Will the Rolex and Patek Philippe bubble ever pop? As of today's date (4/25/2019), Patek Philippe and Rolex stainless steel sports watches are selling in the secondary market for incomprehensible premiums. Are the prices of Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet ever going to slow down?
On today's episode of the Trading Desk, Jason and Josh evaluate the secondary market prices we're seeing for certain models from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and F.P. Journe. The prices were seeing are well above retail, and the issue of getting new models at retail from your AD is near impossible. The craziest part? We're talking stainless steel sports watches! Not precious metal, dress watches. Sports watches...
More specifically, they'll be analyzing the Rolex Daytona (116520), Patek Philippe Aquanaut (5167a), Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph (5980/1a-001), Patek Philippe Nautilus (5711/1a-010), Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (15400st), Omega Speedmaster Snoopy Moonwatch (311.32.42.30.04.003), and the F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu.

What's going on with Audemars Piguet? After a controversial showing at SIHH 2019 with the Code 11.59, the brand behind the Royal Oak has seen a down-tick on the pre-owned market as of late. Watch Traders Jason Mane and Josh Thanos are here to explain why.
For "This or That" this week, Josh is sticking up for AP with the Royal Oak Offshore Diver Black Mega Tapisserie Dial (Ref. 15703ST.OO.A002CA.01) and Jason is pitting it up against the Rolex Submariner "Hulk" (Ref. 116610LV).
