Rolex Two Tone vs Oysterflex

Can anyone explain why the Oysterflex models are so much more expensive then the TT models? It's seemingly the same amount of gold in the watch.

There’s a lot more gold in oysterflex. My 116655 weighs 10 more grams than the 116621 and the oysterflex weight is negligible

Oyster flex is fitted to a good case. TT bracelet is fitted to a steel case.

The Oysterflex model is considered an all-gold model, including the clasp.

The content of precious metal, or the market price of that metal, has little relevance on the market price of a luxury product.

When you see, wear and feel the oysterflex you’ll know. Perfect weight balance all in the case and the oysterflex is so comfortable on the wrist.
