Critère, Ce qui départage les deux références

Notre conseil d'expert

  • Try both sizes before deciding: the difference is apparent when worn, not in a photo.
  • Given the same budget, a piece in excellent condition is preferable to a rarer, damaged model.
  • Ask us for a video comparison: we will present both items side-by-side.

Rolex ou Patek Philippe : deux références que nos experts comparent quotidiennement en atelier. Le choix se joue sur l'usage réel, la liquidité du modèle sur le marché secondaire et l'état de la pièce proposée. A collectible watch is judged on the consistency of its overall condition: unpolished case, original dial and serviced movement.

How to authenticate

  • Case and movement numbers consistent with each other and with the reference
  • Calibre opened in workshop: original finishes, engravings and parts
  • Original dial and hands, homogeneous lume, no repainting
  • Strap, deployant buckle and links stamped by the manufacturer
