Patek Philippe's $2.6 Million Watch: How You Can Own It 

"Are you worried about Apple watch?" Seriously? It's an entirely different market.

What hes really saying Is No fucking black rappers are getting my watch!

I can't believe she mentioned the apple watch. You can't compare that fad to a highly precise piece of art.

Big respect to Patek Philippe for caring about where their products end up. It shows that it's not only about the money, but also about the passion for amazing watch-making.

How can they allow her to insult patek with an apple watch? She needs to be disciplined to the extreme !

My interview: Me:How much? Patek President: $2.6m Me: How about $15? Security shows up

Patek Philippe interview, 1st question: "Vsy do you vant dis vwatch"? Potential client..........."Because I have owned Timex and Casio watches my whole life and I finally won powerball".

Comparing this masterpiece art with that kinda you know, consumer level technology? It's like comparing Renaissance artpiece with a pic you have download from the Internet.

Does she realize that even non Christian countries follow the Christian calendar?

I'm 32 and have a newfound love for watches. The CEO is a classy guy. I hope more men spend time researching and finding a watch they love.

Think Bloomberg could've sent someone who actually appreciated watches...or knows even a little bit about them? What an insult that she got to even be in the same room with that watch and with Thierry Stern.

I raged the second that unholy Wench touched that Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime

He was about to slap the shit out of her when she reached out with her finger. 3:12

This watch will be worth several more million 10 to 20 years from now

Wearing a 2.6 Million Dollar, 1 kg (2 pounds) heavy watch not only strains my bank account. Before I'm able to wear this monster I 've got to go weight lifting first!

"Maybe they will evolve and get a mechanical watch" haha love it, so true

if you take into consideration the insane levels of patience, skill, focus & attention to details it takes to build this watch, you'll appreciate why it cost what it does... the ppl who assemble it are artists in my opinion & the company has been around for decades

Awful interview, poor communication, over emphasis on "non-christian watches", and apparently not in any way a life long client... I never want to see this woman do another broadcast. The mute button was helpful for this video. Great Watch, Terrible Interview.

It's a good idea actually, many rich people see this watch just as an investment, because Patek is THE blue chip marque when it comes to collectible luxury watches. Mr. Stern wants the customers to wear it and appreciate its complexity and craftsmanship and not seeing it getting thrown into a safe.

I'm buying this for my daughters first birthday.

1xPatek Philippe 5175R = 2xFerrari LaFerrari.

Actually, there were seven to be made, but only six for sale since the seventh was for the Patek Philippe museum.

For 2.6 million it better be a time travel machine.

So... if you need a watch that tells time, day, month and moon face and you also get interviewed by their CEO, pay whooping $2.6million dollars, then you must pay $200 to your psychiatrist and get checked. Insanity has a limit, but this? This is beyond insanity. Do these people even realize how many kids sleep at night with anything to eat everyday? Sad and disturbing.

Funny to see the american interviewer's disappointment at 1:40 when the president answers that the strongest market at that moment was Europe and not USA!

the watch CHOOSEs its own master!

and Ding Dong Ding Ding Dong Dong means "watch broken"

All the respect to this man, aside the marketing and money aspect, he really cares about what he's doing, you can tell by the passion in his voice and the choice of words.

I love how they talk about the young generation wearing apple watches and maybe when they are 30 or forty, they will want a mechanical watch. I'm 17 at the moment and I am completely in love with mechanical and automatic watches. I intend to buy a Tudor black bay for my 18th birthday. I've been saving up since I was 16 and for me, it is a symbol that is you work hard you can get anything.

Did she REALLY bring up the APPLE WATCH in that conversation! Its like talking to Enzo Ferrari and asking him about the, well upcoming 'Apple Car'!! The ignorance of some people amazes me!

Lol. A $2 million watch that you can only touch with white gloves. I'll take a Koenigsegg Agera R instead.

The way Therry responded to the Apple iWatch question: he exudes class. I like him already. A real gentleman.

1 watch = 12 Ferrari California's OR 10 Ferrari 488 GTB ..... That's f'n ridiculous.

