Bay Area Shops?

Going to be in the SF Bay Area, and am curious about places to visit to browse vintage/neo-vintage Pateks.

Any recommendations on shops?

Kern's in Burlingame tends to have a handful of pre-owned Patek pieces available for purchase at any point in time. I wouldn't necessarily classify their rotation as vintage, however. And you do need to make an appointment beforehand to visit, so call in a few days ahead to schedule that if you go.

I don't know of any actually brick and mortar shops in the bay area for vintage Patek's. As per above, HQMilton might have some option but you need to make an appointment to visit them. Kerns down in Burlingame will have new and maybe a couple preowned but generally not vintage

Thanks, guys. I'll have to reach out to HQMilton to see what they have, because per the website, they don't have a single Patek for sale--all sold.

I’d also call Kerns and ask but I was there last week and I only a remember a 5131G for sale and bunch of ladies models for pre-owned but they get new pre-owned stuff all the time just call and ask before making the journey

Kerns always has a few used Patek. Most of them are consignment. It's worth to visit them.

I was at Kerns recently and they have a used 5168G in Blue dial. It wasn’t out on display so you might have to ask them.
