Hey Aluxers, which do you think is the most luxurious watch brand? ROLEX: ruclips.net/video/9IPJT2Yq60c/видео.html Top 10 Most Luxurious Watch Brands: www.alux.com/top-10-luxury-watch-brands-in-the-world/
You can walk into any high end watch boutique and just buy a Patek. The only ones that require an application are the rare complications that cost around $1M.
It's like buying a suit from a department store, one that roughly fits you. You pay and it's yours now. Having one tailored to your measurement, and done the style you want it, that will take time to do.
What I like about Patek is that the reason of it being expensive is about the craftsmanship, complexity and detail not just because it contains a lot of expensive precious stones. The essence of watch-making is being valued.
Wow, it takes 9 months to 2 years to hand make every watch. I want to work there. 1. Come to work. 2. Check log to see what screw is being put in today. 3. Long morning coffee with biscuits. 4. Put in 1 screw. 5. Long executive lunch. 6. Check the screw you put in previously. 7. Afternoon brunch. 8. Check log to see what screw will be put in tomorrow. 9. Quitting time.
I remember Patek Philippe from The Thomas Crown Affair with Steve McQueen. Something like 1968 or 69. I've wanted one ever since. You know God has a sense of humor when you have Patek Philippe taste and a Timex income.
Thomas Crown in 1967 (when the movie was filmed) did not wear a Patek Philippe. He wore an 18ct Jaegar-LeCoultre Memovox automatic cal. 855 that is just as good. I have the Patek Calatrava with the cal. 215 movement and wish Timex still made the more practical wind-up that listed for $11 when I was a kid. I will give you a thumb's though.
@@matthewburden9403 "Masculine elegance has never found a more pure expression than in the film’s first scene. Here, Crown checks his gold Patek Philippe pocket watch, which is hung double-Albert style with a fob drop." "Other than the Patek Philippe pocket watch, McQueen’s wrist sports two other noteworthy timepieces in the film. The first is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox and the second, that many consider to the definitive gentleman’s watch, and in this case, the perfect match to McQueen’s on screen ensemble, the Cartier Tank Cintrée." -- revolutionwatch(CopDom), August 3, 2020, Thomas Crown’s Affair with Style and Timepieces (With your wonderful Calatrava, I'm guessing you don't need a third thumb.)
Corrections: 1. Not all PP watches are application watches. 2. Not all PP watches are rare .. you can walk into any PP salon and buy any watch they currently have on sale , yes you will most likely not get the rare pieces but they do have some that are not that rare that you can find in the boutique.
I could not agree more with Mike on this one. This watch isn't simply a watch. It is a priceless heirloom, meticulously crafted by Patek Phillipe and his assistant, Jesus Christ. Patek's affiliate company, Les Pretentious Doux, supplies Patek and Jesus with only the finest gold, silver, platinum, diamonds and unicorn tears to assemble these timeless works of art. The wrist band is made from dragonscale and minotaur hide and was saddle-stitched by Abraham Lincoln... postmortem. The centerpiece is forged purely from platinum and the souls of starved children; children who didn't deserve to eat because they did not have one of these classic gems. Perhaps the greatest feature of this watch is its time-telling feature. The good people at Patek wanted to ensure that their customers have only the finest watches when they decide to not give anyone else the time... and why would they? It's their time, not that lowly cretin's. This watch's value is unparalleled and makes a great addition to any collection of jewelry, accessories, clothing or Nazi memorabilia. At just over $100,000, there has never been an easier way to say, "I am better than you and you know it."
Yes, I wanted to buy a $30,000 patek and I had to go through their nightmare application process. I finally got rejected and kicked out of the store because my TOEFL and GRE scores were low ...
Arash Ghasemi really, you were rejected by the Patek Philippe process? My ant bought a Patek Philippe, and he passed on the process, and he is a layer, and you are an engineer
I'd say more like a Volvo to Rolls Royce. Nothing wrong with the Volvo, it's consistent, reliable, well made, and reasonably expensive. The Rolls Royce, however, is exactly how you can describe Patek.
