Rare indeed.

Wow, what a unique timepiece!

DD58 · 10 November 2021, 12:41 AM

So awesome back then this was the pinnacle of technology. Imagine if Rolex didn’t make this watch. I’d like to try it on (never going to happen) would be awesome

It will go for more than that.

Fabulous piece of horological history. Hope it goes to a worthy home.

As an aside I remember when micro-brand Helberg/H20 were making a version of that. Not sure if they still do or not.... or indeed why you'd buy one as it's totally impractical.

It sold on Sunday and didn’t even make the low estimate.

I suspect even collectors want something they can actually wear.

I had two (bronze and SS) and now just have the SS. It’s very practical in the summer and as a mood piece. I doubt I’ll ever sell it.

Surprised that went for as little as it did. Was expecting to see 3mil.

That 5517, though. Damn!

I’ve got one of the Helberg CH-1’s in bronze. I don’t wear it much but it’s quite a conversation starter, even non-watch people notice the bubble crystal.

I think there was a second one also auctioned sometime this weekend and that have dragged the price down a bit.
