Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date GMT-Master with transparent back

Estimated price: 20,000USD^30,000USD
Purchase price: 125,500USD

Certified by The Swiss Official Chronometer Control. Model number: 1675. Made in 1960's. Good appearance and quite rare, automatic winding movement, dual time, central second hand, with calendars, special made transparent back, special 24hour index and hand. With official certificate of The Swiss Official Chronometer Control, a book named "The story of Time", after sales certificate of Rolex as complimentary gifts.

This is not a common GMT, otherwise it is only worth a few dozen thousand Yuan. This GMT is a custom product which Professor Hugh G. Wales of University of South Africa ordered from Rolex on 7th of March, 1962. It is not only custom-made but also with transparent back which is quite rare in the history of Rolex. Of all the Rolex products, apart from two oysters with manual winding movement and transparent back in 1940's, this is the third transparent product recognized by the factory. Maybe at that time, Rolex was not so missish and could accept such special custom-made products. The more precious thing for this GMT is that the letters between the factory at that time and the professor are being kept, telling the cause and effect of this custom-made product, so it is called Rolex with stories. The purchase price also reflects the popularity of this treasure. I think although it is furious, but not enough. If it is on auction again several years later, the price maybe several times higher.

Me parece increíble que alguien pagara 125.000$ por el relojito en cuestión, por mucha historia que tenga detrás, y que todavía diga que en futuras subastas se podría revalorizar "varias veces más"... de verdad hay gente a la que le sobre tanto el dinero?
