Introducing the Speedmaster 321 Canopus Gold
How celebrated? Well, we know that prices for the CK2915 have been on an upward trajectory since the first time it set records for the Speedmaster when Phillips Watches sold a pristine example of a ref. CK2915-1 for the superb sum of CHF 408,500, against an estimate of CHF 80,000-140,000, at their Geneva Watch Auction on 12 May 2018. Of course, that record was been well and shattered a short three years on when a tropical chocolate dial example of the ref. 2915-1 sold with Phillips again at the November 2021 Geneva sale for an earth-shattering CHF 3,115,500.
Next, we look to the bezel, which on the 1957 CK2915 presented the very first watch with an engraved tachymeter on a bezel, placed there for maximum visibility. On the Speedmaster 321 Canopus GoldTM the bezel has been given this engraved tachymeter filled in with black “Grand Feu” enamel. Further examination will reveal that the tachymeter has been endowed with the famous dot over ninety (DON) and a dot diagonal to seventy details.
