I meant 1851 not 1951! Whoops 😅
And I was hoping I could crack a time traveling joke as well, but I was too late. :)
I was so looking forward to correcting you on this one! Catch you in the next video, I hope.
I got to that point, played it two times to make sure I was hearing well and stopped the video. Big mistake and anything else on this one I take with a pinch of salt.
What kind of camera is that you showed in the video ?
@@johngreen6191 lighten up man, it’s not like we paid them to write produce and publish this for us
Another fun fact about Patek, they actually make the dials found in MANY big name brands, a fact they themselves keep under wraps.
"The Vatican appreciates a man who can be on time." Brilliant!
Great content each & every time. Thanks
Interesting stuff, thank you Mr Hands 👍🏻👍🏻
@N A yes, I was surprised it wasn't Alan Davies 😅👍🏻
Wow!
Love the history and facts.
3:30 for the money shot.... Absolutely perfect...
I don’t always enjoy history videos, but I loved this! ❤️❤️❤️ I love Patek! They make some of my favourite watches! Gah, id love to own the 7234 one day.
You are incredible, not only a great channel of your own, excellent collaborations with the likes of Paul Thorpe and Timeless Watch with the mighty 'O' (I can't spell his name either) but also dropping comments elsewhere. Brilliant Britney. 👏
I don’t always enjoy history videos, but i love you big yellow teeth!
That's the art of storytelling for you. )
Great video!
It reminds me of the time i visited the Patek philippe museum in geneva.
Wow, this one was simply brilliant. This build up was pure pleasure, a Stairway to heaven.
Great history lesson 👍👍👍👍
The true thing about Patek Philippe you’ll never be able to afford one.
A calatrava is not that expensive (Especially considering the prices Rolex watches are going for now), you can save for one.. but if you want something more complicated, then I'll agree with you
Yeah I would have a hard time justifying the price for a watch. I guess that’s why they call these watches luxury watches or aspirational watches. I feel like if I ever got one I would be too afraid to get it scratched or wear it sparingly.
Masterpieces. 🤤😍
A brand for the once in the know! For the one who don't need to prove anything... I'm lucky to have owned most luxury brands over my twenty years of collecting, including the modern independents, some are better in this, some are better in that, but the restrained elegance, the soul, charm, the wear comfort and the feel on the wrist, with all the horological mastery in one package can't be seen better than in a Patek Philippe watch!
So ALS is a brand for those twice in the know?
;-)
@@chrismuz No, Lange is a good looking movement and great finis, in a hockey puck case, with high unreliability(owned five of them), not even close to Patek accuracy...
Czapek is still a watch manufacturer in the Czech republic ,also 6:07
This channel is perfection
Ooh very subtle dig at our boi Nico 😂
8:20 The Pope gets a PP. The head of the Anglican Church has one (Queen Ez II) . The Dalai Lama was given on by the United States. I need to start my own religion so I can get my own Patek Phillipe. "Kneel peasants, the King of Atlantis wants his Nautilus!"
PP
@@gyulapanszky7805 Thanks, edited
0:20 Number 10 is lovely really.. At this price point, i would be happy to find this on the dial
Again great video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
The light hearted history delivery was excellent, the part about travelling in time was nicely timed after all a watch is a sort of time machine.
nice
Which region to choose for someone from India on your website?
If you “gift” your product to a high profile individual I wouldn’t say that person’s patronage carries the same (or actually any) kudos as a similar profile individual who’s actually chosen, sourced and paid for their PP…. I mean let’s be honest, I can’t imagine anyone actually turning it down! If “Liz” or “Vicky” (hilarious by the way) had rocked up at an AD with a bag of coins, actually with their own face on by the way, then I’d of been far more impressed 😉
“Barry from Eastenders” 🤣🤣🤣
Felt like an episode of History of Watchmaking Without Any Gaps.
Can anyone send me the information of the music I begging from all the video by watchfinder and couldn't find the answer. Even Goole assistant can't find the music 😔😢
The dates are all over the place; 1851/1951, millenium and a half/century and a half, 1989/1889...
