500 Swiss francs each time. The auction begins now."

Many hands were raised below, and he immediately pointed to the fastest gentleman who raised his hand and said, "This gentleman bid 70,000."

Then many hands were raised, and he pointed to another place and said, "This gentleman offered 75,000 yuan."

The computer entrusted a lady over there to raise her hand: "The customer bids 100,000."

All the filming players who participated in the scene made a noise.

The minimum valuation of this watch is 85,000 yuan, and the maximum valuation is 125,000 yuan. Now the customer directly raises it to 100,000 yuan, and the commission is more than 120,000 yuan.

"Now, bid for 100,000 Swiss francs. Does anyone have any bid?"

Everyone at the scene hesitated, and they were frightened by the writing of the client who commissioned the transaction.

At this time, the auctioneer's skills were revealed. He said: "Compared with rose gold styles, the gold version of 3971 is relatively common. However, the materials used in this watch are not insufficient. Its dial was customized by the customer at the Patek Philippe Service Center in Milan, Italy. The color of the champagne is the effect of the gold material being matte and polished, and the time mark is also made of gold."

At this time, the phone trading side thought the young man raised his hand and said, "The customer bid 110,000."

The noise at the scene became even louder, and people looked at the computer and commissioned the lady, hoping to see if there would be a fight. Unfortunately, the customer did not respond in the end.

After the auctioneer asked three times, he rang the auction hammer. The first piece of Patek Philippe was auctioned for 110,000 yuan, which gave a good start to the auction. Xiao Yifei had long known the estimated price of his three-piece watch. Seeing the final price of this Patek Philippe, he decided in his heart.

The second part is the platinum case of the Wanguo 770 Super Complex Series, with a limited quantity of 50 pieces, and was manufactured in 1994. The customer entrusted by the computer used 150,000 Swiss francs and took it down.

After two, no one on the scene took a photo, which made the atmosphere in the hall a little complicated.

Next, we started to auction some watches with less value, but the value is relatively low. The actual transaction price is still around 50,000 Swiss francs.

Soon, the first item that failed to be sold appeared on the scene. It was Patek Philippe.

"This Patek Philippe was made in 1998 and is limited to 20 pieces. It has a platinum case, number xxxxx, movement number xxxxxx, case number xxxxxxx, model 5049P. It is sold on July 3, 1999. It has a platinum Patek Philippe buckle. Its functions include perpetual calendar, moon phase, 24-hour indication and leap year indication. The starting price is 50,000 Swiss francs, and the price is 500 per time."

No one bids below,

The auctioneer continued to inspire: "The words "Incelebration of 200 years Boodle & Dunthorne-1798-1998-17/20" engraved on the watch back give the following information: This is a style commissioned by the jewelry brand Boodle & Dunthorne to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its establishment. It is limited to 20 pieces, and the limited number of this piece is 17."

There are many special or commemorative models that Patek Philippe is invited to produce, but not all styles are equally popular.

Obviously, the owner of the watch has high expectations for this watch, and obviously people are not very interested in this jewelry brand that needs to be known to Baidu. No matter how the auctioneer promotes it, no one bids, and the watch will eventually fail to be sold.

Seeing the appearance of the failed sale, Xiao Yifei became nervous. He was worried that his belongings would also fail to sell them, and the funds needed for the field would not be solved. Could it be that he was really forcing him to take advantage of gold?

The next auction continues, and occasionally there will be no sales. The most funny one will appear, and it is still Patek Philippe.

Both watches are Patek Philippe 5040. Patek Philippe has launched the 5040, a barrel-shaped case since 1992. Although its production period is 16 years (1992-2008), the total output is not large, so there are not many opportunities to see on the market. Although the three-dimensional gold Breguet character still uses a 240 round core, the distribution outline of the disc hour marker is arranged according to the shape of the case, which looks simple and elegant. This only adds a circular track scale to the disc.

The two 5040 movements are both 240Q, and the case is also 18K white gold Patek Philippe hidden case. They are both made in 2006. They even have the same functions and the estimation is the same, both of which are 350,000 to 45,000 Swiss francs.

