Not so with PM Rolex.
All my AD purchased PM Rolexes would net me a profit if sold today. It's just a question of buying ANY watch at the right price.

Some of the most expensive Patek watches ever sold are steel like the (most expensive wristwatch) 5016a or 1591.

I buy stainless steel watches because I have no money for precious metals...I then proceed to making myself believe they're white gold or platinum before crying myself to sleep.

It's cheaper to buy and draw less attraction. Some models only available with dial colors or bezel colors that look nicer than their counterpart gold models
