    You might want to Google the seller's name before writing the check....there are some interesting stories to find.

    I just saw a 5270G available at HQ Milton. Stunning watch for anyone who may be in the market.

    How much more would a 5970p go for?

    For a preowned Patek I would contact David.
    He may not have one in stock but can usually find what you are looking for.
    He is well known in watch circles and is a trusted seller.
    Have done many large dollar deals with him over the years including Pateks.

    My guess is you are looking at high $20s low $30s for one that’s a year or two old, unpolished, full set including Certificate of Authentication. Don’t buy one from any body without those requirements.

    I’d love to get into collecting Patek’s, but it does seem you need to start with a fair bit of money first

    I compared one of my Pateks to a friend's Dufour and the difference was astonishing. It made the Patek feel like a mass produced but well marketed watch. I know it's not (entirely,) but it sure felt that way for a moment.

    And I second DavidSW and would add Takuya http://takuyawatches.com as good sources for high end watches at a discount.

    The problem with Dufour is that its a small market of buyers. You get killed on resale. Not that its all about money but you buy a Patek (the right one) for the most part your money is safe. Same with Rolex. Cant say that about many other brands.
