Watch Collecting Lifestyle published an article today about this sale. Apparently the Spanish AD can’t be punished. They received the watch before they decided to permanently close or retire. The owners son is the one that sold it. That explains why it was sealed and why they don’t care about repercussions. And really TRF members, if it was your business and the opportunity came up to make a quick $450K tell me you wouldn’t do the same thing.

If the AD is not a going concern then the whole story is self-explanatory. And if I were to make a guess, there seems to be some bad blood between the dealership and Patek prior to this.

Just read the below, seems plausible. I don't agree with it but an easy way to make a lot of money.

Just pure insanity.. but that's what Patek is making the market be.

If you were to make a guess? Based on what would you assume “bad blood”. There’s nothing in that article to suggest anything like bad blood. How about some facts Ichiran. Or even how about some reason for your innuendo that’s based on nothing. Waiting.

It's my guess and I don't feel like sharing.

I am surprised Patek would even send a Green 5711 to an AD that was about to shut down a week or two later.

I don’t know about that but the AD sent a thank you out saying they were retiring and closing that particular shop. IIRC it’s somewhere in Spain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I mean, my AD got one. Just one. And it went to someone who's spent 10x what I have, and who's also almost twice my age (and has been buying Patek from them for 3x my time). I don't blame them at all. |

When they tell you that GMT decides, it usually to get someone off their backs. |

TS has been pretty consistent about this - they distribute watches to AD, AD decides who gets the watch. Unless it’s a very very special rare watch like MR. I think he did mention it in one of the interviews.

How did they find out you sold it? I think it’s different for every individual. Of course if they know you well and you keep all your watches then a one-off sale might be forgiven. But if another guy flips it within 3 months with little history then that’s a different story I supposed.

Additionally, I'm intrigued that people are incensed that someone would spend $490K on a $35K watch while others are aghast that someone would take the risk of selling their allocation simply to profit from it. I wonder how many illegal drug deals net this kind of profit, and they certainly entail greater risk than being scolded by Patek. |

The soon to be an ex-AD's son got a 5711 green while TS said his own son(s) can't get it.

And Antiquorum will never ever get any hot pieces with real names in the papers. They made a big mistake in showing serial no. and owners name.
Would you trust them and give them your personal data to spread around the world?! |

I don't think it was a mistake. Antiquoroum has done previous auctions before and nothing was leaked. I can't helped but feel there is something going on deeper than we know. |
