    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.

      Dear Alux, you only need to apply to buy a Patek if it is of some sort of grand complication such as a Skymoon or Minute reapeater. I just bought my first Patek, a 5370, last month from an AD and no application was needed.
      Other than that good video, cheers.

    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.

      Thomas Crown in 1967 (when the movie was filmed) did not wear a Patek Philippe. He wore an 18ct Jaegar-LeCoultre Memovox automatic cal. 855 that is just as good. I have the Patek Calatrava with the cal. 215 movement and wish Timex still made the more practical wind-up that listed for $11 when I was a kid. I will give you a thumb's though.

      "Other than the Patek Philippe pocket watch, McQueen’s wrist sports two other noteworthy timepieces in the film. The first is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox and the second, that many consider to the definitive gentleman’s watch, and in this case, the perfect match to McQueen’s on screen ensemble, the Cartier Tank Cintrée."

    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.

  • @maganaluis92
    @maganaluis92 Před 6 lety +52

    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."

    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.

    This is in need of an update.
    The $24m paid for a Patek in this video has been surpassed this year (2019) by another sold at auction for over $31m
    Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is missing from the list of owners and she has more than one.
    Her Majesty wore a Patek at her Coronation in 1953.

    Their are many fine watches that people can choose for whatever reason motavates them but I think some people miss the point when they compare a Rolex with a Patek. Patek Philippe is not only the most iconic brand but they have contributed so many iconic references & are responsible for so many firsts in horology that they really have no equal. Take the other 2 brands from the "
    " Holly Trinity ", AP & VC both nice but a case could be made for replacing both these brands with brands like Breguet, A Lange & Sohn or Jaeger Le Coultre. AP & VC have had ups & downs through out their history & even used movements not made in house, take AP for example their company is esentially built on one model, the Royal Oak, Patek has a very broad line to choose from to satisfy all tastes.. True their are these small independents like Richard Mille that are expensive & produce very few watches but they are no Patek. If you wanted to go the independent route I would sugest looking at FP Journe or maybe Ressence. Rolex is a great ultra rugged, classic tool watch & to compare it to any one of these other brands is completely missing the point its should be appreciated for what it is & you won't be sent to watch hell for liking more then one brand. This comment is directed to John Smith in good faith, A Patek Nautilus is a real head turner & any one that appreciates watches would be impressed if you were wearing one & it can't be mistaken for any other watch on the market, talk about iconic ! As has already been said here before, it only matters what you think, the people that appreciate fine time pieces will notice, who cares what the others think.

    design Museum in London from 13 to 16 December 2021. I didn't know a lot about watches and I rarely wear them, but after having made the documentary and spoken with the watch experts and other people involved, they infected me with their unlimited passion for watches.

    Thank you ALUX, I do appreciate the information about this brand, can you do one about Breitling👍

    • @LHswe
      @LHswe Před 7 lety +2

      I would say Breitling's are for two groups of people 1. People looking for a watch to last them a lifetime with the economy to reflect the purchase price 2. People who are willing to spend several months salary on a watch as a statement of wealth that does not reflect their actual economic status.
      I own two Breitlings and it is a brand tainted by a lower class who try to flaunt their "apparent riches" with this brand, shame for a brand with an otherwise great reputation.

    • @Ytremz
      @Ytremz Před 7 lety +2

      LHswe "Tainted by a lower class" what a vile thing to write.

    • @LHswe
      @LHswe Před 7 lety +1

      No-one said the world was anything different, snowflake.
      Classes are a social construct and don't necessarily have intrinsic value but the reality is what it is and why we value brands are because of what they represent. To buy something of distinct class is an attempt to elevate one's perception in the eye's of others.
      The "class" a potion of the high end watch market, in particular Breitling and Rolex seems to attract is that of the low income "class" who buy a watch for up to a years salary to give the appearance of wealth.
      There is sometime's and overlap between a true aficionado and those who simply wan't to flaunt their "wealth".
      Capitalism is a load of social trickery to create value judgement on arbitrary measurements of materialistic affluence, but it is one you've bought in to, by no less than clicking on this video, so you can pretend not to be a part of this "vile" system, but that is all you would be doing is pretending not to see things for what they are.

    As a Patek owner; I have a Patek that was made in 1947. It is more accurate than my Rolex DateJust made in 2001. The Patek matches to the second to the Atomic Clock within a week. (Rolex is off by 6-8 seconds in that period.)

      Vincent Ivan Tanaya I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be taken as ‘higher quality’ per se but it definitely means that a lot of time and effort was put into creating the watch. I do understand and agree with what you are saying though.

      because we are social animals and we value what other people make and more what it took them to make it (the struggles, the suffering). If you want to go to a dark place you could imagine selling your only childs, that died in some tragic turn of events, only painting for 100 million dollars.

  • @mcclechinois1213

    Not so much an application but a lot models do require to be put on a wait list, with the 2019 ones being up to 5 years and being a previous customer of the AD.
    I do remember that the Sky Moon Tourbillon required a application and interview by the Sterns to be put on a two year waiting list, same as the Ferrari Testarossa...

    Firstly, Patek Philippe is not 'one of the member' of the Holy Trinity, it is the HEAD of the Holy Trinity, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin are the other (lower) members of this Holy Trinity, which is the Holy Grail of the ultra luxury segment.
