The Patek Philippe models to know

On the secondary market, the value of a Patek Philippe watch is decided first by the reference. Here are the lines our experts see most often — and those that resell best.

• Nautilus (1976) — An icon of sport chic designed by Gérald Genta in 1976.
• Aquanaut (1997) — A modern and sporty version of the Nautilus.
• Calatrava (1932) — The essence of classic elegance, round and refined.

Patek Philippe: what is it worth on resale?

Nautilus and Aquanaut: waiting lists of several years, 50-200% premium on the secondary market.

The pre-owned watch market has normalised since the 2022 peaks: steel sports references keep a premium, while gold and dress models currently offer the best entry points.

How we authenticate a Patek Philippe piece

Every piece that joins Monogram Paris follows the same protocol in our Paris workshops: no catalogue photography, no supplier imagery, only shots of the actual item.

• Case and movement numbers recorded and cross-checked against the registers
• Dial, indexes and hands: printing, luminova and any relume documented
• Movement opened by a watchmaker: calibre, finishing, service parts
• Amplitude and instantaneous rate checked before listing
• Bracelet, deployant clasp and links inspected one by one

Care and storage

• Service recommended every 5 to 7 years depending on the calibre
• Water resistance test after every case opening
• Avoid magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic bags, tablets)
