4. Manufacturing watches that can be passed down from parent to child, across generations

The above points are some of the reasons.

Why are Patek Philippe watches so expensive? One of the main factors that could explain this is their production method.

Most of the watches are handcrafted by artisans, and many of them have magnificent calibers, and many of the movements have see-through backs. They can be considered a kind of work of art.

Another factor is the strict quality control of the materials. For example, when it comes to decorative diamonds, they only use diamonds that are graded D to F in color according to the 4Cs and IF (Internally Flawless) in clarity, which means they have set in-house standards that exceed those of Harry Winston.

Regarding repairs, Patek Philippe is a rare brand worldwide that has provided lifetime maintenance and repairs for its products since its founding in 1839. While many brands have limited warranty periods, its lifetime repair after-sales support is exceptionally reliable. This truly shows the dignity of the brand as a watch that will be loved for many years, transcending generations.

Due to these factors, Patek Philippe continues to enjoy enduring popularity and adoration, making it highly sought after in the market. Furthermore, because it is handcrafted, supply is low compared to demand, making it increasingly rare, making it increasingly difficult to obtain, and its price and value are soaring. Patek Philippe is truly a watch worthy of a lifetime purchase. At Yukizaki, we carry a large selection of both new and used watches, so please come and see for yourself the world of Patek Philippe.