Toyota = most reliable cars on earth. Rolls Royce = Luxury, overpriced fancy garbage which runs right up to the first Friday, after the warranty expires.
Dear Alux, you only need to apply to buy a Patek if it is of some sort of grand complication such as a Skymoon or Minute reapeater. I just bought my first Patek, a 5370, last month from an AD and no application was needed. Other than that good video, cheers.
This is one of the best attempts at high end ego-stroking I have seen in a long time. The narrator has a highly developed skill in delivery and the underlying references to elitism and narcissism together with carefully crafted visual imagery are used as foreplay before the beautifully timed references to resale values reassure the prospective owner that when they tire of their toy they are in with a chance of turning a profit when they dispose of it in favour of some new affirmation of themselves. Very well done Alux.
My timex ranger is a beauty. 40 mm hardened plastic with a domed acrylic crystal. 20 mm cow leather band with an aluminum buckle. A magnificent Japanese quartz movement with 30 meters of water resistance. A uni directional bezel with acrylic painted numbers. Just pure class.
I can proudly say My father owned a Patek Phillip watch. But he sold them for good price. I’m talking about 25 years back. He was an antique watch collector and that how I have an immense love for a good watch. I was lucky enough to flick longines watch which is now 60yr old watch. Anyway back to patek Philip watch; I never knew that only few have or posses them. I wish I had flicked his patek Philip rather than the longines 😝🙃
I just watched/enjoyed a video showing the amazing workmanship that goes into creating a Patek Philippe Grandmaster watch. It is amazing to see some of the craftsmanship, quality & time that is takes. A joy to see such a treasure Instead of the usual mass-produced Products. A true work of art!
A client of mine showed me his Patek he is a collector very interesting to listen to him about the history about the PP ... he never told me how much he paid for it .
That's why I like Patek Philippe. They seem to be the only big brand brand left that does everything by hand still. I feel bad for Rolex watchmakers. All those skills and what do they do all day? Only putting the machined bits together. True Rolex is on '85 or before to me.
Their are many fine watches that people can choose for whatever reason motavates them but I think some people miss the point when they compare a Rolex with a Patek. Patek Philippe is not only the most iconic brand but they have contributed so many iconic references & are responsible for so many firsts in horology that they really have no equal. Take the other 2 brands from the " " Holly Trinity ", AP & VC both nice but a case could be made for replacing both these brands with brands like Breguet, A Lange & Sohn or Jaeger Le Coultre. AP & VC have had ups & downs through out their history & even used movements not made in house, take AP for example their company is esentially built on one model, the Royal Oak, Patek has a very broad line to choose from to satisfy all tastes.. True their are these small independents like Richard Mille that are expensive & produce very few watches but they are no Patek. If you wanted to go the independent route I would sugest looking at FP Journe or maybe Ressence. Rolex is a great ultra rugged, classic tool watch & to compare it to any one of these other brands is completely missing the point its should be appreciated for what it is & you won't be sent to watch hell for liking more then one brand. This comment is directed to John Smith in good faith, A Patek Nautilus is a real head turner & any one that appreciates watches would be impressed if you were wearing one & it can't be mistaken for any other watch on the market, talk about iconic ! As has already been said here before, it only matters what you think, the people that appreciate fine time pieces will notice, who cares what the others think.
I visited a Patek Philippe dealer a number of times and did not know that they required an application. I was looking at watches that cost less than 100K and will find out when I decide to purchase a watch.
13. "...they also do not participate in product placement for film or television." No, but it was mentioned on Entourage season 4 episode 12, where Billy Walsh receives a Rolex as a gift, but says "I could accept it, but I got a gold Rolex from my parents for high school graduation. But I love that Patek Phillipe your're rocking." And get's it later from a guy who wants to buy his movie.
Application or not i would not be able to afford a watch like this in 3 life times but i do love learning about Patek their design and quality is just incredible i kinda envy people how can afford to wear a watch like this not because of price tags some watches that cost 1 million i would never wear even if i had money (Hi Richard Mille) but Patek is just spectacular.
