Buying luxury watches is an investment — both for your style and your finances.
Although new watches are nice, vintage watches are the ones that almost dominate the watch sector.
Secondhand watches are also very popular. A 2018 Bain report found the secondhand market to be worth nearly $25 billion, with watches and jewelry making up over 80% of all secondhand market purchases.
And some watches, such as Rolexes and Patek Philippe, have the potential to resell for thousands more than their purchase price.
Business Insider spoke to three watch experts to see which they recommend to those looking to start (or expand) their watch portfolios and they recommended 11 stand-outs. The list includes both new and secondhand watches.
