Here’s Why The Patek Philippe 6102R Costs £220,000 | Watchfinder & Co.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
When you’re travelling from one celestial body to another within the 100 billion or so stars that make up our galaxy, which itself is one of 100 billion galaxies within the observable universe, it’s nice to have something to remember your place amongst it all. Interstellar hitchhiker Arthur Dent had his towel to remind him of home; perhaps if he’d had £220,000 to spend, he could have had this instead: the Patek Philippe 6102R.

If £1 bought us the watch for one hour, we would have to wait 9,166.66 days or over 25 years for our turn to come round - and that's assuming 100% efficiency so it would have to work like clockwork...

What is astonishing to me is not only this man’s knowledge of the watches he presents, but of the incredibly detailed information during these presentations. This must require quite a bit of research for each video, and the channel keeps them coming on a regular basis. Bravo!

Needs a complication that jumps randomly to the number 42. That would be a watch worthy of 220K pounds.
It would look unreal if the dial was covered in Vantablack. Would truly look like a window into the night sky

There is a causal relation within a lot of people between interest in astronomy and mechanical timepieces in general and some in special that are capable of showing the context. I enjoyed this review very much though the watch itself came a little short.

Lol 🤣😂😆 most of the people commenting can't afford this watch without sacrificing a bunch of other things. So for us we need to be told why it's great. A song and dance won't get it. However to their target audience this bullshyt show is all it takes to sell the dream and watch😆
My two favourite things- watches and stars in the same story . Wish I could give this more than a thumbs up. Brilliant.
An excellent piece of micro engineering, worthy of the price being asked. Watches like these are exceptional pieces of mechanical art, and clearly the movement for this watch must have taken ages to research and eventually manufacture. This is one hell of a complication which explains the cost along with the manual construction. This isn’t your average mechanical timepiece, this is something very special. 🙏❤️
breathtaking is a word that best describes this time piece truly a horologist masterpiece

Patek is made by a human and at its best. Rolex use machines to make their watches.
Watches like this represent the epitome of mechanical art
This is not a timepiece, but it is an incredible feat of human injenuity and mechanical engineering brilliance. A beautiful breath taking piece, and eloquently demonstrated and explained. You have no rivals Mr Watch Finder 👍 Tam.

Incredible! That was a piece of mechanical art in the case of PP! Thank for demonstrating that!
The accuracy is more astounding than the watch itself. No two ways about it.
I would LOVE to see a time lapse of the movement. Would be very cool to see in go for a month (or even just a day or two). Thanks for the great videos.
Great watch! And good to hear your voice again!

It's a good day when watchfinder releases a new video .
Just a beautiful, astonishing watch to behold. Wish the paint was luminous, so this could be visible at night as well
I love watching this channel, I also love supercar channels. I'll never be able to afford either of them but at least I have a chance to see them.
Thanks for explaining this so beautifully.
I am more of an A. Lange & Söhne guy , but this watch just made it on the list
I’m a novice when it comes to watch collecting and horology. On top of that I’m locked in to a very strict and fixed income. It doesn’t allow me the opportunity to indulge in what can be a very expensive hobby. I know most of my dream watches are just as out of reach as this, even those at a fraction of the value. This is a beautiful timepiece and would love the chance to own one even just for a few days. Thanks for another video of an absolute beautiful work of art. Best wishes.
Beautiful watch, but that kind of paint job on that moon would be considered unacceptable on even a $100 watch. And the worst part is I noticed it before the close up on the moon. It would continue to annoy and haunt the owner of this watch.
I would love to hear/see more about the PP Packard. Have you published a “throwback” video for this watch?
Personally, the Patek Philippe Calatrava 5212a Weekly Calendar, is the ultimate business watch to have.
Brilliant, the ultimate context.
No matter which watch is shown, the narrator almost always manages to make me want that watch... thats some high level PR skills! :D

I'm rather envious that you got to spend time up close with this since it's basically my unobtainable grail watch from Patek. I'm not a huge fan of gold watches and I'm certainly not a fan of paying the Patek tax. If I had this kind of money to put into a watch, this might well be the one I'd buy.
