Chopard L.U.C.Engine One Tourbillon watch, like a bottoming shirt in a see-through outfit. You thought it was also boldly exposed, but you still ca n’t see the secret inside the movement
The new L.U.C.Engine One tourbillon watch launched by Chopard this year is also a bit interesting, like wearing a base shirt in see-through clothes. It is not shy to show the tourbillon Chopard, just like wearing a miniskirt must show a thigh. But it would be another thing to show it everywhere else. Chopard chose a clever way to let the movement first wear a base shirt, but the skin texture was drawn on the base shirt. You thought it was also exposed, but the inside of the movement You still can’t see the secret. The black Arabic moments are engraved on the watch mirror, which further deepens the effect that the movement seems to be exposed.

On May 12, 2019, Antigulen held an important modern and antique timepiece auction in Geneva. At auction No. 726, a unique Patek Philippe watch, the Aquanaut Ref.5060 prototype watch, was sold at an eight-fold valuation and sold for 2.72 million yuan.

   The watch’s dial and movement are decorated with the words ‘PROTOTYPE’ and ‘LABO’, respectively, and have the ‘comet’ power reserve indicator function (a signature feature of Nautilus Ref. 3710 / 1A). This watch, circa 1996, has a 36 mm stainless steel case, a 330/196 self-winding movement, and a rubber strap with a double folding clasp.

   The prototype of the Patek Philippe Ref.5060 was estimated to cost 50,000 to 80,000 Swiss francs before the auction. On the day of the auction, this watch caused fierce competition. After the bid exceeded 100,000 Swiss francs, the bidding was mainly between two bidders. It took 15 minutes and the watch was sold for 330,000 Swiss francs. The total cost is 401,000 Swiss francs, equivalent to approximately RMB 2.72 million, which is eight times the lowest estimate before the auction. (Photo / text watch home Xu Chaoyang)
