Our revolutionary app is a gateway to a diverse array of luxury assets, making luxury investments accessible and meaningful for all."
Key findings from the report reveal intriguing insights for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios. For instance, luxury handbags have emerged as a promising investment trend, driven by increasing demand and limited editions. Furthermore, high-quality luxury watches, particularly from brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe, offer substantial returns and have outperformed the S&P 500's yearly growth.
The prices for Hermès Bags on the secondary market follow the price increases determined by Hermès.
In recent times, Hermès has been raising its prices on average by 1.5 to 2% each year in line with inflation. The 2023 Hermès price increases skewed toward the upper end of the 5-10% range we were told to expect. The Diamond Himalaya is infamous for being the most expensive handbag ever sold at auction. In 2022, Sotheby's sold the 30cm bag for over $450,000 USD. The Birkin’s estimated retail price was $300,000 USD. This corresponds to a price increase of 50% in just a few years.
The never-ending price increases for luxury watches pave the way for promising returns on the secondary market.
Leading brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet consistently raise base prices, empowering secondary markets. This drives up older or discontinued models' values within a watch family. A Morgan Stanley report discussed by WatchBox has prompted consideration of the secondary watch market's future. Rolex's surging demand led to scarcity, favouring established client relationships. Standard Rolex models now trade 23.7% above retail on average, sparking sustainability concerns.
