In recent years, luxury Replica Watches from Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet have been considered safe investments. However, 2023 and 2024 are characterized by fluctuating market prices – many models saw a drop in price in the first quarter of 2023. The biggest losers include the Royal Oak from Audemars Piguet and the Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut. We have selected five classic watches that are stable in value and are likely to retain their value and, in the best case, even increase it.
1.Rolex Submariner
The Rolex Submariner is undoubtedly an icon among watch models and has been popular with watch lovers for decades (Read more: Rolex Submariner: A portrait of the legendary diving watch). It became famous in 1962 on the wrist of Sean Connery in James Bond – 007 chases Dr. No.
2.Rolex GMT-Master II
The Rolex GMT-Master 1675 is a solid choice when looking for a watch with potential for appreciation (Read more: Rolex GMT Master – “A Pepsi, please!”). The modern version of this classic is the Rolex GMT-Master II, reference 16710. It was produced from 1989 to 2007 and was the last with an aluminum bezel before Rolex introduced the stainless steel reference 116710 with a black Cerachrom bezel.
3.Rolex Datejust
The Rolex Datejust not only offers a relatively affordable way to enter the world of Rolex, but is also suitable for almost any occasion (read more: Rolex Datejust – legend on the wrist), whether for everyday wear or for formal occasions.
Both variants are a great choice and come in a variety of dial colors and configurations. Whichever variant you choose, it’s a comparatively affordable entry into the Rolex watch universe. A wonderful watch investment in 2023, whose popularity will surely increase over time.
4.Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
Whether you prefer the hesalite or sapphire version of the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch collection, both the current and previous references are extremely stable in value (Read more: Omega Speedmaster: Not just for space). If you already own an Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch or are considering buying one, you have reason to rejoice: the legendary chronograph will continue to hold its value in 2023.
5.Cartier Santos
The Cartier Santos is a watch model with a fascinating history closely linked to aviation (Read more: Top 10: The Most Famous Watches in the World). The famous aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont had asked Louis Cartier to develop a watch that he could use during his flights, as he needed both hands to steer.
