For a great cause.... It would be nice ,for chit chat factor to know what the watches made individually..... My guess is that the Patek came first......:) Mo
That I know. But the rest... Best, Nicolas
The rest,I don t know,but like other events like this,they seem good places to get a good deal.. Mo
like the Patek which raised almost EUR3m. To be honest at this price, I feel it is just a charitable thing... a way to give money and also receive something nice back :) Great result supporting a fantastic cause... disappointed I did not win anything but you can't win them all. Here's the results.... Lot 1 - Backes & Strauss: €55'000 Lot 2 - Bell & Ross: €32'000 Lot 3 - Blancpain: €40'000 Lot 4 - Breguet €120'000 Lot 5 - Chanel: €75'000 Lot 6 - Chopard: €65'000 Lot 7 - Christophe Claret:
we could discuss for hours on results.... some did good,at its best,nothing sensational,but predictable...others ,well,not so good.. Patek universe.....well,still cannot get my head around it,great charitable cause,I don t know...call me skeptical....I repeat,I don t know the dynamics in the Patek world so its just my poor 2 cents... Mo
you could give money and receive something nice back also with other great watches in the catalogue.....lets say that with Patek your donation is...safer. Mo
