Sell Your Patek Philippe for a Fair Market Price

Patek Philippe and Its Valuable Legacy
For over 180 years, Patek Philippe has set the benchmark for excellence in luxury watchmaking. Known for timeless designs, meticulous hand-finishing, and complex mechanical innovations, owning one of these watches means owning part of a legacy. This is a legacy that’s then passed down through generations.
Whether it’s a modern reference or a vintage Patek Philippe watch, collectors and connoisseurs alike recognise the enduring value and prestige these watches represent. Many models, especially rare or limited-edition pieces, have steadily appreciated over time, with auction results and private sales frequently setting new records. But even beyond market trends, the emotional and historical significance of a Patek Philippe gives it an unmatched position in the world of horology.

By working with us, you will also be gaining access to a wide network of buyers, collectors, and other interested parties who may decide to pay more than a market price for your watch.
Why You Might Sell Your Patek Philippe
There are many reasons why someone might choose to sell a Patek Philippe watch, and we understand that each decision is personal. For some, it’s about the value of the investment. Patek Philippe watches are known for their ability to retain, and often grow, in value over time, making them a practical asset to sell when funding new ventures, property purchases, or other major life goals.
Others may be dealing with inheritance, having received a watch that, while cherished, may not suit their taste or lifestyle. In such cases, selling the watch can be a way to honour its worth while putting its value to meaningful use. We also regularly assist clients who are downsizing, simplifying their collections, or shifting their focus. Tastes evolve, and what once held pride of place may now feel better suited to another collector or enthusiast.
Whatever your reason, we offer a discreet and dignified way to sell, with free in-home valuations carried out personally by Daniel Ives.
As there are so many variables, it is impossible to give a pre-owned Patek Philippe watch a rough estimate, but it may be thousands of pounds.
The best way to find out how much your watch is worth is to get in touch and book your valuation.
