The WatchCharts Overall Market Index fell 1.4% in May 2026, with Rolex declining 2.2%, its biggest monthly loss since November 2024. Rolex GMT-Master prices dropped 2.4% and Daytona prices 2.2%. Patek Philippe fell 0.1% and Audemars Piguet 0.3%, ending months-long rallies; Cartier and Omega declined 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively.
Why it matters (interpretation): The reversal suggests that the recent secondary-market recovery remains fragile, with Rolex’s decline potentially reflecting a correction after Watches & Wonders speculation.
