I wonder if it will get much more than that if auctioned in the future, given older Pateks are the record holders of auctions
Who cares? :-)
But I feel there is much more in it.
Imagine the wide-open doors by the Patek CEO for those "important" (LOL) clientele...Those that support the company market..
All in all, the buyer feels/knows that on avg, it will be within market prices given the fact that he will get "rare" watches at MSRP.
Goes to charity, so it's whatever amount someone wants to write-off.
We also need to remember that the headlines are worth million$, so am sure PP bids high.