Good thing history turned out that way. Patek & Czapek would have sounded like a comical duo from silent movie times. A well sounding brand name cant be overestimated.
There was no Pope Pius XV., yet. The last Pope Pius was Pius XII, but there was a Benedict XV.
It's a Babylon 5 reference
@@MerlinsTeaboy Cheers for pointing that out, was a bit confused.
0:29 anybody know this models #?
when i make my mark,all the watch makers are gonna want to comemorate my feat
Is 6:08 possibly a reference to Nico Leonard and his endless rants about rappers and their iced out, and thus ruined, extremely rare watches?
Not a huge fan of the nautilus tbh, but PP’s Grand Complications are simply stunning!
Good ole Lizzy and Vikki. 😂
why many horology marvels mostly made in swiss and not other countries is there particular reasons?
Omega 3861 is what everyone wants to try. And it's worth it.
A co-axial Speedy…very nice
Video of 2-3M$ value
3:03 Are you sure this isn't a replica?
Pope Pius XV? There wasn't one - the highest Pius (so to speak) was Pius XII, the Pope during the war. The longest reigning Pope was Pius IX -and, yes, he did have a PP. Patek was a keen member of the Zmartwycwstancy (the Congregation of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ). The ironic thing about the Calatrava Cross that is PP's log is that it has Islamic origins. The name comes from the Arabic Q'alat Rabah (fortress of Rabah), the name of a stronghold captured from the Moors in Spain
I'm waiting for "Everything you know about Timex is a lie".
Timex: One simple truth,... in the world of high-end watchcraft, Timex is ranked as the single worst watch making company in the whole entire history of both the known and unknown multiverse!
@@FunBunChuck I guess you never saw a Daniel Wellington or Hublot?
@@5stardave Worse than a Timex? 😱 Blasphemy!!
Why, that's like puking on the Pope,... 🤢🤮 on purpose,... 😈
I love Patek Philippe. I have four in my collection and just added the new 5236 In-Line Perpetual Calendar. It's amazing. It's a first for a wristwatch in the industry. They also made the first In-Line Perpetual Calendar with the pocket watch in the '70s but this is the first in wristwatch form. You can look at a watch but you can't fully appreciate it unless you have an understanding of the history and context.
Yeah knew all that but did you know the Pope wears his on his right wrist or does he ? Been a great week with PP thank you.
No. 1 is JLC.
Fantastic history! But oh boy, some very mediocre finishing in some of the macros.
Should definitely have used a script for this video...a good number of errors made.
th-cam.com/video/ciJ5Rlqw5wo/w-d-xo.html see 0:20 for that underhand roughness
you've told this story before, but not in so many words
Oh god this video felt like champagne
I saw another video review of this exact watch and it had the most quality control issues I’ve ever seen 💀 Only half the lume even shined
Since Czapek is polish name it should be pronounced as Chapek with "Ch" like in Champion. The name comes from the word "Czapka" which means Hat.
Chop-ek
@@EmJay2022 Chap-ek not Chop-ek. Czopek in Polish is something completely on the other side of the human than the hat. It's an ass-plug :)
@@TheMacanko You're misunderstand. An "a" and "o" in English is pronounced differently than in Polish. In the example of Czapek the "a" sounds like an "o" in English so if you want to show an English speaker how to pronounce it properly in Polish you spell it to them like I did "chop-ek". "Chop" as in Karate chop.
@@EmJay2022 I must disagree. I speak both - polish and english and chop-ek doesn't reflect how it should sound. But let's leave the complexities of pronounciation and enjoy the video.
@@TheMacanko So do I. "Chap-ek" like you propose is pronounced in English like chapstick (for dry lips). This is wrong. This is not how the "a" in Czapek is pronounced if you want the correct pronunciation in English. Chop as in chopping wood is how the "a" is in Czapek. I know I'm right and you are wrong. Your explanation is going to confuse people. You are assuming a's and o's are pronounced the same in english and polish
The last Pope named Pius was Pius XII. There hasn't yet been a XIII, XIV, or XV.
Don't say that!
I was hoping the biggest lie is the cost
It's Czapek (like Tshapek) and not Zapek, and he was Czech and not Polish.
