The MostExpensiveWatches Price Index

A repeat-listing index for the ultra-luxury watch market — we track the same individual reference listings across merchants over time, so inventory churn can never distort the figure. This is our first-party time-series, distinct from historical auction comps.

Methodology

Repeat-listing index. Baseline = first captured day (index 100). Each day tracks the mean price change of the same individual reference listings observed on both the baseline day and that day, so inventory churn cannot move the index.
