Strong Bidding - $47,500 (with Commission) / 8 Days Remain

We are seeing some strong bidding for the Reference 2446 (screw-back) Seafarer, with a bid of $38,000 at the top of the board (which will be $47,500, with the 25% buyer's commission).

Here's the Sotheby's catalog listing -- https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/fine-watches-2/reference-2446-seafarer-retailed-by-abercrombie

Interesting to compare with the early Seafarer (Reference 346) that sold for $60,000 in June 2017 (shown below). People do seem to like the tropical Seafarers!!
