New arrival Gold QP

25654BA Just arrived today, I picked it up from the Christie’s auction, NO I had no idea John Mayer was gonna drop it on his new video lol I am not nut hugging him or buying the hype train

I Picked it up at the Christie’s auction and the funny thing was I had the Lot before it a 5402 yellow gold as my top pick and that’s the one I wanted but was on the phone dealing with the typical fire of the day when the lot hit and totally missed it. I was HOT AND LIKE UGHHHH. When this lot popped up I went over my price range out of frustration lol and yes I love the watch as I’m trying to add more gold pieces to my collection.

On a good note She’s in good shape never polished which is a huge plus. And had a nice warm gold color, so if i do send it off to AP for a service and a cleaning they can bring her back to the bright gold she once was. (I need to think about this)

The funny thing was that the day before it arrived John Mayer dropped a new video promoting his new AP Collab and his new purchase the same exact watch lol what are the Odds hopefully like everything he touches pumps the price of the piece. Fingers crossed
