This will put Miamiclay's adjacent post, on the reported Strong DD values, to the test I guess.
The few auctions I've attended/followed in the EU this summer, have neither been well attended or eliciting strong prices tbh.

Perezcope has to say something about the top lots. It will be interesting to see if these watches sell, especially the DD:
https://perezcope.com/2024/10/16/shi...-fake-tiffany/ It's a minefield and unfortunately there is little (to none) information available from the manufacturer. As a bonus there is quite a lot of inconsistency in time periods for the use of dials, lume, fonts... This forum provides some crucial information thanks to great contributors but the absolute truth is sometimes hard to find.

Beyond Jose’s meticulous scrutiny, even dilettantes like me can sometimes be left wondering … wtaf? (I’m reminded of how women describe dating in Alaska - “The odds are good, but the goods are odd.”)
E.g., lot #284 is a Day-Date 18079 described as “Extremely rare … White Gold, Bark Finish Engraving and Sky-Blue Stella Dial” (estimated at $38-76K) All of that may be true, … as far as it goes. However, it’s pretty clear that this yellow gold handset and yellow gold furnished dial never belonged in this white gold Day-Date. (The dial’s coronet and printed text are both yellow gold.) https://www.monacolegendauctions.com...ces-35/lot-284 . |

Nothing goes unseen with Clay! You are spot on as always. Well, dilettantes are others definitely.
The results of the first auction day imply hammer prices in the lower range generally. I'll give a breakdown as soon as the first day finishes.

This one, lot 17, hammered today at the 30K low estimate.
I dont recall seeing a grossular / rubellite dial with these 8+2 diamond markers in a 18238. Usually these have either pinballs or all 10 identical markers - Im not at all certain, but I wonder if this dial may have been originally in a later 118238. . |

Auction results: Monaco Legend October 1st day
The first day is over. And yes, the hammer prices are on the lower end generally. The contested lots performed not as bad as expected but imho this is due to the Parmigiani marketing and the fact that Monaco is a tax heaven and populated by moneybags.

Some big prices still being paid out it would seem. Although the range on the estimates is pretty big

Nevertheless the hammered price around U$33k seems to be rather soft.

Italian watch dealers are notorious for making very clever fakes and franken watches.

Auction results: Monaco Legend October 2024 (completed)
The lower estimate reigns at Monaco's October auction. With a few exceptions. Previously contested lots performed not as bad as expected but imho this is due to the Parmigiani marketing and the fact that Monaco is a tax heaven and populated by moneybags.
A few takeaways: Wood dials didn't fetch premiums, a new (2020) DD40 sells under 30k, a Stella dial only went for 22k, stone dial DDs didn't get beyond 35k - and oh well, the YG Tiffany dial in a WG bark DD went for 70k despite its wrongness. In other words: A (neo-)vintage DD >30-40k must definitely be something special... Here are the selected results: Estimates in correspond to US$ with factor 1,1 (+10%) Please note: Final price is hammer price plus VAT/sales tax/import duties depending on destination.
