More Patek Philippe Men’s Watches (Part II)

Last month, we gave you four of the top men’s watches in the Patek Philippe collection. The Calatrava, Complicated Watches, Gondolo, and Aquanaut are just a few of the best-selling Patek Philippe luxury timepieces that watch lovers have grown to love over the years. This month, we present four more Patek Philippe men’s watches to give watch lovers alternatives that are equally exceptional as the aforementioned models last time.

1. The Nautilus – Known as the classic and elegant sports watch, the Patek Philippe Nautilus watch was introduced in 1976 and modeled after the universal shape of a porthole found in most maritime vessels. It entered the watchmaking industry back when steel luxury watches started to become popular. The Nautilus symbolizes a strong design with unmatched personality and has become one of the most sought-after pieces in the Patek Philippe collection. The Nautilus collection features new Patek Philippe watches showcasing the flattering redesign of Patek Philippe while maintaining the original spirit of what made the Swiss watchmaker celebrated in the first place.

2. Golden Ellipse Watches – The birth of Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Watches in 1968 inspired one of the best chapters of horological history. The unique blend of simplicity and purity with boldness and formality has made Golden Ellipse Watches of the most instantly recognized creations of Patek Philippe. The elliptical design was inspired by the golden number, a ratio discovered more than 2,000 years ago. Perfectly balanced and visually agreeable, the features of the Golden Ellipse Watches have made it a flagship of the Patek Philippe collection and are certainly perfect for all kinds of occasions.

3. Grand Complication Watches – As stated earlier, complications are features that go beyond just telling the time and date. Complicated watchmaking is therefore the supreme test of watchmaking skills and expertise. Patek Philippe Grand Complication Watches are the result of masterful horological dedication and work, and are one of the world’s most complicated timepieces.

4. Exceptional Watches – Included in Patek Philippe’s collection of Exceptional Watches are the

5002P-Platinum and the Star Caliber 2000G. The Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref.5002 is considered the most complicated watch ever produced by Patek Philippe. It is the first double-face wristwatch consisting of 686 parts, some of which cannot be seen by the naked eye. It features a minute repeater with tourbillon escapement, a front side perpetual calendar, a reverse side sidereal time, and a case diameter of 42.8mm, just to name a few. The Star Caliber 2000G, on the other hand, is an enchanting pocket watch that results from eight years of painstaking research and development. Patek Philippe takes pride in the Star Caliber 2000G as pushing the limits of horological firmament. Six patents have been filed with the creation of this extraordinary mechanism, making it one of the most complicated pocket watches in history.

Patek Philippe watches are probably one of the most expensive timepieces in the world but the

complexities of the movements patented by the Swiss watchmaker make every penny worth it. Chong Hing Jewelers is an authorized Patek Philippe distributor, and also carries other well-known Swiss watchmakers such as IWC, Jaeger-Lecoultre, Omega, Panerai, and more.

Patek Philippe Men’s Watches (Part I)

In this blog, we always talk about Patek Philippe luxury watches and how every guy and girl would love to own one. We’ve also mentioned the different pieces of Patek Philippe watches that have made the brand so well-known over the globe, but we’ve never done so in much detail. So to give you some ideas about the top-selling Patek Philippe watches, we’ve compiled a list of the Men’s Collection of Patek Philippe luxury watches:

1. Patek Philippe Calatrava – The Calatrava watches from Patek Philippe are made of hobnail patterns or polished bezels showcasing the original Patek Philippe trademark. Watches from the Calatrava family are created out of the desire to showcase the avant-garde philosophy of aesthetics with sleek lines and subtle elegance. Introduced in 1932, Calatrava watches are considered as the flagship model of the Patek Philippe line. The Calatrava watches may be smaller or larger, which reflects the brand’s eagerness to adapt to the trends of luxury watches today.

2. Complicated Watches – Patek Philippe Complicated Watches have an additional set of functions that go beyond telling you the time. Annual calendars, dual time zones, and world time displays are just a few of the features Patek Philippe offers in its Complicated Watch series. Complicated as they may sound, these luxury watches that belong to this family have many features that are useful in everyday situations.

3. Gondolo – Launched in 1993, this line of Patek Philippe men’s watches is a contemporary interpretation of the Art Deco style. The name is actually derived from the “Chronometro Gondolo” watches manufactured by Patek Philippe for world-famous Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau between the years 1902 and 1930.

4. Aquanaut – Born in 1997, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut is the perfect luxury watch that combines casual elegance with technical perfection and uncompromising performance. The creativity that comes in the design arises from its modern form sporting a rounded octagonal shape. The strap reflects the surface of the elegant and attractive dial and the complexity of the case offers extra wrist protection for active Patek Philippe watch wearers.

These are just four (4) of the top men’s watches in the Patek Philippe collection. The brand also boasts the Nautilus, Golden Ellipse, Grand Complications, and Exceptional Watches. Chong Hing Jewelers, an authorized Patek Philippe retailer, promises to deliver the complete line of Patek Philippe watches both for men and women.

Advantages of Buying Patek Philippe Watch from an Authorized Dealer

When it comes to buying, customers like getting discounts and bargains. That is why there are flea markets, bazaars, direct sellers, online entrepreneurs and a whole gamut of other dealers outside of the original manufacturer. But when it comes to buying luxury items, buying from somewhere other than the original manufacturer can be a tricky prospect. Sure, it may be cheaper and possibly even easier, but are you really getting your money’s worth?

Luxury items, like Patek Philippe watches, are sold through limited and select dealers because of their value. If you are interested in purchasing a Patek Philippe watch, then you are investing a substantial amount of money for a premium item. Some shady dealer might tempt you with a “bargain” deal, but beware! Premium brands like Patek Philippe are expensive for good reason. If you are truly after value, then here are some reasons why you should only buy your Patek Philippe watch from an authorized dealer.

1. An authorized dealer can order special parts or accessories for your Patek Philippe watch. This is extremely important since each Patek Philippe watch is made individually and not as a product of a factory line.

2. An authorized dealer can add a one or even two year warranty extension on top of the manufacturer’s warranty. Additionally, the manufacturer’s warranty may also be honored by other authorized dealers.

3. If you buy your Patek Philippe watch from an authorized dealer and you encounter a problem, you can ask the manufacturer to intervene on your behalf whereas if you buy from an unauthorized manufacturer, you’re stuck with whatever service they offer you.

4. An authorized dealer can be trusted to provide you with top notch customer service. For example, take a look at authorized dealer Chong Hing Jewelers. Chong Hing Jewelers has been in the business since 1970 and is a trusted supplier of luxury brands like Patek Philippe, Chopard, Tag Heuer, and more, so you know you’re in good hands.
