[@amintaslneto]

You are the man Marc!!! What an amazing video. When I said I was looking forward to seeing you playing with the cal. 89 in the last video it was in theory but you've literally made it. WOW!! Something that only The Watches TV can do!! You guys rock!!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks Amintas and of course we had to do it ;) What a great pleasure and honour, fantastic!!!

[@perryw5906]

I love Patek Philippe Nice work guys Carry on

[@stevenuk]

Again another excellent and informative video.

[@alexp3752]

Bravo, Mr. Paul Buchlin, Master Watchmaker... The Calibre 89 is your legacy.

[@frankblangeard8865]

It is a 'pocket watch' for the Jolly Green Giant.

[@tonymarga8716]

Estoy escribiendo un libro en el que aparece este reloj .Gracias Pattek.

Exemplary level of excellence :)

[@samadrid6321]

Does it come with a matching bracelet? It would look good on a leather strap.

[@justinbarnard8749]

Nato is a bit more understated. I don't want to come off flashy

[@officialMainspring]

Calibre 89 is awesome!........... but why is it all scratched? I'm not talking love marks from polishing it with a cloth. it almost look like someone actually took the piece, put a chain on it and wore the dang thing... crazy. lovely regardless. digging that Rolex chrono.

[@visionist7]

I would have huge respect for whoever wore it properly

[@nicolasemaldi1455]

This has been one of my favourite videos that you have made. I am quite young but I love vintaje watches so much, I would be happy with that Tank on my wrist, is it normal ? jajajaj anyway congratulations for that video. It has been a top one, well done

[@dreamwarriors979]

Bujaka, I want This watch ❣️

[@alexandruflorianturda5379]

KING!

[@7IRAM]

On a different note, need your opinion on the Hublot BB Sang Bleu All Black. Thanks!

[@calvin99991]

Is it waterproof? Can I wear it when I go swimming?

[@hugedickerinokripperino5299]

cjshaker u can but its recommended not to.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

So cool.

At the end of this video, you say you will update us on the auction. There are two videos linked at the end about an auction, but they do not mention the caliber 89. I checked your posted videos back to this one and nothing else seemed obvious as an update to this watch at an auction.

[@watchestv-com]

We actually talked about this in the following PRIMETIME and this incredible timepiece didn’t find a buyer...

[@danarief]

1:21 Is that a scratch on the crystal?

[@watchestv-com]

No, that was just a small thread of cloth... ;)

[@danarief]

Such a relief to hear that :)

[@watchestv-com]

[@rendezvouswithdestiny1717]

TheWATCHES.tv no I don’t think it’s a thread I think it’s the edge of the window to the celestial dial. Otherwise that pesky thread is on your thumbnail for the video to

[@rendezvouswithdestiny1717]

TheWATCHES.tv I stand corrected that’s one pesky thread! 😂

[@L.SPARROW58]

How much is the strap for it??? 😎

[@visionist7]

4:21 the year indicator reads up to 2699

[@finnojk]

Is there also a Rosegold one?

[@TheShotGunLP]

I think you got something wrong. There is a platinum, white gold, yellow gold and rose gold (instead of steel) version ;)

[@rbivgq1734]

It is an extremely beautiful timepiece but how can this really be considered a watch and not a clock its gigantic and coludn't even feasibly be carried in the pocket. Is there some standard dimension maximum that determines the cut off for a watch as opposed to a clock?

[@emilm8603]

That rogue thread is driving me crazy.

[@PopEye2384]

Patek Phillipe: We made the most complicated timepiece in the world with 33 complications. Vacheron Constantin: Hold my Ref. 57260

[@visionist7]

The Vacheron is kinda ugly in comparison though

[@ceferistul05]

...does anybody know the song at 1:22?

Gramatik - Is It Over

[@ghosthunter2591]

Things have certainly moved on since the sun dial !!!.

[@andrei2023]

Amazing 26 million euro price 😳😳😳

[@gorter23]

does anyone know what the watch is in the background on the poster, from the second part of the youtube?

[@griffn14]

Looks like a Patek Philippe Ref. 2499. Lot 174 on the Sotheby's site I would say.

[@gorter23]

thx

[@АндрейДубовка]

Цена ?

[@quentingarnier2403]

What's the number right next to the year ?

[@visionist7]

Leap year indicator 1 - 4

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

The word "Iconic" has lost all its meaning and folks need to start using it only when it is appropriate. Otherwise it means almost nothing.

[@procta2343]

sweet bit of kit, but fuck me i bet its fun to set! also i bet it weighs a bit too.

[@watchesaliswiss714]

incrodibel...Nice report :o

[@adamadkins9210]

Since Patek guarantees they will service any timepiece they ever made, one has to wonder: How much would they charge to service this "watch?" It beggars the imagination.

[@justfetus]

Gramatik I hear you!

[@watchestv-com]

That's right!!

[@SoCalFreelance]

Wasn't the Calibre 89 just up for auction at Christie's last year? Seems in poor taste to "flip" it so soon. Suggests the current owner is more concerned about making a quick buck than having a true appreciation for watchmaking or cultivating a world class watch collection.

[@watchestv-com]

It wasn't put on auction, but as a private sale with a fixed price that no one was apparently willing to go for, reason for this change. So still the same owner, but different strategy...

[@SoCalFreelance]

Ahhh...👍

[@najamshafi8041]

what is this watch going to do after the Year 9999 lol

[@gsolee]

At that point, it'd be such an iconic relic it wouldn't even matter.

[@shiitakestick]

najam shafi - just have a 1 painted on .

[@visionist7]

It only goes to 2699

[@1thailover]

my casio g shock still is tiny now

[@pte1808]

I think these watches should have one hand just to show buyers bank account balance.

[@abdelmercifulgaming7890]

i wonder if all of these watches will survive world war 3

[@watchestv-com]

Probably!!!

[@yiannismerianos]

I envy you! for me is more likely to see a living dinosaur🐉 than this watch! as always great 👍 job!

[@watchestv-com]

Haha, i like the comparison!!!

[@DGA2000]

More a clock than a watch

It’s not the eighty-nine, it’s the *four-twenty-nine.*

[@BTM866]

yeah but can you use siri on it ?

[@geberdali3888]

D'accord c'est super jolie et très technique mais au final à quoi ça sert si ce n'est que pour la cacher dans un coffre fort. Je préférerais garder mon argent dans mon compte bancaire et puis c'est tout.

[@watchestv-com]

Je pense qu'avec les taux d'intérêt actuel, certaines de ces montres sont des placement nettement plus rentable ;)

[@geberdali3888]

ok, merci pour l'info je ne le savais pas.

[@thomasmoll8822]

@MAD: Il me semble (du coin de l'œil) qu'elle ne s'est pas vendue. Donc sa valeur est pour l'instant une valeur plutôt abstraite...

The watches are amazing but reporter was annoying beacuse of the way how he holded the microphone with right hand into the presenter’s mouth.

Need some logic to watch hours of this watch but it isn’t a legend which is a mythic machine
