Buying a luxury watch is a significant investment—and when you're exploring the pre-owned market, it's important to make smart, informed choices. At 959 Deluxe, we specialize in authentic pre-owned luxury watches, including coveted brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet. Whether you're new to watch collecting or expanding your collection, here's how to confidently buy a high-end timepiece that retains its value and showcases your style.
1. Know What You’re Buying
Before purchasing a pre-owned luxury watch, it's important to understand the basics:
- Brand and model: Are you buying a Submariner, a Nautilus, or a Royal Oak? Each has different values and markets.
- Reference number: Helps identify the exact watch configuration (case material, dial color, bracelet).
- Condition: Is the watch new, unworn, lightly used, or vintage? This affects pricing and collectibility.
2. Buy from a Trusted Source
The pre-owned watch market is full of great deals—but also counterfeits. That’s why it’s critical to buy from a reputable seller that provides:
- Authentication by experts
- Original box and papers, when available
- Detailed condition reports
- Clear return and warranty policies
At 959 Deluxe, every luxury watch we sell is thoroughly authenticated and backed by our lifetime authenticity guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind.
3. Understand the Investment Value
Unlike most fashion items, luxury watches can hold—or even increase—in value over time. Models like the Rolex Submariner 126610LV, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, and the Patek Philippe Nautilus often appreciate due to brand prestige, limited availability, and growing collector demand.
Buying pre-owned allows you to enter the market at a better price point while still benefiting from long-term investment potential.
4. Know What Comes with the Watch
Always ask:
- Does it include the original box and papers?
- Has the watch been serviced or polished?
- Is there any warranty coverage provided by the seller?
These details don’t just affect the value—they also give insight into how well the watch was cared for.
5. Choose a Watch That Matches Your Lifestyle
Beyond resale value, choose a watch you’ll enjoy wearing.
- Do you want something understated and professional, like a Patek Philippe Calatrava?
- Or a bold sports model like the Rolex GMT-Master II?
