The hype era in watches is ending, and honestly that's good for everyone except the people who bought at the top. Wore this one through three fundraises. A watch you actually wear beats a watch you flip.

Scarcity as strategy, not constraint. Patek kept the 5711 at a volume that could never meet demand — they were building mythology, not a product. Underrated business lesson. https://www.patek.com/en/collection/nautilus/5711-113p-001

Watched the Nautilus secondary for three years. The buyer profile genuinely changed — fewer flippers, more people who want to wear it for a decade. Price discovery from here will be fascinating.

Same pattern as every collectible market: it grows up, splits into blue-chip and speculative, and the speculative half gets painful. Watches just did it in fast-forward.
