Incoming. Most undervalued watches currently?

Picked this beautiful Blancpain perpetual calendar up.
I really think these are the most underrated watches in the world right now- a precious metal perpetual calendar at 38mm and 10mm thick for less than £12k.
I spoke to the Blancpain boutique in London today and they said they have one of these still and it currently retails for £46k which is madness.

Tudor always comes to mind, especially when compared against omega for similar models.

I think a Cartier santos compares favorably to a Rolex datejust

Preowned zenith for sure

Some indies getting crushed right now. A czapek integrated for teens compared to 25k new seems like value to me

Breguet !!
But I agree that Blancpain is indeed a great piece and definitely worth considering

I agree. They make fantastic watches that can be had at incredible prices in the secondary market.
That's a real beauty! Congratulations!

Laurent Ferrier on the used market if movement finishing is high on your list and you like the look. Breguet high end pieces.

PF on secondary market also exceptionally good value. Tonda Pandas and Tonda PF Chrono both amazing buys right now.

Thanks. It's a Delugs 'army green' saffino leather. I thought it might be a bit out there, but it looks great!

It's the Quantieme Perpetual 6057-3642-55. They are no longer in production, but they are still being retailed currently at £46k.

What I love is that there are no pushers on the case. They have under the lugs 'buttons' that are the adjusters that you can push with your fingers. So easy to adjust on the fly, hidden from view and no tool necessary. And also a 100h power reserve, which is great imo

Agreed that it is one of the best value watches out there. Time is (or has) coming for true watch enthusiasts and collectors! Time to add a watch box?

That’s a lot of watch for the money- good size and I do find perpetual calendars fascinating - nice pick-up.

Based on your other posts, we do share similar tastes but I’m not convinced by the strap colour this time!
