Critère, Ce qui départage les deux références

Our expert advice

  • Try both sizes before deciding: the difference is apparent when worn, not in a photo.
  • For the same budget, first compare the actual condition of each piece, described on its product page.
  • Ask us for a video comparison: we will present both items side-by-side.

Rolex or Patek Philippe: two references our experts compare daily in the workshop. The choice depends on its intended use, the model's liquidity on the secondary market, and the condition of the piece. 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
