Box and Papers
The Importance of box and papers
A vintage watch in its box and papers is more sought-after; the box and papers add to the watch’s value. Therefore the price tends to be higher. Still, what’s most important is the watch itself. Please don’t buy a watch simply because it has its box and papers; be sure that a pre-owned watch carries the value it deserves with or without the box and papers. Regardless, our watches that come with their box and papers are gift-ready with “the box (the original box) and “the papers,” which are documents that reference the product, including model, serial numbers, and sometimes, purchase information.
