Recently, the most expensive Replica Rolex ever sold has made a new record. The preceding record was held by a Rolex instant chronograph which was sold last year. However, a renowned replica watch from vintage Rolex lore has taken the title for a second time, more than doubling the previous record. 
The uncommon and vintage Replica Rolex “Bao Dai” triple-calendar moonphase is craft from yellow gold and has a black dial set with diamonds at the even hour makers. It belonged to Bao Dai initially, the last emperor of Vietnam, and it is the only popular example to be produced with this precise dial.
When visiting Switzerland to be present at the Geneva Convention, Bao Dai went traveling to Chronometrie Philippe Beguin, a Rolex seller to buy a new watch. Discontented with every timepiece which was in stock, an extraordinary request was made for the most unusual and valuable Rolex Replica ever produced, and this is the very watch that Rolex sourced for him.
Subsequent Bao Dai’s death in 1997, his specially exceptional and amazing watch was raised for auction by his existing relatives, and in 2002, it sold for a record-breaking with a higher selling price. This year at the Phillips Geneva Watch Auction, the “Bao Dai” surfaced again, labeled as lot 93, and canceled its title as the most expensive Rolex that has ever sold. While the final bid was in, the famous “Bao Dai” had an ending sale price of over twenty-one times what it formerly had been sold for at auction just fifteen years prior.
Many conjectured that the “Bao Dai” had the possible to make a new world record for the fake watch which sold out with the highest price. Beyond its uncontaminated shortage, the “Bao Dai” is in extraordinary situation and comes with a totally astonishing and well-documented origin.
Another exciting bit of information about the “Bao Dai” is that in the watch’s entire history, the latest buyer is only this watch’s third owner, which crosses more than six decades. From the time when it preceding sale in 2002, in the world, the “Bao Dai” has been a part of one of the optimum personal collections, and before that it graced the wrist of the last emperor of Vietnam.
In conclusion, the retail prices for brand new Rolex replica watches keep rising and record-breaking sale of the “Bao Dai” verifies that the vintage market is still where the astronomic evaluations exist in. It is the second time that this exacting watch has owned the headline of the watch which sold out with the highest price, which only adds to its unusual history as well as origin. This fake watch has resolutely declared itself within the small, best circle of the most collectible watches ever manufactured with its new auction price.

The Replica cool A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon
Have you heard of the “salmon” replica watch? Today I’d like to introduce this latest edition of the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, which has a pink gold dial and it completely MELTS. This new limited edition pairs a white gold case with a warm pink dial which has been defined as “salmon” by many person. Ichthyological assertions aside (look it up), any new Datograph is deserving of a few photos, as well as the unbelievably complex and lastingly handsome Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.
Lange says this new Dato has a solid pink gold dial, so in this case, I’ll leave the salmon for beholder to appreciate. The dimensions and tech specs are the same as the original from 2016, with this white gold example measuring 41.5mm across and 14.6mm thick. When you get a closer look at the incredible L952.2 hand wound movement tucked under that pinkish dial, there’s a marvelous feat. 
For those of you who might not remember this specific version of the Datograph, I suggest you to check out Arthur’s hands-on with the original model. As a quick refresher, that pretty dial offers plenty of information, including time, a perpetual calendar, a flyback chronograph, grand date, power reserve, and moon phase. Also you see a tourbillon only from the back. There aren’t that many ways left to flex on a tourbillon but making it only visible through a display case back is absolutely a drip most German, which is already one of the most excellent movement designs in modern watchmaking, this tourbillon looks cute and the stealth design not only protects the dial design but also Lange’s typically stoic approach to outright ornamentation.
I had the chance to borrow a Datograph Perpetual while covering the amazing Concorso d’Eleganza car show in Italy (of which replica A. Lange & Söhne is a sponsor) last summer. While interviewing Lange’s CEO Wilhelm Schmid, he explained to me that the dial will always be legible and the movement will always be perfectly finished even on a very complex model from Lange.
With functionality in harmony with more luxurious or romantic aspects of the model’s construction and finishing, both aspects satisfy the owner very well. Although the addition of a tourbillon, the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon is no more difficult to read or wear than any other Datograph, or any replica watches of comparable size in fact.
With just 100 limited pieces and priced highly at $287,800, this instantly collectible Datograph significantly offers a thoroughly different feel from the original model. It’s no doubt it’s an example of the most excellent watchmaking worldwide, you can call the dial color whatever you want if you can own one fantastic timepiece on wrist. Sounds cool!
