The prices of the most desired models of Rolex, Patek Philippe e Audemars Piguet continue to rise conspicuously. Their prices are so high that it is almost difficult to invest in these watches: in the face of probable gains, the use of capital is quite high.
However, there are other investment opportunities, always in the watchmaking sector: these are watches that avoid spending more than their price list, but giving excellent prospects of conservation and increase in value.
Not only Rolex: Omega, Zenith and… Bulgari
Omega, Zenith e Bulgari are three companies in the luxury sector that have demonstrated their ability to produce products of a high technical and qualitative level.
In today's watchmaking market, however, making well-made watches is not enough to be successful. It is also necessary to know how to sell them and to know how to manage them, avoiding overproduction - and in this Rolex it succeeds very well - without however creating excessive product shortages.
