i was very surprised at the price when i was new to watches.
what made me more surprised than the retail price was the rate of inflation and the period of inflation.
some of my favourite brands (im not sure about all other brands) has been raising the price 2~3times a year.
so as a result, an annual inflation rate of 5~20% for each models(at least in my country)
so what will be the price after 10 years?
maybe almost 5 to 10 times as expensive as Patek perpetual chrono as mentioned above(from $35,000 to $135,000)
it would have been possible to purchase a $35,000 watch 10 years ago.
but now it is almost as impossible to purchase $135,000 watch.
i think... something is wrong
