Introduction to the Zenith Christophe Colomb Tourbillon

　　ZenithThe Christophe Colomb Tourbillon is a classic timepiece by Zenith, so is the Zenith Christophe Colomb Tourbillon any good? Let us take a look together.

　　Overview of the Zenith Christophe Colomb Tourbillon

　　Zenith Christophe Colomb Tourbillon. 18K rose gold case, case diameter 45 mm, with a curved sapphire crystal covering the tourbillon module. The off-centre hours and minutes display is located at the 12 o'clock position, the power reserve is at the 3 o'clock position, and the small seconds display is at the 9 o'clock position. The dial is decorated with an exquisite guilloché pattern, appearing refined and majestic. Equipped with the ACADEMY 8804 manual-winding movement, it maintains a high beat frequency of 36000 vibrations per hour and, unprecedentedly, uses a self-regulating gyroscopic module to keep the tourbillon device in a horizontal position at all times just like a marine chronometer. Limited to 25 pieces each in yellow gold, rose gold and white gold, priced at only 1412000. In the secondary market, you cannot find a better value watch than this.

　　Although gold watches are also considered gold jewellery, in the valuation system of watches, technical content and craftsmanship take precedence. Jewellery, on the other hand, is based on raw materials, with material costs accounting for a high proportion. Therefore, in this round of gold price increases, gold jewellery in the market has adjusted its prices accordingly, whereas the prices of gold watches have remained stable. However, no price increase does not mean that the material is meaningless for watch collecting and value retention. Friends who follow watch auctions should have deep appreciation of this; virtually all pieces that command high prices in the auction room are gold watches.

　　For example, at Christie's 'Important Watches and the Millennium Collection' spring auction held in 6 this year, among the top 10 by hammer price there were 4 platinum watches, 2 red gold watches, 2 yellow gold watches (including one Piaget jewellery watch), and 1 white gold watches. The top three were all platinum watches, specifically the Patek Philippe 5002P, Patek Philippe 3939HP, and the Jaeger-LeCoultre GyroTOURBILLON 1 spherical tourbillon perpetual calendar watch. The only non-gold piece was the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Tourbillon crafted from titanium, carbon fibre and high-tech ceramic launched in 2008, which had also reached the pinnacle of material technology.

　　That is to say, while one cannot expect to make a profit from buying a gold watch, at the very least it retains its value better than a steel watch and offers greater peace of mind. Especially for gold watches with complications and limited editions, once you tire of wearing them, they can be resold without suffering excessive losses. Steel watches, with the exception of a few houses like Patek Philippe and Rolex, generally possess little to no value retention.
