## What is Patina AI?

Patina is your AI watch dealer — identify any watch from a photo, check the real market price, verify authenticity, and sell it for what it's worth.

Point your camera at any wristwatch and Patina tells you the exact brand, model, and reference number, and what it's really worth — in seconds. No reference books, no guesswork, no waiting on an appraiser.

IDENTIFY ANY WATCH BY PHOTO
Snap a picture and get brand, model, and reference instantly — from Rolex, Omega, and Seiko to vintage pieces — cross-checked against a deep market database.

KNOW THE REAL PRICE
See live buy and sell ranges built from recent market sales, with condition adjustments, a confidence score, and an interactive price chart. Know your margin before you make a move.

AUTHENTICATE WITH AI
Flag aftermarket parts and inconsistencies so you buy with your eyes open.

TRACK YOUR COLLECTION AND P&L
Log every watch, record what you paid, and watch market value, profit, and ROI update in real time. Search, filter, and organize your whole inventory.

A TIMEGRAPHER IN YOUR POCKET
Measure daily rate (s/day), beat rate, and beat error with just your iPhone to check how a movement is really running — no extra hardware.

ASK ANYTHING
Chat with an AI that knows watches: reference numbers, service history, what to pay, when to sell — straight answers.

SELL SMARTER
List straight to eBay in one tap with AI-written listings and market-backed pricing — or record a private sale and see your true net profit after fees.

FOR COLLECTORS AND DEALERS
Whether you own one grail or flip dozens a month, Patina puts dealer-grade tools in your pocket: identification, pricing, authentication, inventory, and profit tracking in one app.

Your next profitable flip starts with one scan.
