Luxury watch price in Hong Kong

Price of some luxury watches in Hong Kong

Rolex price is continuously to appreciating in the open market which I could day more or less controlled by dealers. Next Article will cover some of the dealers movement in Hong Kong.

While sales of these wristwatches dipped for a short period of time during the height of the pandemic in 2020, purchases have recently jumped higher. According to the FHS, a Swiss watch industry research group, Swiss watch sales were up 7.6% in July compared to the pre-pandemic baseline of 2019. Sales growth jumped a whopping 48.5% in the U.S. in July compared to 2019 levels, and even 75% in China. This is the best reply why Rolex price is insane high!

Rolex recently had announced that they will try to do the best to increase their production output at three of their factories in Switzerland. Rolex officially said they “Will TRY”….as there are a lot of quality control issue if they want to increase the output. Meaning is that be calm, the price will be still going up!

Patek Philippe

Well, it is getting worse we supply and demand is never been able to be in balance, demand is much higher than supply. An Aquanaut model 5167 used to be 1.6X of SRP $140,000 is now 3X high in the open market.

The Nautilus 5711, and or 5712 they are now lying in the range of 2.5X-2.7X of SRP.

Some special model such as Aquanaut 5968 Green, SPR is $330,000 and only we can buy with $1.3M in the open market!

Thierry Stern had mentioned that they will TRY to increase production output but he added, due to the need for certain skillful watch smith, normally it takes 20 years for bring up more skillful people to increase the volume of production… 20 years!

So this statement will ensure the grey market price of Patek will keep increasing…further at least for 10 years!

There will not be any chance to see the price lowered within the next two years, if there were geographic dispute between big countries, trade war with Switzerland, or war, of Wall Street economy slash or Political Chaos, in these cases. more speculators would dump more cash into this Patek as a security protection, price even would go up further!

Probably looking for something still undervalued today such as Vacheron Constantin as we noticed through all the dealer trading groups, that Vacheron is some of the frequent asked watches now after Rolex, Patek, Audemars… worth your thought now.

As for Richard Mille, there are few different idea, those who are having RM is likely to support emotionally and financially on the watch, those die hard old school watch lovers seems not being moved by the crazy price of RM as they still prefer those classic Luxury brands mentioned above. Others are swingers wo are watching and see if there is a chance buying good priced RM, but never can  at least for the up-coming 1-2 years.
