Hello All

I frequent estate sales in my area, and this vintage ladies Patek was posted to be available at the sale this weekend. They don't post any pricing and there is usually a scramble of people when they open the doors, so I need to have all my research done prior to the sale.

Any ideas on a reference number or model name?

Assuming it is in good condition, any ideas (roughly) what it could be worth?

Thank you!

 

There is a very limited market for small ladies watches, even high-end ones.

 

Unless it's something you want for a significant other, I wouldn't bother trying to get there to buy it.

 

Thank you for the feedback, and yes it would be for a significant other - this was the first watch that she has shown any interest in

 

If you can get it for a reasonable price and figuring in an overhaul, it may be worthwhile if your other likes it and will wear it. That bracelet is some aftermarket job, it would look better on a nice croc strap, imo. No idea what the market value is, but I wouldn't get swept up by the name on the dial and overpaying for it.

 

Check the case and bracelet for hallmarks. If both are solid gold, then the floor for the watch value would be the scrap price of those elements. The value only goes down if the case or bracelet are plated. Given that you have a recipient in mind, I wouldn't go above $250.

 

Beautiful watch - this would make for a great gift.

 

Thank you for all the advice and input!

That's why I'm here asking for advice. I want to be smart about it, but also don't want to pass it up if I can get it for a good price.

Thank you - this is very helpful.

Thanks - I thought so too!

 

It's been a few months, did you end up buying the watch?

 

Lovely find.
