Agree! even if all of us do not know Future/Migos etc. I suspect that the Patek US president or regional reps know exactly who they are. Say what you want about any of this. A billion dollar legacy luxury company like Patek's main concern has to be brand maintenance. Making sure these select guys get their hands on an iced out Nautilus is a win win-free PR and trickle down demand for the comparable "affordable" SS versions. No one is suggesting the watches these celebs wear or the general popular audience will be collectible. But alas, the question is retail sales to keep the business thriving vs. collectibility to keep the brand reputation thriving.
