Although the big move is being driven by a particular dealer supported by an investment fund, they purchased all secondary stock 2 years ago amd dried the market, they still have a good part in stock.

Elegante Popularity/Availability
By: Journe1304 : August 5th, 2020-18:22
Hello FPJ community, I’ve always liked the Elegante line and have seriously considered them, and anytime I’ve gone into a boutique—from NYC to Geneva—they’ve been available for me to try on. But I’ve recently seen the basic 48mm Elegante in titanium and T...
To answer why it is so popular, I Think this happened last summer.

First the Elegante was rejected as a quartz watch. Then People understood that it is a pretty groundbreaking and innovative piece. then they tried it and realized how extremely comfortable it is, being very light and ergonomically shaped on the case back....
Didn’t know that.

You’re probably right.

They haven’t been shy about their strategy and acquisition targets lately.
I see that we've got similar taste...sans the elegante

I appreciate the global demand but, to me, it's just a glorified quartz watch. A couple of boutiques had previously pushed purchases from this line, in order to get priority for hot pieces. It is FPJ's new "cash flow" piece, and boy is that company haulin...
