Screw back round pushered sports versions are by far the most collectable chronographs produced by Patek along with the split seconds. They had the same movements as the more common snap backs such as reference 130 but were much chunkier in appearance due to the construction of their waterproof cases. These versions go for between 3 and 4 times the price of their snap back counterparts yet the cases were not even manufactured by Patek! They were however signed by them. This example retains its original engraved dial that has not been brushed or refilled in any way.
1st & foremost, we understand & take responsibility for the fact that both tastes & horological fashions are ever changing.
We do this by being willing to take back past pieces we've sold either in the form of part exchanges or cash when needed.
With clients rarely loosing more than 15-20% in this process & even benefitting from large profits on occasion, we believe this is the way to build trust with the public. For example. If going 'off piste' & not sticking to in vogue trendy watches such as Batman's, we believe you would incur the same monetary loss spending £20,000 with us on your various purchases as you would spending £8500 at new RRP.
The very fact that we've never advertised in over 30 years shows we have a long standing loyal customer base. Please see testimonials for more on this.

Like the reintroduction of the Mini motorcar over a decade ago, this reinterpretation of Big Pilot by IWC is better than the original. This 1st series Platinum example is of course the top of the top.
