A Patek Philippe is never entirely yours
Yours is the pleasure of safeguarding it for the next generation
If this sounds a bit arrogant to you
Imagine that's the first thing a jeweler will tell you when you walk
in to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for a Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe has embodied humanity for over 150 years
Yes although many Swiss watchmakers also enjoy significant global prestige
none have managed to sustain themselves over time by manufacturing
crafting timepieces and upholding the prestige
quality and precision of a Patek Philippe
But at what point did this company gain such
prestige Who is leading the company today
And far more importantly are there really so many people interested in buying your exclusive watches
We’ll clear up all your doubts
But to understand their value and prestige we must begin
in cold Switzerland where
museums today display their works
The story of Patek Philippe would begin like this
Year 1839 Paris France
As monarchies across the world begin to collapse
The independence activist and politician Anthony Norbert Patek knew that to
maintain his wealthy lifestyle he had
to innovate with something unprecedented
To be honest his money might run out because he enjoyed living a lavish lifestyle
but he didn't actually have a profitable business that was delivering strong returns
Patek spent much of his life between Switzerland Geneva and
France where he surrounded himself with the circles of power
sipping champagne savoring the finest meats and wines
He regularly attended prestigious meetings parties and events
where luxury and class were evident at a glance
And that's how the idea struck him to create an appealing piece
capable of being used only by the powerful and those who had gold in their pockets to pay for it
In 1839 Patek took the first train very early in the morning
He was dressed elegantly in a suit and a
top hat his deer-hide shoes highly polished
A man whose refined demeanor and impeccable attire were immediately
apparent He traveled to France to persuade François Chapec to join his scheme
shaping a company that would stand out throughout the rest of history
The company's initial name would be Patek-Chapec
but the partnership between the two quickly dissolved
But Patek had it firmly in mind that it would be watchmaking that would change his life
It was once again in France that he won over Jean-Adrien Philippe
the man who had invented nothing less than the pocket watch
Patek didn't just offer to change the company's name from Patek-Philippe itself
ot only attract wealthy clients willing to pay any price for Philippe's
creations but also just like a Swiss watch operate with flawless precision
In Geneva they began a partnership that would produce the finest watches in history
The Patek Philippe watches themselves
They operate using a bobbinless system and additionally
they feature improvements in their string crown
They also created the handsetting system for watches
A design that remains in use to this day
But just as clocks never stopped for anything in the world
the friends and partners who dominated the Swiss watch market in Geneva
They too would die
And with them a part of the story we have to tell would begin
Buying success is also a business
The sibling duo of Charles and John Stern
They were responsible for producing high-end Patek Philippe
watch dials themselves through their company Katrang Steng Frech
And just as the collapse of the Wall Street economy in 1929 arrived
They would decide to acquire the company to combine two successful business ventures
The unique watchmaking traditions of Patek Philippe combined with the
distinguished horology of Gnaw How integrated with modern marketing methods
The company would begin in those years not only to evolve from
generation to generation but also to establish itself on the global stage
Patek-Philippe the company's modern name not only gained
prestige for producing the most expensive watches of the era
rather than having unique patents like the Gyromax balance
Philippe Stern son of Henry
He would lead the company's most prosperous era in terms of volume and revenue since records began
With the explosion of the television boom awards celebrities and entertainment alike
Those who wore a Patek-Philippe were not only famous but belonged to royalty
With an exclusive store in Geneva Switzerland everyone traveled to that country to buy their watches
As a result the Nautilus REV3701A model sold like hotcakes in 1976
And with the slogan one of the most expensive watches in the world is made of steel
Anyone who could afford it would undoubtedly buy it
The demand for Patek Philippe watches was so great in 1986 tha
The company decided to expand its portfolio for a store in
Paris France and years later it would do the same in London
Yet how is it that a company with only three stores worldwide handles sales in the millions
In 1989 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of its manufacture
Patek Philippe created one of the most complicated portable
timepieces in the world the Calibre 89 with 33 complications
It features a design with 12 dials 24 hands and 129 jewels
and more than 1 700 components in its own timepiece
All moving in pure harmony
o make this watch crafted from 18-karat
gold worth more than seven million dollars
But if your budget is a bit tighter and more modest we’ll tell
you that you won’t need to spend millions on a Patek-Philippe
Hundreds of thousands will suffice
Patek Philippe models
Nothing attracts a celebrity more than something eccentric and terribly expensive
That's why we're going to mention several models that
continue to sell for tens of thousands of dollars at auctions
El Calatrava designed in 1932 is one of
Patek Philippe's most minimalist creations
It features a white sphere and a round gold case
It is still being sold today
But those who own a 32 model carry pure gold
Nautilus model
produced in 1976 as a sports watch
It features a stainless steel case and
an octagonal bezel with a rubber strap
It is undoubtedly one of the best-selling models
worldwide AquaNaut is another of the most famous models
but if you're an exclusive client with exclusive tastes Patek
Philippe have no problem creating
watches equipped with chronographs
perpetual calendars and repeater watches
Are there any celebrities today who wear these watches
Lionel Messi has been spotted several times in Paris and Miami
Showcasing several Patek Philippe watches One of
them the AquaNaut Chronograph
is valued at $75 000
Yet he has also been spotted wearing models priced above 100 000
Other artists owning a Patek include Gerard Piqué
Sylvester Stallone and Mayweather
and none other than Ozuna reggaeton singer
But will these watches still be worth a fortune in the future
Today Theory Stern has made its sales increasingly exclusive
Only 400 official stores worldwide sell these items
And the company's assets exceed five billion dollars
