Timekeeping and perpetual calendar, Patek Philippe can always write articles on complex watches. Ref 5004P has always been a watch that I believe has great investment potential, for a simple reason: it is ‘cheap’! No kidding, saying it’s cheap compared to other complicated Patek Philippe. You know, adding any function to the perpetual calendar can be regarded as very complicated, or more complicated than the complicated one-it feels like a password twist, but it is the case.

    If you compare the prices of other complicated superimposed models of Patek Philippe, the valuation limit of this Ref 5004P is 2 million Hong Kong dollars. I believe that as long as it is stored for several years, there must be a lot of room for it.
[Overall description] Platinum, perpetual calendar, double tracking needle, moon phase, leap year, manufactured in 2003.
[Estimated price] 1500000-2000000 HKD
[Including commission price] 20.06 million HKD

Just like day and night, the watch industry is more of a normal watch, but there are also several watches that challenge the devil every year. Their complexity is no less than that of a palace watch, and The difference between sitting in a serious position is that they are more interesting, more poetic, and have multiple thoughts on the philosophy of time.
Mysterious Dark Lord Athens Watch ‘Fantasy Freak’ Tourbillon
This model is named after the devil-like appearance and power reserve: bright red embellishment between rough black and mysterious dark gray, red tentacles and black cloak-like backgrounds create a realistic image of the devil, and the simple lines are perfect in design An interpretation of the metallic beauty of the 18K white gold case, combined with luxurious crocodile leather belts, presents an indomitable beauty.
‘Fantasy Freak’ is first and foremost a watch with no hour and minute hands, no dial and crown! In the reverse innovation of knowledge, Athens put the movement on a rotating base, and showed the time through the movement of the movement (the time scale is located on the barrel, and the light escapement bridge serves as the minute indicator). An attractive design feature is that the central axis of the movement runs directly from the surface crystal glass, so that the watch can be wound by rotating the case back clockwise, and each revolution is equal to 12 hours of winding.
Seven Stars Arch Moon MB & F MOONMACHINE
The idea of ​​MB & F, an independent watchmaking laboratory, is always shocking and impressive. Following the previous models of HM3, HM3 Frog, and HM4, together with Finnish independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva, based on HM3 Frog, launched a MOONMACHINE watch with a unique seven-star arch moon and moon phase indication.
According to the ‘Giant Impact’ 4.5 billion years ago, a celestial body about the size of Mars, named ‘Theia’, was attracted by the newly formed earth’s gravity, colliding with the earth, and impacting the force. Throw a part of the ground letter and the ‘Ziaia’ fragments into space, but the gravity of the earth pulled these fragments and let them move along a fixed orbit. After some time, these fragments formed the brightest that people look up to today. Celestial Moon. Stepan was inspired by this beautiful collision after the disaster.
This uniquely shaped watch dial is similar to the HM3 Frog, exposing a wide range of movements on the side to provide watchmakers with a high degree of playability. Its prominent two aluminum hemisphere indicator areas are more reminiscent of Habitat buildings on the moon in science fiction for a long time. In the moon phase display, not only is the MB & F automatic disk’s signature tomahawk-shaped between the two moon phases, but the laser cutting is also decorated with stars. The positions of these stars are not randomly arranged. Seven stars, and the brightest seven stars in Ursa; among them naturally includes the brightest Polaris in Ursa. The face decoration of the moon phase also highlights personal characteristics.

The dial background of the embossed Paris nails is subtly divided by the arc, highlighting the time display. Design that emphasizes layering and builds 3D stereoscopic visual effects.
The Ocean SportTM chronograph limited edition, in addition to showing typical sportsmanship and carefully constructed architectural design, also creates rare elegance through color gradation: the color changes from deep to light, from coal gray to light gray, and decorated Embellished with striking blue.

