Questions About Patek Philippe Lock
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 11, 2024
    Patek Philippe is the name of a leading Swiss watchmaker (it’s a company, not a person). The house was founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish expats Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek. Czapek left the firm, and in 1845, Patek partnered with French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe. Patek Philippe began operating under its current name on January 1, 1851. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Patek Philippe watches.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 1, 2024
    What is so special about Patek Philippe comes down mostly to the quality of the timepieces that the watchmaker produces. Skilled artisans make each watch entirely by hand, with a process that can take nine months for a very basic timepiece or up to two years for highly complex watches. The Swiss watchmaker also uses fine materials like precious metals and has a reputation for engineering very precise movements for timekeeping. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Patek Philippe watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

Skilled artisans carefully assemble the pieces at individual workstations, and every watch goes through a rigorous quality control inspection. It usually takes the company one year to make each watch. Shop a collection of Patek Philippe watches on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023

    Which Patek Philippe Nautilus watch you should buy is up to you. The blue-dial Nautilus 5711/1A is an incredibly popular model, especially as blue-dial watches are hot among collectors and fashion lovers right now. The Nautilus 5712R-001, with its alluring rose gold finish, is also a top model.

    The celebrated accessory is just one of the myriad watches conceived by brilliant Swiss watchmaker Gérald Genta for Patek Philippe. Genta designed some of the most striking timepieces of the 20th century. The original Nautilus, which debuted in 1976, featured an integrated steel bracelet, an octagonal bezel with rounded corners and a dial decked out in a horizontal embossed pattern.

    Find vintage Patek Philippe Nautilus watches on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 11, 2024
    To tell if your Patek Philippe is fake, look closely at the dial. Any flaw on the dial is evidence of fakery. Are the numbers in the right font? Are the hands the right style and length? Experts recommend that you examine a watch you're considering using a loupe and compare it with the same model in a reference book or auction catalogue.

    Created in-house and by hand, real Patek Philippe cases will feel substantial. There will be nothing slight or irregular about them.

    Yes, Patek Philippe is older than Rolex. The Swiss luxury watchmaker opened in Geneva in 1839. Rolex was founded 66 years later in 1905 in London, UK. In 1908, Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A. On 1stDibs, shop a range of vintage Patek Philippe watches and Rolex watches from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, there are fake Patek Philippe watches. One way to identify an authentic timepiece produced by the Swiss watchmaker is to examine the back of its case. Patek Philippe doesn't put reference or serial numbers on the case backs, but many fakes will display them. On a real Patek Philippe timepiece, you'll see either a Geneva seal or the Patek Philippe logo, which is a double P. You will usually also find markings that identify the type of material it is made from. If you're unsure of the authenticity of a particular piece, seek input from a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of Patek Philippe watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, you can buy Patek Philippe at retailers located around the world. The luxury Swiss watchmaker's official website has a search tool to help you find an authorized dealer near you. In addition, some trusted online platforms also offer Patek Philippe timepieces. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Patek Philippe watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, many Patek Philippe watches are made of gold. The Swiss luxury watchmaker uses white gold, rose gold and yellow gold to craft cases. In addition, you can find stainless steel and platinum timepieces in its collection. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Patek Philippe watches from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, some Patek Philippe watches feature gold. The Swiss luxury watchmaker frequently works with white, yellow and rose gold for its alluring timepieces. Additionally, there are Patek Philippe watches made with platinum and combinations of precious metals. Explore a diverse assortment of Patek Philippe watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    No country owns Patek Philippe. The luxury watchmaker, which was founded in 1839, is privately owned. However, some Patek Philippe watches bear the word “Genève.” This indicates that the watch was made in Geneva, Switzerland, not that the Swiss government owns the brand. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of Patek Philippe watches from some of the world's top dealers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To set a Patek Philippe watch, pull the crown out to its farthest setting when the second hand hits the 12:00 mark. The second hand will stop, and you can set the time by turning the crown until the watch shows the right time. Then, push the crown back in, and the watch is set. On 1stDibs, find vintage and modern Patek Philippe from top sellers worldwide.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022

Shop a range of Patek Philippe women's watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not you can get a Patek Philippe Aquanaut depends on availability. The luxury Swiss watchmaker produces only a limited quantity, and the watch is very popular. As a result, authorized Patek Philippe retailers may sell out quickly. Alternatively, you can shop various reputable online platforms for the timepiece. You'll find a variety of Patek Philippe Aquanaut watches on 1stDibs.
