Al Capones Patek Philippe Pocket Watch will go to the auction

With its famous luxurious taste, it only makes sense that Al Capone has a wasteful watch that fits his equally flying lifestyle. An example of the preference of the infamous Mobster for the finer things in life can now be yours.

Patek Philippe Pocket Watch from Capones Platin and Diamond Set will be auctioned at Sotheby's next month. And the watch is in Fantastic Company: the important auction of guards on June 10 offers a treasure with ultra -like trophy spateks.

The keyless wind clock dates from 1919. According to the Capone family, it is not known where he bought the clock, but it has exchanged his original case for a tailor -made platinum case, says Sotheby's. The dial, which is significantly aged, has Breguet digits and a common “long signature”. The tiny hand has disappeared.

But that could be made up for by the case. There, Capone decided to add the Signature Bling to the clock and divide its initials with 90 diamonds with a carriage. The pocket clock is expected to bring in from 80,000 to 160,000 US dollars on the block.

Other pateks in Sotheby's important watch auction have now added a much higher estimate. A ref. 2499 perpetual calendar chronograph will be won at the event. Only nine of the coveted references were carried out annually during his 35-year production run. However, this iteration is a unique creation in pink gold with a dial stamped by Italian jeweler Gobbi-Milano. It is expected to collect 3 to 5 million US dollars. Another coveted watch for Grabs is a referee. 2524, of which fewer than 50 examples were made. This iteration is also delivered in pink gold, only one of two acquaintances that are written off from USD 1.25 million to US Dollar.

Admission to this duo is an referee. 5531r World Time 'Rare Hand Crafts', which contains a picture of the Genfsees on the dial (estimate of 550,000 US dollars), a ref. 3448 perpetual calendar 'Beyer', twice from retailers Beyer (500,000 to 1,000,000 US dollars) and a ref. 5711p 'Sapphire' with a Lünette Mit-Sie assumed that 32 sapphires with baguette-cut sapphires and 12 sapphire baguette-hour markings on his black dial ($ 300,000 to $ 600,000).