A few years ago, I was curious about the Daytona after setting diamonds. I was also impressed by the personalized look of Rolex. However, as time goes by, I gradually find that …-Mr. Ye, I have made it clear in the article ‘Color Dust | Watches Knowing These Points May Allow Your Watch to Add Value’ Replacement discs face damage to the value of antique Rolex. But in the modern Rolex world, the impact of the modification is relatively more complicated … There is a root in the official Rolex conversion table, which is the official disk change. Using my own example of labor, out of my love of French culture, I changed the weekday of the 69 Ruby Rolex Weekly Log Series DD from English to French. Because it is sent to Shanghai labor service for disk change service, it is officially recognized. This also means that this operation will not affect the used price of the watch. Note: The weekly indication of the weekly log series is available in 26 languages, including Chinese. The advantage of the unofficial disk change ‘Genzhen Miaohong’ is that it is officially recognized, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, the visual effect of the modification is satisfactory. In contrast, third-party modification agencies are better at imagination. Whether it’s Artisans de Genève’s Daytona Hollow Edition (116508), Daytona Tribute 6240 Edition (116520), or the Blaken Pink Piglet Page (114060) which once burst the WeChat circle of friends, all have striking visual effects Has attracted countless attention. Daytona Hollow Edition (left) and Daytona Salute 6240 (right, official price 31260 Euros) Of course, these limited-edition modified models are much more expensive than the original. Take the hottest pink piglet Pecs as an example. The original priceless original Nigger 114060 as the base is officially quoted at 58200 yuan. The actual second-hand full set is about 56,000 yuan, but the price was instantly turned by the hands of Blaken. It was almost 3 times, about 160,000 yuan. You can think that the premium part is paying for the idea, but please don’t forget that this idea is not officially recognized and protected, so whether it is used in the future, it will be inaccurate or it will be repaired after four or five years. , Can not be carried out in labor, because the other party will ask you to restore the watch first. At this time, the only feasible thing is to entrust a folk master or find the official maintenance of a third-party modification agency. This is slightly troublesome, watch fans should pay attention to it. Blaken Pink Piggy Page (left) and original black nigger 114060 (right) Bsepoke Watch (full custom Rolex) leader in third-party modification industry Blaken, there are private customization services available. In other words, consumers can choose any color combination of the exterior parts of the new Rolex according to their own preferences. Need to pay, in addition to the huge cost of capital, there is also the depreciation of the corresponding watch in the second-hand value. After all, unless there is a blessing from the celebrity effect, otherwise such a watch with a very personal aesthetic, if sold in the secondary market, will most likely end bleakly. Blaken’s personal customization service allows consumers to customize the secondary market of their own original Rolex watches. It is undeniable that there are very few third-party modified watches that have occasionally highlighted the secondary market in recent years. But overall, it is still relatively sluggish. Real people in the secondary market, but also belong to the original Rolex. Look at the Green Water Ghost. When it was bought in 2017, it was almost 52,000 yuan, but now the starting price of this watch is nearly 95,000 yuan, which has almost doubled. The price chart of green water ghosts is even more important. Any original watch that is scarce and of good quality will have a great chance of achieving impressive results in the auction market. For example, the antique Scarlet Sea Angel 1680 won 45,000 Swiss francs and about 300,000 RMB at the 2018 Rich Arts Geneva auction (the newly reprinted Scarlet Sea Angel 126600 is priced at 88500 yuan). This result is unmatched by any third-party modified watch. It is very interesting that when I saw the auction results of 1680, I groaned, ‘If I changed the 1680 plate at that time, it might be worth 30,000.’ The Rolex Scarlet Sea Envoy has won 45,000 Swiss francs (approximately 300,000 RMB) at the 2018 Rich Artists Geneva auction. The above data tells us that if you want to maintain or even increase the value of your watch, it is best to stick to the original! Accompanying Mr. Ye reminded me that I had mentioned more than once, ‘The quotation in the secondary market is a reflection of the true value of the watch.’ Therefore, even if a third-party modified Rolex (changing the disk, changing needles, adding diamonds, etc.) has its unique design, it is still not recommended for watch fans to buy from the perspective of investment or value preservation (my Daytona, who only added the later diamond, waited for me to replace it, but it didn’t rise, but the original diamond has already risen a lot !!!). The reason is very simple. The original Rolex has a limited depreciation margin, and some models may even surpass it in the future. To some extent, it can be said to be a financial product. As for the third-party modified watch, although there are occasional bright spots in the secondary market, poor liquidity is its biggest problem. The reason is very simple, the brand is not recognized, the general public is afraid to take over, and it takes a lot of time to carefully inquire about the watch. The final price is not surprising … Therefore, in my opinion, the third-party modified watch is not Can’t buy it, but it is definitely not suitable for ordinary watch fans. The potential customers of this type of watch should be the kind of fiery players who like unique personality and are not ready to sell after buying. Of course, waywardness (Pig Piggy) can. After all, uniqueness requires financial support. 2Corinthians 8: 9 | You know the grace of our Lord Jesus: He was rich, but he became poor for you, that you may become rich because of his poverty. Car vous connaissez la grace de notre Seigneur Jesus-Christ, qui pour vous s’est fait pauvre, de riche qu’il etait, afin que par sa pauvrete vous fussiez enrichis .

