To all you people out there those are thinking of buying one of these watches a word of warning.  They are just so damned good you will be back for more!  I had my Rolex for a few weeks, but then saw a Cartier; the price is so good I just had to have it.  Now I have my eye on an Omega, well how often can you by this quality so cheap.  You guys deserve a medal!

While much has been made of the global economic turmoil and its effects upon the habits of luxury buyers, the results of Sotheby's December 2008 auction indicate that there is plenty of enthusiasm remaining for exceptional watches. Indeed, the December 18th sale set the second highest result ever attained in a Patek Philippe brand watches auction at Sotheby's London.

As expected, timepieces from Patek Philippe world watches were a major player in the final results. A Patek Philippe replica watch (Ref.5102G"Celestial" watch) realized a sales price of ￡103,250, a result that exceeded the low estimate by ￡20,000. A reference 3448 perpetual calendar from the celebrated Geneva manufacture sold for ￡64,850, while a rare "Senza Luna" variant of the same model reached ￡61,250.

Another lot which soared to nearly the highest point of its pre-sale estimate was the remarkable white Patek Philippe gold watches from George Daniels. It achieved a sales price of ￡79,250.

After the sale, Alex Barter, Director and Deputy Worldwide Head of Sotheby's Patek Philippe designer watches Department said, "We are thrilled with the results of today's auction, which achieved a total well in excess of its pre-sale low estimate of ￡1.1 million and represents the second highest total achieved for a Watches Sale ever at Sotheby's London."

For the 2008 year, Sotheby's watch sales achieved a worldwide total of $52.9 million, including Patek Philippe fashion watches. A series of Sotheby's auctions late in the year contributed strongly to the impressive final result. Among these were October auctions in Hong Kong and New York that brought in $6.1 million, and $4.1 million, and a Geneva sale in November that concluded with a result of $5.8 million.

There are a lot of advantages of purchasing good quality replica watches instead of spending a round sum for an original timepiece. First of all, this way you will keep yourself from the disappointment of acquiring an extremely expensive timepiece that will eventually turn out to be not exactly the one you have been dreaming of. It is quite complicated to make the right choice and many people who do not know much about watches may be even confused when they face the abundance of timepieces featuring different brand-names, functions, designs and complications. Replica watches will give you the chance to experiment while trying to discover the right timepiece. If you buy a watch and soon realize it is not really suitable for you, the price of the watch is quite affordable to buy another one.
