Pocket Watches For Sale

Vintage Swiss watches. Why are some brands 10 times more expensive than others.?

Can anyone list out the hierarchy of vintage Swiss Watches starting from the most expensive ones and going down below . Lets start say ( and free free to rearrange ) :-
Patek Philip
Rolex
LeCoutre
etc
etc
What makes certain Swiss Watches a lot more expensive than others e.g. a West End or Benrus might keep excellent time than a Girard P or LeCoutre that needs to be worked on. So HOW did this stereotype develop .

Even watch experts would rank the watch brands differently so I wouldn't go by that. What makes one vintage watch more valuable than another is the watchmaker, the rarity of that style, the construction materials (how many jewels in the movement etc.), if it was owned by a famous person previously, the paperwork and orig. packaging (if it has it), if it was a cutting edge new technology at the time of manufacture, and least important is the housing (the case, band etc whether gold or with diamonds).

Keep in mind that the watch is the inner works and not the case and band that amateurs are attracted to. It is the inner workings that give vintage watches their value although the value of the case and band do play a small part. Do an internet search for "horology" if you want to know more!! : P