I inherited a Patek Philippe. It needs a minor repair and the repair is going to cots me more than I have spent on all my previous watches and clocks put together!
As a Patek owner; I have a Patek that was made in 1947. It is more accurate than my Rolex DateJust made in 2001. The Patek matches to the second to the Atomic Clock within a week. (Rolex is off by 6-8 seconds in that period.)
i still dont get why the term 'hand finished' and 'handmade' is used to describe an object of higher quality when in reality, human hands are far less precise than machines.
Vincent Ivan Tanaya I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be taken as ‘higher quality’ per se but it definitely means that a lot of time and effort was put into creating the watch. I do understand and agree with what you are saying though.
because we are social animals and we value what other people make and more what it took them to make it (the struggles, the suffering). If you want to go to a dark place you could imagine selling your only childs, that died in some tragic turn of events, only painting for 100 million dollars.
This is in need of an update. The $24m paid for a Patek in this video has been surpassed this year (2019) by another sold at auction for over $31m Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is missing from the list of owners and she has more than one. Her Majesty wore a Patek at her Coronation in 1953.
The new Patek Philippe auction record is $31,200,000 for "PP The One, 6300A-020". The 1,366 movement complication timepiece sold this past November at Christie's Manhattan.
I would say Breitling's are for two groups of people 1. People looking for a watch to last them a lifetime with the economy to reflect the purchase price 2. People who are willing to spend several months salary on a watch as a statement of wealth that does not reflect their actual economic status. I own two Breitlings and it is a brand tainted by a lower class who try to flaunt their "apparent riches" with this brand, shame for a brand with an otherwise great reputation.
No-one said the world was anything different, snowflake. Classes are a social construct and don't necessarily have intrinsic value but the reality is what it is and why we value brands are because of what they represent. To buy something of distinct class is an attempt to elevate one's perception in the eye's of others. The "class" a potion of the high end watch market, in particular Breitling and Rolex seems to attract is that of the low income "class" who buy a watch for up to a years salary to give the appearance of wealth. There is sometime's and overlap between a true aficionado and those who simply wan't to flaunt their "wealth". Capitalism is a load of social trickery to create value judgement on arbitrary measurements of materialistic affluence, but it is one you've bought in to, by no less than clicking on this video, so you can pretend not to be a part of this "vile" system, but that is all you would be doing is pretending not to see things for what they are.
I know a guy who is a big Breitling collector and admits he sold a swath of his collection when the flaunters started up now he only keeps his historic and precious models like the L19022 and the J49350 but day to day he still has a titanium Avenger to take a beating...he makes almost £3million a year
I have directed a 30 min documentary about the biggest collection of Patek Philippe watches and his owner who's name can't be revealed. The collection will be shown at the design Museum in London from 13 to 16 December 2021. I didn't know a lot about watches and I rarely wear them, but after having made the documentary and spoken with the watch experts and other people involved, they infected me with their unlimited passion for watches.
the Dali Lama received his Patek from President Franklin Roosevelt, not Kennedy. He was a little boy when he received it; very young child leader. Roosevelt gave it to him as a thank you for allowing troops passage through his country during war time.
Not so much an application but a lot models do require to be put on a wait list, with the 2019 ones being up to 5 years and being a previous customer of the AD. I do remember that the Sky Moon Tourbillon required a application and interview by the Sterns to be put on a two year waiting list, same as the Ferrari Testarossa...
Firstly, Patek Philippe is not 'one of the member' of the Holy Trinity, it is the HEAD of the Holy Trinity, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin are the other (lower) members of this Holy Trinity, which is the Holy Grail of the ultra luxury segment.
Once a model was screaming out that she is a proud owner of a Patek Philippe and after watching this information I came to know what was the faunting fuss about.
Jaeger l. C. Cartier, Rolex, Breitling, Omega ( Patek, Odemars, and all other french sounding Wristwatches are Queer - Arserapist Showpieces when they go dogging or Cottaging, perving in General )
I have a Bulova "Moon Watch" with a more interesting back-story than any PP. It is UHF quartz, accurate to approximately 10 seconds A YEAR. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 50m. $300 from Amazon.
