Chapter 340: Poor Cars, Rich Watches
In just two minutes, Chu Tian stood in a beautifully decorated small secret room, unable to contain his smile. Although the room was not spacious, the decoration was exquisite. A compact massage bed and a big bathtub were carefully placed beside each other. In addition, there was a cabinet on the wall, which contained a line of disposable towels.
“Sister.” Chu Tian smiled, “You installed a bathroom for me.”
Li Sisi giggled and said, “Well, why not. It’s great that I can take a bath and lie down to rest.”
“That’s good.” Chu Tian smiled, “But isn’t this intention too obvious?”
“You still care about this?” Li Sisi smiled and said, “There is such a small secret room in the office, and even a fool knows what this place is used for. Do you think that if you don’t pretend like this, the intention will not be obvious?”
Chu Tian chuckled and said, “Oh, that bastard Liu Youde insisted on making such a design to ruin my image as a gentleman.”
Liu Youde was the former owner of this office building, and Chu Tian bought it from him.
“You have the nerve to talk about others.” Li Sisi kicked Chu Tian with a smile and said, “You didn’t decide to buy it after you saw the design?”
Chu Tian chuckled and said, “Sister, tell me, do I want to experience this massage table now?”
“Tsk, don’t make trouble.” Li Sisi ran out of the secret room with a smile and said, “I have something to talk to you about.”
“What’s the matter?”
Chu Tian came out of the secret room and then closed the secret room door smoothly.
“Today, you go to the magic capital with me.” Li Sisi said.
“Go to the Demon’s City?” Chu Tian frowned slightly and said, “Sister, why are you going to the Demon’s City?”
Li Sisi smiled, put the bag on the desk, then took out her mobile phone and said, “You don’t know. Tomorrow is your sister Xia’s birthday.”
Umm? Tomorrow was Xia Mo’s birthday.
When he heard Li Sisi say that, Chu Tian was stunned. He quickly patted his forehead and said, “Damn it, it’s sister Xia’s birthday tomorrow? I forgot. Why didn’t Sister Xia say anything?”
“How do you say that?” Li Sisi said, “Isn’t it the same as asking for a gift?”
“Actually, big baby and Niannian already knew about it. They’ve been secretly preparing gifts. I knew that you wouldn’t remember such things. So, I’ll remember it for you. Here, look…”
While speaking, Li Sisi handed the phone to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took a look at it. It was a watch with a gold case and perpetual calendar, month, and timing functions.
Compared with today’s multi-functional, multi-regional timekeeping watches, it was not simple.
Li Sisi said: “Your sister Xia wears a watch. Do you know that?”
“Oh, I know about that,” Chu Tian said. “The watch sister Xia is wearing now was left by her mother. It’s not a good brand. It’s only about 2,000 dollars, but it’s very memorable to her.”
“This is the gift I picked for Xia Mo.” Li Sisi said with a smile, “The watch Xia Mo is wearing now is of great commemorative significance to her, so I plan to let her replace it with this one.
Chu Tian nodded, looked at the watch on the phone, and said, “Send me a watch? But sister, this watch looks a bit substandard.”
“It’s not up to par yet.” Li Sisi stated, “This is the Patek Philippe ref. 1527 perpetual calendar rose gold watch.”
“This watch was made in 1943. During World War II, it had an 18-carat gold case and a 23-stone bezel. It is the earliest Patek Philippe & Co. calendar, chronograph, and lunar phase. It is the only watch in the world. It has been a collector’s item since its debut and only appears at auction.”
“Its last auction was ten years ago, at Christie’s auction in 2010. The transaction price at that time was 5.63 million dollars, equivalent to 40 million in our country’s currency.”
“This watch is almost as good as my Rapha 20.”
“I’ll go!” Chu Tian couldn’t help being a little surprised and said, “It was auctioned ten years ago, and it was only 40 million?”
“Yeah.” Li Sisi said, “Why don’t you say that the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and the poor play with computers at home? Think about it. Just wear a Rapha 20 in your hand. What is the concept?”
“This watch is the second most expensive since the auction, and the number one is a super complicated pocket watch called Henry Graves Jr. It was auctioned at Sotheby’s auction house in 2014. It is equivalent to 150 million in our country’s currency. It’s also Patek Philippe.”
“However, this is a pocket watch, and I don’t know who owns it. However, this Patek Philippe ref. 1527 perpetual calendar chronograph watch was auctioned today at Christie’s auction house in Shanghai. How much? I can’t be sure.”
Christie’s auction house in Shanghai?
The starting price was 40 million.
Today?
Chu Tian nodded slowly and said with a smile: “If you say so, this watch is pretty good, sister. Why didn’t you say it earlier? It won’t miss the auction, right?”
“I can’t,” Li Sisi laughed, “The auction doesn’t start until 7 pm. There’s a flight to the sorcery capital at noon and a flight at 4:30 pm. However, I’m worried that we’ll miss the time, so we’d better take the noon flight.”