@0:18, That dot on the 10 would drive me nuts! Patek Philippe 5960/01G is a 60k+ watch. I'm surprised that made it through QC...
That's because it didn't.. this happened when Watchfinder opened it, they're notorious for it.
I almost hit the dislike button, thinking it's a clickbait thumbnail, but after listening, I really enjoyed the history lesson... and big 👍
Does this mean they're a rip-off?
Even the exiled Dalai Lama is a watch lover and can repair watches himself. He once gifted Xi Jinping’s father an Omega watch in the 50s!
0:21 How come this Patek-Philippe timepiece got released to the market as it's obviously imperfect - there's a dot/stain clearly visible on black 'zero' digit. That would make me uneasy even with Casio watch, let alone high-end product...
I think it's dust.
@@tommasodeguio must be a BIG piece of black dust
I saw another video review of this watch and it was way worse, the lume only shined on half of the hour markers
@@GODOFLIQUOR 😬
It's when watchfinder opens the watch...
What about an in-focus about Vacheron Constantin instead of boring Rolex…
Love your videos, thank you soo much for them!
I was wondering if hou could make a casio video I understand that amazing watches make views
Correct Polish pronunciation of "cza" in Czapek is the same as "cha" in English name "Charles".
The 5960’s red hand is such a disappointment. I mean for a $60k watch this is such an oversight.
"1851"
3:04 1951
Yeah I was like “what?”
I saw the bubbles on the red hand....cheapo!
So you've gone and made Rolex your number one. So predictable. I had given you more credit than that... it's positively Hodinkeesque.
Quality of that red hand is disappointing for a so called best manufacturer. I prefare Vacheron Constantin
I love that American audiences will not have a clue about 2 out of 3 celebrity references 😂
And yet no mention of the fact the brand was almost sold to jlc who stupidly turned away the offer to buy the brand - sometimes the stories in these watch videos are abit like listening to your dad who tried to tell you something but doesn’t quite deliver the entire story but yet we still sit there listening until he’s finished before thinking to one’s self yea nice story dad but I already knew what you just told me and you missed afew key parts out 👍
I'm certain he mentioned this in the preceding video...
This isn‘t right,… this isn‘t even wrong!
You manage to bait my click without your titles being "clickbaity"
Seiko is number 1🤗🙏👌🏻❤️
Clickbait title unbecoming of Andrews channel, anyone who has done any homework on Patek Philippe knows this basic information...c'mon man.
It is not his channel
@@TheSnookerGym fair enough..the channel belongs to Richemont ultimately, the narrator and creative director is Andrew Morgan.
You clicked, didn’t you?
@@sameagle988 never like to miss an opportunity to hear Andrew's bias against Patek 👌 this (surprisingly) was one of his more factual videos free of opinion. But a stupid stupid title for anyone who is a student of horological history.
Seriously you put some knowledge and effort but showed absolute ignorance on how to pronounce "Czapek". It's so far from being correct that I hardly recognize any Polish sound in it and at the same time you have no problem with pronouncing JLC or any other well known foreign watch brand. As if lookin in google for phonetical expresssion was any problem. You know how it looks? Like Hip-Hop musican knowing nothing about watches but having 10 Rolexes teaching others what quality watch is. Not only Czapek was important historical person and formed Patek & Czapek brand but also "Czapek" brand was "reactivated" and their models are wonderful pieces of watch artisy therefore it really deserves to be pronounced correctly just like Jaeger Le-Coultre. You owe this little extra effort to community and watchmaking history.
Patek Philippe is one the most overrated brands in the industry. Most of their watches are simply average. Yes, they make nice things from the horological point of view but complicated models are often unwearable and simply ugly, less complicated models are often totally bland and has weird proportions. Finish of their watches is much below you would expect for that price.
Look at the case of Nautilus: they had to stop the production because people didn't care about other boring and unusable Patek watches.
Sick of patek patek patek
Click bait titles are getting worse, I’ve only clicked to comment and down vote. Used to really enjoy these videos. Not bothering to watch anymore, unsubscribed and channel blocked.
Dang.