Sorry but you are incorrect, not all Patek"s are application pieces, only their most special watches fall into that catagory and almost entirerly from their grand complication line. Vacheron and Audemar are very fine watches but not what they once were. Their are many nice watch brands to please all tastes but the truth is Patek and Rolex are unique brands and should not be compaired. Patek being at the very top end of horalogy and Rolex being simple movements purpose built like a tank but really for the most part the only two watch brands that appreciate in value. If you have money to burn boy what moves you but Patek and Rolex needs no excuses.
Wyd January? 😁working on a Patek. Wyd January 30th? 😄Working on this Patek. Wyd September? 😒 Working on this watch. Wyd the following year? 😬😩 Working on this! Damn! Patek!!

Santiago Del Rio how absolutely insightful ?! You offer a new perspective that hasn’t been considered. Please keep spreading your information !!
She didn’t say you couldn’t, to buy direct from Patek Philippe requires an application.
Good luck walking into any high end watch boutique and just buying a 5711.
That is what I understand too!

Those not worthy of receiving a Patek Phillipe have been known to burst into flames when attempting to apply for ownership .
LOL! That's some sense of humour. Nicely written, tongue in cheek.
One does not have to submit an application to buy a Patek, many luxury stores in the US are authorized dealers, how absurd to state such a thing...)
Many watches such as the grand complications take applications to buy

Vincent Ivan Tanaya I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be taken as ‘higher quality’ per se but it definitely means that a lot of time and effort was put into creating the watch. I do understand and agree with what you are saying though.
because we are social animals and we value what other people make and more what it took them to make it (the struggles, the suffering). If you want to go to a dark place you could imagine selling your only childs, that died in some tragic turn of events, only painting for 100 million dollars.
I got to hand a 1920 era patek philippe manual in platinum...my cousin sold it for 135k php...
Patek is NOT one of the biggest players, it is THE biggest player.
Whenever I think of Patek Phillipe, I feel like I can hear Takeoff screaming it in the distance
Feels very lucky to have one....
just got my hands on a nautilus
This is in need of an update.
The $24m paid for a Patek in this video has been surpassed this year (2019) by another sold at auction for over $31m
Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is missing from the list of owners and she has more than one.
Her Majesty wore a Patek at her Coronation in 1953.
The new Patek Philippe auction record is $31,200,000 for "PP The One, 6300A-020". The 1,366 movement complication timepiece sold this past November at Christie's Manhattan.
It's amazing what people will do if they believe they will gain credibility, status and approval from others.
Patek is my dream watch
i think patek was endorsed in the movie non-stop which featured liam neeson
Thank you ALUX, I do appreciate the information about this brand, can you do one about Breitling👍
I would say Breitling's are for two groups of people 1. People looking for a watch to last them a lifetime with the economy to reflect the purchase price 2. People who are willing to spend several months salary on a watch as a statement of wealth that does not reflect their actual economic status.
I own two Breitlings and it is a brand tainted by a lower class who try to flaunt their "apparent riches" with this brand, shame for a brand with an otherwise great reputation.
LHswe "Tainted by a lower class" what a vile thing to write.
No-one said the world was anything different, snowflake.
Classes are a social construct and don't necessarily have intrinsic value but the reality is what it is and why we value brands are because of what they represent. To buy something of distinct class is an attempt to elevate one's perception in the eye's of others.
The "class" a potion of the high end watch market, in particular Breitling and Rolex seems to attract is that of the low income "class" who buy a watch for up to a years salary to give the appearance of wealth.
There is sometime's and overlap between a true aficionado and those who simply wan't to flaunt their "wealth".
Capitalism is a load of social trickery to create value judgement on arbitrary measurements of materialistic affluence, but it is one you've bought in to, by no less than clicking on this video, so you can pretend not to be a part of this "vile" system, but that is all you would be doing is pretending not to see things for what they are.
