Czapek x Fratello Antarctique Passage de Drake

[Luchi12]

I am very interested in acquiring this particular watch, I have been following Czapek for a while now and with the order books reopening this weekend I have been looking to acquire a Passage de Drake. This would be my first ‘high horology’ watch, having only owned Rolexes at present. From what I can gather the Passage de Drake is well worth the money in comparison to what you’d pay for a similar integrated sports watch from other high horology brands (given the lack of availability at retail). Can any owners confirm that to ring true?

When doing my research, I came across this particular dial, which I find stunning, I know that they were limited to 50 pieces, does anyone here own one of those 50 and does anyone have any idea on what kind of price it would go for on the grey market? The prices I have seen seem to be pretty sporadic with the watches also sitting in stock for quite a while. How much of a premium would you expect over retail? Ideally, I’d love one of these over the standard dials.

Thanks

C24 is showing 35 to 40k. I have a different dial and love it.

What dial do you have? Yeah the one at $35k was originally listed for $40k in November last year (still showing as $40k on the initial post on their Instagram). $35k would probably be too strong for me but appreciate that it is a highly limited dial.

Ticking Way is sitting on a number of Antarticques. I suspect you could start with an offer around retail on some of these, and work your way up. Just know the limit of what you are willing to spend. The white stairway to eternity dial is stunning, and some are on C24 near retail. The Fratello green is going to be a premium.

Luchi, have the Monochrome version and she's been very durable and consistent.

Yeah they have a Fratello, they had it up at $40k initially but it’s been dropped to $35k. I messaged them this morning to see what their very best price is but no response yet.
