400k is cheap! 😂. Lol

my AD just sold two watches to two young guys for 1.2 and 1.5 million each. Flew them to New York for the delivery.

I saw that article when it was 1st published back in 2014. Indeed, fast forward 4 years and prices have gone from $400K to $1.5M. What a trajectory.

The irony here is hilarious.

In in so many ways, Patek and Ferrari are sort of cut from the same cloth when it comes to manipulating market prices for their goods. It’s pretty much an open secret that Patek will attend auctions just to bid, and buy, their own timepieces. It’s pretty genius actually.

Successful companies try to create exclusivity with the perception of scarcity.

Patek is also owes some success to their marketing team
