i have a patek phillippe and i'd like to get it appraised, it is 18k gold case, 14k braclet, case is round, and my grandfather recieved it 35 yrs ago, so it is about 35-40 yrs old or older.     | ||

It's difficult to say without knowing the reference number of the case. Generally, this will be stamped on the inside of the case back. | ||

| Zaf Moderator Username: Zaf Post Number: 2722 Registered: 05-2003 Rating: N/A |
no without the caseback reference, it can be anywhere from $3k to $30k. | ||

if you have a reference, I can get you a good estimate. Also a case diameter is useful. | ||

would you happen to know anyone who knows how to handle the watch to take apart and check the back in miami, or do i take it to a normal watch store and ask them to do it for me and get the numbers??? i need someone to handle the watch with care, it has been in the family for 33 yrs, and i don't want to leave at any store, unattended. how do i procceed | ||

maybe you can just get me a closeup of the watch and a case diameter. Otherwise I do know of some people in Miami, but unless you're looking to sell it, it probably isn't worth the trouble. | ||
