When we see the tremendous amount of work, expertise, passion, skill and so on, we can finally understand why the price of these machines is so high. The process is so time-consuming and requires very specialized workers, besides the limited production, all adds to make the price even steeper. When we imagine that the final product of such collective effort is concentrated on your wrist, that's when we start to realize all the value of such beautiful jewel, a Patek Philippe watch. Thank you, Marc, for this wonderful journey.
