I would not have any clients, hence no funds for my watch projects.
I have on problem to own several Rolex using the same calibre ( or almost ).
I make a big difference between Rolex and Patek, though.
In terms of complications, finishings, most of all.
There are only two brands with which I have such a severe rule: Patek, and Lange.
For example, as I owned, and will own a Langematik Anniversary, I passed on a watch I love a lot: The Langematik Perpetual, because it shares the same movment ( + module ) than the Anniversary.
Patek claims its excellence. On a 200 K Euros watch, I am a bit disappointed to see that it has, basically, the same movement than on a simple Calatrava.
I expected more than that from Patek.
And don't get me wrong, I am totally in lve with the case and the dial of the Celestial, which is one of the most poetic watch of the market, but also one of the most pragmatic, with its calibre borrowed ( or shared, as you want ) from ( or with ) simpler and much more affordable watches.
I may miss something, but isn't Patek synonym of Luxury?
Isn't a 200 K Euros watch synonym of Luxury?
Pragmatism and economics don't work with Luxury, from my point of view.
Luxury... A word which shouldn't be bandied about, as well as .... Excellence.
Best,
Nicolas.
