Got a friend working in Patek - the price which the watch is made is 5-6k USD everything else is strong marketing and brand name
@joemourad2 ай бұрын
Yeah but still they have to the employees, rent, electricity and utilities, security, host events to market these watches and so on and so forth. Of course they profit a lot after all expenses but it isn’t what you think and it isn’t easy.
@joseo.6362 ай бұрын
I don’t need to have a friend who works at PP to know what you just said… It’s very obvious that the production cost of these watches is much cheaper than the retail price at a boutique. They sell you the name, the prestige, the exclusivity. Acquiring a Patek is an indication that you’ve already made it in life. You may like it or not, but that doesn’t change this fact. That’s how the world works. Either way, it’s not something that concerns me… I’m nowhere near being able to buy a watch of this caliber. I just like watching them on KZbin. Cheers!

You know what, the sad thing is the watch brand are more than happy to see and allow this to happen, the thing is those chain of things had created the hype for the brand and it also allows them to clear the inventory of those unwanted pieces in a more efficient way before they can choose which buyer they can give out the hype pieces to. Brand like AP, PP and Rolex can actually do a lot of things to stop what happened in grey market (they have the ability and power to do so but just choose not to), they know once they eliminate what happened in the grey market, it will massively damage their revenue.

Hi Niko! I love that piece, the beauty of that dial display is just amazing! By the way, I would go for the 5712 because of the de-centered oscillating mass displayed of the movement, another real beauty. I started to comment because I think I saw somewhere, I don't remember where, that Patek had adjusted their watches deepness resistance but guaranteeing those meters, something I think they weren't doing or something like that.

Hi. First of all congratulations on probably the best grail watch! Actually love your AP Royal Oak as well. Such a treat to see both in the same video. However, I had a quick question. As accurate the Patek is supposed to be, I'm not sure if it's my understanding or something might need to be checked on this particular watch. I'm speaking about the 24 hr dial at the 6 o'clock position. Are you sure it's not a second time zone feature? The reason I'm asking is, in the b rolls, the time on the watch was mostly set at 1:45 or 1:50 PM. Which is 10 or 15 mins before 1400 hrs. However the 24 hr dial was past the 1400 hrs and nearing the 1500 hrs mark. Maybe a quick check at the dealer can fix it. Didn't intend to scare your friend or make him feel bad about his purchase. Just want to ensure no one else points this out to him. :)

Great Video!! Mabrook brother for this amazing purchase!! One note to Niko: The water resistance is REAL 30m and includes aquatic activities - Patek confirmed that in their press release: Unified criteria for water-resistance To ensure the homogeneity and clarity of the information provided to clients, Patek Philippe has decided to introduce a new unified standard of water-resistance set at 30 meters for all watches certified as waterresistant -having been tested in air and underwater by immersion at an overpressure of 3 bars (corresponding to a depth of 30 m). This measure makes it possible to guarantee the same performance level across all the models concerned and to provide perfectly comprehensible information as to the dayto-day activities in which clients can engage while wearing their watch: washing their hands, showering, bathing, swimming and other aquatic activities, including diving to a depth of 30 m - which corresponds in large measure to actual utilization.

FYI Patek Philippe issued a press release just before W&W this year on 9th April..which explains clearly the water resistance.. Unified criteria for water-resistance To ensure the homogeneity and clarity of the information provided to clients, Patek Philippe has decided to introduce a new unified standard of water-resistance set at 30 meters for all watches certified as water-resistant -having been tested in air and underwater by immersion at an overpressure of 3 bars (corresponding to a depth of 30 m).

So unless you intend to go scuba diving with your Patek Philippe watch on pretty much you are pretty much covered… having said that who in their right mind would take a Patek Philippe watch to a 30m actual depth..not me 😂😱 Make Make of it what you will..

This is absolutely what is wrong with the watch industry. When you see this many watches in the secondary market office and not in a AD retail store it almost devalues the watch. This is precisely why the consumer can’t go into a AD and purchase a watch because they sold them all to guys like this. I will no longer purchase a Patek, AP or Rolex because of this, it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous seeing this many watches in the hands of a non AD. If your not offended then your not a real watch lover in my opinion.

Totally agree. Covid was also a catalyst for these ridiculous prices on the second hand market. I've often heard the saying that people have more money than brains and if they did not pay these ridiculous prices, they would come down. Look at the market for pre-owned G wagons. A dealer by me adds a premium of $50k-$80k on top of the pre-owned price.
