MODEL AVAILABILITY

All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity and, at times, the demand for Rolex watches outpaces this capacity.

Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Jewelers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.

Ben Bridge Jeweler is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Jewelers and can provide information on the availability of Rolex watches

Light and robust, the new Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium is the ally of those seeking freedom of movement. Especially suited to the demands and pressures of competitive sailing, it puts watchmaking excellence at the service of sporting performance.   The Yacht-Master 42 is the second watch in RLX titanium released by Rolex after the Oyster Perpetual Deepsea Challenge, confirming that lightness is a quality to be taken seriously..

Pre-Owned Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

Rumoured to be a replacement for the Submariner that was considered too dramatic a change right at the last minute, the Yacht-Master was designed to be a more elegant imagining of the classic diver's watch. The sculpted cases and sparkling dials are the perfect combination for a summer trip to the Mediterranean.

What Is A Luxury Watch?

There really is no universal concrete definition for what qualifies as a luxury watch, and one person's definition may differ from another. Prices for watches can range from several hundred dollars to well into the millions for rare and vintage pieces, and you will find pieces crafted out of everything from aluminum to solid platinum. However, regardless of the specific brand, style, materials, or price point, virtually every high-end piece offers precision that is crafted to incredibly high standards, and are constructed using only the finest materials available on earth.

While most physical possessions in our modern lives are either disposable in their nature or have some form of planned obsolescence, the function of a wristwatch has not changed over the years, and one built over a hundred years ago still performs the same basic function as a watch built today. Furthermore, a true luxury watch is a high-quality item that - if properly maintained - will last multiple lifetimes. These desirable collectors pieces are often considered to be heirloom pieces, and they will get passed down from one generation to the next, faithfully serving members of a family for multiple generations and acquiring memories in the process.

The type of timepiece a person chooses to wear can sometimes tell you a lot about them, and may individuals use watches as a way to express their individual personalities or aesthetic preferences. Timepieces can come in all different shapes and forms, including everything from chunky and purpose-built tool watches to elegant and refined dress watches. In truth, the "luxury" designation has less to do with the actual design and materials of the watch, and more to do with how the particular watch is made, and the attention to detail that is present throughout the entire process. While it may seem counterintuitive to those that are not watch enthusiasts, some of the most famous and expensive timepieces in the world are crafted from humble stainless steel and lack any sort of additional premium features or complications.

Combining elements of art, engineering, tradition, material science, and expert craftsmanship, luxury watches are often regarded as universally recognized status symbols, conveying messages of success and personal accomplishment. Regardless of whether you opt for a classic and straightforward model in humble stainless steel, or an ultra-exclusive reference featuring multiple complications and a solid gold case set with diamonds, a true example will be an expertly crafted timepiece that is designed to serve you and future generations for many years to come.

Why You Should Buy A Luxury Watch

By their very definition, no luxury watch can ever be considered cheap. However, there are certainly some models and brands out there that are more expensive than others. With prices ranging from less than one thousand dollars to well over the eight-figure mark, these models can come in all shapes, forms, and sizes, and many of the more expensive options can qualify as serious life purchases. So, why should you buy one?

A Gift For The Next Generation

For starters, when you buy a luxury watch, you are not just buying a gift for yourself. As long as you don't lose the watch or somehow subject it to an extreme circumstance in which it becomes irreparably damaged, there is a good chance that your luxury watch will outlast you. Given that they feature the best materials available and are both designed and assembled by experts in their respective fields, luxury watches are simply built to stand the test of time. As long as you properly maintain your timepiece and have it serviced on a regular basis, it will provide many years of reliable and stable performance.

Countless cultures around the world have stories about watches that previously belonged to parents or grandparents, and it is often these timepieces that hold the most significant sentimental value. Watches are items that people wear for many years, and they often spend a considerable amount of time in direct contact with their owners' bodies and are present for many of their major life events. Arguably more than any other physical possessions that we surround ourselves with in our daily lives, it is watches that are often the items that most connect us to the ones that are close to our hearts.

