The Ultimate Guide To Accessories For The Modern Man
With their powerful engineering, unique design, stunning bracelet and intricate layout, both Rolex and Patek Philippe are a sight to behold.
But what draws everyone towards these incredible chronographs? Perhaps it’s the notion of becoming acquainted with history. Perhaps it’s the mechanics and workmanship behind their stunning pieces.
But whatever the case, Rolex and Patek Philippe have carved a name for themselves in the global market.
The question, however, is: which one should you invest in?
That’s a good question. The answer depends on your needs and what you’re looking for.
The Beauty of Patek Philippe
Did you know that Patek Philippe was the first brand to create the wristwatch? The Patek Philippe Calibre 89 is one of the most intricate wristwatches out there.
With more than 33 complications, it’s definitely a piece that’s earned its place in every collector’s list. Very few pieces have been able to compete with its marvelous, timeless design.
Brand Prestige
Patek Philippe is one of the most widely recognized brands in the world, coming in 3rd to Omega and Rolex. That doesn’t mean its watches don’t come with their charms.
In fact, Patek Philippe has been described as the “Rolls Royce” of Swiss watches. The brand’s worth has been estimated to be 1,885,000,000 CHF, according to Interbrand, an agency that estimates the value of vintage and modern watches.
Patek Philippe watches have been around for more than 178 years. Known for their super high-end designs, intricate mechanisms and powerful engineering, they’ve become a favorite of Fortune 500 company executives, Hollywood A-list celebrities, and top C-suite executives.
All of these brands provide their own watch polishing and other overhaul services which is an additional factor to consider when buying such new or pre owned luxury watches.
The Beauty of Rolex
Despite being “younger” than Patek Philippe, Rolex has carved a name for itself in the global market. Being synonymous with luxury with its bold, elegant designs, the brand has produced some of the most prestigious watches to date, the classic Submariner series serving as proof.
Brand Prestige
Out of 50 luxury Swiss brands, Rolex is regarded as number one. And out of all the Swiss brands in the world, Rolex is listed as number 3.
According to Interbrand, its brand value is estimated to be at 7,387,000,000 CHF.
Rolex has attracted attention from around the world, being endorsed by musicians, A-list celebrities, CEOs, and executives from around the world.
So, the question is: which one should you choose?
Both are exceptional brands and come with their own unique features. But if you’re looking for a watch that offers luxury and can be handed down from generation to generation, Patek Philippe is one to go with.
As their slogan goes, “You don’t own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”
If you’re someone who loves luxury, sophistication and adventure however, Rolex is the one for you.
