A pre-owned luxury timepiece might be just the thing you need to surprise your love, a unique gift they can remember for a lifetime. Valentine's day is just around the corner, it's that time of the year when we all rack our brains for the perfect gift. But perhaps this year you are looking for something more valuable, sustainable than a box of chocolates or a bouquet. If yes, then a pre-owned luxury watch such as Rolex, or Patek Ohilipe can be just the thing you need to make your Valentine's day memorable. So here we are to provide assistance and guidance to support your requirements. Let's read through it in detail and help you understand more about gifting.

For Women

We have noticed a growing trend in women who are interested in larger-style timepieces. For example- Rolex used to make three sizes of watches- gents, medium and ladies. We have seen that women are now tending to bypass the standard ladies' size and are moving towards the medium. So if you are looking for a watch, then something larger in size might be worth considering. 

Style Guide
So think about her style and type of clothes and other jewellery she loves to wear. For example- some ladies love to match everything- earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Others might be a little more eclectic and prefer mixing up with pieces and colour. So basically, women are inclined to colour as well. So think if she loves diamonds and gold or she is a bit more sporty and looks for something more practical. For example- if she is adventurous then Tudor could be a good option as they offer steel and fabric straps that are a good place to start especially when you have a tighter budget.

Gorgeous Pieces

Cartier is a lovely option for women as the company manufactures beautiful cases and bracelets of higher quality. You also cannot go wrong with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Duetto or steel bracelet. 

For the Gentlemen
Lifestyle
Your partner’s lifestyle is basically a good place to start when you are choosing the best watch for him. Some men have a lot of work events that they have to attend, in such cases Patek Philippe Calatrava is a great option. It's traditional and there are different styles and vintage collections available based on your budget requirements.

Complications

Typically, men love timepieces with complications or two. And if you too are looking for complications then you can't beat Patek Philippe. Over the years, the Swiss watchmaker has picked up more than 80 patents and is renowned for its brilliant innovation. Earlier Patek has been awarded a patent for its super complication collection- the Double Chronograph, a watch that includes two separate mechanisms for measurement of different time periods.

Recommendations

You can ask a family friend or anyone close to you for help if you are looking to buy a watch as a surprise gift. However, when you are ready and have decided to buy one below are our recommendations-

• Ask Questions

There are a lot of choices in the pre-owned market so be sure to see the watch you are considering a reliable purchase. A reputable dealer would never mind answering questions so it is always good to ask questions.

• Ongoing cost
  Don’t forget to research the ongoing cost and look for insurance, security and refurbishments. Pre-owned watches can often need repairs and therefore it is wise to service them every 3 to 5 years.
