      Not to worry. After the 2008 melt down the art and antiques market collapsed. Unless it's a signed museum piece like the card table, it's just old brown wood furniture that no one wants. Fine art is recovering, Chinese for the moment still sells because the Chinese want their stuff back, but furniture is just sitting in warehouses waiting for the market to recover.

    The patek pocket watch is one of the most incredible feats of human engineering. It’s an enormously high quality and complicated piece and I laughed when I saw the appraisal originally and he said $250,000. I knew that petek Philippe had been buying up rare vintage pieces for their personal collection and that the watch would easily be worth a million dollars. No surprise it fetched for more. Keep in mind Paul Newman’s Daytona sold last year for 15,000,000 and it’s only a simple chronograph in steel.
