Get Free AppraisalModel & Reference
Certain Patek Philippe references command extraordinary premiums. Steel Nautilus and Aquanaut models often trade 100-200% above retail. Discontinued references and limited editions bring additional premiums. Current market demand drives pricing.
Condition & Originality
Condition is critical for Patek Philippe. Unpolished cases, original dials, and factory finishes command significant premiums. Any service replacements or modifications reduce value. We pay premium prices for completely original examples.
Complications
Complications exponentially increase value. Annual calendars, perpetual calendars, chronographs, world timers, and minute repeaters each add substantial premiums. Grand complications can reach seven figures.
Documentation
Extract from the Archives, original papers, box, and service records significantly impact value - often 15-30% premium for complete documentation. Provenance and ownership history matter for high-value pieces.
Market Timing
Patek Philippe market conditions affect pricing. Some references benefit from auction season timing, while others maintain consistent demand. We provide transparent market analysis for your specific piece.
