What I like about Patek is that the reason of it being expensive is about the craftsmanship, complexity and detail not just because it contains a lot of expensive precious stones. The essence of watch-making is being valued.

You can walk into any high end watch boutique and just buy a Patek. The only ones that require an application are the rare complications that cost around $1M.

We're really surprised by how many of you have never heard of Patek Philippe before! We're about to step your watch game knowledge waaaaay up!

Wow, it takes 9 months to 2 years to hand make every watch. I want to work there. 1. Come to work. 2. Check log to see what screw is being put in today. 3. Long morning coffee with biscuits. 4. Put in 1 screw. 5. Long executive lunch. 6. Check the screw you put in previously. 7. Afternoon brunch. 8. Check log to see what screw will be put in tomorrow. 9. Quitting time.

I remember Patek Philippe from The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen. Something like 1968 or 69. I've wanted one ever since. You know God has a sense of humor when you have Patek Philippe taste and a Timex income.
@mementorequiem
Patek Philippe has been my most favorite watchmaker of all time. Every model is a true masterpiece from a great artisan. Wish I could afford one.

Corrections: 1. Not all PP watches are application watches. 2. Not all PP watches are rare .. you can walk into any PP salon and buy any watch they currently have on sale , yes you will most likely not get the rare pieces but they do have some that are not that rare that you can find in the boutique.

My dad owns a Patek Phillipe and I’ve got to say it’s so perfect!!! I love the little chimes it makes!

Fun fact, Saddam Hussien was one of their biggest customers, as they made custom watches with his portrait or name on them.

This is one of the best attempts at high end ego-stroking I have seen in a long time. The narrator has a highly developed skill in delivery and the underlying references to elitism and narcissism together with carefully crafted visual imagery are used as foreplay before the beautifully timed references to resale values reassure the prospective owner that when they tire of their toy they are in with a chance of turning a profit when they dispose of it in favour of some new affirmation of themselves. Very well done Alux.

Makes me feel like a dirty peasant here with my Submariner.

I could not agree more with Mike on this one. This watch isn't simply a watch. It is a priceless heirloom, meticulously crafted by Patek Phillipe and his assistant, Jesus Christ. Patek's affiliate company, Les Pretentious Doux, supplies Patek and Jesus with only the finest gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and unicorn tears to assemble these timeless works of art. The wrist band is made from dragonscale and minotaur hide and was saddle-stitched by Abraham Lincoln... postmortem. The centerpiece is forged purely from platinum and the souls of starved children; children who didn't deserve to eat because they did not have one of these classic gems. Perhaps the greatest feature of this watch is its time-telling feature. The good people at Patek wanted to ensure that their customers have only the finest watches when they decide to not give anyone else the time... and why would they? It's their time, not that lowly cretin's. This watch's value is unparalleled and makes a great addition to any collection of jewelry, accessories, clothing or Nazi memorabilia. At just over $100,000, there has never been an easier way to say, "I am better than you and you know it."

I have Patek ellipse 3546 and Patek 5196r and I am very proud.
@zimankhan7411
comparing rolex to a Patek, is like comparing a Toyota to a Rolls Royce
@johanalcaraber7729
No mention about Antoni Patek or Czapek...
@robertrosen3969
One does not have to submit an application to buy a Patek, many luxury stores in the US are authorized dealers, how absurd to state such a thing...)
