Phillip's Hong Kong Auction Results: Serious BARGAINS!

Lot 8049 - This Breguet ref 3700 World time with date, in yellow gold, was estimated at $5,100-$10,300 and sold for a bargain $9,800 with premium. Current market prices are $13,000, and this watch represents great value, especially for collectors seeking a larger size gold dress watch. At 38 mm, in solid gold, with world time function - and the fabled Breguet brand - it checks off all the boxes.

Lot 8008 - This Patek Philippe 5711 Nautilus circa 2018/full set sold for $114,000 with premium, indication collectors are still enthralled by the hype models.

Lot 8015 - This Lange & Sohne Ref. 101.031 from 2002, in pink gold with black dial, was estimated at a low-ball $7,700-$15,500 and sold for $21,200 with premium. A good buy, and well below $28,000 secondary market prices.

Lot 8114 - This Patek Philippe ref 3848 Ellipse would have been considered a “dog” 6 months ago. Today it’s prices ar soaring. This 1989 example, has everything WRONG: The dial is gold instead of the classic blue sunburst, it comes on the basic buckle, instead of the Ellipse version, and the 80’s lizard strap instead of crocodile. YET - it sold for $13,000 well above the $5,100-$10,300 estimate. You can find similar examples for about $9,500 - with a proper Ellipse buckle.
