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?

We've covered this before. Rolex make 1M+ watches per annum. They donate a large part of their profits to charity. Not sure that can be called restricted production as they have no need to make as much as they do.
