Platinum Watches: A League of Their Own
Living at the peak of exclusivity and sophisticated discretion, the rare nature of platinum watches offers a certain sense of distinction. Oftentimes, platinum watches are not seen as obvious symbols of wealth like a yellow gold or diamond watch may be perceived. However these timepieces are often quite sought after by discerning collectors, as the stealth metal is often reserved for the most exclusive and complicated timepieces, contributing to the remarkable demand and value within the secondary market. . Among the array of complicated platinum watches found within WatchBox’s global inventory is the IWC Grande Complication Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition—a prime example of an extraordinary series of complications housed in a platinum case. Explore our selection of platinum watches from luxury brands likeA. Lange & Sohne, IWC, and Vacheron Constantin.
