For $752,000 I would expect there to be no wobble in the second hand and if I were Patek's CEO I would never allow a video to be published that so clearly shows it.

1:55 The run-out on the seconds hand is absolutely atrocious and downright unacceptable, especially considering the price.

Quote...''A single particle of dust could stop a watch''. FFS...for £589,806 I'd expect my watch to stop a runaway train!

How can they make them so cheap?

the small arrow at 1:58 looks kind woobly, i dont think it should move like that on a 750 000 $ watch

The hand just above the word tourbillon wobbles. For $752,000 I'd want that fixed.

I love my Seiko for 300 Dollars

What! where I come from , some one could frigging employ 2 blokes 24/7 to tell you the time for 626.66 YEARS!!!

So what he means to say is you wont see Gucci mane application being approved for the tourbillion

1.50 the wobble on the second had is shocking on a watch that costs so much.

This video totally shattered my admiration for PP. The third hand(second) is definitely not in line with the centre. Even a $200 Seiko will not happen with this shocking QC. PP always been regarded the best watch maker in the world, but after this video I would never look at it again! What a joke!This piece of rubbish even took 2 years to make. I believe the technicians are wanking themselves! Hand wank but hand made!

I wear a Seiko I got for $60 bucks on Amazon. Works great and I saved $751940.00!

I had a $20 Timex that worked perfectly for 10-years and was still working when I replaced it with a Tag Heuer that does not keep as good of time.

Turbion +1 to -2 My Seiko SARB033 is running at -1.28 sec a day for the last 128 day. My Sub is running +1 sec for the past 6 months.

The wobble/run out on the second hand costs an extra $50,000.

at the highest level of luxury watches, quality is relative. ...and what I mean when I say this is that price is not an indicator of quality. So essentially, you're paying for the brand.

Wow,all that money just to be as accurate and reliable as a Casio Waveceptor! My Casio has been to war, stood on,dropped, dipped in all sorts of fluids ,frozen. Roasted ,you name it and it is still fabulously accurate and reliable. Comes down to how much watch do you need and how much do you want! Casio- in the real world it's all the watch you could ever need!

Americans are much better selling automobiles. This man is not the perfect choice for such a sophisticated watchmaker to represent.

1:56 The second hand's axle is bent or the hand is bent... For such an incredible pricey item, that is unacceptable and shameful.

Yeah ... for me like most regular people this is an insane concept . the watch is beautiful but very standard looking, 99.9999999% of people wouldn't even know what or who the fuck Patek Philippe is ... Yeah, you can buy this shit and then have it as a family heirloom or what ever ... but really? Family heirlooms I think should unique items never available again passed on for a few generations at least ... not just some expensive watch. I know there is a waiting list and that Patek guy him self "decides if you are WORTHY" of his watches ... but this shit retarded for me ... My family heirloom is a 13th century sword/kilic, ... I'd probably put more importance in a 5 generation old cheap vase with a good background story than a 700k$+ watch I just got with no real story or background But I understand mate ... if you can afford this it's probably not a big deal for you ... but most people in the world don't make that much in their entire life.... most people in the developed world work 30 years and earn that much combined in all those years (I don't mean in savings ... as in that's their all the paychecks they get in 10/20/30 years combined) That said ... want a HEIRLOOM, or something to pass on to your family .. how about you use that 700K to buy some property or something? Seriously mate .. I understand WHY etc ... but ... that 700 000 could help so many poor people .. it could do so much other things, create new businesses, jobs etc. Buy property etc. And I get some people love these things, it's their hobby, it's their passion .. I understand it .. but imagine a very wealthy collector of these watches ... he could probably have fed a poor country for a decade with all that money haha ... *I understand it's not everyone's responsibility to take care of the poor etc .. but a bit of compassion mate .. this is insane money for a watch ... 10k etc .. ok .. but for 700 000k you can buy a fucking villa in most countries!*

just picked one up in the phillipines for 2k pesos.

