Girard Perregaux

That would be great if it works but I doubt.

 

The aim of the marketing budget is to increase sales. As such, cos aim for recent buyers who are easy to be persuaded to buy again. Whoever has bought smth long time ago or on secondary market (often that would be us - collectors) is usually out of the scope of invitations. May be with a few exceptions - bloggers, opinion leaders, etc, but not collectors.

Another point - I proudly own a few complicated watches from JP. All are limited edition tourbillons made and sold about 20 years ago. These are not daily beaters so they look and function as good as new ones and it is easy to find more watches like that on the market. Unless some potential buyer is absolutely allergic to buying pre-owned I cannot see how JP can sell complicated pieces at 3-4x of what not too different ones trade pre-owned. Have you touched on this question in your conversation?
Thx.
Semyon.