For many, a fine timepiece represents an heirloom piece that will be passed down from one generation to the next. With that in mind, since the core function of a watch will always remain the same, it will never become truly outdated. As long as it is kept in proper running condition, it will always be ready for another lifetime of service when the time comes for you to pass it along to the next generation.

Luxury Watches As Investments

Another one of the main reasons why people choose to purchase is because of how they can serve as investments and retain value over the years (or even appreciate), despite receiving daily wear and use. Nearly all of the items we buy in our modern lives immediately start losing value the second that we purchase them. However, it is not uncommon to come across nice examples - especially from top brands like Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe - that are worth as much and sometimes even exponentially more than their original purchase prices.

Knowing that the model you buy today will always be worth something in the future is a serious plus when buyers are considering spending significant sums of money on a wristwatch. Due to this ability to retain value, many collectors like to think of their timepieces as investments - almost like small, wearable savings accounts that they can keep on their wrist and liquidate, should circumstances ever call for it.

Additionally, for the avid watch collector that is continuously refining and changing up their collection, the investment potential of luxury watches makes it easy to sell old or unwanted timepieces to make room for the next must-have acquisition. You may not always make a profit selling a watch that you no longer want or need; however, you will always be able to at least get out of it for a minimal loss should you ultimately decide you want something different later down the road.

Luxury Watch Prices Dropping – Everything you Need to Know

Starting from around February and March of 2022, we started to see declines, to even faster drops in the prices of certain luxury watches on the secondhand market. And it’s important to say certain because the majority of watches on the secondhand market remain virtually unaffected or have dropped only minimally, whilst other models have dropped more substantial amounts.

So why are luxury watch prices dropping? And how much are the prices of luxury watches dropping? Let’s get to the bottom of everything you need to know.

Some luxury watch brands have dropped in value more than others

Some luxury watches dropped as much as 15-30% of their value from the peak, which in hindsight can be said was right around January-February of 2022. This is when the watch market was soaring and the prices for the most sought-after luxury watches continued to increase in value, often by substantial amounts week-after-week, and had done so for at least the last 6 months, albeit with more reasonable price increases prior to this. 

It’s important to have a broader perspective than just a few months when we talk about assets and their values. Luxury watches, in general, were increasing more than they had ever done before in an unreasonably short period of time. This of course cannot be said for all watches but in particular from the most sought-after brands, and specifically the most sought-after models. But to some extent, the “hype” was contagious and affected the prices of other brands and models as well, although to different extents. The brands that increased the most in value were Patek Philippe , Audemars Piguet , Rolex , and Vacheron Constantin , followed by other brands such as F.P. Journe , Richard Mille , Cartier , and others.

Why are luxury watch prices dropping?

Naturally, there are many factors that ultimately led to the price of some luxury watches losing much of their value, some more than others.

A common saying is that Everything that goes up must come down, and although luxury watches are viewed as some of the most stable and safest investments there are, they are not immune to declines. At the same time, declines in the value of luxury watches have been rare in the last couple of years. From a broader perspective, it seems as if luxury watches can only go up in price. But of course, anyone who understands fundamental economic theories knows that cannot be true.

Global factors also affect the watch market

The watch market is certainly not immune to external market factors. The watch market is, like all other markets, affected by the financial market and its state.

Ultimately, the global economy will always affect consumer goods. This is particularly true for goods that are non-necessities such as jewelry and watches. And entering 2022, the bull market is considered to be coming to an end and we are now moving into a bear market . Furthermore, a number of economic decisions and events that affect the global economy take place, and are planned to take place moving forward. One of the most critical components of this is naturally the interest rates that are planned by the Federal Reserve as well as most central banks around the world.

