Rolex is for wannabes. Patek Phillipe is for real ballers
Why do people say this?
Patek Philippe is top tier- yes
So is Vacheron Constantin
Do either make classic sport or diver styles? Not really.
Does Patek Philippe have a waitlist? Yep.
Just like Rolex.
In fact- I would say some Rolex models today are much more exclusive than most anything- even though the list price is much less.
Example-
Go try to get a Daytona by walking in a Rolex AD or boutique.
Go try to get an Aquanaut by walking in a Patek AD or boutique.
Bet you get the Aquanaut faster.

I wouldn't say the Rolex is more exclusive because they make ~900,000 of them and they make a lot more Daytonas than they do Aquanauts. The 5711 has been discontinued but when it was available new the waitlist was a lot longer than the SS Daytona. The SS Daytona remains an "it" watch as does the 5711 but with the SS Daytona you don't have to pay $100k+ to get one.
