Knowing this exists, how can one enjoy wearing another watch? Selling everything and saving until I can own the only watch worth owning.
Wow Tim, this is the watch I've been waiting for you to review. Thanks a lot, you made my day. My dream watch!!! As always, best review specially for a watch of this status. Thanks my friend.
Hi Sebastian, I'm glad that I could deliver! I felt that if any watch deserved a truly in-depth ten-minute review, it would be a watch of this stature. Frankly, Patek should offer even more than what I've got here in order to showcase the watch and provide customers with a full overview of what they get for nearly $300,000 U.S.

Sebastian Palacios every watchmaker needs to take note; this is what every timepiece should be. You have impeccable taste, sir.
todd piasecki thank you Todd.
Perfect watch.
Wow I’d have to say I have a new favorite PP 🤤
It's a monster watch. All things considered, 40.2mm is anything but huge, and the watch's proportions are stealthy. This is the anti-Richard Mille.
Best,
Tim
It’s sooooo beautiful
Wow!!!
^This!

Tim

Holy mother of hell this is my grail watch

I wonder if Tim knows how much this watch destroys anything from Jaeger LeCoultre?
Google, "Hybris Mechanica."

Tim, can you source this time piece for an interested buyer?
Not bad but The 5004 is down right perfect .
36mm is impressive given all that went inside the 5004. Some will prefer this one for its broader and flatter stance, but the scarcer 5004 likely will remain a more valuable watch than the 5204 in perpetuity.
Best,
Tim
As an owner of all three colors of 5004, could not agree more: PP shit the bed with the dial on the 5204.
Love your videos Tim but why do you over use the term "Grand Complication" when it does not apply? I see you use it a lot on word descriptions and when talking about complicated pateks. This is not a grand complication on the traditional sense and you know that.
In this particular instance, the watch literally is part of a Patek Philippe collection called "Grand Complications." My staff creates these titles based on the manufacturer's name for the watch. More broadly, different companies have different definitions for what a grand complication wristwatch should be. Audemars Piguet doesn't count tourbillons of any description towards grand complication status; Patek generally includes anything that encompasses one or more of a perpetual calendar, tourbillon, split seconds chronograph, or chiming function (i.e., repeater or sonnerie, not an alarm). Classically, it would be a split/perpetual/chiming watch. Some believe that you can have a standard chronograph with a perpetual calendar and a chiming function. Personally, I'd argue that a grand complication can incorporate any two or more of the above; there is no codified standard for this. I spent last month's SIHH with some of the people on this panel discussing this exact subject: www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco/2013/07/09/what-is-a-grand-complication-watch/#5411370b23c2

Yes, Patek seems to have a penchant for the use of the term.. As for me, I'll stick with the traditional meaning and applaude AP and VC for respecting that as well. I'm not saying that this watch is not highly complicated, but missing the chiming complication automatically disqualifies it I believe. Maybe just the chronograph instead of the split, but not if it's missing the sonnoire, which I believe is the hardest complication of all to conceive and execute. Anyway, this has been argued for a long time and it's probably not going to be settle anytime soon. Keep up the good work.
that chin needs to go, almost perfect watch.
Grail.
Did you see a python anywhere?
Jokes aside, thanks for watching!

Too thick for me Timmer. Too thick bro!
TwentyOne Five all the more for us ;)
^ Grand complications don't come much thinner than this. Thinner complications *ARE* out there, but I appreciate that Patek didn't make this too thin; reliability is more important, and that suffered with the original 5004. Thin watches tend to be more fragile, and that is exacerbated once complications start being added.
Best,
Tim
Hey Tim,
I’m getting close to pulling the trigger on the JLC Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar. So everything I see seems thick to me these days.
I’m leaning toward the rose gold option but I’m wondering if there’s a bit of a rose gold fad happening now. May regret the choice. Doesn’t come in yellow gold. Best, NR
I wouldn't worry about rose gold being a fad. Gold is forever, and tastes for different colors move like cycles of fashion that always repeat. Two-tone was popular during the 1980s and 1990s; white gold was considered to be an old man's material in the 1950s; rose gold was out of fashion during the 1970s, and yellow gold is out of fashion at the moment. Worry about the long-term appeal of ceramic or forged carbon, not any precious metal. Buy what looks most appealing to you.
Best,
Tim
