One of the problems is that there are many buyers who place zero value on complications, in fact it can be a negative from the perspective of delicacy and service cost and, from a rarity perspective, three hand watches from Patek and Journe are it, particularly in non-precious metal.

The most prized and highly expensive journes are complicated and in precious metals. Early resonances and tourbs with one off dials and brass movements etc

But I know what you mean. Hype beasts don’t care about comps lol they wouldn’t be able to set the damn thing anyways.
