Wristler Recap: April 2026

Overall trends in April 2026

We’ve seen a huge increase in sales when it comes to Cartier, and now we get why: Cartier is increasing their prices again on the 21st of May, so all of you already got that message to order one before the price increase. Congrats! Another trend we’ve seen in April is the craziness from Watches&Wonders of course. The same day, we already got requests from multiple customers that they’re eyeing for the new Rolex collections. But, it will take a while before these appear on the grey market. Another thing worth mentioning is the amount of GMT-Master II Pepsi’s we’ve sold. Absolutely crazy.

Our Top-5 of April

As you know, we’re putting together a list of our favorite watches sold, or favorite stories behind the watches sold. We’ve sold so many watches in April that we’ve reached a new milestone for our company, which we’re incredibly grateful for. Let’s dive into our top-5 watches from April!

Nautilus 5712: the grail

To kick-off our top-5 from last month, we’re very grateful to tell you guys we’ve sold a 5712: the awesome Patek Philippe Nautilus, in mint condition, unpolished. This collectors piece was picked up by a customer from Miami, a young entrepreneur who was eyeing for his ultimate grail piece. Being well under 25 years old, but already achieving this huge milestone. Congrats, Mr. A!

Aquanaut 5164R: another grail

It didn’t stop with the Nautilus in April, since we had another Patek Philippe Aquanaut for a new customer from Germany: the rose gold 5164R, which really is something unique. This watch is so comfortable, classy and sporty at the same time. So we totally get why you’d pick this piece. A huge congrats to you, Mr. B!

Rolex Platona

Yes, the list continues with absolute bangers. Back in the days, we could only dream of selling these pieces online through our marketplace, and now, 4.5 years later, we’ve gained so much trust that people are eyeing for pieces like this. Wow. A new customer from Germany reached out for an unworn Platona: the platinum Daytona with the ice blue dial. The non-baguette spec, so it’s clean and versatile. Thanks for your trust, Mr. M!

Welcome, Hong Kong!

So, as mentioned in the introduction, usually we do business within the EU. But, last month we’ve sold the Nautilus to a customer from Miami, and we sold this perfectly clean vintage Cartier Santos to a new customer from Hong Kong. We never sold a watch to HK before, but we’re forever grateful for the trust. Thanks, GP!

Vintage Favorite

You might know by now that I’m a true vintage enthusiast. When it comes to cars, but also watches. So, I was really happy that we’ve sold this truly amazing vintage Rolex, being an Oyster Perpetual Bubble Back, in two-tone, worn on a leather strap. I really need to buy one as well. Congrats to you, Mr. D! Wear in in good health under the French sun.

Final Words for April

As mentioned earlier, we never would’ve dreamed that you guys would put so much trust in us. And we’re just getting started. We know, we’ve been building for 4.5 years already, and your feedback really helps us to improve on a daily basis. Forever grateful for all of you!