The master of enamel craftsmanship draws inspiration from the process of metal beads. The principle of the metal bead process is to make tiny gold beads and decorate them on the chassis. The enamel craftsman uses the same procedure. First, the enamel is cut into small pieces or ground into powder, then stretched into filaments, and then cut into small pieces. After being heated by the welding torch, the filament segments will melt into pellets.

   The bead size depends on the diameter of the enamel filaments. The master craftsman then placed the enamel beads into the chassis according to the color and shape of the artwork. The difficulty of this process is that different colors of enamel have different melting temperatures. It takes more than thirty firings to achieve the ideal effect of firm beads and exquisite enamel.

   It takes almost a month to complete the work. The final work is breathtaking, the overall shape is meticulous and subtle, faithfully presenting the elegant style of cheetahs with deep eyes, light beards and soft fur.

   This brand new work brings out the outstanding creativity of the Master Craftsmanship workshop. Carving, polishing, enamel, jewellery, gem setting, and watchmaking are combined into one unique work.

The 2018 Pingchang Winter Olympic Games is in full swing. The athletes are competing fiercely in 102 events to win medals representing honor. As the official timing of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, OMEGA, a well-known Swiss watchmaking brand, provides accurate timing for Olympic events with excellent and innovative technology. In the speed skating event of this Winter Olympics, Omega’s professional timing equipment can accurately measure the minute gap between the champion and runner-up in 1/1000 second.

Omega Electronic Starter Gun

   In the speed skating competition, the starter triggers the electronic starting gun to signal the start of the competition. Different from the traditional starting gun, the Omega electronic starting gun is composed of a flash gun and a sound generating box, so that each player can receive the starting signal at the same time and accurately, eliminating possible unfair factors in the game.

Omega Olympic Finish Clock

   When athletes compete fiercely on the track, the omega lap counter at the end of the track will display the number of laps remaining for the athletes who reached that line. When the athlete slides to the last lap, the last lap reminder bell will sound. Omega is equipped with motion sensors for each contestant. The sensor can capture the player’s in-game information in real time, such as the player’s taxi speed and comparison with other players’ entry data. This not only provides data for athletes to analyze their performance after the game, but also allows the audience to have a deeper understanding of the game.

Omega Vision Camera (Scan‘O’Vision MYRIA)

   The optoelectronic eye equipment at the finish line has witnessed Omega’s 86 years of expertise and rich experience in sports timing. The red optoelectronic eye device is placed at the track finish line and emits a high-response beam at the athlete’s ankle height. The moment the winner crossed the finish line, the timing stopped immediately. The device can accurately record the moment of victory, and transmit the information to the scoreboard of the stadium in real time, and broadcast it on the TV screen at the same time.

