This is in a UK jewellers in their pre owned section. They're an authorised Patek dealership so they'll know their stuff.

Can't work out if the price is £6,000 or £60,000 as £6k for what I assume is an automatic nautilus with day date and moon phase seems rediculously cheap, even at 2nd hand.

If it's a very good deal then may be worth a look, guessing may have some background to the Low price though : missing papers, box etc

Do they take phone orders?

[–] vgcamara@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Canal street AD? 🤣🤣🤣

FYI current second hand prices are around $70k (58k GBP)

Without a doubt it’s meant to be £60,000

[–] HugeRub6958@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t think even a second-hand simple date windows would cost 6k, so this complexity is definitely 60k.

[–] Huntolino@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Buy it 🤣🤣🤣

I know in Australia if it's the marked price it's the price they legally have to sell it at... I'd atleast try haha

[–] mkerr85@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah UK has got some laws depending on how it's sold, but if its 'clear and obvious error' like a huge misprice then generally they can stop the sale.

Occasionally get an unsavvy salesperson who might not know, but doubt it for a £56k misprice!

[–] Timmeh189@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Would be worth a try though.

[–] maton12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No they don't. In supermarkets you get the item for free if priced incorrectly.

Nah that’s wrong unfortunately.

UPDATE

So sorry to disappoint but yeah, was a misprice unfortunately!

. I phoned up the jewellers to check it was still there and if so, arrange a viewing. Asked for the info on the one in the window, and the salesman said is a 5726, just been serviced and without missing a beat, said price was £62 000.

Afraid bargain of the century will have to wait, and was missing a 2 not a 0!

That’s 75k in us money 💰

[–] Werewolf_Top@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Depending on local consumer laws..you may be able to fight them to honor that price

[–] LOLZatMyLife@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

be a Karen and force them to honor the price 🤣

[–] fusiongt021@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Haha of course it's missing a 0 😭

[–] Ok_Parsnip7262@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

[–] GiantSequoiaTree@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] oxpoleon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Been there, done that, felt like Danny flipping Ocean for about a month.

[–] EyeDentifeye@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dumb only stays so dumb until the price tag is scanned :(

[–] caandjr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] Hoaxygen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hatton Garden?

[–] snailinground@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn mate I literally buy it from you for €7500 right a head, can travel whereever you want!!

[–] cherryhilljawnz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If who you get it from is reputable then buy it NOW

[–] CSIdude@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That's the down payment.

[–] Niceguysfini1st@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

OP has disappointed us with this tale of disappointment........

[–] Uli811@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In Germany you could have sued him for false advertisement and would have got it for 6k

[–] jfl_cmmnts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Haha I'd be willing to go buy an airline ticket for that one, you'd make tens of thousands on resale, buying for £6K!!

As for the Chanel WHAT was the original buyer thinking, you're supposed to get that one in WHITE.

On the right I thought for a hot moment it might've been a LF but no, just another PP.

Anyway good luck on your watch hunt, OP

[–] RodrigoSanschaise2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I kind of dig the J12.

[–] nikC94@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

offtopic, that gold patek to the right, can someone help me with the reference please. TIA.

[–] JackieE053@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Missing some 0’s

[–] madsratsi@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And then a Chanel watch next to it…

[–] dunneetiger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When has the J12 become this nice?
