You buy a $10 to tell the time. You do not buy an $8,000 Rolex to tell the time. Depending on the purchaser it's a combination of fashion, signalling, and appreciation for the mechanics.

Expensive watches can also be investments, many of which appreciate in value.

Same applies to rare luxury cars, real estate, etc.
