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

Unbelievable piece. That gold and blue are great. Movement is a work of art in itself.

LOL, that would definitely make good content for the episode! 😜

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…”

[@istvankedei3931]

just stunning, mind blowing precision, I wondering if the new generation will learn and have patience for this kind of work

[@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.

[@alberts1996]

En un día se puede realizar el servicio, para controlarlo y ver que todo haya salido bien, unos 6 días más, así que aprox una semana se le pide al cliente, con este reloj calculo que mínimo ese servicio le salio unos 10 000 dolares

Impresionante, memorizar tantas y diminutas piezas es un verdadero arte , definitivamente los relojes de antes eran máquinas alienígenas, los de hoy en día son muy sencillos

[@ASMROW]

327??? No way. I always had watches with 326 pieces only. What world are we living in? Thank you for sharing. Definitely worth my £50k savings.

[@eddiifuentes9298]

That was awesome to watch and relaxing to be honest hehehe. How much would that cost to do and how often does a Patek requires servicing?

Clock repair professional is a minimum of five years apprenticeship, watch repair professional, minimum ten years apprenticeship, both are formally called horologists, this explains why someone may ask you if you got the money after asking them about the time

[@rockhard7236]

At 1:40 screwdriver doesn’t belong on Patek watch

[@ianmedium]

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?

[@panosa963]

It's an Arnold & Son

[@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.

How does he know where all the parts go when he reassembles ?

[@eijiboygtr]

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

I’m well off, but I would never spend $100,000 for a watch. Much rather give that money to the homeless, or children in need. I’d spend a little something on a Cuban link though.
