Investment on Watch

Whilst Real estate is going flat a bit this two months January to March 2019 and over the year had dropped 15% in HK, besides Real estate, do you want to invest in watches?

The fact is, even if a watch is going to appreciate, it’s not going to do so by a huge margin. Compared to property, classic cars, painting, old jades or fine wine they’re just not worth the time it takes to research the subject. Still, there, there is the bonus point that they rarely drop in value.

A good watch shouldn’t really degrade that much. It’s not a Ferrari F40 that may involve high cost on maintenance, after all If you keep it regularly serviced and avoided being hit by a bicycle at night or metalsmith’s hammer!

The problem is that watches, unlike most other investments, they follow trends. They’re high-value mechanical marvels, men’s accessories, but when you boil it all down they’re simply an accessory on the wrist. And while trends are cyclical, you just can’t wait another 30 years for your watch to come back as the Fashioned models. Unless yours is the Vintage Rolex whereby the demand is always there and they are growing!

Up to now, if you still insist on putting your cash on watch investment a try, there are a few ways to go about it.

Try this if you are having a deep pocket; Patek Phillipe Ref 5711/1A or 5712/1A (these two models are selling in the HK market about HK$500,000) Nautilus which is the most sought after NEW Pateks in the market. However if you are not those people who are being “RECOGNIZED” at the Potential owner by Patek General Manager in HK. That you are almost impossible to buy at SRP at Patek Boutique unless you have the patience to wait for 5 years.  Then Try the second Approach, the Rolex Approach.
