Increase in Bitcoin Price and Luxury Watch Market
The latest data analysis from Bloomberg reveals a significant stability in the luxury watch market coinciding with a resurgence in Bitcoin prices. This stability is particularly evident in the prices of high-end watches such as second-hand Rolex and Patek Philippe, signaling a potential turning point after a prolonged two-year decline.
The Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, a reliable measure of watch prices, has observed a slight decline, indicating a potential halt in the market’s downward trend. This stability can be attributed to several factors, including the strong performance of the stock market and the resurgence of Bitcoin. Additionally, the upcoming Watches and Wonders event in April, where Rolex and Patek Philippe are expected to unveil new models, has created anticipation among investors and enthusiasts.
The recent surge in Bitcoin value, which has doubled since October, has resonated across the luxury watch market, significantly impacting investor sentiment. When combined with low borrowing costs, this increase has instilled confidence in the market and generated vitality in luxury watch prices.
Notably, price increases have been observed in specific models such as the Rolex GMT ‘Pepsi’, characterized by its red and blue ceramic bezel, which saw an approximately 1.9% price increase. Market analysts are closely monitoring the expected market response to the new watch releases planned for the Watches and Wonders event, as these releases are expected to have a significant impact on prices.