Amazing. When money is no object I'll get one. But its great to see that workmanship and detail is alive and well. Thanks for posting.

Hmmmm. 750k.? no thanks. I'll get a porsche gt3 (200k well optioned), a Nice solid gold Breitling or Audemars (50k). some nice hand made suits, shoes etc. (20k). plus 480k bank for travel meals etc. I mean if I wanted to blow my life's savings.

awesome i hope to have this beautifull watch.

I got sweet Casio calculator watch. It does division AND multiplication.

This is art, not only a watch, if you like watches to see the time, quartz and analog movements is the right option and you save a lot of money, like a good casio, timex, swatch etc.

i would imagine in the interview process they would ask you questions that only a avid watch enthusiast would know

"Very accurate" *Buys a smart watch*...

I like it how the seconds hand is not centered properly on this 750k watch

Its about time

Those minute repeaters Patek mouvements are fucking mesmerizing.

I'd like to see the The questions they ask on the application.

752,000 Dollars and the seconds hand is not smooth and wobbles like crazy. If you buy this watch, you are literally getting robbed.

What's the song that's playing? I really like it.

2:24 "Tourbillions tend to be +1 to -2 seconds a day" ...that means it could be off by as much as a minute a month!! Seems like a lot for a watch that expensive.

I’d love to see a breakdown of the manufacturing costs of this watch.

you ain’t gone never see any rappers rocking these

lmao. even if you have the bankroll to buy a 700k watch, they can easily reject your purchase if you're not up to their standards. It can't get more elitist than that..

I don't care how carefully they made this watch but if i have $ 752,000 i am not spending it on a stupid watch and WSJ need to get their shit together and find something interesting to publish

Incredible. Just as acurate as a Seiko SKX.

love patek philippe watches they pieces of art!!!! l wish l could own one!!!!

Im happy with my invictas and if i had that much, it might not go on just a watch!

It's a matter of time before the industrial precision of consumer electronics takes this to a level beyond the ridiculous handmade expense.

beautiful watch

i got two of them, they are awesome

i want a milli-second and second repeater so it sounds dingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingding DING dingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingding DING dingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingding when i walk 5 feet :D

My mobile phone watch tells me all the time I need to know. One time is the same as the other time; mine just costs me US$ 15.-, same time.

Doesn't the tonal quality differ with different metals used i.e. platinum or gold ?

it is in newyork,right?only PP factory service in Newyork , Hongkong, Geneva

For that kind of money they should have made the second hand indicator shaft straight down the bottom.

My Seiko 5, SNK809, runs +2 sec a day for $60. For 750K I`d expect a watch to be not just a second a day more accurate.

After watching this... feel like a scumbag for owning a replica but jesus what goals to have the real time piece! It really has benefited and inserted a new outlook of these watches to me.. paying for the craftsmanship and engineering.... to the facilities and the customer service... one day Patek..... one day

I wonder whether they have one of the Patek's

my tudor black bay in house is +1, @ $2500. i see all the seiko comments, but there are many watches out there with +1 for much better price. My dealer also complained, that even a 50k Patek is not worth it.

very nice

"Has to pass a series of rigorous tests: a sound criteria and a resonance criteria".... What about a wobble criteria Mr?!? Lols

Will it blend??

For a company that prides itself on perfection that seconds hand wobbling was a joke .

2:21 Nah this guy is bluffing on the accuracy.

Beyond Seiko's Higher end you are paying for the brand name.

Great watch maker but these prices just come out of a hat in the CEO offices. Been convinced of that for years.

0:29 George Lucas works there

That kind of money just to tell the time. Insane!

Not meeting the expectations. Check sequence at 1:58. This is a sequence where the second hand is shown in fast forward mode. To my surprise, one can clearly see a certain wobble or misalignment can clearly be seen. Would you expect this from a watch of this price? Any comments?

this watch better let me travel through time

pffff, the time on my phone does me, also I have an alarm clock woop! woop!

