2023 Edition: Price trends in the secondary market {Part 3} [Patek Philippe]

How much do you know about the market price of luxury watches in the secondary market? If you look at the data of various watch shops every day, you may say, "I know it all!" However, it is nearly impossible to set aside the time to do so, and I think there are not many people like that. (Please forgive me, enthusiasts who check it every day (lol)). Furthermore, there are probably many people who are new to watches and think, "I want to buy a luxury watch, but honestly, I have no idea how much it will cost."

So in this article, we would like to tell you "how much each model is selling for" = "how much you can buy it for" based on the average selling price in our store over the past 6 months ! This is the third article, and this time we will focus on Patek Philippe's "Nautilus", "Aquanaut", and "Calatrava"! Although it is only a guideline, please read to the end and use it as a reference!

The Nautilus was created by Gerald Genta, a genius designer in the watch world. Here, we will introduce the SS (stainless steel) model and the solid gold model according to the material!

"Nautilus" SS (stainless steel) model

The Nautilus continues to gain popularity due to its iconic design, with its rounded octagonal bezel, case inspired by a ship's porthole, and horizontally embossed dial. There are many models equipped with mechanisms such as travel time and annual calendar, but the most popular is still the simple three-hand model. The simplicity of this sophisticated and beautiful design makes it stand out, and many people are attracted to it. The SS (stainless steel) model has already been discontinued, so it is priced at a considerable premium, but now that the market price is relatively stable, it may be a good time to buy it.

"Nautilus" solid gold model

The Nautilus is a solid gold model that has a very luxurious feel, completely different from the SS (stainless steel) model. The 18KRG (rose gold) model is gorgeous and exudes a mature sexiness, while the 18KWG (white gold) model exudes a mature and relaxed feel with its solid feel. Of course, the price is over four digits, so it's not something you can easily afford, but it's a Patek Philippe watch that every man who loves watches dreams of owning at least once, so it might be fun to work hard with this as your goal.

The Aquanaut is a luxury sports model that is second only to the Nautilus in popularity. Here, we will introduce the SS (stainless steel) model and the solid gold model according to the material!

"Aquanaut" SS (stainless steel) model

Inspired by the Nautilus, the Aquanaut features a rounded octagonal bezel and a tropical band made of a material that is waterproof, towing resistant, and UV resistant. The stainless steel models are often available in simple colors with black dials, making them very easy to use in business situations. Of course, the tropical band also has a casual side, so it can be said to be a versatile watch that can be used both on and off the job. Although the price is high, once you try it on, you will be sure to be captivated by its comfort and design.

Solid gold models, which often have a glamorous and sophisticated look, are characterized by their rich design, such as 18KRG (rose gold) with a brown dial, or 18KWG (white gold) with a blue or khaki green dial. Of course, they are also highly practical, and some models have a date display and chronograph function.

The Calatrava is known around the world as a classic round watch and as the most beautiful model that symbolizes the style of Patek Philippe. Here we will introduce the solid gold model!

"Calatrava" solid gold model

The Calatrava is known as the "perfect dress watch" and is attractive for its simple and elegant design. There are many simple models, starting with the so-called "Kunroku" series, which can be said to be the origin of the Calatrava, but there are also some slightly more unusual designs in the lineup, such as the recently released Calatrava Pilot Travel Watch. Some models are relatively affordable, so why not try looking for various models first?

What did you think.

The selling price of a watch varies greatly depending on various factors, such as the current trend, the balance between supply and demand, the condition of the watch, whether it has rare features, its year of manufacture, and whether it has accessories. In short, the selling price is determined by a combination of various factors, but by knowing the approximate selling price, you can set a goal for how much money you will need. We hope to introduce guidelines for other products in the future, so please look forward to it!

We hope this article helps you in your purchasing decision.
