Top of the watch NEW YORK, US. One lucky collector could strike gold at Phillips this month with a watch designed by artificial intelligence.
On December 9th and 10th, the auction house will host The New York Watch Auction where buyers can get their hands on this.
Experts estimate the unique piece will sell for between Ł55,765 ($70,000) and $140,000 this weekend.
This unique design offers weight reduction and enhanced shock absorption abilities.
The unusual precision-moulded construction of the bezel and strap were crafted using a lost-wax casting process most often found in the world of jewellery.
Likewise, the components – all crafted from 18k yellow gold with zero resin buffering – were then hand-polished to achieve a gorgeous lustre.
Silicon gears and ruby ??bearings are visible within the brushed metal mainplate.
High-efficiency solar cells are placed on the periphery of the dial to power the timekeeping.
Need an extra light source? G-SHOCK even built a glowing red ring that can be activated at the press of a button to enable a perpetual internal power source.

Five years ago, G-Shock introduced the “Dream Project,” a small run of 35 solid-gold watches that retailed for Ł55,765 ($70,000) a pop.
The watchmaker then crafted a second edition in celebration of its 40th anniversary. G-SHOCK is widely recognized as a leader in producing function-first timepieces that can stand up to anything.
