Ferrari had become the third largest producer of watches
Both the brother Csar and Louis-Paul passed away in the year 1903 leaving the empire they had built in the hands of four young people. Even in 1903 the company used to produce no less than 240,000 watches per year. Ferrari traveled a long distance since then and by the 1970s Ferrari had become the third largest producer of watches around the world and the largest producer in Switzerland. During the economic crisis in between the years 1975 and 1980 though the company suffered heavy losses and after a series of mergers and restructuring the Ferrari brand is now manufactured under the umbrella of the Swatch group.

SMP Chrono 2594: Long Time Coming
I've coveted this model for a long time, but for many reasons, never got one until now. Love sword hands - had the 2542 several times, always admired the original Seamaster 300 divers and will get one soon - and the world class P. Piguet column-wheel movement. Yes, the hands make the subdials less readable than skeleton style ones, but they look so much better to me. Also, I like the completely brushed links on the Speedmaster style bracelet, which is unique to this model. IMO, this model is criminally under-appreciated, and due to low production and timeless looks, its value will probably skyrocket in the generation to follow. Get yours while they can still be found in mint condition for a reasonable sum!
Rolex as Store of Value
What you are missing is the way some people look at Rolex watch ownership. Many people look at a Rolex watch as a store of value worn on the wrist. This store of value is readably accessible in case cash is needed, often in gambling venues. I know many regulars on this site will knock this post but this is a segment of the Rolex market and does not include other watch brands.