That watch is absolutely stunning.

"Are you worried about the Apple Watch?" Yes, because the smart watch market totally overlaps with the Patek Philippe market lol He's right though, if it encourages people to start wearing things on their wrist again and remind them of the existence of watches, it can only help long term.

At the end it still comes down to money. The reason why they are not selling this to some guy with like only 50 mill in the bank is that they can sell it to someone with couple of billion in the bank - to someone who allready has bought multiple very expensive other models and who keeps buying other very expensive models to be able to get he's hands on rare models like this one. This is something what the guy with the 50 million would not do. So to put it simply for every super rare model they sell, they sell a lot of other models. So what they basically do with that policy is that they play on superrich people egos where even though lot of motherfuckers in the world could afford it pricewise they just aren't allowed to buy it because they are not considered worthy - but he's special, he's the chosen one. The whole point - they don't give a fuck if they sell it to some asshole oil sheik who just wants this one because its the most something and cannot appreciate the craftsmanship - as long as he also buys like 5 million worth of other models also.

It’s not just complex. Each piece is made by hand from 1-2 hours to make one tiny piece. -there’s over 7000 pieces.

I got like 6 watches leas than 500 bucks each,some I own for many years,still working perfect and look espectacular!

Imagine snatching the watch from him and smashing it against a wall

The closest you would respectably go is "Would you ever consider designing a watch with electric components?" but I mean really, "Are you worried about the Apple Watch?".. That's just disrespectful.

It's truly a masterpiece, the most amazing watch with the most beautiful minute repeater, and sound, who ever owns it will be blessed.

The second she went from holding his watch with 2 hands to 1, you see he gets nervous haha

One should be sent out to space as a testament to our intellectual & technological abilities

Heres $2,600,000 cash Gimme the watch, No sir we need to interview you first. Ok, Bye will buy a Chopard lets see if they interview me with my $2,600,000 Suitcase.

I'd buy this watch on three conditions: 1- To guarantee that I will live for a thousand years at least. 2- To be able to afford it. 3- This man should successfully pass my interview.

Wow it has hours and seconds and do ding dong sounds !!! it totally deserves 2.6 billions

I don't care what u say wait till they do a cheap copy of this watch ....yeah I got the grand master chime....what ....200 doller job...looks the same but with out the price tag....I do admire pp for the craftsmanship...but come on that money could save lifes

It is almost disrespectful to have someone like this interviewing the president of Patek on the grandmaster chime...

I've always loved and been fascinated by watches... I wish I could afford one from Patek Philippe lol

Reminds me of the Ferrari F50 when it came out. IIRC it sold for a million bucks when it came out.

some things are sold their simplicity and some for complexity. why a watch should be boast of complexity , things used to be very complicated in older days.

I can afford only japanesse mechanical watches and they are very precise...

Reporter : 'So what you say is that you have spent 100.000 hours to make a mechanical wristwatch that can do most of the things a $20 digital wristwatch can do?'

Beautiful watch

Ill buy it for tree fiddy

Hmm don't know if I should go for the Patek Grandmaster Chime or Casio calculator watch...

1 kg watch ??? i can't belive it ! I LOVE PATEK PHILIPPE !!!

My $29 watch does exactly the same things last 19 years. What is the point of having the most beautiful, executive and experience watch in the world? And of the day still a watch and shows you the true time. LOL

I would never spend that kind of money in a watch. This outrageous.

2.6 million for a 100 000 hours of work!? Now that's value!

an awesome comment on humanity...

100,000 hours to build. So if a worker was to work all those hours and get paid 26 dollars an hour, the price of the watch would only cover the workers cost..?..that makes no sense to me?..literally i dont have a clue about what i've just written

Honestly Fossil had the right idea with the hybrid watch they have. It is mostly mechanical but has smart watch features to notify you of a notification with subtle info like lights and vibration and sound. I have an Apple Watch and LOVE mechanical watches such as Patek Phileppe, Rolex, Breitling, etc. I think Patek needs to work on a watch like that. Build quality of a beautiful watch and the ability to pair with a smart phone.

