There are cheap watches that you can buy at every store and wear them solely in order to check the time. There are more expensive and prestigious models that look status and have impressive functionality. And there are also elite models for which you have to lay out a fortune. Patek Philippe Geneve watches are a brand that belongs to the latter category. Moreover, it is one of the best and most famous watches in the world. What kind of company is this? What kind of products are produced there? How does the Patek Philippe Geneve watch stand out from other models?
history of the company
Patek Philippe Geneve watches have a very long and eventful history. The fact is that the existence of this company began back in 1839, when two Polish immigrants, Anthony Patek and Francis Chapek, organized their own business in Switzerland - a watch workshop. The turning point came already in 1845, when they were joined by Jean Adrien Philippe, who turned out to be a brilliant engineer. It was thanks to him that many interesting discoveries were made in the field of watchmaking - and his creations were patented in such a way that only one company could use them. This is largely why Patek Philippe Geneve watches are unique even if they are put into mass production - no one in the world will be able to repeat what is being done in this company. However, it is worth noting that mass production is something that this company rarely works with, because the watches of this manufacturer are a status item that not everyone can afford.

This model is the most expensive of all that are now available on the open market. 164 million 280 thousand Russian rubles - this is how much this Patek Philippe Geneve watch costs. The original was made in 2014, and the series was limited - only seven copies were created. But why are these watches so expensive? Firstly, the watch case is made of pink gold, the dial is covered with sapphire crystal and the strap is made of alligator leather. It is also worth noting the buckle, which is made of 18 carat gold. If you look closely, the watch case is decorated with incredibly detailed carvings. The dial is rotated 360 degrees, allowing you to double the functionality of the watch. Speaking of functionality, this model has a huge variety of functions, from demonstrating a leap year cycle to the moon phase. Simply put, this is an incredible work of art, not just a Patek Philippe Geneve watch. Photos of this product fully confirm this.

In second place for the price is this model, which costs almost 78 million rubles. Its case is also made of pink gold, and the dial is covered with sapphire crystal. Just like the previous model, the strap is made of alligator leather and the buckle on it is made of 18 carat gold. However, the case is made much more simple, without carving and jewelry. As for functionality, it is also almost halved, therefore, to use this Patek Philippe Geneve watch, you will not need instructions.

In order not to demonstrate exclusively male models, it is necessary to pay attention to the most expensive women's watches of this manufacturer. Their cost is slightly more than 45 million Russian rubles. The case of them, although different in appearance, is also made of pink gold, the bracelet is also golden, and the glass of the dial is sapphire. This model is very refined and sophisticated, however, as in the case with the previous ones, not every woman can afford it. Of course, in this case the product is not limited, however, this does not make this watch less unique. They will look on the hand of any woman is simply unbelievable.
Other models
Naturally, the company produces a huge variety of very different watches, which are made from other materials. There are also quite inexpensive models - certainly, in comparison with the above, and not in general. For example, you can buy a watch even a little more than one million rubles. They will no longer have such a huge number of diverse functions, their case will be made of less noble metals, but at the same time they will still look very luxurious and stylish, respectively, worthy of the money that you spend on them.
The company also continues to release new models - one of the latest is the 5496P, which can be purchased for seven million rubles. But this is the model that you can buy quite freely. There is, for example, the model 7122 / 200R, which appeared recently, so it canβt be found in free sale. Thus, if you are interested in such a luxury watch, then you need to have a pretty impressive amount to purchase it. This is a unique brand that creates only the best and most advanced models, and also almost never makes production mass-produced, and for this it is valued all over the world.
