      Besides no quadruple Gyroscoptic Tourbillon can be as precise as an Atomic Clock, which satellite time and mobile phone time are based on.

      You want phone calls, emails, texts and notifications to follow you around everywhere you go, get a cell phone or a smart watch. You wanna know the time and nothing else, get a mechanical watch.

      I'd rather get a 10 dollar Casio to tell the time instead of a phone. A phone you have to take out of a pocket and press a button. I watch I can just move my eyes and *look* at.

    • @GRAFHC
      @GRAFHC 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you watch the seconds hand at 9 o'clock, it appears to strike the hour hand and jam the train. This forces the watch to stop the transfer of energy.

  • @rickj8859
    @rickj8859 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    The key issue here, is that Patek Philippe .. unlike Omega, Rolex, Zenith, JLC ... and many others .... are not vertically integrated outfit. They buy parts and sometimes ebauches from the likes of ETA, modify them and only assemble them in-house. They might be great at hand polishing the parts to a very high degree, but that is "not a watch making". In past, Patek had entire movements made for them by the likes of Jaeger le Coultre and by Girard Perregaux, hence why not buy Jaeger le Coultre in the first place.

    • @49fiori
      @49fiori 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Everything is about the design. What makes Patek "the best" is that they have the most beautiful watches. You know that the colours Picasso used were not made by him? Also the canvas was not made by him? Also the brushes where not "in-house" he outsourced everything, but what he put together is what counts. It's very similar with watches, Patek Philippe is art. Look, I agree with you, if you really care about the mechanics of the watch, yes, buy a perpetual calendar JLC in stainless steel at unbelievable price. That's a great watch, but, it's not beautiful, like most of the JLCs. Iconic yes, but not beautiful (I have many JLCs) and I have many Pateks, when I put a Patek like 5970 on my wrist I feel like a God, when I put JLC on my hand I feel smart, because few people understand how good those watches really are, but when I look at it, I don't feel the love I get from the Pateks. Same as with ALS and even FP Journe (the closest rival to Patek). Also, to buy all of these watches, it costs money, a lot of money, so you want to make sure that your money is safe. For that reason I buy Patek. Also, I started to buy FP Journe because it's inevitable their prices will go up, probably faster than most of the Pateks today. It's the beauty of the product that counts.

    • @GrubblandeGrapplern
      @GrubblandeGrapplern 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If it is true that Patek doesn't manufacture their own parts, that's a pretty big stink on their name. Doesn't matter if their watches are among the most beautiful in the business. I'm really disappointed if RickJ are right about this.

    • @rickj8859
      @rickj8859 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @49fiori You are a snob. But basically right when saying that Patek make nicely finished watches. Coming back to snobism. It was a while back, when I used to put bi-metal Rolex Daytona on my wrist every time I wanted to test drive the new Ferrari. Purely, because salesman at Maranello asked me silly questions about what I do and what I am driving ... if I wore Omega.

    • @rickj8859
      @rickj8859 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @49fiori I have some 35 watches ... and had couple of manual wind blue dial Patek Elipsis a long, long time ago ... since then, I have progressed a bit, although not in the same direction as you obviously. FP Journe makes beautiful and unique watches, but I am more Breguet, Ulysse Nardin and JLC, or IWC sports watches guy. Although that I do have bit of everything.

    • @rickj8859
      @rickj8859 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Faustian Funk Look at Lemania movements in last year's manual Omega Speedmaster 1863 (Moonwatch) and compare them to some of Patek Philippe movements. The fabulous Patek CH 2770 movement is Lemania 2310 ... in everything but name. Even their $100,000+ watches use Swatch parts, or entire Swatch movements. Whilst I am not saying that other watchmakers like Breitling, or IWC don't do the same? They don't usually hide it. Half of Swiss watch industry use ETA-Valjoux, or Lemania movements, with add on modules by the likes of Dubois-Depraz. It is only in last few years, that major brands started to produce in-house movements (one type only, in most cases), whilst they still use ETA for majority of their watch models.

  • @dk8797
    @dk8797 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The only Patek Philippe worth considering as an investment is the 1518 in rose gold. With only 58 pieces produced in this metal, it's still a relatively high number compared to some other references, but given that production ceased in 1954, it's highly unlikely that many remain in perfect condition today.
    Regarding the 2499, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about this reference. While it is commonly stated that only 349 pieces were made, Patek Philippe has never officially confirmed this number. Credible sources suggest the actual production might be closer to 500 pieces.
    As for the 3970, it will never be a strong investment piece. The 5004, on the other hand, is an incredible watch and arguably the best-looking of the lot. For years, there has been speculation that its value would skyrocket, and while it has appreciated somewhat, I don't foresee the 5004 ever reaching $1 million. This skepticism stems from reports that Patek produced around 250-300 of them, but I believe the actual number is closer to 500. This includes approximately 300 standard models, 100 in stainless steel, and another 100 "unique pieces" or historical collection pieces for VIP clients. With such a quantity, the 5004 no longer holds the same allure for me.
    The 5970 is a beautiful watch, but like the 3970, too many were produced for it to be a solid investment. If you're looking for the best Patek Philippe investment and have the necessary capital, the 1518 and 2523 in rose gold are top choices. If you're incredibly fortunate, you might also consider the 1518 in stainless steel, with only four known to exist, or the 1563 split-seconds chronograph, of which only three are known to exist.

      It's sort of a tribute to the 1518, the first perpetual calendar chronograph patek ever made, so i guess it's sort of special in the lineage that way. My fav is the 5204 though, which is not in this video.

    An apartment produces at least 5%/year in rent and another 5% (min) in value. I have 5 replicas - 2 Pateks (1 a complication), Rolex, Breitling and a Cartier. About US1K each. Everyone says -"Great watch you have there, expensive eh?". Yes I say. "This one (the complicated Patek) I bought when I made the 1st million". Been making anywhere from 500k to 1M every year for the last 5 years trading sovereign bond futures. 😅🤣😂

    If you want the best, you buy Jaeger le Coultre, or IWC perpetual 100 year calendar watches ... and not Patek with 1 year perpetual (?) calendar ...
    after all it was Patek, who used to use Jaeger (as well as Lemania, Girard Perregaux and others) movements ... and not vice versa.

    I bet the typical owner of one of these Patek perp calendar chronographs brings the watch back to the store whenever he needs to set it. Unless he has a 13-year-old nephew whom he trusts to set it for him.

    • @jaime4022
      @jaime4022 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Jude Francis Ballares : ... Your point being? Your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Unless its sole purpose was that of telling the world that you own a Rolex? By your own logic, we could also argue that other people might stick to their timex and Invicta watches, because if you can tell time on one of those, then you don't need the 8,000.00 Rolex. Someone saying something like that here, would be every bit as unnecessary and nonsensical as your remark is. All this being said, did you not watch the video and noticed that these are perpetual calendars, and as such, they give more information than what you could gather from a regular three hand watch as most Rolex are? Do you understand what a perpetual calendar is? A mechanical watch that will give you the correct time, day, date, and year (some of which, as presented here, also have a chronograph function) without having to adjust them until around the year 2100? All this from a mechanical instrument? What comparison is it you are even trying to make here?
