"Pink-on-pink" Patek Philippe
On June 9th, this rare Patek Philippe Reference 1518 watch will be for sale at Sotheby’s auction in New York. This “pink-on-pink” Patek watch is one of only 15 made and it features, as its name implies, a case in pink gold with tapered lugs and a large crown as well as pink gold dials. The watch is in exquisite condition and this will be the first time it is up for sale since its original sale in 1947. Because of its extreme rarity and condition, perhaps it comes as no surprise that it comes with a gigantic price tag as this “pink-on-pink” Patek Philippe is estimated to fetch between $2.5 million USD to $4.5 million USD! Well, the aphorism time is money seems as real as it gets when it comes to this special Patek watch..
