There are about 8 lots featuring Rolex Presidents in foreign languages (which you know we love), and about 5 or 6 lots that are chronograph triple dates in foreign languages (like this Jean-Claude Killey).Another highlight is a 1958 GMT Master with a replica Patek Philippe watch Bakelite bezel, a first edition no doubt.This is expected to sell for about 30,000 euros.There are some early Rolex chronographs of course, including this knockout anti-magnetic from the 1940s and this Red Daytona (which is probably the coolest looking Daytona we've ever seen).What is being hailed as the pinnacle of the event is something else.
It is a Rolex Chronograph but its different than most you'll see.It is a pink gold Super-Oyster from 1951 with a Stelline dial, one of 50 in the world.Its estimate is 150,000-200,000 euros.These are the watches that we think are pretty cool, but we'd like to hear what Longines replica watches you're into.Click here to see the entire auction lot and please let us know if you think we missed something amazing.Hodinkee in Auctions, Davide Blei Rolex Collection, Rolex, Vintage Thursday, March 19, 2009 at 2:22PM
It is not often that we get to write about an entire collection of rare vintage watches beingDavide Blei, Collector of Rare Movado replica watches sold at once, but today happens to be one of those rare occasions.A man you have probably never heard of, an Italian man by the name of Davide Blei, is selling off his entire collection through the newly formed Patrizzi Auction house.So what is the big deal? There are thousands of collectors out there and many of them sell their entire inventory at once, and yet you don't hear about them on Hodinkee.Well, the reason we're covering Blei's collection is that it purely Rolex, and purely the best.
