Who is the King of Wristwatch
Who is the King of wristwatch? No one could give a definite answer to the question. The answer lies in each individual’s observation. In my observation, Patek Philippe is the answer. And I believe it is the compelling answer.
Established in 1839, Patek Philippe has a reputation of making highly reliable, completely exquisite, definitely complicated and absolutely beautiful watches. The famous Patek Philippe slogan: “No one can have Patek Philippe, but kept it for the next generation” illustrates the company’s attitude in watch making.
Each Patek Philippe watch is made under extremely strict process. From the draft design to the final product, it takes at least 5 years. Four years are spent on studying the design, while nine months are required in production. The rest three months is contributed to quality inspection. If the watch is to be made for a special person for a special purpose, it takes even a longer time.
With high quality and exquisite features, Patek Philippe watches are sold to many celebrities in the world. In its client list are kings, queens, scientists and artists etc, including Einstein, Madame Curie and Vladimir Putin, the former president of Russia.
Patek Philippe keeps the most expensive watch record in the world. Guess how much is it? The 1930 Henry Graves of Patek Philippe is auctioned at 11,000,000 US dollars. What a price! Could you imagine?
The enduring value of a watch is what Patek Philippe advocates. Patek Philippe watches are showing to the world that their nobility lies not only in their precision, uniqueness and excellence, but also lies in their endurance, permanence and eternity.
