Patek 175th Anniversary Releases

Patek Philippe officially launched its 175^th Anniversary watches. There is a new wristwatch complications champion in the Patek line. It is called the Patek Philippe 5175j supercomplication. It consists of no less than 20 complications officially overtaking the 5002/6002 as the most complicated wrist watch ever created by Patek Philippe.

The Patek Philippe 5975 is available in rose, yellow and gold as well as platinum. The 5975 is Patek Philippe’s first in house chronograph with an automatic movement. This watch also features a multi scale chrono dial. This watch in our opinion was unexpected but never the less a joy to have in the Patek range.

The fan favorite seemed to be the Patek Philippe 5575 only available in white gold. This is a classic Patek Philippe World Timer with a twist. It has an amazing moonphone. Unlike most Patek moonphases this one has a very detailed moon as well as a multitude of stars that follow the rotation. We think the 5575 is the winner of the 175^th Anniversary releases. It is also available in ladies size in yellow gold reference 7175 with a diamond bezel. 

The last and final piece of the 175^th anniversary collection is the PatekPhilippe grand complication. It has a gorgeous silver opaline and embossed dial that is absolutely fantastic. The case is hand engraved on the side and is a work of art. Now of course the complication on this watch is the repeater function. Being platinum we expect it to give a nice clear higher pitched sound than say a rose gold case.  Overall the 175^th Anniversary Collection has been a homerun and I am sure these limited watches will all sell out very quickly. If you are interested in getting one please contact SwissWatchTime.com for availability.

How to sell Your Rolex Watch

Everyone knows if you want a new Rolex you can walk into an Authorized Dealer and buy one. But what do you do when you are ready to sell your Rolex and cash out or upgrade it to a better model? Well there are several options of liquidating or upgrading your Rolex watch or any other fine Swiss Watch you may be looking to sell.

Your first option is always taking it into the Authorized Dealer you bought it from and see if they will make you an offer. Often times however the Dealer will only take make an offer if you are looking to get another watch from them and usually give you a heavily discounted trade in value.

Your second option would be taking it to a local gold or pawnshop. We cannot stress enough to avoid places like this. They do not know the true value of Swiss Watches and will almost always give you a very low offer.

Your third option is trying to sell it yourself on eBay or an online forum. This could be a great option if you have the proper shipping insurance (UPS, FedEx only insure up to 5000), which is sometimes difficult to get. There are so many scams so pleases be very cautions when selling online. We suggest not using Western Union or PayPal. We suggest accepting bank wire transfer only. This might be a good option if the seller is not in a hurry and can mitigate their risk.

The fourth option is to sell it to a highly regarded and highly trusted online store such as SwissWatchTime.com. A company like this specializes in Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet watches and pay top dollar for Swiss Watches. They provide a free shipping label so the seller does not have to worry about shipping insurance or shipping costs. They often pay within 10% of retail market value.

Often times selling a watch can be an ominous task but after reading this we hope you have a better idea of how best to liquidate your watch.
