limited to 300 pce

It never sold well and it is rare - you can't find it on eBay or grey dealers. I would not be surprised if one day it is very valuable, maybe even more so than the Nautilus 3712.

Well...My friend just got one in a second-hand watch shop at USD11K.  Tried it a couple of times but felt like a Citizen more than a PP.  Regardless of its "potential", I am not a fan of it and won't spend a penny on it.  This message has been edited by adriantsang on 2008-08-23 18:31:09

I've seen them sitting in my local dealers case several times, and he has one of the black dialed ones right now....
They seem to sit for a long time

Thanks Eric and everybody for the info.

Didn't know the watch was limited to 300 pcs only

No wonder someone tried so hard to get me  sell it.

 

To your surprise, this 5091/1A is my first PP back in 2000 to celebrate our 15th anniversary. There are different opinions about this watch, more tend to be negative. Anyway, it has a special value to me and I will pass it to my children.
From my collected information from various sources, the sculpture series has SS in white or black dial(5091/1A) and yellow gold(5590J). The lady's model is 5090J which is quartz and it has different versions including one with diamond bezel. It was said that there were a total of 2700 produced with 300 in each version. I am not sure these informations are correct or not.

 

Yes, this reference has quite a variety in different models. Mine is a yellow gold with leather strap.  It has a special blue enamel crown resembling the Russian roof top. The dial is black with the Russian "brick wall" pattern. As said, many people don't like this watch (perhaps because they don't have the chance to see the real thing), but I like it a lot.  Look at the polish of the case ....   

You lucky chap, I could only get hold of the steel version.

Your watch is really great looking.

Nice of you to show it to us.

Thanks.

from time to time in auctions and 2nd hand stores. And their prices are reasonable, to say the least, as like many of the buddies in this forum think, they won't spend much on such models (partly because they don't easily get much information about the watch, and they don't have any market price reference). However, we can ask ourselves, with the same price, what current Patek can we buy? 

Thanks for your compliments and it's nice to know there are other people who appreciate the Sculpture. Wear it in the best of health and good luck hunting!
