Need Advice on a Trade
Hello,
I know this forum may be biased towards Blancpain, but I am also a huge Blancpain enthusiast and wanted to get some thoughts around a trade that I am struggling with. I've always wanted a Patek in my collection, and I recently worked out a deal which would require me to trade in 4 of my watches, including the very rare Blancpain "12C30" Bathyscaphe. I will be getting a pre-owned 2015 Patek Calatrava 5227G-001 in return. I am having a tough time parting ways with the Bathyscaphe because (a) it's a beautiful watch; and (b) the version I have is rare and I do no think second market dealers know the exclusiveness of the 12C30.
I would really appreciate some advice from the group. Thanks.
Anthony

If 12C30 is the first version ceramized titanium bathyscaph, like Henrik said, keep it
Ceramized titanium is very rare. I think only around 50 pieces got out from the factory. I never have the chance to see in person, the Matt finishing & colour are very nice even from pictures online. IMO, the PP model you mentioned in your post is very di...
Thank you all
Yes, it is the ceramicised titanium version. Based on the feedback, I will keep the 4 and to purchase the Patek down the road. Thanks again for the wonderful advice.
