5230G World Time NY Edition
I recently picked one up. I like the World Time reference but this watch was quite a bit more expensive than a standard 5131.
Do you think this watch is a keeper because there where only 300 made? Thanks in advance for your input. |

IMO 300 is a large number for a LE WT.
It's probably not a good idea to compare this watch with a 5131, which has an enamel dial. If you love the watch, then it is a keeper. |

The 5131G was substantially more expensive than the 5230G NY when it was discontinued. $68,000 compared to $53,299 for the 5230G NY. I really like the watch but I wouldn't expect big returns in the short term.

If you bought the 5230 NY Edition at sticker, it's already appreciated $30k+

I still think it is a very attractive piece just not one that has appreciated in the short term.

Not sure why purchasing Pateks recently by "enthusiasts" have gravitated their questions on this forum regarding resale or future value of the watches purchased. One should always purchase watches based on their means...don't go out and purchase a $60k watch if your income level doesn't justify the purchase. Buying watches for gain/profit is probably not a solid investment advice. Furthermore, purchases should be based on your interest in the brand and probably months of research into the watch. I certainly don't wake up one day and say "I going buy a $60k watch today!" Watch purchases, especially Patek watches, are an art in itself...not an impulse buy as most ppl have done. They end up re-selling the watch or now have a $60K "jewelry" that they do not feel comfortable wearing. Always do your "research" before any purchase to avoid that "I wish I should have..." feeling.

I bought it from a grey dealer for 54k.
I don't buy to sell or trade. Psychologically thought, I like to think my downside is 10%-15%. I think my loss would be greater on this watch. Shows me Chrono24 is far from accurate. |

Then buy the watch "right" to avoid taking too big a hit if you for whatever reason need to sell at a later point (e.g. not bonding with watch, restlessness, wanting to trade up to a more expensive watch or just needing to free up liquidity). Even those with almost unlimited funds do not like the feeling of having overpaid for something. For some models buying right means building AD relationship and waiting for a while to buy at RRP (or if you are the more impatient type and/or waitlists are impossible buy at a reasonable but not crazy premium to circumvent playing the AD game). For other models it means buying from trusted sellers below RRP to get a great but under appreciated watch at a even greater price. |

I dont think uts going to be particularly desirous at 300 and as WT. Oy some of the 5130 LE are kf any unteredt at smaller production numbers. I think of Mecca at 150 as an example.

I think at $54k which is near retail is not a bad price.

I feel like based on the listings on various websites only 100/300 purchased were ever by people wanting to actually wear the watch. So much inventory people trying to flip is probably hindering secondary sales.
