Top-Tier Patek Philippe Models Drive Gains in Second-Hand Market

Ultra-high-end Patek Philippe timepieces made from precious metals are driving a sustained recovery in the used watch market.

Patek Philippe watches were the biggest gainers in the latest Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most-traded watches by transaction value. They included a 26-place jump for the white gold Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual Calendar, while the Patek Philippe Rose Gold Travel Time Chronograph returned to the benchmark.