I have 3 vintage Patek watches. If purchase is only for repeat customers I'll qualify. My disqualification is the price point. I just don't want to drop; $2 Million for a watch at this time. I have many watches that I'd like to add to my collection. I've yet to complete having a watch from each of the; (Holy Trinity). Patek. .GOT THAT. Vacheron. .GOT THAT. Audimars... "Can't decide what I want.

OK. So it's official, this is the watch that costs Patek Philippe company to produce at least $2.6 million. So yeah, they are not making any sort of profit on this one. Great piece of art though! :D

$2.6 million dollars over 100K hours is $26 per hour over 2,000 people working on it comes down to them making .013¢ per hour. Yea it’s a marketing thing.

No microchips... Amazing

You can get a Veyron grand sport for that money

In the end of the day this watch will end up on Snoop Dog's wrist.Maybe Shaq O'neil will buy one too.

And here I am excited to get the $120 Casio G-Shock I bought online. 😂

I don't know why she brought up the apple watch. The current apple watch will be seen as outdated crap within the next few years while this will probably gain value.

I hope one can wear it outside, without body guards! What a creation though, wow!

Grande maestros una gran obra 👍👍 felicidades 🥳🎇🎂👀👌👏👏👏👏👏👏 🌟🌟👀

Amazing masterpiece

I'll stick with my Casio, it tells the time just as well.

Putting aside the interview and how it went. How does such an 'interview' with a potential buyer, hopefully, end up with a 'mutual agreement' IF a person with enough cash wishes to buy it? One could say that it puts the watch in its 'proper place' which, in essence, would mean that it isn't only exclusive, its also very selective in who can own one. Why can't a person with enough disposable income purchase it for it's beauty AND it's potential as an investment? Is this the way it should be? BTW ... I pose questions, not an opinions.

A 2.6 million watch which says ding dong when you want the date

So how is this different from a $100 Timex?

this is the oldest tactic in the book. create some hype over a watch. consumers will start salivating over being on the 'guestlist'. if your name is not down, you aint coming in scenario. the laws of demand will determine the price. im sure if 5 people got interviewed and all were prepared to pay an extra 3mill on top of the price, it will go to the highest 'bidder'. Patek will thus choose the highest price. So the interview process is just a marketing tool like he said to pump up interest.

i agree this is masterpiece

Just because a man invented a clock doesn’t mean time is real🧐

what a brand philosophy!

It is a nice daily beater.But the sales tax alone would be north of 150k.

Don't feel bad. My family has 7 Patek Watches; but, $2.6M is a deal breaker.

This is BULLSHIT!!! Ferrari wants you to go through the same procedures in order to purchase their cars. And, now, Ford (who likes to follow Ferrari) also wants you to beg (on top of spending your money) in order to own a new Ford GT.

That watch is fucking beautiful

I still think Omikron is where it's at. 1kg for a watch....are you serious?

Imagine if you dropped it 4 feet onto a marble floor. Oh the sheer horror. I like G-Shock watches but hey, Bill and Warren buy these for absolutely different reasons. And that would be exclusivity, respect, history, tradition, glamour, and European heritage.

2.6 million divide by 100000hrs equal $26 per hour labour. Not bad value for money...

My belt buckle flips around, so, I can have a black belt or brown. He talks like its some God Damned science fiction turned reality.

if i actually had the interview and purchased this watch, i dont even know if i would wear it.

"are you making any money off this watch? or is it more of a marketing tool?" "it's more of a marketing tool" lol

WTF apple watch piece of shit ....

But... will it blend?

I bought one and returned it, wasn’t too impressed 😒

The comments on this video are so disgusting? She's just doing her job and these men are everywhere calling her a bitch .....

alguien sabe como puedo ver el mecanismo? no se comondesmontarlo.

Yeah it takes a while to make those high end watches. He LIED when he says he doesn't make money on the million dollar ones. They're VERY complicated but not so much that he doesn't make SERIOUS dough.

This or the Bugatti Chiron? Same price. Hmmmm

Europe is a strong marked because alot of chinese travel to europe and buys the Patek here. Price is cheaper there than in China
