There is no other watch brand like Philippe Patek because these watches are simply the best you can get. One of these watches, a rare pocket watch, was recently auctioned to 11 million dollars. The bran made the Guinness book for the sale and proved once again its weight and value.
The company was started by Antoni Patek in corroboration with Franciszek Czapek. The next important milestone is the encounter with Adrien Philippe (the inventor of keyless winding mechanism). As history showed Patek was a businessman that recognized the huge potential Philippe had. The company produced some of the mechanism still in use today during those times most notable the “S" design for movement.
Along with Philippe’s talent there was a special moment which greatly influenced the history: in 1851 Queen Victoria and Prince Albert bought a Philippe Patek watch. This event immediately raised the prestige of the company and gave it a boost to international market.
The most impressive piece of watch machinery is the Calibre 89. This watch features 33 complications: day of the month, hour hands, 12-hour recorder, up-down chime, day of the week, hour of second time-zone, chronograph second hand, second hands, moonphases, winding crown position indicator, century decade and year display, leap year indicator, minutes hands, chronograph counter, power reserve, month, split second hands, thermometer, sidereal time hour hand, date of Easter, sidereal time minute hand, time of sunrise, equation of time, sidereal time second hand, star chart, sun hand and time of sunset.
Patek Philippe is maybe the most respected watch brand in the world. Their price tags surely show that ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per timepiece. Their technical expertise in watch making is getting bigger every year and many other companies pay for it. In fact Patek Philippe produced movement for Omega, Audemars and Piguet and other watch companies. A another option is to buy a replica watch or Phillipe Patek replica watch.
To have such a watch it’s a great thing unfortunately this is inaccessible to most people. We have developed a set of high quality watches that resemble the designs of Patek Philippe’s hoping to provide a accessible solution to most of the people. |
