Ownership Question

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question as I'm a long time collector, but only recently considering my fist Patek. My question is, if I buy a Patek from a friend of mine, can I transfer ownership officially with Patek so I can join patek.com/owners or is that benefit reserved for the person named on the warranty papers only? Thank you in advance.

You can register a pre-loved watch with the Patek website (and get the Patek magazine) no problem. Although, the owner website in itself is quite bland, last time I checked there was only some extra material supporting a few articles in the Patek Magazine.

You can definitely transfer ownership and get access to patek.com/owners, but as mentioned, there is nothing much to see over there

So if I own couple of pateks, some on my name and others purchased pre-owned, can I register the pre-owned ones on my name with patek? I was under impression that I can't.

I believe you can, but you are not going to get any additional benefits as I assume you already get the Patek Magazine and have access to the owners area on the website via the pieces bought under your own name.

I think what you cannot do is get an updated certificate with your name on, if you buy a preowned watch the first owner will remain listed in Patek's achieves as such.
