Elton has said goodbye to his yellow gold leopard print perfect replica Rolex Daytona after it sold for $176,400 at an auction in New York last night, smashing its presale estimate of $40,000 to $60,000 and setting a new world auction record for the model.
The Christie’s event is the biggest celebrity auction since Freddy Mercury’s treasures were sold in London last year, with The Collection of Sir Elton John: Goodbye Peachtree Road series of sales expected to bring in well over $20 million.
Thirteen Cartier replica watches online uk, including the jungle-themed leopard print Rolex Daytona and a luxury fake Cartier Crash, were sold as Sir Elton auctions the contents of his home in Atlanta at a series of sales at Christie’s New York.
A total of eight auctions kicked off yesterday (February 21) in New York and online with the big super clone watch lots appearing at the opening night sale.
Elton John’s watch collection
The headline act was a gold Swiss movement replica Rolex Daytona with a leopard print dial and strap with a case in diamonds and orange sapphires.
Swiss movement fake Rolex UK was produced in 2001 and has an estimate of $40,000-60,000 but sold for $176,000, a world record for the reference.
Appealing to a more mainstream collector’s taste was a high quality replica Cartier Crash in 18ct gold with a silvered dial
It has an estimate of $70,000 to $100,000, considerably lower than an equivalent top quality fake Cartier Crash, without a celebrity connection, which sold at Sotheby’s in London for $191,000 in September last year.
Christie’s will be delighted that the Elton factor drove bidding up to $277,200, almost four times its low estimate.
A cheap fake Cartier Tank Normale in 18ct white gold has a bezel set with 20 baguette diamonds and a dial made up of 16 blue baguette sapphires sold for $176,400, almost nine times the low estimate of $20,000.
Away from super clone watches for sale, the highest prices paid during the opening night was for Banksy’s Flower Thrower Triptych, which sold for $1,925,500.
The singer’s 1990 Bentley Continental achieved $441,000.
The Christie’s auctions continue with another 30 Elton John copy watches online uk crossing the block over the coming days.
