THE VALUE OF THE LIMITED EDITIONS IN THE LUXURY WATCHMAKING

On March 24th, 2019 the auction of high-end watches took place. A Rolex Double Red Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665A, was sold for $ 106.250. A Rolex P.Newman Daytona Reference 6241.1968 has reached the highest price, $ 275,000. We have noticed that watches of companies less known to the general public, but of prestige, have been very appreciated. A niche production, necessarily in a limited edition, attracts the collector. The Bovet House - founded in 1822 - has a very long history, between Switzerland England and China; it has always produced very particular timepieces. Almost 200 years after its foundation, Bovet today produces wristwatches in limited, extremely complicated editions, with planetary and tourbillons. L'Ottantasei 10 tourbillon disegnato per Pininfarina ha un design moderno ed é altamente tecnologico. It was sold for $ 56.250. A De Bethune watch, DB 28 "Aiguille d'Or" Reference DB28TIS8SLE A, titanium limited edition, around 2011, reached $ 32,500. This Swiss watchmaking company was founded in 2002 and produces technologically very sophisticated wristwatches.
