Rolexes and PatekPhilippes vs Ferraris and Porsches

Can a watch cost as much as a Ferrari? If the watch is a Rolex Daytona of vintage years then surely the answer is yes.. Infact they can cost millions of dollars. As much as the world is in love with Enzo Ferrari's (1896- 1988 founder of Scudera Ferrari Grand Prix motor racing team)creations there is no denying the elegant simplicity of a Patek Philippe. 



It is possible that either Ferrari or Patek could have brought changes and showcased their creations differently. The very fact they did not do so and continued with tested formulas tells us they knew what they were and are doing.


It has been often described as wearing a Bugati (classic automobile) on your wrist. While others may feel that the comparison is too clinical and devoid of emotion. But the ground reality is not what people think it is and more to what the lineage tells us. The Rolexes and Pateks are becoming better. There is a steady demand for used watches of impeccable DNA and like the automobiles are getting better that they can be classified as great products for everyday use. You can wear a Rolex and a Patek Philippe everyday and feel happy whereas to drive a Porsche or a Ferrari still requires other considerations like an open twisting road for instance. So the answer to the original question is yes a watch can cost as much if not more than a Ferrari. 



That brings us to the underlying question. Like great automobiles that need care and maintenance the same is true for great watches.
