Top Patek Philippe timepieces drive second-hand tradeBloombergUltra-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. Along with the Patek Philippe model, the Rolex Lady DateJust Bimetal also made it back into the index. Meanwhile, a separate index tracking pre-owned Patek Philippe prices has gained 18 percent since the start of last year, compared with a 10 percent rise in the Rolex index, according to Subdial.
