fake franck muller beats Patek Philippe 36 to 33! It is not the result of a handball match: it is “just a settling of scores” between Geneva Watchmaking Manufacturers: Aeternitas Mega 4 has become the most complicated watch in the world for three lengths on Patek Philippe’s Caliber 89.
In the exclusive setting of the salon Empire in the Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, on Saturday 7 November the watchmaker Franck Muller delivered to its owner Mr. Michael J. Gould, the Aeternitas Mega 4 model capable of showing 36 complications, of which 25 visible in the rear quadrant. 1483 individual pieces were needed to obtain such a mechanism replica watches.
Gould flew to Munich in his private jet along with family and friends from Colorado. Franck Muller and his partner Vartan Sirmakes partner of Watchvalley – name of the Muller corporation – in front of an audience of 400 guests gave him his new toy, which has also become with its 2.7 million dollars, the watch most expensive ever sold out of an auction.
Honor to the winners, but also to the losers! Competition always raises the level of the game … However, for the record, two considerations must also be made:
The first is that the Aeternitas Mega 4 is also by far the most complicated wristwatch in the world; in fact, he also beat the Vacheron Constantin Tour de l’Ile by 36 to 16 (complications)!
The second, however, is that it took twenty years to reach this record: despite the fact that Haute Horlogerie is always linked by statute to some rules of the past, the technology and know-how of how to interpret them has grown a lot in these last years. To conclude, I would like to remind you that Patek Philippe’s Caliber 89 is also made up of 1728 pieces. Who knows if the arrival of the Aeternitas Mega 4 will reduce the value of “the king” who ultimately had to descend from his throne?
When is a third wheeler who will come to about fifty complications? Just wait patiently …
