First time I use Bloombar watches to sell a watch and as all other reviews attest, everything was great and would highly recommend without hesitation. Quick email replies, good knowledge, very fair pricing and money wired to my account before I left. Add to that just lovely team/people to deal with. Will be on my list of people to use for next purchase and sale.

Great experience from start to finish! Found Bloombar via a social media post and was hesitant at first to deal with a company in this way but so glad I did. The watch was presented in mint condition and a visit to their London office sealed the deal. Everyone at Bloombar knows their stuff and if you have questions or concerns, you can discuss them with experts. Will definitely return when next looking to buy.

Flawless. Really satisfying to find a business that truly looks after you and has the patience to work with you to get exactly what you are looking for. Sam was brilliant.
The aftersales service (to adjust the strap and demonstrate how the watch functions work) has also been exemplary
There really is no other place to buy a watch.

How Much Is My Patek Philippe Worth?

Patek Philippe is renowned as part of the ‘Holy Trinity of watchmaking’, with long waiting lists and limited production numbers significantly impacting valuation. Its reputation and long-lasting quality are highly attractive to luxury watch collectors, many of whom seek to invest in an asset that can be passed down to future generations.

Our in-house specialists will carefully study your Patek Philippe for details that may make your piece unique. Other factors may also play a part such as recent auction prices, trends and external economic factors.

Notable Patek Philippe models
We buy all models Patek Philippe, both current and vintage. Here are some of the most commonly traded Patek Philippe models:
Nautilus

Nautilus has been Patek Philippe’s leading sports-luxe watch since 1976, with an iconic and instantly recognizable rounded octagonal bezel. Today, the collection offers models for men and women in steel, white gold, rose gold and two-tone combinations. A great example is the Reference 5711/1A with a three-hand time display with date, self-winding mechanical movement, stainless steel case and blue or white dial.

Aquanaut

Released in 1997, the Aquanaut collection grabbed headlines with a modern and unexpected approach. Inspired by the shape of the Nautilus, it pushes the sport-luxe concept to another level with a tropical, composite ultra-resistant strap.

Notably, Paul McCartney wears the 40.8mm Reference 5167 with a black and steel dial.

Calatrava

The Calatrava collection is a classic dress watch with character and retro style. A cornerstone of the brand, it’s renowned for its understated design and clean lines. Named after the Calatrava Cross, it’s a symbol of the brand’s commitment to heritage. Models are available in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold and platinum.

Grand Complications

The term ‘haute horology’ gets overused, but few watch collections truly represent that term more than Patek Philippe’s Grand Complications. Sleek, sophisticated and featuring the Patek Philippe seal, the 41 models showcase incredible precision and artistry.

Minute Repeaters

Chiming using a series of gongs and hammers, the Grand Complications Minute Repeater subcollection is one of today’s most coveted luxury watches featuring tourbillons, perpetual calendars, dual time zones and further complications.

Perpetual Calendars

The Grand Complications Perpetual Calendar subcollection’s complex mechanism allows the watch to automatically recognize the different lengths of each month and leap year. Recorrection is only required once every 400 years. The stunning Reference 5327J even features moon phases.

Astronomical Watches

The truly stunning Grand Complications Astronomical Watches combine Patek Philippe’s very best technical and artistic skills such as with the exquisite Ref. 6002 Sky Moon Tourbillon.

Complications

Bridging the gap between Patek Philippe’s Grand Complications and minimal Calatrava models, the Complications collection is considered more accessible with GMTs, annual calendar and chronographs.

While not quite as rare as Grand Complications, they are still produced in limited quantities and are highly sought after. Every Complications watch meets the strongest requirements for the Patek Philippe Seal and is hand-finished with incredible levels of detail.

Notably, the World Time Reference 5230R displays 24 different time zones simultaneously and has a beautiful guilloché dial.

Gondolo

Paying homage to the brand’s early 20th-century Art Deco heritage, the Gondolo collection stands out for breaking away from the traditional round case. Instead, its rectangular tonneau and cushion cases provide the brand’s ‘form’ watches that are utterly beautiful.

Golden Ellipse

As one of Patek Philip’s most iconic collections, the Golden Ellipse was launched in 1968 with a bold elliptical shape. The shape itself was inspired by the ‘Golden Ratio’ which is widely used in architecture even in the Greek Parthenon.

Twenty-4

In 1999, Patek Philippe dedicated a collection to feminine elegance with the Twenty-4 collection. Available in diamond-set rose gold or stainless steel it was an instant hit for luxury watch collectors. Today, brand new models exist including those with self-winding mechanisms and round cases. The 7300/1450R is simply jaw-dropping in person thanks to its dial paved with diamonds, gold applied numerals and an 18K gold dial plate.
