And the same way that I'm wearing a Rolex Explorer on my wrist, I could easily see buying a Porsche.
If you're going to make the analogy, the crude one, that Porsche is Rolex, I think you can make the analogy that Ferrari is Patek Philippe.
The big difference here being that Ferrari is much sort of flashier than Patek is as a brand.
And they also have the Tifosi, which adds this whole different element to it.
So to directly answer your question, I think branding shows up more in luxury watches than it does in luxury cars for the almost like the lack of experienceable intrinsic product characteristics that it's just hard to experience the product in a watch, but it's easy to experience the product differences in a car.
