the collection value of old watches made in China
Since it came into being, high-grade watches have become fashionable luxury goods for buyers to show off their identity. The function of watches is not only convenient for timing, but also a reflection of the status and value of buyers. Many stars and rich people will spend a lot of money to buy brand-name watches to show their worth. At present, there are famous brands such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Blancpain, Wanguo, Earl, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, Zhibo, etc. These famous watches have high-quality movement and classic appearance, which not only bring value to buyers, but also make them a collection with historical value and collection significance.
as we all know, Switzerland has always been famous for producing high-grade watches. Swiss watches are sold all over the world and are very popular among people from all walks of life. Therefore, Swiss watches have almost become synonymous with famous watches. What's more, almost every year, Swiss watches of various brands will increase their prices by 5%-1%. In 26, driven by the price increase of Swiss brands, the auction price of famous watches began to rise. At Christie's auction in 26, a Patek Philippe stainless steel chronograph with model 1463 fetched a high price of HK$ 91,, while another Earl's women's 18K gold-encrusted diamond oval chain watch sold for a high price of HK$ 2.58 million.
this is not the most expensive. In 1933, an American banker ordered a watch from Patek Philippe. This watch has more than 9 parts and 24 functions, and it can accurately tell the time to 21. It is the most complicated watch in the world. It was not until 1941 that the banker got his watch. It is said that it took three years to design this watch and another five years to make it. After 66 years, this piece took 8 years? Grinding? Cheng's watch beat the 1998 one with a price of $11,2,5. 18K gold perpetual calendar three-question pocket watch? Created a record of 19.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
judging from the collection situation, there are two kinds of collectors' collections at present, one is watches, and the other is pocket watches. Among them, orientals like to collect watches, while Europeans and Americans like to collect pocket watches. Then, what is the secret of collecting watches? In my opinion, the brand should be the first thing to collect watches. The bigger the brand, the higher the collection value. The world's top ten watches selected by consumers, to a great extent, show the brand's awareness in the market. In this selection, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Earl and Rolex are all on the list. As for the collection value of domestic famous watches, it is far less than that of world famous watches. A few years ago, a watch from Shanghai Watch Factory was auctioned at a price of 111, yuan, which created the highest price for domestic watches, and this price has not been exceeded so far. This is called? China's first watch? China's first all-steel thin horse long three-needle watch.
Secondly, whether the watches selected by collectors are scarce, especially the watches produced in limited quantities are of high collection value, such as the extremely rare Patek Philippe 3448 platinum watch. This watch has the functions of perpetual calendar and moon phase gain and loss. It is the first automatic perpetual calendar watch of this brand. It was launched in 1962 and discontinued in 1981, with an estimated value of HK$ 8,-1,,. It is said that its total output has only been around 6, since its establishment more than a century and a half ago.
thirdly, the functionality of the watch. On the basis of ensuring the brand, the more complex the general function, the more appreciation potential it has. For example, as mentioned earlier, American bankers customized a watch from Patek Philippe. This watch has more than 9 parts and 24 functions, and it can accurately tell the time to 21. It can be called the most complicated watch in the world. Obviously, the value of this famous watch is self-evident.
fourthly, the older the watches of the same brand are, the less the quantity, the greater the appreciation space. However, this does not mean that modern watches have no collection value, and watches with fine elements and limited edition also have appreciation potential.
fifth, the material of the watch. The most precious case material is platinum, followed by 18K gold, 14K gold, 9K gold, silver, gold-clad, silver-clad, steel and other categories. Among K gold, red gold is the most precious. In addition, under the same conditions, special-shaped watches are more valuable than conventional watches. For example, square-shaped watches are more expensive than round-shaped watches, long-shaped watches are more expensive than square-shaped watches, and triangular watches are more expensive than square-shaped watches.
As many people all over the world love Swiss watches, wearing Swiss watches is a kind of taste, a kind of value and a kind of fashion. In addition, Swiss watches will adjust their prices every year, and prices often only go up but not down, so the steady rise of prices is undoubtedly the general trend.
