PHILLIPS has been a winner in the auction for watches over the past few years, but Sotheby's has come up with a lot of new movements since this time, and this time, we will hold an exclusive auction with "only one JPS to sell". It has been held.

ROLEX 6264 YG 18K PN “JPS” 320,000-650,000 GBP

This JPS is a solid black New Year Paul NewmanJohnPlayerSpecialIt is called “JPS” because it resembles the coloring of a cigarette package that is famous overseas. In general, the correct answer is that JPS is included in the 6239/41 case, and there were some points of view that even among experts had a consensus on whether or not it exists in 6264. In this case, the minute hand, chronograph hand, and small hand can be seen as diversions of the Predaytona needle, and the bezel has been replaced. However, the 6264 JPS, if it existed as the original, is very rare. It was such an individual.

In addition, Sotheby's dared to attach this JPS to the arm of an axonia who holds a hammer at the main art sale just before that in order to appeal to more customers. This also seems to have received a lot of attention.

 

Sure, PHILLIPS was the champion in the recent watch auctions, but the main bidder was the dealer, so their eyes are very severe. In other words, when bidding, I always think about the price of EXIT, so if I drop it higher than this, it will be difficult to sell, so there were many successful bids on the last line. So it seems that Sotheby's strategically planned such a big game as an auction for only sale in order to appeal to a wider range of people, such as art collectors who have never been interested in watches.

And the result was a record result of 1215,000 GBP (= Japanese Yen 166.7 million yen). Until now, it was said that 6264 Lemon was the most expensive of all pure gold Newman, but now JPS is at the top.

This time, Sotheby's has recorded quite a few interesting high-priced bids other than this one, which seems to be a proof that the new strategy of the watch department is functioning as intended. I think it was an auction season where PHILIPS and Sotheby`s auction houses are expected to lead the world of watches.