An omega optoelectronic eye placed at the finish line of a speed skating event

   Omega has also placed a light-sensitive end-point camera (Scan‘O’Vision MYRIA) on the ice rink. The camera is capable of capturing 10,000 digital images per second. The real-time image of the line-up moment will serve as the official basis for the referee to determine the final result in each match.
   The 2018 Pingchang Winter Olympics speed skating event will start on February 10 and will end on February 24. In the competition, the competitors’ taxi speed is very fast, and the time gap is very small. At present, there are new Olympic records. It is Omega’s excellent timing technology and innovative technology that enable every moment of the game to be accurately recorded.

Rolex presents the new Oyster Perpetual Milgauss watch, showing unique and symbolic aesthetic features. The Milgauss, launched in 2007, is equipped with the first crystal crystal surface in the watchmaking industry. Now it combines electro-optical blue surface, reminiscent of the classic lightning-shaped second hand and the paramagnetic technical characteristics of the watch. Designed for engineers and scientists of the time. Looking through the green crystal mirror, you can see the electro-optical blue surface with attractive colors.

Advanced watches for engineers and technicians

   Since its launch, Milgauss has maintained its position as an advanced watch. Introduced in 1956, Milgauss is designed for engineers and technicians working in magnetic fields. Magnetic force can interfere with the normal operation of mechanical watches, but this watch can withstand a magnetic strength of up to 1,000 gauss, allowing it to maintain the performance and accuracy of official timepieces. ‘Mille’ in French For a thousand, so the watch also got its name. This innovative anti-magnetic watch is not only famous for being worn by scientists at the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN) in Geneva, but also known as a masterpiece of technological progress. Such a powerful magnetic force relies on a number of innovative technologies. The first layer of protection is the antimagnetic case that Rolex applied for in 1954 and was installed in an oyster case. This anti-magnetic case is made of ferromagnetic alloy, which wraps the movement and provides efficient protection. The second layer of protection is the balance swing assembly and the escapement. These two main movement components are made of innovative paramagnetic materials and have been developed by Rolex since the 2000s.

Oyster case waterproof and strong symbol

   Milgauss’ 40mm Oyster case is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet) and is a solid example of reliability. The distinctive middle case is made of solid block 904L steel with extremely strong corrosion resistance. The triangular bottom case is screwed by Rolex watchmaker with a brand-specific special tool to completely seal the case. The winding crown uses Rolex’s patented double-lock double waterproof system, which is firmly screwed to the case. In addition, the mirror is made of scratch-resistant green crystal. Milgauss’ waterproof oyster case provides the best protection for a highly accurate movement.

Movement 3131: top paramagnetic precision timepiece

   Milgauss uses a 3131 automatic mechanical movement developed entirely by Rolex. Like all Rolex movements, the Calibre 3131 has also been certified by the Official Swiss Accredited Timepiece. This certification is specifically awarded to precision watches that have been tested by the Swiss Precision Timepiece Testing Centre (COSC). This watch also uses Rolex patented components to ensure that the antimagnetic level of the watch matches the name of the watch. The escapement assembly of Milgauss is equipped with a paramagnetic escapement wheel made of nickel-phosphorus alloy. This device is made by UV-LiGA, a micro-parts production technology developed by Rolex. The balance swing component is the heart of the watch. It is equipped with Rolex’s patented blue Parachrom hairspring made of a unique niobium-zirconium alloy. It is not affected by magnetic fields and is extremely stable even in the face of temperature changes. 10 times higher.

Comfortable and safe oyster strap

   Oyster Perpetual Milgauss is equipped with a comfortable and safe oyster strap, and a folding oyster buckle designed by Rolex. The strap is also equipped with a cleverly designed Rolex patented easy-to-adjust chain link system, which allows the strap to easily extend about 5 mm, making it comfortable to wear in all situations.
