Why are Patek Philippe fine watches more expensive than Rolex?

because they are entirely hand made and the crystals are ground by hand. there are lots of brands more expensive than rolex.

i am willing to bet that to a person with a lot of lot of money, a Rolex is considered passe. like @trailsillustrated said, there are a lot of brands more expensive than Rolex, and also there are brands that are better quality than Rolex.

but rolexes are really good and last forever and you can beat hell out of them. people still buy them.

not saying people don’t buy them, not saying they’re not good, i’m saying there are better watches if you can afford it.