I know a guy who is a big Breitling collector and admits he sold a swath of his collection when the flaunters started up now he only keeps his historic and precious models like the L19022 and the J49350 but day to day he still has a titanium Avenger to take a beating...he makes almost £3million a year
Hey Alux!🙋 thank you for this you're the best! this is my favorite watch brand hands down 🙌
I bought a patek today!
I have directed a 30 min documentary about the biggest collection of Patek Philippe watches and his owner who's name can't be revealed. The collection will be shown at the
design Museum in London from 13 to 16 December 2021. I didn't know a lot about watches and I rarely wear them, but after having made the documentary and spoken with the watch experts and other people involved, they infected me with their unlimited passion for watches.
the Dali Lama received his Patek from President Franklin Roosevelt, not Kennedy. He was a little boy when he received it; very young child leader. Roosevelt gave it to him as a thank you for allowing troops passage through his country during war time.
I can't wait till I get that 5980 💰
I own a Patek Filippe 1987. It's platinum , square case and bracelet .
the video i was waiting for...
You should do a 15 things about omega
finaly PP is here
Not so much an application but a lot models do require to be put on a wait list, with the 2019 ones being up to 5 years and being a previous customer of the AD.
I do remember that the Sky Moon Tourbillon required a application and interview by the Sterns to be put on a two year waiting list, same as the Ferrari Testarossa...
... come and GONE...
There will still be people who think that they’re the same as a 15$ casio
awesome I plan to buy one ,
I would love to own a Nautilus with a blue dial.
I own a very nice Longines watch. Wish I could own a Patek Philippe !!
I was in Bahrain. And I saw one up close. 16,000 Bahraini Dinars. The beauty of this is second to none.
.....until you hold a Breguet.
i've been looking for 5711 Blue Dial Patek for so long and haven't found one, so yes their watches are incredibly rare !
Luke Sofian you gone find it
i have a 5107G its awesome
Bella Riley im sure theyre mostly fake
Having met PP, I can tell you they are probably the most humble watch company too.
Steven UK1 When did u meet them?
Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek (both imigrants from Poland) created company named _Patek, Czapek & Cie_ 1 may 1839 in Geneva
A dream watch.
Firstly, Patek Philippe is not 'one of the member' of the Holy Trinity, it is the HEAD of the Holy Trinity, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin are the other (lower) members of this Holy Trinity, which is the Holy Grail of the ultra luxury segment.
Once a model was screaming out that she is a proud owner of a Patek Philippe and after watching this information I came to know what was the faunting fuss about.
i want to start my watch collection and have decided to start with a patek philippe. so which one do i start with? suggestions please
I am very lucky to own
The patek Philippe Neptune
Gold & Stainless steel automatic
Only in the shops.
Jaeger l. C. Cartier, Rolex, Breitling, Omega ( Patek, Odemars, and all other french sounding Wristwatches are Queer - Arserapist Showpieces when they go dogging or Cottaging, perving in General )
I've seen Patek Philippe in the movie Non stop 2014 on the wrist of the copilot.
do Tag Heuer, please!
I love my seiko watch 😎
I have a Bulova "Moon Watch" with a more interesting back-story than any PP. It is UHF quartz, accurate to approximately 10 seconds A YEAR. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 50m. $300 from Amazon.
Patek Philippe was featured in a TV series called "Person of Interest" it was a dual face complication.
Sorry but you are incorrect, not all Patek"s are application pieces, only their most special watches fall into that catagory and almost entirerly from their grand complication line. Vacheron and Audemar are very fine watches but not what they once were. Their are many nice watch brands to please all tastes but the truth is Patek and Rolex are unique brands and should not be compaired. Patek being at the very top end of horalogy and Rolex being simple movements purpose built like a tank but really for the most part the only two watch brands that appreciate in value. If you have money to burn boy what moves you but Patek and Rolex needs no excuses.
Do video about hublot
Wyd January? 😁working on a Patek. Wyd January 30th? 😄Working on this Patek. Wyd September? 😒 Working on this watch. Wyd the following year? 😬😩 Working on this! Damn! Patek!!
