Vintage watches: They’re so hot right now.
Sales of second-hand luxury watches will overtake new models within a decade as buyers seek out scarce Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet timepieces, according to a new industry report…Online sales will drive the jump amid a renaissance in interest in luxury timepieces fomented during the pandemic. As demand has boomed, consumers wanting to buy the most popular models from Rolex, Patek and Audemars Piguet have been frustrated by a lack of product and waitlists due to the limited production constraints at the top brands. Some buyers have turned to the secondary market where sellers and dealers charge a premium above retail prices for the most in-demand models. – Bloomberg
