Condition is the only non-market variable that determines asset liquidity. Here are our forensic-grade maintenance recommendations.
At the Lux Resale Zurich Vault, we maintain a constant temperature of 18°C. For Rolex or Patek Philippe watches not worn for long periods, the movement's internal lubricant can dry out. We recommend running them for 24 hours every 3 months after manual winding to maintain lubricant distribution across the gear train.
Hermès Togo or alligator leather is extremely sensitive to humidity. Humidity below 40% can cause irreversible cracking of leather fibers, while levels above 60% risk mold growth. We recommend using professional climate-controlled cabinets and avoiding any chemical treatments not recommended by the original manufacturer.
Ensure you preserve the original warranty cards, tags, manuals, and boxes. Lux Resale data shows that items with a complete "Full Set" command a premium of 12% - 18% higher than those missing accessories.
Our authenticators can provide a complete "Health Audit Report" for your private collection.
