During the ongoing auction season, we have already seen several amazing, unique watches emerging the auction block. Some of them was sold even more than the six-figure price point. Sotheby’s New York will host their Important Watches auction today. As usual, a number of extraordinary fake watches are being presented for sale to the highest bidder.
The fake watch 8171, affectionately named the “Padellone” (means large frying pan in Italian), is regarded one of the most desirable vintage cheap watches available at the moment. The replica rolex watch was produced for only three year, limited amount was made, and it is one of only two inexpensive Rolex watches that feature a moonphase function.
The specific 8171 is in greatly reserved. The dial is not restored and almost flawless, the case is pretty new and in unpolished status, and the markings on its snap-on case back still remain new and legible. Sotheby’s has estimated the price at 100,000-200,000 USD; nevertheless the unique model with crystal dial exceeded the million-dollar mark at Christie’s New York back in 2013, so this is absolutely a great potential fake watch. 
According to Sotheby’s, there only remain 4 Patek Philippe fake watches with 8-day movements. There are two other instances of vintage Patek Philippe replica watches with 8-day movements available on the market; but both previous models had had their cases repaired. This specific watch, which can be traced back to 1931, is the only known model remains in its original case, and comes with it a movement of number of 198450.
A markings on the back of the fake watch from 1934 notates the location of Beverly Hills, California – an fascinating detail, the other two vintage 8-day Patek Philippe cheap watches were assumed to be originally retailed by Brocks & Company in Los Angeles. Sotheby’s has estimated the exceedingly rare watch to be sold at price 150,000-250,000 USD. What comes with the watch is an official Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, which corroborate the original selling date was June 21, 1932. Even though the watch is not supposed to break records, this watch will still receive a fairly high bid.
