Revealing the average prices of world-renowned watches! 2016 luxury watch average prices TOP10

　　As we reach the end of the year, the topic most on everyone's mind is surely the year-end bonus. Once the bonus arrives, the next concern is what to buy to reward yourself for a year of hard work. As an editor with a sense of style, I am here today to provide some inside information from the watch world, hoping to bring some fresh and unique insights to your shopping plans.

　　Recently, an overseas watch-buying website published the average prices of various luxury watch manufacturers for the year 2016 up to the time of publication, and even shared the TOP10 behind these figures.

　　In this list, our king of watches, Patek Philippe, is not only featured but ranks right at the top! It has also secured the number one spot for average price. The average price for the king of watches reaches 38073 Euros, which converts to approximately 27-28 ten thousand Yuan.

　　As the darling of the watch world, Rolex's average price is somewhat more 'accessible' compared to Patek Philippe. The average price of a Rolex watch is approximately 7967 Euros, which converts to around 6 ten thousand Yuan. This average price places it in sixth position on the list.

　　Omega, which has always been a rival to Rolex in everyone's minds, had an average watch price of approximately 2016 Euros in 3648, which converts to about 2.7-3 ten thousand Yuan. This average price places it in ninth position on this list.

　　The stylish, fashionable, and most trendy Audemars Piguet follows closely behind Patek Philippe with an average price of 34540 Euros, or approximately 25 ten thousand Yuan. To be honest, from the perspective of luxury watches, the difference between the two is not particularly large (though, of course, this price difference would be enough for someone like me to buy several).

　　Third place goes to the innovation-loving Hublot, with an average price of approximately 17199 Euros, which should be less than 13 ten thousand Yuan when converted to RMB. This price point is quite a step down from the top two, placing it in the second tier.

　　The renowned Jaeger-LeCoultre ranks fourth with a price of 13021 Euros, which is less than 10 ten thousand Yuan. Honestly, this ranking is a bit unexpected. However, as one of the representatives of Swiss fine watchmaking, Jaeger-LeCoultre is truly a brand with integrity.

　　Fifth place goes to IWC; personally, I believe the Pilot and Portugieser collections alone could support IWC's sales. While this is a somewhat exaggerated personal opinion, the popularity of these two collections is extremely high. The average price for IWC is approximately 8891 Euros, which should be around 6.5 ten thousand Yuan when converted to RMB. This price is lower than that of Jaeger-LeCoultre, placing it in the third tier.

　　Rolex and Panerai, both belonging to the third tier, do not differ much in price. In addition to the aforementioned sixth-place Rolex, Panerai also ranks seventh with an average price of 7840 Euros. This average price converts to less than 6 ten thousand Yuan, which is generally consistent with the actual market situation for Panerai.

　　Breitling, known as the 'computer for the cockpit' watch, ranks eighth with an accessible average price of 4075 euros, which is less than 3 yuan, and leads the fourth tier of this list.

　　Having discussed Omega in ninth place, tenth place goes to the hidden 'tycoon' of the Swiss watchmaking world, TAG Heuer. The price of 2550 euros, which converts to less than 2 yuan, is truly popular among Swiss luxury watches!

　　Through this list, we can see that this TOP10 is basicallySwiss luxury watches. Panerai has also gradually begun to 'Swissify' following various management measures by the Richemont Group. The list has ten places in total, yet it is divided into four tiers, which also reflects that everyone's positioning is still different.

　　In the list, watches with a modern feel are in the majority; the designs of these brands' watches are also trending towards being more youthful and fashionable. However, through such a list, I hope to provide some useful information for your watch-buying endeavours.
