The Historiques might be changing that, too: a trio of original 222s in each metal (that is: steel, yellow gold, and two-tone) sold in succession at link auction in May, all for more than six figures. link While the 222 has always been rarer than its '70s counterparts – only link about 700 "Jumbos" were made – the auction market never really cared much. But suddenly, a design that some had dismissed as outdated felt retro in a cool way.
