Hold the Phone-Patek Phillipe Chameleon Watches

[dinomom]

Just got my magazine today and guess what Patek has created for this year! There is a veiled and a panther, they are done in 14K gold and hand-enameled. Look at the spines on that veiled! I think they are making 6 of each-have not seen the price yet but it will be in the tens of thousands unfortunately.

So we can all look at them and lust after them.

I hope at least that whoever gets them eventually is at least a cham fan and not just someone with way too much $.

Play the lottery people. Sweet looking watches looks like Neptune.

Holy moly that’s like two worlds coming together
Unfortunately, it will be cheaper to fill my house up with parsons, then get hands on one of these.
Maybe for @Mendez a good first watch

Wow! Gorgeous watches!!

 

[MissSkittles]

Ok, so how many of us who don’t even wear watches want these?

For $500 I’ll personally customize for you a vintage Casio calculator watch, from my local goodwill, with a chameleon painting. If my kids still has gold tempura paint left over, I’ll use that for the spines, at no cost to you. Free shipping in the continental USA, with tracking and insurance up to $50. With my drawing skills I guarantee there will be no two alike. Bitcoin only.

Sun(burst)dials are the most beautiful dials!

Lol notice those are replicas. Just found out average cost for their enamels is about $100K

Yea even the replicas are a little out my range for a impulse buy

For thing a saw was 265k and thought that was the price. Later I realized they were reps. 100k would be a realistic price for them…..

Yep I saw one of their artisans bending the gold to make the moats for the pigments and mixing pigments in a demo. It takes them a full year to make one

 

[Lindasjackson]

I can’t see spending that much for a watch ever! I don’t care who made it or how much gold is in it! Sorry!

Completely understand you on this, however this is also a hobby / passion and for some people buying this watch, is a the same for you buying a Swatch (feeling wise). It´s unbelievable how rich some are and how many money they spend on watches and other things. i.e. Jacky Chan is also a watch aficionado and he´s passionate with one brand only called Richard Mille, starting price from 100k till 2.500k, he owns I believe 4 or 6 of them. Still it´s also an investment, it´s the same as with art. It keeps it value and it even if you´re lucky it will increase its value.

The craftsmanship on something like that must be incredible, especially with the hand-enameling. I’m new to the forum, but I've always been fascinated by watches like the Patek Philippe Chameleon—so much artistry goes into them! I totally agree with you, though. Hopefully, the lucky few who snag one of those six pieces are true fans and not just splashing cash. That said, for those of us who might not have tens of thousands to drop, I’ve been looking into Calatrava Replica Watches recently. It’s obviously not the same, but there’s something about having even a good replica that feels nice on the wrist.
