Pateks are haute horologie; Rolex sport models more purposeful and a much better match for a Porsche GT car. Save the Patek for a ride in the back seat of a limo.

If I had to categorize watch brands with car brands, here would be my take:

Patek Philippe = Ferrari
Audemars Piguet = Lamborghini
Rolex = Porsche
Richard Mille = Koenigsegg
Hublot = Mclaren
Omega = Mercedes Benz
Seiko = Toyota

I think that is pretty spot on but not sure I agree with the Mclaren Hublot example- but then again- upstart watch company that ruffles feathers- yeah- im on board with this.

I think a better analogy would be McLaren = Richard Mille.

High end, high tech materials and mechanics. Ugly depreciation curve. And lots of teething issues to work out (literally in terms of RM).

ECLIPSE "MERCEDES-BENZ AMG" WATCH

My Favorite Watch is my Eclipse "Mercedes-Benz AMG" Watch. It uses a larger Battery that lasts longer than my Breitling,
is more accurate than my Rolex, costs far less to service or fix than either of them, and can be replaced for $9.95 at Walmart.

Koenigsegg could be FP Journe.

Maybe Pateks of the past but the newer aquanauts are very sporty. They wear extremely well!

Hold on to that beauty.

It's a classic.

In a few years, it'll be the hottest item at Sotheby's and Anitquorum.
