Frequently Asked Questions
Are your Patek Philippe watches authentic?
Yes. Every Patek Philippe watch is inspected by specialists who check the case, movement and serial/reference numbers and compare against manufacturer specifications. We also verify provenance and conduct due‑diligence checks before listing.
Do Patek Philippe watches come with original box and papers?
Where available, we include original box and papers and state this clearly on each product page. When not available, we provide our own documentation and a record of authenticity checks.
Can you source a specific Patek Philippe model or reference?
Yes—tell us the reference you’re after and our sourcing team can search our network to locate it and provide timelines and pricing.
