i was lucky enough to be able to buy a patek pocket watch that was owned by a brazilian family. a beautiful pocket watch with original box and certificate from brazil. man this feels real special

[@davidcollin8875]

“You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look at it through the display window.”

[@jf3726]

Just like Rolex and AP 😏

[@darrenfry4695]

You can say that with anything, expensive car, jewelry,ect we are just part time keepers in it's everlasting history

Everytime I go to register my interest at a pp dealer, the only thing they will show me is the door

[@SkywalkerPaul]

A $30 Casio A168 has more complications and is by far more accurate than any Patek Philipe out there

[@Brian-bd5vb]

After years of dreaming (and saving) I bought a 5119R as a 30th birthday present to myself. It is possible!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I love the brand! Thanks for this video.

Here we met again antonio! After having just watched your video.😆

Your videos are addictive n informative...dope content from 🇰🇪 with ❤️

A luxury watch brand that is often unknown that should deserves recognition is Breguet. They’re horological innovations are significant and an installment about their history would be equally if not more fascinating.

[@t.greggprojectrallyjuke6394]

As well as Vacheron Constantin.

[@TomTomThomasDunn]

Vacheron is top 5 watch brands recognized the world over.. breguet is positively amazing as well!! But unfortunately not recognized

[@vishalshah7043]

great video . vacheron constantin next please

[@ricardochaveste7367]

I love the brand and the innovation of Petek, but oh boy, I can't never afford Petek holly Molly, some day so much history behind this incredible brand....great content...

[@TheLegitAlpha]

Patek Philippe developed their first quartz watch in the form of the Golden Ellipse. It looked pretty neat to, and is my favorite model line.

The Guy you describes as Francois Czapek on minute 1.20 is the King of France Napoleon III.

[@kenshindayonot]

always a fan of this brand ❤

[@user-jg9jt1oh8z]

The man on the photgraph of Francois Czapek is actally Napoleon III.

[@Artur_M.]

Honestly most of iconography and footage used in this video is supper random and inaccurate.

[@grzegorztlusciak]

The names were: Antoni Norbert Patek and Franciszek Czapek! The "de" part in the name was only added when he emigrated and Franciszek Czapek's name was also changed when he emigrated hence "Francois".

[@robindulasidaran9313]

Very Informative of an famous brand.🙏

[@allysonhanks9159]

hello Robin how are you doing 😊

[@MsOskarsson]

you do realize the photo of francoise you use is actually of Napoleon III ?

[@olgat3389]

Great video! Would love to see your production on Chopard

[@willbe7442]

Great edit. A few mistakes. When introducing Philippe, the name is on the wrong photo. When saying what year he died, you say 1892, but display 1932 on the screen.

[@johngawlik6198]

Damn

[@marcmera6733]

Very cool 😎 thank you!

I like the shot of the "Directors" round the table in the 1930s with smartphones and smart watches ?? (6:23)

[@richardshiggins704]

Timex for your next case study ?? Very informative and thanks . I could really never afford a PP though I could aspire to an entry model OMEGA DeVille . A classy understated watch . The Rolex is reputed to being rather poor at time keeping which I suppose is one of the reasons one buys a watch .

[@simonrostron6626]

Why is there a clip of the US cavalry in the opening sections of this history?

[@anderspedersen7488]

Is “Cie” really pronounced this way? I have a feeling the narrator doesn’t know “Cie” stands for “Compagnie”.

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Yes. And he is showing Napoleon the third in stead of Francizek Czapek. Which he calls Fransoise.Lol 😂

[@lindajolly935]

I would like to own one , one day!

What about Richard Mills or AP watch

Incorrect information and sometimes the voiceover said something and the graphics said something else..

Its hell expensive because of taxes but in another side Rolex is a bit cheaper because it is a trust

Wow I didn't know Patek Philippe was basically the innovator of the modern watch. The Patek heir was really foolish.

[@MsMaine619]

1:30 Cie stands for Cieszek, the third guy...

[@salvadeoobjetos6691]

Actually, "Cie." is the french abbreviation of "Compagnie" (Company). The name of the first partner was Czapek. When he parted ways with Patek, "Czapek & Cie." was founded.

[@MsMaine619]

Your videos are quite decent and you have uploaded a lot of videos but still your channel isn't doing that great and you aren't getting much views. Why do you think it's like that? What do you think can be reason behind it?

actually I didn't knew this brand of wrist watch only Rolex I know,,, until our media outlets was gossiped our president wearing this watch during his inagguration her in Philippine

[@ChristianrnstrupRasmussen]

Says ‘Cie’ in two different ways and tell a year written in small and shows another in large. Really not that convincing.

[@hallobre]

Cie is short for “compagnie” or company. It’s like saying Patek Philippe &co

Damn. May we not have foolish children, How can a son sell all the rights for $5000?

Cool, I love how the best and most successful were once poor, including Steve Jobs, the exception is Elon Musk and Bill Gates who've been rich since childhood. God bless.

[@marekborys7588]

He wasnt "poor". 😂

[@jga1001]

Buy a nice solar watch and donate the difference to a worthy cause in your town. Don't be a snob. When you buy a high end mechanical watch you are just paying to the company for the right to show to your friends that you have the money and taste to buy a famous brand powered by an old fashioned mechanism that is less accurate than their 200 usd watches.

[@hallobre]

I guess it’s a difference in mind set. A Patek is an asset, not a liability. If you bought a Patek nautilus 10 years ago for 15.000 you could sell it today for 100.000
