Having apprenticed at both Patek Phillipe and F.P. Journe, the young watchmaker specializes in tourbillons (mechanisms that counteract the effects of gravity on watch movements, increasing their accuracy). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are wondering if there are any watches under the million or even the thousand dollar mark in Patrick Getreide&#8217;s watch collection, the answer is a surprising yes. &#8220;Right now, one of my favorite watches is a Bristol [pilot] watch,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was 170 euros, and I think it is very nice.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/rolex\/jewelry\/watches\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"623\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-623x950.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-623x950.jpg 623w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-230x350.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-79x120.jpg 79w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-768x1171.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-1008x1536.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize-612x933.jpg 612w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/OAK-Collection-Rolex-Ref.-6036-Jean-Claude-Killy-Crop-Resize.jpg 1312w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Rolex &#8220;Jean-Claude Killy&#8221; chronograph ref. 6036 is named for a French Olympic skier who was a fan of the model.
