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.
The repeat-listing price index recorded a 0.006% change across 12,755 matched listings over 78 days (2026-05-30 to 2026-08-20), led on the upside by A. Lange & Söhne at +0.15% and on the downside by Audemars Piguet at -0.08%.

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. Source: MostExpensiveWatches daily cross-merchant price capture.
