Vintage Patek Philippe is the highest tier of the collectors' market. Even simple gold Calatravas from the 1950s carry substantial value, and complicated references can reach figures that surprise families clearing an estate.
What we look at
We never quote a vintage Patek on brand alone — the reference, case maker, dial finish and archive record all count. An Extract from the Archives is worth obtaining before sale and we can advise on it.

Vintage Patek Philippe questions we are asked
My late father left a Patek — where do I start?
Send us clear photos of the dial, case back and movement. We will identify it and explain what it is worth, with no obligation.
Do you buy Patek pocket watches?
Yes, and they are frequently worth far more than their gold weight.
