The WatchCharts Overall Market Index rose 0.6% in February 2026, bringing its annual gain to 8.2%. Patek Philippe prices increased for a twelfth consecutive month and climbed 16.2% year over year; Tudor gained 11.4% annually. Cartier led the reported monthly brand gains at 1.6%, while Breitling fell 1.1%.

Why it matters (interpretation): Positive six-month performance across 21 of 27 tracked brands averaging above $3,000 suggests the secondary-market recovery extends beyond Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet.
