Guys, what do you think? Would the one and only real gold product Apple have ever created be collectible? It is rare and hard to find already - no questions asked - but would it also be a collectible piece?
Thanks for the valuable reply! Probably I had to formulate myself a bit more correct - I do collect rare Apple hardware, and I consider the Edition Watches the rarest of them all...As a watch collector my immediate thought is "No".
Imho one would be far more prudent to invest a similar sum of money on several other known 'musts' in the watch collectors world. Just for starters what immediately comes to mind is an original Omega Moonwatch cal 321 ST105 012 or ST145 012. After long searches I purchased both some 15 years ago with never a regret. Condition of course is all important, and original documentation where possible for even additional investment potential.
Vintage Rolex Submariners and SeaDwellers should also be mentioned, but I have a personal love-affair with the Omegas, not only for their fascinating Moonwatch history and less bling-bling, but also it's hard to find a more perfectly designed chronometer.
No problem! Like yourself I also collect interesting vintage Macs and refurbish whenever possible.Thanks for the valuable reply! Probably I had to formulate myself a bit more correct - I do collect rare Apple hardware, and I consider the Edition Watches the rarest of them all...

Fwiw a 20th anniversary Mac (TAM), and Apple Newton 2100 give me more pleasure than any Apple watch could, both with a measure of investment potential, but each to his/her own as they say.
I hope you enjoy your collecting as much as I do.
