£20,000 spread (GBP)

[Busyboy]

I know times are crazy in the real world
And they used to be reciprocally crazy in the watch game

But, with respect to my risk of unintentionally "advertising product" , and the rules on this forum...

I'm not saying who, or where... But NOW, there does seem to be a difference of up to a margin of £20,000 on the same Patek Philippe watch... Same year, same country... Same condition and Provence.


I realize I won't be the only one that's spotted that, but surely the pre-owned market is due to correct... Both the watches I speak of are advertised as I write, on well established platforms...

Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've been passionate about watches for about 30years, about ten of which I've been more aware of the likes of trends and bubbles, so I'm not Naive, but I am - startled!

There is a lot of wishful and hopeful thinking in the asking prices of watches. Never know when a high asking price will actually result in a sale for that price.

I think I know which dealers you're talking about. The dealer selling for £20,000 more is clearly deluded - the watch has been sitting there for months.

Another stark example is the same dealer is trying to sell a used 2018 5712 for £17,500 more than what another dealer is selling a BNIB 5712 from 2020 for.
