Methodology

Data sources (four streams)

  1. Thai Watch Market transactions (weight 50%), 580+ real Bangkok closing transactions Jan–May 2026
  2. WatchCharts sold index (weight 25%): global closed transactions, used as cross-check
  3. Auction House Thailand results (weight 15%) — quarterly Bangkok auction results
  4. Bangkok dealer interviews (weight 10%) — monthly interviews with seven dealers

Weighting factors

Every transaction is weighted by:

  • Condition (NOS, Lightly worn, Worn, Polished), at least 20% of weighting
  • Box/papers completeness — full-set vs no-box vs loose
  • Year of manufacture — 2022+ premium, pre-2018 discount
  • Warranty origin — TH vs overseas

Index frequency

  • Monthly — 47 key references
  • Quarterly — full report with trend analysis
  • Annual — review with forecast

YoY Trend — June 2025 vs June 2026

Segment YoY change
Rolex Sport Steel -0.8% (stable)
Patek Nautilus/Aquanaut -1.2% (continued correction)
AP Royal Oak -1.1% (correction phase)
Omega + Cartier -0.6% (stable)
Tudor -0.7% (stable)

The market is entering a "rationalised" floor — the price decline rate slowed from 2024 (avg -2.8%) to 2025–2026 (avg -1.0%).
