Patek Philippe 2499 perpetual calendar chronograph in rose gold (US$2,724,421). An extremely rare and highly important yellow gold perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatch with moon phases and applied Arabic numerals.
“This is the equivalent of a Ferrari 250 SWB in the collectors’ world,” Boutros said of this watch. It’s in fantastic shape for something made in 1956, and it’s the first time this one is appearing at an auction. “You have here one of the most desirable watches of all time.”
Rolex vintage watch made only two references that included a moon-phase complication, and this is one of them. What sets this one apart is its black dial and the hand-applied gold-star indices. That’s where it gets its name, Stelline. (This is the other watch Boutros told us he’d bid on.)
In the watch world, you win a lot of points for something unique. This is the only known Patek Philippe that has a Calatrava cross symbol installed at the dial’s 12 o’clock position. It was also the most complicated watch in existence (check out that leap-year indicator at 3 o’clock) when it was first produced in 1990.
The star of the show, however, was Omega‘s Prototype Tourbillon from 1947. The super-rare steel cased complication sold for US$1,434,642 after a 20-minute bidding frenzy, making it the most expensive Omegawatch ever to be sold at an auction.
