How does something end up so stupidly overpriced on brand name alone? Even if it somehow took 100 man hours to make and used extremely expensive materials, it at most should come to maybe a fifth of that amount. From an aesthetic view, it actually looks pretty good. Conceptualizing, R&D, testing, paying the best watchmakers in the world to work on it, materials, infrastructure, etc. Patek Philippe is by no means a bargain, I mean, in the end, it's just a watch. But it wlll never feel like a flat out rip off compared to brands like Hublot and Richard Mille. There are Hublots that on a quality level feel like a $1500 watch and it's being sold for 15'000. Same with Richard Mille, there are RM's that feel like a 30'000 watch, but sell for 1.5 million. It's absolute bananas, and the watch is hideous as well. At least with Patek you get the best of the best in the industry and you're being blatantly lied to / ripped off like with certain other brands. Resale value is a testament to that. <cite>winged_weltall posted [p:963517205] in I bought a...
