Loved your very last sentence .... "Using it just to read the time, without appreciating everything else about it, is a bit like using the Mona Lisa to cover a stain on the wall." Well said 😊
Very true, that's an excellent punch line I also picked up. These guys are even better writers than watchmakers and when we see how much knowledge is displayed on watchmaking, this is rather quite a talent.
Believe me you don’t need to use such titles for these videos. These kinds of catchy and trendy titles other UA-camrs use to play with the algorithm drive me crazy. I don’t want these titles to change as well! It’s extremely undeserving for a channel of this high quality; just let natural viewers come. Great video either way.
he 100% doesnt need these titles for his current subs, but non watch people will be drawn to this title like flies to shit, but non watch people wont like most of his videos... so its a bit confusing
A. B. You have a point that it could possibly expand the hobby or attract more enthusiasts, but I don’t believe a bothersome and trendy title change is the best way to do it in regard to nearly all accounts. It’s also so cheap to boil down this video or any other great video he’s made to, “Watch expert reacts to...” just like some of those irritating UA-camrs. I believe I also saw this point on another comment, but these kinds of titles don’t seem to fit the sophisticated level of the content. It feels very out of place.
@@AndreasTunney I have a great idea. Start your own channel and title it exactly how you want. Then you can sit back and read people's critiques of your hard work in the comments. It'll be fun. Enjoy! x
The title is a joke...the man is winking at, and having a laugh with, his audience. (Or so he thought....he’s probably now realizing how humorless this crowd is)
@@edd2771 well I do think it was an attempt to get younger people into the hobby, and I can see where they got their ideas from, because I'm 16, and I'm used to get asked "why do you where a watch? They're so pointless!" A shame really, so I don't think it's as bad as some others make it out to be!
This channel, together with xkcd, is one of only two sources on the entire internet that absolutely baffle me by their ability to make consistently excellent content in an unbroken and unrelenting stream for weeks, months, and years without even a shred of variance. I don't understand how you haven't run out of award-worthy content at this point, but thank you to everyone involved, and keep up the absolutely fantastic work!
This is pure art , no one needs a mechanical watch anymore but to look at the movement in a watch like this is its own reward , it's fine art that happens to be a watch .
I have been watching this channel for a few years now, and I just love seeing all these watches that I could never afford to buy. Keep up the good work on sharing these watches for us that can not afford them, so we can enjoy them too.
Absolutely stunning. That watch is stunning. That movment is beautiful and absolutely mindblowing to me. So many different types of of movements and the calendar is staggering.
@@zafran20 It is the classical clickbait title, you know with the keywords "reacts" "incredible", the price, etc. which you find everywhere on youtube.
Such a masterpiece i was wondering how many people will say in a hundred years would actually lay eyes on this masterpiece or any masterpiece ..i will say not very many..
Beautiful Time Piece!! Excellent Attention to Details!! The engineering involved with the complications - I’m in awe of of the build quality and how the Watchmakers assemble and build such a Gorgeous Accurate Mechanical Time Piece. Plus, each Time Piece is Perfect!! .
I am a wrench monkey. I turn wrenches and repair broken machines in my factory. I was under a car with my dad when I was 6. My mom was furious when I would come into the house covered in grease, oil, dirt, bleeding from half a dozen scratches and a grin. The more complicated the machine the better. So naturally watches of this caliber are the pinnacle of my love. Changing the starter on a Caterpillar bulldozer is one thing. Assembling parts you have to have a 12x loupe just to even see is on a whole other level. Like a high school football player in the Super Bowl. Just the best of the best. Liked and subbed.
I Iove watches,l don't know why, but I do! I own 2 watches, one cost me 9 dollars, it's digital and solar powered, the other one was 60 dollars, it's a casio electric but with hands, which is nicer than digital.l don't have much money, but I am so happy with them, ty for your comments on the Patek- Philip. It's a work of art,a real chef-d'œuvre,merci!
It would be nice to have a little documentary about time and humanity. From knowing am to pm too Quantum Physiology. How the time pieces held on to history.
To my knowledge, the crown was invented by Antoine-Louis Breguet in 1830. "On 30 December 1830, Breguet sold to Comte Charles de L'Espine watch no. 4952, equipped with a knurled button in the pendant which fulfilled two functions: setting the hands and rewinding the watch."
