Is Breguet as good as Patek?
1 Answer

Yes, Breguet is as good as Patek. These two luxury watch brands are universally heralded for all the distinctive timepieces they’ve brought to market. Breguet is known for high-quality craftsmanship and meticulous design, as well as the ease of use and portability of its timepieces. Patek Philippe has an equally strong reputation and is acclaimed both for impeccable craftsmanship and for crafting some of the most complicated timepieces ever created. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.
