PATEK PHILIPPE explained in 3 minutes | Short on Time

Patek Philippe means watchmaking at its best. Let’s take a look at the history of the brand and the most iconic watch models.
Many watch collectors spend decades studying Patek Philippe, but we’ll keep it brief for today. Patek Philippe was founded in Geneva in 1839 and quickly became a leader for its innovations in the field of complication watches like chronographs, perpetual calendars, and minute repeaters. Patek even made a custom pocket watch with 24 complications in a single timepiece called the Henry Graves Supercomplication.

I have two 5119s, one in rose gold and the other in white gold. These are among the least expensive Pateks but I bought them for their simplicity and elegance (and relatively small small size) rather than price. I don't consider myself wealthy and having spent almost $50,000 on two watches, I'm not inclined to buy anymore. I have a "been there, done that'" feeling but no regrets. I love the watches I own and in another life (with much more money), I would enjoy collecting from the Patek complications line - stunningly beautiful.

[@charlessherrer1926]

Thanks for sharing these valuable insights about the best timepieces on the market. I certainly enjoy everything Patek! Cheers!

[@user-qi1xi8gd5u]

5980R and 5140J are my personal favourites. Classy, timeless pieces.

[@jeffsmith1661]

Just received my first Patek - the 5524R in Rose gold. Love the presentation and the artistry of the form. I’m now hooked.

[@razvan-urs]

Patek is one my favorites. The fact that the nautilus was designed almost 50 years ago and still looks so fresh today is mind-blowing.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

No. It simply means you watch taste is stuck in the 70’s.

Great insight!! Thanks for sharing!

[@alexp3752]

Lady watch enthusiast for 50 years... Just my take, being an engineer and a person who works with their hands, I truly appreciate fine craftsmanship. At the same time, I have never understood the popularity of Patek. Geneva is my second home town As such, I know a great deal about the watch industry, it's firms, philosophy and the people who make these fine masterpieces. The only two Patek models I would ever consider are the traditional Calatrava, yellow gold, white face with black roman numerals, with or without the second register, or the Golden Ellipse. Complications I could care less... They are nice for the sake of being appreciated,, but for practical, daily use, no. I prefer simplicity and ultrathin movements. With that in mind, Piaget has simply no equal. Unlike Patek, from its very beginning, Piaget was a movement house founded by a watchmaker that slowly evolved into a family business beginning in 1874. Published reports indicate in the early years, Patek outsourced many movements and simply provided cases and final finishing. Historically, Piaget has been a family of watchmakers, versus Patek a family of merchants and wise businessmen. That's okay too, I would regard VC and Piaget in the top tier and I would Patek, but Patek specializes in complications, while Piaget specializes in the creation of ultrathins. At 2MM total case thickness, featuring the world's thinnest watch, the Ultimate Concept, Piaget's preeminence in this area is simply unsurpassed and will be so for what I expect will be the immediate future. The bottom line, choose a fine watch carefully for it is one of the few possessions any many or woman can own that can last throughout their lifetime, and beyond. Houses, cars, businesses, fortunes, clothes, and even spouses come and go over time, a fine watch remains.

[@TheDarlowiak]

Czapek and Patek , two , of great Polish watch makers of Switzerland.

[@homefink2235]

The 5712 is my absolute grail. It's sporty and even elegant. The case is very thin. I would like the whitegold Version, because it's such a cool Understatement and elegant watch.

[@Luxurywatchif]

Perpetual Calendars, white dial, white gold, black strap...the golden standard of watches and mastered by Patek Philippe IMO

[@chadhemingway3335]

I own a 5726a Nautilus, my favorite, almost my tag heuer calibre 16

[@merlinsrobe4621]

I’ve purchased about 20-25 Patek models so far. As a brand I’d say they’re fairly uninspiring with a very vintage aesthetic. They seem to be really popular among watch enthusiasts on the internet who are constantly complaining about how difficult the basic steel Nautilus is to purchase, but of the 4-5 friends I have with watch collections in the triple digits, they’re actually a brand that we discuss very little nowadays.

[@bogscab2]

Can you feature the Vulcain Cricket? Thanks.

[@thomasforinger3488]

Ellipse Jumbo with Date, Blue or Golden Dial, Nautilus Movement.... Totaly Underrated from my point of View.... Actual, the 5905R, extremely well balanced dial ... Should get more attention

[@jaroslawdudkiewicz1628]

The founder of the Patek Philippe company was Antoni Patek (Antoine Norbert de Patek), a Polish watchmaker. He was born on June 14, 1812, in Piaski Luterskie (modern-day Poland). After serving in the November Uprising in 1830, Patek had to leave Poland and settled in Switzerland. In 1839, together with another Polish emigrant, Franciszek Czapek, he founded the company Patek, Czapek & Cie, which specialized in producing high-quality watches. In 1845, the partnership was dissolved, and Antoni Patek sought a new partner. In 1845, Antoni Patek met the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, the inventor of the keyless winding mechanism, which significantly simplified the operation of watches. In 1851, they officially founded the company named Patek Philippe & Co. The company quickly gained a reputation as one of the most important manufacturers of luxury watches in the world. To this day, Patek Philippe is synonymous with the highest quality and excellence in watchmaking craftsmanship, continuing the traditions and standards established by its founders.

[@Kwippy]

Mine's just a Calatrava. Not exciting, not rare but it's all I need in a dress watch, simple but elegant.

[@alexp3752]

The Calatrava is the best of the mark! Simple and elegant is the central theme for a grail dress watch! Good for you!

How? Please explain. Interesting comment

@@kkumar8941 innovation in their timepieces and movements. And their finishing of the movement is unmatched in my opinion.

[@sumitagg1]

@@dsvillalva agree. But their watches aren’t for everyone. Patek has a greater variety of cases, complications,

[@piotrs.2389]

I thought similarly for about 10 years, then someone showed me a disassembled Lange mechanism and a Vacheron... and I bought ... a Vacheron. In Lange I really like 3 hz balance, but the colorful movements (a mixture of silver, yellow gold, pink jewels, and blued screws is too much for me), besides, I don't like the alpha style hands and Lange only has such in his watches, and the cases are not very different. . Vacheron or Patek is complete, Lange has been in the industry too short, fell out of practice for 45 years of non-existence. Lange isn't at the same echelon , imo.
