LUXURY WATCHES

Speculation or Alternative Investment?

In recent years, luxury watches have caught the attention of alternative investors. Iconic models like the Rolex Daytona, Patek Philippe Nautilus, and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak have seen significant appreciation, driven by rising demand, limited supply, and speculative behavior.

The secondary market has fueled a booming resale economy, with certain models trading at double or even triple their retail price. Meanwhile, new digital solutions such as tokenized ownership platforms and fractional investment funds are making access more democratic, yet also more complex.

However, the risks should not be underestimated:

• Inflated valuations driven by hype

• Low liquidity during market corrections

• Macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainties

Our view:

At Klinger Capital, we closely monitor these trends. High-end watches can represent a smart diversification opportunity, but only when approached with due diligence and a long-term perspective.

➡ As with cryptocurrencies and other alternative assets, knowledge and caution remain the real markers of success.
