The WatchCharts Overall Market Index was flat in September 2026, despite gains among 22 of 28 tracked brands with average secondary prices above $3,000. Rolex fell 0.4%, while Audemars Piguet rose 0.5% and Patek Philippe gained 0.2%, bringing its annual increase to 18.1%. Parmigiani Fleurier led the month with a 2.0% rise.

Why it matters (interpretation): This suggests the secondary-market recovery is broadening beyond Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, even as the overall index stalls.
