The Only Watch announced wished prices for unique timepieces that will be auctioned on the charity event, in Monaco, on September 22. According to some prices, it seams that the watchmaking industry has successfully emerged from recession, so we should expect that this forth Only Watch auction reaches the record amount. All proceeds will be donated to Association against Muscular Dystrophies (AMM), in order to support the battle against the most common fatal genetic disease of children.
As we expected, the top seller will probably be the Patek Philippe Ref. 3939A Minute Repeater Tourbillon, with the estimated price from 450,000 to 650,000 euros. Patek Philippe’s watch (ref. 5160) also brought the top bid at the third Only Watch auction, two years ago. It was sold for the amazing sum of €535,000!
However, the fact that Rafael Nadal donated his personal Richard Mile RM 027 Tourbilon for Only Watch 2011 could make some changes on the top bid. The estimated price for this watch goes from 400,000 to 600,000 euros.
Other high rated timepieces are the DeWitt X-Watch (EUR 350,000 – 500,000), the Bernhard Lederer Gagarin Platinum Tourbillon (EUR 200,000 – 300,000), the Harry Winston’s Midnight GMT Tourbillon (EUR 200,000 – 250,000), Bovet Fleurier 7-Day Tourbillon Reversed Dragon & Phoenix (EUR 180,000 – 220,000)…

Though it may seem as if it is way to much to pay for a watch, these sort of products are unique and can be considered as a good investment to buy one (providing the value increases over time of course). It is similar like investing in art.
I love the Gagarin. Bovet’s watch is also wonderful, as well as Harry Winston’s Tourbillon and Breguet.
