A. EINSTEIN’s watch was auctioned with a sky-high price

The Longines worn by A. EINSTEIN in 1930’s was sold in the Antiquorum auction recently. The auction used to expect that this watch would be auctioned with a price of 35,000USD, while it was eventually stricken a bargain with a price of 520,000 USD (it is 596,000 USD in total including the auction fee), which is nearly 20 times as the expected price. It is so high that makes a record on the Longines auction history.
