Of course, just because Wang Ye doesn't like it doesn't mean that others don't like it either.

There are still a lot of people bidding for this Richard Miller RM 52-01, and they are basically young people bidding.

"Classic tonneau shape, the bezel and caseback are made of nano-TZP ceramic, and the bezel and caseback are microblasted and handcrafted.

The most distinctive skull in the centre of the dial is made of 18-carat rose gold, whose metallic properties and skull symbolism evoke immortality and evoke the ultimate question of life and death. ”

Seeing that the auction is coming to an end, the auctioneer hurries to make another round of introductions, hoping to push the price up a little more.

Don't say it, there are really people who eat this set, and there are two more people who ask for the price.

In the end, it was successfully sold for $720,000!

Wang Ye did not participate in the bidding for the next few other watches, and waited until his favorite Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial watch before he came to his senses.

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

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

"Hailed by collectors as the finest living creation, the Patek Philippe 5002 collection is the most complex watch in Patek Philippe's history.

The movement has 686 components that make up the 12 most important watch complications: tourbillon, perpetual calendar, monthly calendar, leap year cycle, day, month, date, flyback, minute repeater, firmament, moon phases and lunar tracks.

Due to its technical complexity and ingenious design, only two of the 180 Patek Philippe master watchmakers were able to create this model!

This mesmerizing masterpiece is produced in just two pieces a year and is only available to Patek Philippe's most elite customers.

The sky map on the case back clearly shows the activity of the stars, and the sky map of the northern hemisphere or optionally the southern hemisphere rotates in a counterclockwise direction. Displays the movement of the stars and the Moon, the Moon and its phases.

The two central hands show the sidereal time on a 24-hour scale. Oval-shaped lines can be used to show the extent of the night sky visible at a specific location.

The jeweled glass disc has 279 teeth that keep track of the moon's angular movements, and the phases of the moon are displayed in small holes.

The case back is also designed with a 24-hour sidereal time display disk and a golden elliptical line track, so that you can enjoy the visible sky range from a certain location.

The Patek Philippe Manufacture produces only two watches a year, from 2001 to 2011, and there are only 22 of them in the world!

Combining exceptional watchmaking craftsmanship with innovative styling, it is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. In 2008, he set a world auction record for a modern watch at the spring auction in Hong Kong and Jiangsu, with a price of 2 million US dollars!

Such a high price is jaw-dropping, and it deserves the reputation of "the blue-blooded aristocrat of watches". ”

While introducing, the big screen keeps showing beautiful pictures of this watch from all angles.

At first glance, this watch seems to be very simple, with a black alligator leather strap, a white-gold dial, and a thick case body surrounded by delicate embossed patterns.

It feels like "elegant"!

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

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

The brand Charlie Miller has only been around for more than 20 years, and it is like an upstart, arrogant and domineering, using various precious metals and high technology to push up the price.

But Patek Philippe is like a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, quietly, but with an unusually deep heritage.

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

The factory price of this watch is already very expensive, and if it is ordered in the mainland, the price is 17.6 million yuan.

That's 17.6 million!

What's more, you can't buy this watch even if you want to, because it takes 11 years to produce two pieces a year, and it was completely discontinued last year, in 2011.

Heung Kong is a collector of watches and, of course, a wealthy man. From 2001, when Patek Philippe first launched this model, I paid for it and waited eight years to get my own custom-made watch!

At that time, a reporter interviewed him: "May I ask Mr. Zhong, after spending 18 million Hong Kong dollars and waiting for eight years to get a watch, do you think it is worth it?"

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

Of course, Wang Ye is not so obsessed, the watch is just an accessory for him.

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

Men wear watches, just like women wear jewelry, it is enough to like them and suit their own style.

The competition for this watch is also very fierce. After the price climbed all the way to $3 million, there were fewer people competing.

In 2012, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the renminbi was about 6.3.

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

Although the people who play watches are rich, the vast majority of people can't afford to play watches of this level.

Now there are only two people participating in the competition, listening to the accent, one is from Baodao and the other is from Xiangjiang.

In these two places, there are still more rich and idle people, and there are more famous collectors.

Liu Yixiong, in his fifties, is a native of Hong Kong, the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, and loves to collect all kinds of clocks and watches.

When Patek Philippe launched the 5002 series, he also wanted to make a reservation, but it was a step too slow to start, and the manufacturer no longer accepted the reservation.

He and Mr. Zhong, who had been waiting for eight years, were also friends, and often went to each other's homes to admire the watch, and when he learned that this watch would be auctioned at Christie's Spring Auction, he immediately signed up for it and vowed to win it!

"3.2 million!" Liu Yixiong glanced at the competitor, the treasure island man, they were all people in the watch circle, he knew and knew the other party's financial resources.

Therefore, when the price was shouted to 3 million US dollars, Liu Yixiong also adopted the technique of jumping and shouting, and directly added 200,000 yuan.

One is to show his determination to win, and the other is to give the other party a step.

Sure enough, after frowning and thinking for a few seconds, the treasure island collector simply put down the bidding card in his hand and signaled to Liu Yixiong that he had given up.

Liu Yixiong also smiled and thanked the other party, this big enemy withdrew from the competition, and Liu Yixiong felt that he was nine out of ten.

"3.2 million for the first time, is there any price increase?"

The auctioneer saw that there was no competition for the time being, and began to remind.

"3.5 million!" Wang Ye made a move.

When Liu Yixiong heard someone shouting out the 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, 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 has reached 3.5 million, and the cost performance is not high, but Liu Yixiong really likes this watch, and he doesn't want to buy it and wait for appreciation.

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

He hopes to scare Wang Ye away, although he spent an extra 400,000 yuan, but it is difficult to buy a good heart, and if he can buy it, he is satisfied.

"4 million. ”

To his surprise, Wang Ye did not hesitate, and directly raised his card and shouted a sky-high price again!

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

This is 4 million US dollars, 25 million yuan!

Just 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, so he looked nostalgically at the Patek Philippe 5002P platinum double-sided dial watch on the auction table.

Although I would love to have it, the price to pay is so great that it is no longer worth it.

I didn't play the kind of trick that I can't get, and you have to pay a terrible price if you want to get it, which hurts others and is not beneficial to yourself.

Liu Yixiong calmly put down the bidding card and greeted Wang Ye with his hand, congratulating him on winning the watch.

Participating in this kind of auction are all people with status and status, and it is very rare for malicious price increases to occur.

At least Wang Ye participated in these two auctions and has not encountered that kind of situation.

For the auction items that they fancy, everyone has a psychological price in their hearts, that is, a ceiling price to bear. Once the bid exceeds this price, it will be calmly abandoned.

In this world, there are many good things, and no one thinks that they will be able to get what they like.

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

Seeing this situation, the auctioneer knew that there would be no one to compete with Wang Ye anymore, and this price greatly exceeded his expectations, so he said simply.

"4 million for the first time!"

"4 million for the second time!"

"4 million for the third time!"

"Smack!" and the auction hammer fell.

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

After spending $4 million, Wang Ye finally got his favorite watch.

After participating in this "exquisite watch" auction, Wang Ye has nothing to participate in today's auction.

He has something else to buy, and he can come back at the auction tomorrow afternoon.

After the auction ended, Ai Li, who came with Wang Ye, went directly to Manager Huang of the VIP reception department to go through the payment procedures, and of course the things were also loaded with Wang Ye's Rolls-Royce.

Women are terrible to "shop", and men are not inferior to shopping, in one afternoon, two auctions, Wang Ye threw 5.5 million US dollars!
