The Patek Philippe Nautilus is one of the most sought after luxury watch models from any brand. It can also be one of the most expensive and there are various reasons for this, ranging from the relatively low numbers available on the market, to the difficulty associated with obtaining these watches from authorized dealers.
In this article, we explain Patek Philippe Nautilus prices in more detail, and outline what buyers can expect to pay.
For decades, Rolex watches have been the preferred choice of many celebrities, across various different industries, because they combine luxurious style with high-quality craftsmanship. This has also created significant interest in the precise models that famous figures choose to wear, and the Datejust remains a firm favorite.
Originally released in 1945, the Rolex Datejust was the world’s first commercially available wristwatch with an automatic date display function on the dial. Almost 75 years later, it continues to enjoy great popularity, both among established Rolex collectors and newcomers seeking an entry-level model.
In this blog post, we take a closer look at some of the most famous celebrities that are known to wear a Rolex Datejust and, where possible, offer information about the exact model they have opted for.
If you are the owner of an Audemars Piguet timepiece, you will know all about the brand’s high quality, but did you know that some pre-owned AP models actually sell for a higher price than the brand new retail price? This means that certain AP watches are an incredible investment, but the vast majority of AP models retain value well over time.
With that being said, if you are going to sell an Audemars Piguet watch, there are things you need to consider. Clearly, there is a substantial difference between selling an entry-level stainless steel AP Royal Oak for $20k, and selling a high-end gold and diamond AP Concept or Complications for somewhere in the region of $800k.

The Patek Philippe Nautilus was first introduced in the 1970s as a water resistant luxury sports watch. The original designer, Gérald Genta, based aspects of the timepiece’s appearance on ship portholes and this remains a defining characteristic of the Nautilus collection to this day. As the collection has expanded, buyers have been able to make a decision between various different Nautilus models, made from a variety of materials.
Stainless steel models within the Nautilus collection have a classic, enduring appeal, similar to that of the ’70s Nautilus watches. At that time, the concept of a luxury sports watch made from steel was considered a bold approach, but it is more commonplace today and the collection has stood the test of time. Aside from its visual appeal, the stainless steel used by Patek Philippe is durable, affordable and easy to clean.
Audemars Piguet is one of the biggest names in the field of luxury watch-making and while many different AP models have existed over the years, a select few lines have been able to maintain strong popularity as new releases emerge and as technology continues to advance. One of the very best examples of this is the Royal Oak collection.
In this article, we take a much closer look at the Royal Oak 15500 exploring its history, while also taking a more in-depth look at model updates throughout the years and the most popular watches in the collection’s history.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronographs have a relatively short, but fascinating history. The very first Royal Oak Chronograph was introduced within the separate Royal Oak Offshore line and this served as a vital step along the way to the main Royal Oak collection receiving its own chronograph models soon after.
In this blog post, we will provide an overview of the history of Royal Oak Chronographs, and take a more in-depth look at three of the most popular model updates that have been released over the years.
White gold is one of the most interesting Rolex watch materials, because it is often not visibly distinguishable from stainless steel, yet costs significantly more. This raises some key questions: Why do some buyers prefer the more expensive white gold option, and what are the advantages of choosing white gold over stainless steel?
Firstly, it is notable that white gold is both heavier and more resistant to corrosion than stainless steel. In addition, it is a more valuable material, providing a clearer sense of luxury, while retaining a more understated appearance than either yellow or rose gold. With that being said, white gold is also less scratch resistant than steel.
The decision of whether to purchase a steel or gold Rolex watch is one which many buyers struggle with. Steel has a classic, understated and sophisticated appeal, is more affordable and retains its value better after purchase, whereas gold is more expensive, conveys a stronger sense of luxury, but loses more of its value after purchase.
Of course, there is an alternative, in the form of the various two-tone steel and gold models that Rolex makes. In particular, the combination of steel and yellow gold serves as an ideal middle ground, offering affordability and status, and managing to blend the extravagance of yellow gold with the classic appeal of steel.
