Do they need to up their marketing?

Patek or tiffany could set a price of 1m for each watch and still sell out in minutes

Hypothetically if they bought it a 6.6m they can sell the 'normal' one for 1m... See @Tenderloin post above. Est at most $80k? now $280k

That $1m is only achievable if the Tiffany is higher... Makes financial sense. You only need to sell 6 to cover cost, generating a 144m from the rest.

But the retailers aren’t selling at over retail, are they? I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. If anything I suppose it could be used to facilitate Rolex AD-style “sweeteners”, ie we can make this piece available if you spend £xxx,xxx on these diamonds over here, sir. But I don’t know if that’s how Tiffany operates.

Or it could be to up the brand?

What's that term used for brands like Rolex, PP, Prada where its restricted production only for those to show off their wealth?
