Your financial situation would have to be 30x that to comfortably afford the watch. 25 mil. In which case it’s nobody’s business but yours. I would buy it, if your totally in love with it. And then donate 500k to charity , so you can sleep at night. lol 😂.
We all have our priorities I guess.
Would you pay $817,000 USD for a watch? That is the price of a very nice house in my part of the country, a small fleet of cars, plenty of vacations/cruises, a vacation home and many more things. We all have different means and priorities on this forum, s...
Not me, I wouldn't do it even if I could afford it
There are plenty good watches out there you could buy for a fraction of that.
No. But who am I to judge?
I've never even paid 1/10th of that amount for a watch... but I have paid 1/20th of that amount, and 1/20th of $817,000 is a TOTALLY unreasonable amount of money to pay for a wristwatch. No sane person would spend that. So, not being a sane person, I'm in...
ABSOLUTELY
Much to what Nico said, its all relative. Had you asked the 20 year old me (when I first got into watches) if I would ever have the means, or the gall to buy a $20,000 plus I would have thought no way. I probably have no business spending $20k on a watch ...
I would if I loved the watch and I could afford it
It's all about your financial level and your own interpretation of affordability.
If I'm worth hundreds of millions, I'd consider it...
There are many people on here who say they wouldn't spend $817,000 on a single watch. However, many of those individuals might have collections that total over $817,000 in value. Is there a difference between having 2-3 watches that are $817,000 USD?
If I am Christian Ronaldo, yes, I would ;)
Alas, I am just a middle-class guy who loves watches. My most expensive watch is below 12K, and I don't see that I would or could spend more than that in foreseeable future. But yes, the total of all my watches now is nearly 40K. And I feel blessed that I...
Heck yeah I would.
But my wife would absolutely murder me...I would still mull it over though .
Not just Patek
I don't think it is for only Patek. I think the value of most watches is unknown by the general public. Joe Blow may recognize a "nice watch" but has absolutely no idea what it is worth or what the wearer paid. I am trying to get better at values by guess...
No doubt about that, I mentioned Patek as an examples of virtually all of my favorite watches, whose very existence is probably not even known to the public...The same is certainly true for most brands.
In fact, outside of select circles, I’m sure most people are not even aware of the existence of watches in the 5 or more digits!😉😇
Would you spend $100 on a watch?
Not a big deal right? But to a couple billion people on this planet who struggle with the basic necessities of food and shelter, this sum of money is as out of reach as $800K is. The point is a simple one, price (of anything) is entirely relative to the m...
I don't know, I just don't, too many competing emotions here..
Answer may change during the: day, mood, clear (or absence of) mind, and/or other factors...
Assuming the means were available to buy said watch
Whether or not it was straight up cash or that I would have to liquidate assets to buy, I guess the questions that follow would be 1. How mad am I about this particular watch 2. How good / bad is the deprecation or appreciation. 3. Is it possible to get o...
I would definitely in a blink
but only if I had ten times that amount in my bank account which regrettably I do not!

A complex question.. short answer would be no..
But will not begrudge the person who buys one as long as he shares pics of it in ppro ;-)
