The Patek Philippe watches are already in the wish-list of many uber-rich. At the Antiquorum’s summer auction held at The New York, a Patek Philippe Ref. 5002, lot 289 (Sky Moon Tourbillon) was sold for a whopping $1,240,400, which set a record price for a wristwatch at auction in the United States. There were 289 highly collectible timepieces up for auction. Other than the Ref. 5002 wrist watch, many other Patek Philippe watches did extremely well, with the lot 277, Ref. 5050 set in pink gold with Roman numerals auctioned for $146,150 and the lot 278, the pink gold Ref. 3970E sold for $123,150. Receiving more honors, the Patek Philippe ’so-called TV watches’ including the yellow gold Ref. 5020, lot 152 and the pink gold, lot 279 were auctioned off for a world record price of $232,400.
