Chapter 774: Ref.6002 Star-Moon Tourbillon
A few minutes later, Xu Zhiqian also came over.
However, Xu Zhiqian has to arrange work, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with.
Therefore, he had no way to accompany Su Yi and Chen Yu, just chatted a few words, and then went to arrange the auction.
It didn't take long for the auction to officially begin.
The first auction item is a piece of jewelry, with a starting price of up to 1 million, and this is just the first auction item.
For jewelry, Su Yi was not interested in it at all, so he didn't ask for a price.
In the end, this jewelry was auctioned by a woman at a transaction price of 1.65 million, which can be regarded as a high price.
The next auction items are some antiques, and Su Yi is not very interested in antiques, or he has not studied them at all, so he did not bid easily.
Of course, he didn't sit completely still, he didn't dare to do anything, as long as he saw some interesting auction items, he would also follow the bidding, but he would not bid too high.
For these auction items, Su Yi is holding that he can auction them, although it is good, it doesn't matter if he can't auction them.
Therefore, he will not pay a high price, as long as the price is high, he will give up immediately, anyway, he is only a little interested in these auction items, and he does not have to get them, there is no need to spend too much money on them.
However, Chen Yuyou won the auction items, spent nearly three million, and got two auction items.
I don't know how long it took for the auctioneer to announce the next auction item, and Su Yi's interest immediately rose, and it was no longer the dispensable attitude he had before.
"I'm sure everyone will be interested in this auction item. The auctioneer introduced on the stage.
After attracting enough attention, the auctioneer continued: "This lot is Patek Philippe's new generation of watches, the Patek Philippe Ref.6002 Star and Moon Tourbillon. β
Ever since Su Yi received the watch that Ning Yingxue said, he has had a great interest in watches, and he has also thought about collecting some famous watches.
And today is a rare opportunity, he is also here for this auction item, so he will not miss it, he will definitely participate in the bidding, and if he has the opportunity, he will take it down.
In 2013, at the "Precious Craftsmanship Exhibition" held at its Geneva Salon, Patek Philippe officially unveiled the Ref.6002 Meteor Moon Tourbillon, replacing the most complicated Patek Philippe watch of our time, the Ref.5002, which was discontinued. The Ref.6002 is the most complicated watch ever made, arguably the new generation of watchmakers. β
The auctioneer's clever tongue on the stage aroused the interest of many people.
"The Patek Philippe Ref.6002 Meteor and Moon Tourbillon is a unique design in the world, combining 12 complications under a magnificent case: a perpetual calendar, a retrograde calendar, a minute repeater, a tourbillon, sidereal time, a map of the northern hemisphere sky showing the transformation of the sky, moon phases and a lunar track. At the same time, the Tourbillon of the Star and Moon is in keeping with the essence of Patek Philippe's past, with the tourbillon hidden in the watch. Of course, 6002 is not only a collection of powerful technology, but also a perfect embodiment of art and technology, with no suspense on display of handicrafts such as enamel, gold carving, wood chip inlay, etc. β
The auctioneer continues: "The biggest change and innovation of the Ref.6002 Astronomical Tourbillon is its appearance, with its exquisite and luxurious finishes that elevate this Grand Complication to a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The case or dial is flawless. The entire case is hand-carved from a single piece of faux white gold and adorned with a striking arabesque motif, the slightest mistake can ruin the entire case. More than 100 hours of labour were spent on this engraving, and the dial is adorned with a beautiful wreath of cloisonnΓ© enamel and pinland enamel, as well as a wreath decoration. This is not a watch, but a real work of art, and it might be more appropriate to call it a "sculpture", as this small watch shows the skill of the engraver and the enamelman. β
At today's auction, there are quite a few people who came for this watch.
The production of this Patek Philippe Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon is very small, and it is also a peerless boutique in famous watches, with a very high collection value, but such a watch, even if the average person has money, it is impossible to buy, in addition to money, there will be a lot of purchase conditions, which can be said to be unavoidable.
Therefore, the appearance of the Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon at this auction has made many people excited, this is the best opportunity to get this famous watch, if you lose it, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
After Su Yi looked around, he said secretly: "It seems that there are many competitors today. β
That's right, he liked the Ref.6002 Meteoric Moon Tourbillon very much, and he wanted to buy it for a collection, so he was ready to bid.
"What's the matter, are you also interested in this watch?" Chen Yu next to him asked when he saw his somewhat moved expression.
Su Yi nodded and said, "Well, I'm a little interested and want to buy it." β
"The collection value of this Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon is extremely high, as long as the price is not too outrageous, it is also good to buy and collect, and it will appreciate in the future. Chen Yuting supported his idea.
Finally, after displaying and carefully introducing the Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon, the auctioneer said: "This new generation of watch king, the Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon, is now officially afraid, the starting price is 8 million, and each price increase cannot be less than 100,000 yuan." β
8 million, this price can be regarded as sky-high for a watch.
However, the price of 8 million, put on the Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon, is not a sky-high price, everyone thinks it is very reasonable, and they all think that this is just the starting price, and the final transaction price will inevitably be much higher.
Su Yi also thinks so, he thinks that the price of this watch may be more than double the starting price, or even higher.
At the beginning, he was not in a hurry to bid, and if he bid now, it would be meaningless, but it would be possible to stimulate the bid and make the price increase too quickly.
Therefore, Su Yi did not make a bid, but waited and waited for the change, ready to wait until the right time to bid.
"I'm out of 8.5 million. Someone took the lead in holding up a sign to ask for a price.
"I'm out of 8.6 million. β
"9 million. β
"10 million. β
As soon as someone starts bidding, others join in the bidding, and each bid more than the other.
In just a while, the price of the Ref.6002 Star Moon Tourbillon has increased from the starting price of 8 million to the current 10 million, and it has not stopped, and more and more people are participating in the bidding.
It was only at this time that Su Yi knew that he had so many competitors, and there were some people who had the same mind as him, and they had not yet started bidding.
It seems that if he wants to get this watch, it will definitely not be so easy. (To be continued.) )