1:59, the little hand is wobbling on the axis.

This is a watch brand and others similar to it, are time pieces not even most average millionaires would be able to afford one. A low cost Patek can start in the range of $25K or so. There are valid reasons for this.

I can buy everything with this watch!

If I plop down $750,000 for a watch, I don't expect to be "approved" or not.I expect the watch I ordered.

Law of diminishing returns in an obsolete technology! This is simultaneous crazy and amazing.

@0:34 Larry looks like the AthleanX guy Jeff XD

Hand on a second subdial is wobbling (quality issue?) Pathek's US rep should have mentioned the name of Tourbillion inventor which was Abraham Breguet.

Don't worry everyone, Stern doesn't reject people from buying the watch to be an Elitist, he does it to keep the watch only among the Elite. ... That's some interesting double-speak we have going on here.

Pretty cool stuff.....(just a few hundred more than I want to spend)

Grand Seiko spring drive I would buy....

I love mine,worth every single penny

If every single person who's viewed this video donated $1 towards buying this watch, we'd still not be able to afford it.

too bad none of us will ever get the chance to own a patek like this 😔 but atleast we can get to own a preowned calatrava or some other under 15000$ patek 😁

1:55 ... funny that the small second is off center. Wobbling around like crazy.

"You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation"

"Not in an elitist way'... The idea that you have to apply to pay money for a product from a company is the very definition of elitist. What an inane way to do business.

Molto bello

If you only sell to enthusiasts to protect the brand it can only mean one thing - you don't want your product to be assessed in an objective way, because you know it would fail. So, thank you, but no thank you.

PP watches are totally Awesome.

The more balanced 36.8mm Ref. 5016 is better suited to the same old 27mm caliber of its newer but fatter brother. I.e., Notice how the leap year indicator is squashed against the retrograde date arc despite the larger dial compared to the original 5016. (Sigh. Using the same calibre for a fatter case is very unPatek.)

This watch is an astonishing piece of engineering, encompassing the tradition of one country in general, and one company in specific, inside it. Would I buy such a watch? Difficult question since I would never afford it. It is very difficult to decide and choose a side on this battle, the battle of life as happening and the life that should be happening (this is also arguable). Would I regret it if I had bought it and I was at the bed of a hospital living the last days of my life? Would it pass from my mind that I had the chance to use that money more wise and help other people? Probably yes. I would be more proud to be able to design and manufacture a watch by myself than to own a very expensive watch. However some people have money and it is their money that help science and engineering develop in some fields. Also, we must understand that such a watch is an investment of money, either we like it or not. I think noone can argue that it is a wonderful watch to look at and even watch it...

That's too much sauce

that watch is more than my fricking house

lol that wobbly arm... Everyone notices that shit when it's on a $752,000 watch

To all of you idiots saying that it is bent, pay attention the the lighting flicker. It is a poor quality video that appears to have been chopped up and pasted together.

I know that US is their largest market, but if the watch isn't made in Geneve, how can someone call it a Swiss luxury watch?

i will never understand why people spend more than a few hundred bucks on a watch

Good beater watch.

1:55- The small hand is mounted to a wobbling mechanism??

It's not stupid or offensive because no one NEEDS that watch it's just like any art to a collector paintings sell for way more than that all the time . For no reason other than to be admired

La mejor Marca de reloj del mundo

iwatch 4.- accurate for the milliseconds forever and costs USD 600. So I can have the iwatch, the latest iPhone, an Audi Q7 SUV, a nice ocean-going motorboat with 6 people capacity, plus an around the World holiday for all the family and still have some change left. Alternatively I can have a watch...

The amount of people suffering in the making of this watch is zero. Because only a fraction of the world will ever see a watch.

we created $700k watches that break when you drop them and are overengineered to tell analogue time...
