Exact numbers are not important and only illustrative; percentage drop in investment accounts in a financial crisis would not offset percentage drop in watch prices—unless you are primarily cash/fixed income and without substantial assets.
This is a watch forum and not a financial asset management forum. My point is during the last major recession, there were many watches available at a deep discount. If you can predict the downturn and move assets around to minimize losses, you can use that cash to buy Patek watches on a dip.
