Last Chinese Emperor's Watch Sells for $6.2 Million

 

An auction house in Hong Kong sold several items on Tuesday that belonged to Aisin-Giyoro Puyi, the last emperor of China, who was dethroned in 1912. The items included a Swiss-made luxury watch, which went for $6.2 million.

The watch was a Patek Philippe Reference 96 Quantieme Lune, one of just eight known to exist. The unknown collector who purchased it did so at nearly twice the price it was expected to net, setting a record for the make of watch and for timepieces previously owned by emperors.

The ultra-rare timepiece was made in Geneva in 1937 and has a Bauhaus-inspired platinum case that houses a silvered dial, with a rose-gold chapter ring and enamel hour markers. It also has an indicator for phases of the moon and a triple-date calendar - features just as rare in 1930s watches as the watch itself.

#phillips selling last emperor Puyiโ€™s Patek Philippe May 23 in Hong Kong. One of only 8 made, and 3 known to still exist. Estimate: $3 million. Appeals to watch nerds and history buffs. Puyiโ€™s gifted it to Russian interpreter in 1950 after 5 years internment in Siberia. #watches

Congressional Republicans claim their debt limit hostage-taking is motivated by concerns about fiscal responsibility.

 

But new CBO estimates show their plan to extend the Trump tax cuts without paying for them would add $3.5 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years.

 

Oops!
