Looking to sell your Patek Philippe watch, but don't know where to start?

We're here for you! We know it could feel like there are so many options to go for. And because you're selling a luxury good, there's considerable worry about whether you'll get the true worth for your watch when you're making a deal. Not to mention the risks of getting scammed.

And so, we're here to guide you on the best way you can sell your Patek Philippe watch safely and fast. Read on to learn more.

Things to Check About Your Patek Philippe Watch Before Selling

 

First things first, you have to take a good look at your Patek Philippe watch before checking places where to sell it. There are certain things you need to know about your own watch so you won't fall prey to dishonest tricks you may encounter on your selling journey.

Here are a few things you need to check out if you plan to sell a Patek Philippe watch.

Rarity and Model

The price of a secondhand Patek Philippe watch depends on its model's rarity in the market. The rarer the watch is, the higher it is valued in the secondhand market.

Knowing this, you can easily check online how much your watch is currently valued in the market.

Perhaps you don't know the model of your watch because it was given to you as a gift or as an heirloom by a relative. That's fine, you can try looking for papers, boxes, or the original receipt it might have come with.

If you have none of these papers, you can try visiting your local watch store or try to find assistance online that can help you figure out your watch's model.

Remember that you do not have to ship or leave your watch at the store. You can either watch as the shop owner examines your watch or send pictures to experts online to do this process.

Condition

The next thing you have to check is your watch's current condition. Does it have any scratches or dents? Does it have any modifications? Did you have it serviced in the last couple of years?

Collectors would pay a premium for Patek Philippe watches that are well-maintained and have all of their genuine accessories intact.

However, don't panic if you have scratches or dents here and there. Don't take it to a repair shop because that might cause more damage to your watch instead.

Dishonesty about your watch's condition may damage your reputation as a seller. So, be honest with your potential buyer about the scratches and dents of your watch. Provide them with your watch's service records (if you have any) and tell them if there are modifications done to the watch.

Secondhand Patek Philippe watches with a few damages can still be sold, although not as much as pristine ones.

Market Demand

The last thing you have to check is market demand. Like any other goods in the market, luxury goods like Patek Philippe watches are also affected by current market trends such as economic factors and changing collector preferences.

Do your research online about the current market trends around luxury watches. Staying informed about these trends will help you decide whether it's a good time to sell used Patek Philippe watch or to hold off until a better time.
