Patek Philippe Watch Sells for $31 Million in Record Auction
 

Want to have a good time, you need a good watch. :D

Yeah, I saw that on Hodinkee.

This beats Paul Newman's Rolex "Paul Newman", which, IIRC, sold for ~$17 million.

seeing that it was a 'charity sale' does that skew the selling price ?

Probably, it certainly did for Paul Newman's "Paul Newman".

Sure, it then becomes a tax write off.

Holy Smokes! That's a lot of coin.

You could have a very nice exotic sports car for that kind of money

Plural :D

Or you could buy 5345 entry level high end systems, or a 103 decent one or two bedroom appt's or indeed vast houses all over the globe. Better make that 80 with the service charges etc.
