Does Tiffany dial help w value retention ?

[Humble michael]

Hi, if it was me , I would forget Tiffany. I even had a gold ellipse that had a Tiffany stamped dial and when I sent it to Patek for service I had them give me a new dial w/0 Tiffany stamp. Well that’s me, but in no way would I pay retail for a 5205. Go on EBay - there are several asking $34,500 or offer. IMO Patek is far superior to the other 2 especially if you are concerned about resale down the road.How could you compare them to an AC with moon phase in PP?? Just my 2 cents worth, james in San Antonio tx

Maybe outside, but definitely not in AD lighting, and ive tried on a 5170p at the AD too and i could see that gradient dial.

The 5170p dial is amazing.... just the hint of blue that burst out in different angles.

All things being equal I believe that Tiffany adds 20% to the "true" value. I'm not saying that a 5205 Tiffany signed dial is worth 20% more than $47k. What I am same is you can buy a pre-owned 5205 in the low $30k's and I do believe that a Tiffany signed dial adds about $6k to the watch.
