Cartier Tanks are great watches and perfectly beautiful regardless of what Patek makes.

The back of the Patek is incredible but I still prefer the Girard Perregaux overall. GP make some really beautiful watches.

Girard Perregaux used to make modules and (just like Jaeger LeCoultre), entire movements for Patek Philippe. And as you have mentioned, Patek Philippe (not that long ago), used ebauches and complete movements made by Lemania, not dissimilar from Onega Speedmaster cal.1863.. They took Lemania movement apart, scalloped few bits, polished the gears to death, so that no one else, can ever service the movement ... and stamped it with PP logo.. So as in everything? You need to compare apples with apples and automatic movement with automatic movement. No doubt, Girard Perregaux do make fine manual wind movements in bi-compass configuration as well. It is just that in your case, Watchfinder has none of them in stock. It could be, because owners of GP watches .... don't want to part with them. One would hope, that for Girard Perregaux (makers of 3 bridges), being part of French luxury group Kering, will give them funding, needed to expand their range and to improve quality. Otherwise? Great review. Keep up the good work.

It's a funny thing that the high-end watchmaking community sets up expectations of absolute *perfection*. Generally speaking, I'm a firm believer in the concept of "perfectly imperfect". Part of the beauty in life is that true perfection is unattainable. Tattoos, for example: even with prefect execution by the artist, tattoos are bound to fade over time, to distort as your skin ages. This will surely bother many people, and those people won't get tattoos; I find peace accepting that "prefect" neither achievable, nor necessary to achieve beauty or satisfaction. I suppose luxury watchmakers aren't unique in aiming for utter perfection- Rolls Royce comes to mind. Pour enough time and money into something, and you'll get damn near close enough. (procrastination-fueled rant over, back to studying for me!)

For once a disappointing review: this comparison makes no sense. The correct GP to compare the Patek with should have obviously been the caliber GP 3800-0001 fully integrated manually wound chrono with column-wheel and 40 mm case. The back is as beautiful as the Patek's and it also features the jumping minutes at the front... That was the matchup I was waiting & hoping for!

I like the GP better - love the blue hands. There are stains or marks on the hands of both watches. On the second hand of the PP - bubbling of some kind. There is a stain, like something dripped on it, on the hour hand of the GP.

The Patek is just a work of art not only the front but the back! It is masterfull on the reverse and the work that goes into the movement more than justifies the price!!

GP has always been a personal favorite of mine, but I prefer their skeletonized movements.

Ive always love GP watches. They have so many unique styles and the movement is so smooth.

Patek luckily doesn't have as many colors as Lange from silver plate to yellowed bridges and ugly blue screws. Patek and Vacheron are both masters of finishing movements.

can you compare the Breitling Duograph to the Patek Split second chronograph

I don't understand how the dials on the PP are 'asymmetrical'. They are the same size and positioned symmetrically, i.e. the same laterally and horizontally relative to the center of the dial.

Uysisse Jardin, we have one from the 70s what can you tell us about the brand?

(Not enough stressed the difference between automatic/manual winding, it seems)

Simply gorgeous time pieces

Please review the Vacheron Constantin Phidias Chronograph, its a great watch, especially in gold

Not planning to buy either of these two beautiful timepieces, but, in relative terms, it’s like having a Sinn and an IWC pilot watches on the table. The latter gets deserved higher brand recognition and commands a higher price, the former is a better deal for those who know.

What about a look at various Flieger watches, like from Fortis, Stowa, Laco and IWC?

I haven't seen you review or compare a Jacobs & Co. Watch.

>For the designers As a designer, Patek's dial typography is just not up to the level and is the main reason i dislike the brand. Terrible whitespace management, weird font selection, low readability. That serif on the outside is awfully kerned, uneven. The enormous gap in "15" seems a result of automatic settings and lack of manual adjustments. Chronometer markings would be much more readable if the font was less vertically proportioned, now it's one giant mess of numbers. The "2" in the subdials has a closed loop on top because the ink merged at that size (to the naked eye that would look even worse). This is the area where Lange always wins and Patek is bad unfittingly for its otherwise strong attention to detail. GP is far more pleasing to look at in these regards.

The GP Seahawk aren’t the most rare, but this version definitely is one of them as it’s almost classier than the more militaristic designed ones.

I would get (my grale) - the Lange 1815 up/down for (a bit more than) half the price of the PP. Or for almost the same price as the GP, VC fiftysix, regardless of the hate on the movement. Or Kudoke 2. Love the high quality and content of this channel. The second best channel out there (2nd to Adrian @Bark and Jack).

1:42 why does the underside of the seconds hand look so horrible?!

I prefer the Montblanc Pulsograph (that Minerva calibre is gorgeous) to this version of the 5170 (J?). The 5170G, however, is perfect. Would love to see you compare a 5170J with the Vacheron Constantin Cornes de Vache 1955

Sheer class ! Both in design and execution !

Very interesting pieces at different price points for comparison, especially because try to achieve the same complications. If I am spending 5 figures for a mechanical...I want to see the internals no matter what.

Good quality channel for sure.

Initially, the PP doesn't seem to be a good value....but under magnification, it is entirely difficult to find a flaw. very impressive

There’s a tiny stain dot on the at H?

The date window could have been avoided and the dial looks a lot busier in the Gerard perregua

My holy grail Patek, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it

Could you please review a Patek Phillpe 5271p? To me, it remains the most beautiful piece of art ever made.

"Each and every one of the 269 components is elaborately hand finished..." At 3:45 you can see the burs thrown up by the tooth cutters, as they travelled through from the underside to the top, when it was being made; especially on the right hand wheel. I'm not wanting to sound like I'm big name bashing (Patek make some beautiful watches), but it looks like resting on their laurels to not stone off the burs, or the dag on the end of the small seconds hand 2:41. I do enjoy your videos very much :)

My Alpha 'speedmaster' column wheel chrono movement was a big, pleasant surprise when viewed right out of the box. Now I'm even more impressed with it. $170. Delivered. Brand caveat, my Alpha 'explorer' was a waste of money- Erratic accuracy, stuttering second hand, hacks but won't restart without shaking and tapping. Alpha (Hong Kong) says it's running fine as far as they are concerned.

Something is wrong with the second hand on the patek. Even at low mag about 2/3s up the hand is some sort of dirt.

OR or - the £10 iconic Casio f-91w with built in stopwatch alarm calendar and 10+ year power reserve with light up display

2:06 "the quality dosn't diminish even at the extremes". I think it does - SWISS MADE looks poorly printed! The ink is so thickly applied, the letterforms have distorted. This doesn't look sharp at all. And the typesetting is badly done, too. Big uneven space between the M and A in relation to the other letters.

Patek is worth 4x more, but that does not stop the GP from being a very nice watch. Especially the rose gold one with the ruthenium dial. There's also a very nice platinum cased one with a blue dial which imo rivals the Patek 5070P in the looks dep.