Economic fear of a recession

The most important cause for the watch market decline ultimately has to do with fear. Everything is pointing towards the fact that we are moving towards an economic downturn. Some suggest a recession, but only time will tell. With that said, we have an uncertain future ahead. And every time this happens, people tend to become more reserved and careful with their spending. They tend to delay big financial decisions and think twice before they make a high-value purchase, like a luxury watch.

When enough people think this way, it will ultimately lead to fewer customers. And according to the basic market principles, when the demand decreases, so must the prices. Prior to the watch price drop, the demand was surging and people were buying watches left to right. The demand and willingness to buy watches still exist, but more and more people ultimately delay their purchases to see if the prices will decrease further, or just wait and see what happens to the economy as a whole.

Inflation is a big deal and has been a hot topic at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2021. Inflation remains high during the first and second quarters of 2022 and when inflation is high, it negatively affects people’s ability to consume. Every day items become more expensive and people get less money left after all necessary expenses have been taken care of such as food, housing, etc. When inflation increases, all of these basic necessities become more expensive and therefore, people have less money to spend on things they want but do not necessarily need, like watches or other luxury items.

Unstable economy

An uncertain future is a great threat to the economy. The stock market is often looked at in terms of fear vs greed, and it’s safe to say that in 2022, we are in a fear-driven economy. As discussed earlier, this tends to make people more careful and reserved in regard to their spending. And therefore, people will often delay big financial decisions like buying a house or, in this case, an expensive luxury watch.

• The war in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine is another driving factor that increases uncertainty and contributes to a more unstable economy and world. And ultimately, this spills over to the watch industry.

The fact is that the war is not only tied to Ukraine or Russia. It is affecting everyone globally to a smaller or larger extent. In Europe, households see rising costs of gas and food as a result of the halted gas export from Russia as well as the difficulty of exporting grain from Ukraine. 

Moreover, with increased tension in the world also comes a greater uncertainty which negatively affects the global economy.

Watch market price drop summarized

Summarized, we can say that there are numerous factors that come together to make the watch market prices decline. Not only for watches but for many other industries as well, including the housing market. These factors can be summarized with:

• Increased Covid-19 Restrictions and lockdowns in China (Asia is a huge market for luxury watch sales, including the secondhand market)
• Rising inflation
• Increased interest rates and planned future interest rates
• Uncertainty in the global economy
• Big declines in the stock market (goes hand-in-hand with the watch market) but ultimately, it will make people feel “poorer” and thus consume less
• Fear of recession

The market will (almost) always correct unreasonable price increases

Looking at it from a broader perspective, the watch market can be compared with the stock market.

Following the stock market “crash” after Covid-19, the stock market quickly rose and shot through the roof. At times, it seemed as if the stock market could promise eternal growth. But at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, things started to turn the other way and we saw rapid declines in the stock market, naturally affected by numerous factors. Two of which were increased interest rates as well as growing inflation.

Anyone will be able to draw the conclusion that the rapid, almost skyrocketing prices of watches, as we saw in 2021 are not sustainable. If the watches would continue with the same trend of rapid growth, we would see essentially doubled prices of already high prices in 2023. But eventually, after such rapid value increases, there just aren’t any buyers left.

Now, only the market can decide what is “unreasonable” and what is “reasonable”. But what we can say is that the rapid price increase on watches in 2021 and the beginning of 2022 has not been reasonable. Therefore, all assets and items that increase that much and that rapidly have a great risk of eventually going down in value. And that is exactly what has now happened.

Are watches still great investments?

Yes, we would definitely say so. The “issue” is that the watch market has not had a major dip for a long time, which has caused people to believe that luxury watches can never go down in value. But like all assets, they certainly can, which has been proven following the 2022 decrease in watch prices.

But investments need to be looked at from a longer perspective than just one or two years. The stock market, in comparison, has its ups and downs, but if you look at it from a 10 or even 20-year perspective, the trend is still upwards. The same can be said about the luxury watch market . If you draw a straight line in watch prices and ignore the lows and highs, you’ll get a more reasonable trend of how the value trend for luxury watches should be in a sound and stable market. In other words, stable, reasonable, and consistent value increases without any dramatic spikes. The exact same is applicable to the stock market.

