SALMANPK's post shines a spotlight on the ultra-rare 1973 Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R Kenmeri KPGC110, a car often dubbed the 'Phantom GT-R.' This deep dive into its limited production and historical context offers a valuable perspective on why this particular model remains a highly coveted piece of automotive history. The discussion further enriches the understanding of its significance and the broader Skyline legacy.
The Patek Philippe World Time reference 2523, launched in 1953, is distinguished by its innovative two-crown system. One crown serves for winding the watch, while the second, positioned at 9 o’clock, controls the city disc. This design marked a significant development in the functionality and user experience of world time complications for the brand.
The reference 2523 was offered in two primary versions. The initial ref. 2523 featured larger lugs that extended above the bezel, with a case diameter of 35.5 mm. A subsequent variant, ref. 2523/1, presented a slightly larger diameter of 36 mm and thinner lugs that were integrated without extending above the bezel. Both versions were powered by the caliber 12-400 HU, which incorporated the world time module developed by Louis Cottier.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in Patek Philippe's historical advancements in complicated watchmaking, particularly the evolution of its World Time series. The distinct design differences between the 2523 and 2523/1, especially regarding lug integration and case dimensions, provide specific points of interest for enthusiasts tracking the model's development and variations.
I'm guessing it never hit the US.
I truly loved my 370…what a car…did everything well with a skid pad of .98… I really do miss it.

Although I would not have anything against its predecessor either 😁 Thanks for these amazing shots 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Many died unfortunately also, safety wasn't up to today's standards. The Hakosuka GT-R (1969–1972) is the first-generation Nissan Skyline GT-R, legendary for its 49 consecutive racing wins and iconic boxy styling. Combining "hako" (box) and "suka" (Skyline), this JDM classic utilized a 2.0L S20 inline-six engine and was produced in 4-door (PGC10) and 2-door (KPGC10) variants.
