From 327 Pieces to Perfection: Servicing a $120,000 Patek Philippe

Have you ever taken a look inside the stunning Patek Philippe Nautilus 5980R-001? At the height of the luxury watch market near April 2022, this watch was around $200,000! Even though prices have come down significantly since then, this 5980 remains a highly coveted and iconic timepiece from the 185-year-old Swiss watch manufacturer.
Join us in this episode of our Watchmaking Magic series as we perform a complete overhaul on the watch, taking every single piece apart with surgical precision before putting them back together again.
Watch as our preferred watch maker, Yuri Lopez from Chrono Sky, works his art and meticulously services this rose gold beauty piece by piece (all 327 of them!).

How human minds created this is beyond me..... absolutely amazing

I immediately heard David Attenboroughs voice from planet Earth in my mind: “a truly remarkable thing to behold. The watchmaker in their natural habitat carefully disassembles a Patek Philippe…”

How does 327 pieces become $120k? Thats some crazy exuberance.

[@TeeBlue_Da_Cajun]

Truly an amazing process! Would give anything to learn this hobby. Such a beautiful & passionate process taking apart such a beautiful watch piecing back together.

[@nadeemagherdien]

Wow what an amazing piece of horology. Very lucky man to wear that Patek. The blue against the gold looks stunning especially the glass case back to admire the art behind the science. What does a service like this cost..is it relative to the value of the watch? How long does the entire process take? Amazing photography for us to marvel at your craft, thank you.

The level of finish that only the watchmaker will ever see is Outstanding and goes a long way to explain especially the retail price, dare I say it, the retail price is actually almost a bargain ! Is Yuri wearing an Erwin Sattler regulator watch?

After all that disassembly and youre just going to reuse the main spring.? that should be replaced with the new one. theres a higher chance that the mainspring will break if not replaced thats why brand like rolex always replaced the mainspring every service regardless of age

[@pirminkogleck4056]

In my opinion, 99% of Patek Philippe owners don't deserve to wear such a masterpiece. I see so many people showing off their Patek, but they actually have no idea about the real values in life, and even more, they don't understand the amount of craftsmanship it takes to create a Patek.

[@veganbutcherhackepeter]

In my opinion most of the luxury watch owners today are crypto bros and other morons. They don't understand high horology, they're in it for the bling. That's all I gotta say to that.