The price drop of luxury watches has not affected all watches equally

The watches that have seen the largest declines in value are the watches that have also increased the most from after the Covid-crash up until the watch market crash. Interestingly, a similar parallel can be drawn to the stock market. Those stocks that have gone up the most in the shortest time also tend to be the ones that fall the most. After all, they have the most drop height. Moreover, when some stocks tend to sore without any real news or positive financial reports, their valuation goes from logical to purely emotional, to fear of missing out, and speculation. When you go from a logical and financial valuation to speculation, that’s also when it can get dangerous quickly.

Because the major dips in the values of luxury watches can only be attributed to (relatively speaking) just a few models, it would be incorrect to call it a crash. Using the term “correct” or “dip” would therefore be better suitable.

As mentioned, the most dramatic price drops in luxury watches have happened to the most “hyped” watches with the most “inflated” prices. Or at the very least, for the watches that have increased dramatically in price in the year prior to the “dip”. The watches that dropped the most are:

• Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks
• Patek Philippe Nautilus
• Patek Philippe Aquanaut
• Rolex Daytona
• Rolex Day-Date
• Rolex GMT-Master II (in particular in gold)

Generally speaking, the price drop has affected modern watches much more than it has vintage ones. When we are talking about watches that are still in production, that makes sense. Ultimately, there will be more and more of these watches as the production continues. But for vintage watches, there will never be more of these watches made. As such, they will only get rarer and rarer. On the same token, vintage watches have, in general, not increased as much in value as more modern timepieces, although there are some exceptions.

And it’s also important to distinguish between price increases and skyrocketing price increases because it’s obviously more sustainable in the long-term for minor, stable value increases than rapid skyrocketing prices.

For some perspective, let’s look at a few models that didn’t increase in value a lot during the craziest price increases, and their prices after the “crash”.

The Tudor Black Bay 58 79030 is a good example of this. Prior to the most dramatic price increases in 2021, the Tudor 58 was selling for around retail price (usually slightly more, but not substantial). In 2022, after the most dramatic decline in price, the watch was selling for essentially the same as it did in 2020 and in 2021. In other words, because the watch didn’t really have a “hype” premium” or a dramatic price increase, the market deemed its price correct. As a result, its value did not crash.

The same can, as a matter of fact, be said about most luxury watches on the market where this is applicable.

These watches are all selling for roughly the same as they were prior to the drop in price. In other words, they’re essentially unaffected. Now, that doesn’t mean that it is impossible that they will decrease in the future, but it means that they are more resistant to rapid price decreases than those whose prices are driven to a large extent by hype and speculation. 

In addition, not all watches have declined in value. Some watches have actually increased in value during this time, such as the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 124300 coral red, yellow, or “ tiffany ” following the announcement that they were discontinued in April. As such, some have increased in value, some have decreased slightly or dramatically, but most have actually remained essentially the same.

The Audemars Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 is one of the most sought-after Patek Philippe watches that the brand makes. It is also one of the watches that has been most affected by the price decline, as you can see in the graph below. From its peak at around €216.000 in February, it went to €176.900 in June which is a rather quite rapid decline in value of almost 20%.

A similar trend can be seen in another of the most hyped watches, the Rolex Platinum Daytona 116506. This is another watch that also saw a rapid decline in value following February 2021. The price for a non-baguette dial version went from around €204.000 at its peak in March to €117.500 in June 2022, representing roughly a 42% decline!

For some perspective, we can take a look at a less hyped watch, the Tudor 58 79030N, as discussed earlier. As you can see in this graph, this watch is virtually unaffected by the price decline of the most hyped watches. And the reason can only be attributed to the fact that it never had a rapid price increase and did not have “hype” that inflated its price:

The bottom line is that it is crucial to understand that the price drop has primarily affected the most hyped watches that have increased the most in value during 2020 and 2021. And the watches that have increased the most during this time seem to be the watches that have taken the biggest hit (surprise!). Different watches have been affected differently. Some have dropped in value as much as 30 or in some cases, even 40%, whilst others have only been affected marginally, if at all.

