WSJ Article on a $312,000 Patek

There was a Wall Street Journal Article on the reason a Patrek watch is selling for $312,000 at an auction. Check it out:

http://blogs.wsj.com/scene/2010/10/1...KEYWORDS=patek

That particular Patek is absulutely gorgeous.

Fun read. I should send this article to alot of people... actually, maybe not.

Would like to own a PP in my lifetime though... probably a 5960P right now.

This has to be my favorite Patek. It looks so simple, yet it's a complication.

Platinum minute repeater--can say that I have never seen anyone with a minute repeater on the wrist! What a watch--what a rarity. I have to say that my favorite watch in my collection is definitely my 5960P. Patek makes such fine timepieces--it is hard to imagine anything better!! Thanks for the post......

cheap. Not expensiv. You can buy Patek or Blancpain, Turbillion by 1.5 Million Dollar. But, must wait more than 1 year to get the watch.

Football Star Beckham have one Franck Mueller, full of Diamonds, I dont wont know, how expensiv.
