Chingmy Yau draws attention with luxury watch at public appearance

Actress Chingmy Yau recently made a rare public appearance alongside her husband, fashion entrepreneur Sham Kar-wai, at a high-profile birthday party. Yau, 58, drew significant attention for her appearance and a luxury orange Richard Mille sports watch, estimated to be worth over HK$1 million.

Her appearance has sparked discussions regarding luxury watches as investment assets. Experts note that while certain top-tier Swiss brands maintain value due to scarcity and supply-demand imbalances, the market has cooled since its 2022 peak. Successful watch investing relies on brand strength, secondary market liquidity, and maintaining original packaging and documentation.

Sham Kar-wai, founder of the fashion group that once held a multi-billion dollar market value, appeared in good health. The couple's presence was part of a star-studded gathering that included various prominent Hong Kong entertainment figures.