It was just that one of the cases was 5040G, one was 5040R, one was 18K white gold case, and the other was 18K rose gold case. As a result, one of the first pieces was successfully sold, while the other pieces failed to sell.

Xiao Yifei heard the person next to him muttering and finally knew the reason. Obviously, this is not just a matter of the case material, but the one that failed to sell is of a slightly worse quality. It seems that in the buyer's opinion, in the current market environment, there are more items to choose from, so he naturally has to be more picky.

After passing a few more watches, the auction entered the middle of the way, and the price of the lot increased to 100,000 Swiss francs again. Soon it was Xiao Yifei's turn to have the Rolex watch.

Xiao Yifei was nervous once, his hands were sweating constantly. He was very worried that the auctioneer would fail, so he couldn't hear the auctioneer's introduction clearly. He only knew that after the auctioneer said, someone raised his hand below to signal. Xiao Yifei relaxed and as long as the auctioneer did not fail, he would be satisfied.

Soon, this Rolex was sold at a price of 200,000 Swiss francs. Xiao Yifei used a calculator to calculate it. As expected, the price was within the valuation range of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the valuation of the

Subsequently, Xiao Yifei's Patek Philippe 15.18 perpetual calendar chronograph was successfully sold for 480,000 Swiss francs, which is much higher than the overvalued 300,000 euros of Na's. The main reason is that Xiao Yifei also knows that today's lots fall into the hands of computers and telephone commissions, which probably caused dissatisfaction among the bidders on the spot. Under the careful teasing of the auctioneer, they are now competitive. In addition, the quality of this watch is really great, which also gives the bidders on the spot a certain degree of confidence.

Xiao Yifei went to the bathroom to relax and returned to the auction site. Soon the auction came to an end.

"The following Vacheron Constantin pocket watch was born in 1895. The movement number is xxxxxx, the case number is xxxxxxx, and the 18K rose gold case. The cover is made of gold, platinum and diamond. The back of the engraved watch is covered with translucent enamel, the flower pattern is painted miniature enamel, and the 20K dial is decorated with Arabic numerals. Functions: 24-hour question, engraving question, 5-minute question, perpetual calendar, timing, moon phase, and month age. The base price is 1.5 million Swiss francs, an additional price of 50,000 yuan each time."

When the auctioneer was introducing, Xiao Yifei felt that his heartbeat had slowed down. He looked at the auctioneer nervously, not daring to observe the expressions of the bidder below.

Fortunately, as soon as the auctioneer announced the start, someone raised his hand immediately below, and there were people raising their hands to indicate that the computer and telephone commissions were entrustment. The price quickly rose to 2 million Swiss francs.

Xiao Yifei was very convinced that 2 million Swiss francs had exceeded 1.6 million euros, which was almost enough for him to farm. So he watched everyone perform quietly.

Perhaps the auctioneer saw the price growth slowed down and he began to fan the wind.

"This pocket watch combines hourly questions, quiz and 5-minute questions and combines it with a 24-hour display system. A series of configurations such as perpetual calendar and timing can only be regarded as a foil. The concept of 24-hour three-question means that its hourly strike can reach up to 24 times."

The fan effect is indeed good. The price increase below quickly reached 2.3 million Swiss francs. The price is approaching 2 million euros, which also means that you are qualified to reach top 15.

But the auctioneer felt it was not enough, so he continued to light the fire:

"This pocket watch is the first time that it has entered people's vision. Before that, it was like a "patriarch" who lived in seclusion for 114 years. Although it has been nearly 120 years, its appearance is as new as it has no trace of use or improper preservation. It is still accurate in its time, just like he has just completed the adjustment and walked out of the factory."

Well, I have to say that this auctioneer is really good at it, and he rekinds his enthusiasm in just a few words.

“2.5 million.”

“2.55 million.”

“2.6 million.”

In the end, the watch was sold for 2.8 million Swiss francs, or more than 2.3 million euros.

Xiao Yifei was extremely excited. This price not only allowed him to complete farming smoothly, but also gave him a lot of extra funds for his own control. The living standard he would travel to the next level.

William was also very excited. Although it was not his money, he was still happy for Xiao Yifei to arrive.
Chapter completed!
