I don’t know much about watches, but just as there are peaks in the field, whether it’s a bag or a car, there are also peaks in watch brands.
Patek Philippe is one of the world’s top five luxury watches.
Patek Philippe was founded in 1839 by an immigrant Polish businessman Antoire Patek and watch maker François Chapek, which was founded in 1839 by French watchmaker Jean Adrian Philippe. 명품시계 브랜드 순위
Patek Philippe, a company that has been a leader in watch technology since its foundation, made the world’s first minute repeater pocket watch in 1845, and introduced the first wristwatch with a non-stop calendar in 1925. 좋은뉴스
Until the middle of the 19th century, the inconvenience of having to insert and turn a dedicated key to wind a pocket watch was replaced with a simple crown structure. As Patek Philippe, the crown structure is still an essential device not only for winding the watch but also for setting the time.
Patek Philippe boasts the world’s best technology as it has 1,300 skilled technicians and goes through 1,200~1,500 stages of production by hand. It is a watch that you cannot buy even if you have money because the final decision is made on whether to sell or not.
Patek Philippe watches meant that celebrities could own watches after going through the same process, meaning that they can become customers only if they understand and share the artistic value of watches.
Left Astronomical Clock / Right First Calatrava
The representative line is divided into Calatrava, Golden Ellipse, Gondolo, Aquanut, Nautilus, Complication, and Grand Complication.
Calatrava
The pinnacle of simple dress watches, its name comes from the cross of the Knights of Calatrava in medieval Spain, and its elegant, timeless, understated perfection attracts new watch lovers.
Golden Ellipse
A design inspired by the principle of the “golden part” discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians, expressed in a ratio of 1/1.6181, this proportion forms the basis of some of the greatest works of art and architecture in history.
gondola
With a rectangular, tonneau or cushion-shaped case, the Gondolo Collection is a modern reinterpretation of the wristwatch design that was popular in the early 1900s, exuding elegance and antiquity at the same time.
aqua nut
Coming out as a diver’s watch line, but closer to a sports watch, the Aquanut line is water resistant to 120 meters, and the rounded octagonal shape of the Nautilus-inspired bezel is youthful and modern.
Nautilus
It is a sports watch for those who enjoy aristocratic water activities such as yachts by Gerald Genta.
The rounded octagonal shape of the bezel, the ingenious porthole structure of the case and the horizontally embossed dial give it a sporty elegance.
complications
It is a complex watch with a design that adds various functions such as an annual calendar, moon phase, dual time, and world time display.
grand complication
Patek Philippe’s ultra-high-end line has all the functions of a complication line, plus a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar, a function to mark the constellations and the moon’s orbits, and retro-grade indexes, all of which can be found in a mechanical watch.