Has the luxury watch market crashed completely?

No, absolutely not. The luxury watch market is stronger than ever and the demand is continuing to be extremely high. All the sought-after models still have year-long waiting lists from the official retailers and still command great premiums on the secondhand market. Yes, the demand for luxury watches will decrease in the case of an economic downturn, but the demand is still far greater than the supply for the most sought-after watches and that will be the case for a long time ahead, recession or not.

With that said, the most hyped watches are still selling at a hefty premium over the retail price, even after the price decline. And most likely, they will also continue to do so for a long time due to their scarce availability.

And as mentioned, the value decreases we have seen on some luxury watches apply to only a small portion of all the models and watch brands within the luxury watch market. As discussed, the watches that haven’t increased dramatically in price have not decreased anything, or only by very little in price.

And these watches stand for the majority of all the watches in the luxury watch market. So when people scream in fear and say that the watch market has completely crashed, it is just not true.

Looking at the watch price decline from a larger perspective

At most, some watches have declined 15 to 30% in value after the price decline. On some occasions, the values have decreased by 35-40%. 

And yes, that is a lot for any price decline, be it stocks or watches. But if we zoom out and have some perspective, we can conclude that the watches that have dropped the most in value are essentially back where they were 6-12 months ago. Yes, if you bought a watch at the very peak, it can feel frustrating to know that your watch is now worth considerably less than you paid for it. But there’s nothing that says that it cannot go back to the value it once was. In fact, everything suggests that watches will continue to increase in value like they always have done historically. But the reasonable thing would be if they increase at a slower, less dramatic pace as they did in 2021 and the beginning of 2022.

If you see it from this perspective that only about 6 months of price increases have been wiped out for some models, it doesn’t sound that serious at all. And that is because it is not. The luxury watches are still up in value considerably if we look at it from a 12-month perspective. And from a financial and investment standpoint, 12 months is actually not that long at all. One could say that the decline is just a correction of a previously unsustainable price increase. It’s just that few people complain about it when something goes up in value. More people complain about it when they go down in value and they lose money.

The only watch I desire is the very rare AP Royal Oak with the salmon dial and leather strap from the 1990’s. It’s beautiful and understated and amazing. Cannot find one.

That is indeed a very stunning watch!

The art of command

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II in Oystersteel with an Oyster bracelet and a bidirectional rotatable bezel with a blue Cerachrom insert .

Ring command bezel, a synchronized countdown.

Rolex achieved perfection when it turned its attention to redefining the purpose and functionality of the bezel. Typically, a bezel operates independently from the internal mechanism; however, the Ring Command bezel in the Yacht-Master II regatta chronograph operates in conjunction with it.

As a mechanical component linked to the movement, the bezel literally acts as the key to the programmable countdown, allowing it to be set and synchronised to the sequence of race start times. Complex in design, but simple in use, it is functionally beautiful.

A characteristic aesthetic

The Yacht-Master II is equipped with a new dial, and new hands that are characteristic of Rolex Professional models, enhancing legibility and sharpening its aesthetic appeal. The dial now features a triangular hour marker at 12 o’clock and a rectangular hour marker at 6 o’clock for more intuitive reading of the watch.

A luminescent disc on the hour hand clearly distinguishes it from the minute hand. The Yacht-Master II’s countdown can be programmed for a duration of between 1 and 10 minutes. The programming is memorized by the mechanism so that at a reset it returns to the previous setting. Once launched, the countdown can be synchronized on the fly to match the official race countdown.

Oystersteel

Highly resistant to corrosion

Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential.

Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

The Oyster bracelet

Alchemy of form and function.

The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex.

This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.
