There are countless watch brands, and Patek Philippe is the first. Speaking of Patek Philippe, I have to mention Mr. Zhong Yonglin, who ranked first among the top ten watches in the "Watch Forum" that year, which set off a boom in Patek Philippe in China. In fact, before Mr. Chung ranked, Patek Philippe had already established an unshakable position. In its heyday, Patek Philippe even felt that there were too many brands that received the Poinçon de Genève, so it set up its own "Point de Patek Philippe" to set the bar higher.
 
Patek Philippe's status can also be seen from the price. Although there are different accounts of the highest-priced watches sold at auction in history, they are all from Patek Philippe. The more widely recognized are the Ref. 1415HU platinum, which sold for 6.6 million Swiss francs in Antigulen Geneva in 2002, the 1527 at Christie's for 6.25 million Swiss francs in 2010, although it seems to be lower than the 1415, but the latter is more expensive when converted into US dollars at the exchange rate at the time, and the most expensive watch in history is the 175th anniversary complication Ref. 5175 released by Patek Philippe, priced at about 2.5 million Swiss francs. In addition, the most expensive pocket watch ever made is the Patek Philippe Henry Graves Super Complication Pocket Watch; The most complicated pocket watch ever made was the Cal.89 with 33 complications, released by Patek Philippe in 1989 for its 150th anniversary.
 
The Patek Philippe Museum has always been a mecca for watch lovers. The museum has a collection of more than 2,000 unique timepieces, automatic music installations, enamel miniature paintings, and more than 8,000 books related to horology. To this day, the museum's collection continues to grow, as Patek Philippe's professional buyers often haunt the major auctions, and if it is worth it, they will be acquired regardless of the cost. It is no exaggeration to say that the collection in the Patek Philippe Museum is not a problem to take out a few pieces every year and reproduce them for a hundred years.
 
In the past, Patek Philippe also had a number that began with "1, 2", but after it was used up, it began with "3, 4, 5, 6, 6", where "3, 5, 6" was for men, "4, 7" was for women, and now the numbers are all four digits, and two- and three-digit numbers have been used before. Today's models with the suffix "96" are of a higher class and status than their contemporaries.
 
Almost every Patek Philippe piece is worth buying, but the first of them is the Caradelta collection, the epitome of a round watch. In fact, it is difficult to judge the Carajorva series, and only a few characteristics can be remembered: round, Bauhaus style, and the official bottom models with open and closed case backs are all Carazava, and the Paris nail bezel belongs to Carajava. Buying CaraTea, try to choose the watch at the end of "96", it is indeed a collection of classic elements of CaraAva, and the design has stronger product power in the same period of products, such as 5196, 5296, 5396, especially 5296, the public price is only 202,000 yuan, which is a very good entry choice. Another excellent entry-level model is the 5227, which is also a common Kara Zhuohua on the market, with an official bottom, 324 movement, large three hands and a date, three-dimensional hour scale, and a 39mm watch diameter that is more versatile, with a public price of about 250,000 yuan.
 
Patek Philippe Nautilus, since the design of Master Genta, after 40 years of development, has become the second largest series of Patek Philippe, you can't be called a Patek Philippe fan if you don't buy a piece, and those who buy a piece without buying a second piece are not considered die-hard fans. At first, the Nautilus could not be sold to the Royal Oak, because compared to the angular case of the Royal Oak, the Nautilus always felt slightly inferior in square and round. It wasn't until 2006 that Patek Philippe redesigned the 3712, and then sold the 5712T for 520,000 euros at the Onlywatch auction in 2007.
 
There are also two suggestions for choosing a nautilus: first, buy steel; Second, buy simple. I bought the steel model because the original design of the Nautilus was a steel model, and the design from the case to the strap was integrated, and the overall appearance was stronger than the belt model, and the steel belt of the Nautilus was more difficult to process than the belt, so it was more cost-effective. I bought a simple model because the Nautilus was positioned as a sports watch, of course, no one can deny Patek Philippe's ability to make complications, but the sports watch is still simple and pure. Whether it is entry or advanced, 5711 is recommended, the entry can choose the blue 5711/1A, the white 5711/1A-011, the public price is about 180,000 yuan, the advanced choice of the new 5711/1P, with a 950 platinum case, diamond scale, surface brushing, and 5711/1A is different, but the price is slightly higher, you can buy four pieces of 5711/1A.
