In the world of alternative investments, vintage watches hold a special place, demonstrating impressive growth dynamics. Some models from legendary manufacturers like Patek Philippe and Rolex show returns that outperform even traditional safe-haven assets, including gold. This transforms watch collecting from a hobby into a well-thought-out financial strategy.

The history of Rolex is a story of a relentless pursuit of perfection. Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the company focused from the very beginning on creating precise and reliable wristwatches, which was a revolutionary idea at the time. A key breakthrough was the creation of the world's first waterproof and dustproof Oyster case in 1926, which proved its reliability by crossing the English Channel on the wrist of swimmer Mercedes Gleitze.

The most expensive item in the Pskov antique dealer's collection is a restored gold Swiss watch. It was made 100 years ago, but its mechanism is in perfect condition. The item's value is increased by an individual number on the case. In the shop, such a watch sells for almost 200,000 rubles.
