How do you think future generations will look back on Artisans de Genève?

Q&A Tuesday with Roman Sharf

Sep 21 2021 • 8 mins

On this episode of Q&A Tuesday I answer the following questions:

⚙️  I've been really impressed with the latest AP Code 11.59 two tone chronographs with the ceramic case.  I think the contrast really highlights the design of the 11.59 line.  I tried on the WG model at the AP House boutique in HK and then put my name on the list.  They didn't say how long the wait is, but I assume it should be a reasonable time.  I remember in your Q&A episode 89 you mentioned you were buying 11.59s at around 25% off and then selling them at 18-20% discount off retail, but this was over a year ago.  The retail in HK for the ceramic is HKD 332K, which is about $43K US.  Is it possible to get this watch for a discount? Or should I just be happy paying retail for one of the newest models? ED

⚙️  As a stock trader I’m curious which currently produced watches (i.e. you could hypothetically buy from an AD at retail) trade the most above their retail price on a % basis?  As a $ amount?  I’d imagine the AP Royal Oak Jumbo and Patek Nautilus are up there, that’s not even too mention Richard Mille.  – Brian

⚙️ How do think future generations will look back on the creations of Artisans de Genève, will they retain their value and what makes them different from other watch “customizers”? - Collin

⚙️  Where do you see the Rolex Milgauss Z Blue in the next 5 years? Increase in value, unchanged, possibly discontinued? Chris
