This watch has excellent investment potential, as Patek Philippe resale value is above that of all other makers, vintage or modern. Patek Phillippe watches are some of the most sought after in the world, as it is said that fewer than 1 million Patek Philippe watches have been made since 1839. The Patek production is so detailed that it takes approximately nine months to make its most basic watches, and over two years to produce some of the more complicated pieces. The watch measures 9.25" in length, and is working smoothly. It will come with the Patek Extract from the Archives. Movement #: 128XXXX, Case #: 528XXX, Ref. #: 3634.