I'm not sure this Patek is finished to a degree that is worth $200k. For example @ 2:25, you can clearly see the bottom of the "4" not aligned well on the spiral dial, @ 2:42, the 8 on the upper left has a small pip missing from its lower circle on the upper left side. @ 0:17, there is clearly an indent/mark on the clock works on the brass colored metal, at the lower left side. Also, at the same 0:17 you can see what looks like dust or scratches on the gear in the middle of the screen. @1:10, there is a small bubble on the 45 marker (between 40 and 50). These are just some examples. I know these flaws only show up on a Macro lens, but for a $200k Patek, I am disappointed. That being said, it is a gorgeous watch.
Aaron Britt Despite your attention to detail, I suspect you may have missed that Watchfinder are “the pre-owned watch specialists”. They can only show the examples they have, which by definition have been used and serviced and will bear evidence of same. As for the dial imperfections, these are done by hand. Would you prefer robot perfection, or would this too preclude the watch from justifying its price? If so, there will have been no pleasing you, which I suspect may be the real problem.
Ed D I agree with your sentiment, but have seen better by-hand dial’s and less imperfections from brands like Credor, A.Lange & Söhne etc. That had $30k or $50k price tags, with much higher quality. Just disappointed in this specific example, and think they could have had better quality control with this watch.
Yeah masterpiece..... For master idiots.... Voutalinen, dufour, smith maybe masterpiece, lange, moser and patek = same quality of rolex, hand finished industrisl watches.
I think it would be great it you featured Christopher Ward's single pusher chronograph compared to some of its older and more expensive swiss counterparts. Either the C900 or theC9 ME 109.
The video title is a joke people!!! Those decrying it as a clickbait title pandering to the great unwashed clearly haven't been fans for a long time of the channel. Sharp witty wordplay is the hallmark of this dude, and a major reason for the channel's success. There are plenty of watch experts out there, but no one else with such humor and class and a nod to both history and pop culture. I mean c'mon - a few months ago he started his video with "Thissss is..." a clever reference for car geeks who follow Doug DeMuro's car channel.
I love the camera work on the skeleton mechanism ..any chance of some slo motion gyroscopic tourbillion action? That would be something ...big up the show.
i remember a couple years ago, a 5711 steel went up to the price of this. Now, this is still worth $200k, but the 5711 down to 100k. That is because this watch ain't about hype. It's pure horology and the intrinsic value is the quality of the watch cannot be taken away.
I had a beautiful accurist back in 1998. I know its just an accurist.. Battery but it was incredible. 4 buttons and it had data chromo.. Everything.. And it was all automated with buttons... No crown. Beautiful blue sunshine face... Ogld and steel strap. It was the business. Ahead of its time... Never seen anything like it since
It is a beautiful watch, but I would trade a couple features for an automatic movement so I don’t have to wind it every few days. Then I would not have to start resetting all the functions if it winds to a stop.
Amazing, amazing, amazing I am so glad that there are still people in this messed-up world who value perfection from their own hands,ty! and God bless you! God is perfection.
Who CARES what the title is? It's a masterful video just like this watch. It doesn't affect you what the channel calls these videos, or the sort of audience it brings in, as long as you get some value out of the videos. I know I love these videos not for their titles....nor do I give a single shit about who else is watching them
The 1851 is the year, that Patek Philippe was established e.g. way after number of well known brands. And whilst Patek Philippe charges fortune for a 4 year calendar, you can get 100 year calendar from IWC, or JLC for substantially lesser amount of money and the similar, 4 year calendar with chronograph from the likes of Breitling, for lot less.
Rarely do I ever see a watch I would genuinely enjoy owning, this has to be everything I want in a watch. Too bad my broke ass will have to put up with my G-Shock!
Glue a hi-res image of the Patek’s movement on the back of your G-shock and pretend! After all the G shock has an annual calendar (maybe even a perpetual one?) and a stopwatch! EDIT: Know what you mean though: this Patek is both everything you need and want in a watch.
It is a shame you spent so much time talking about the history of Patek Philippe and the concept of Perpetual Calendar, rather than talking about this specific 5270/1R and what differentiates it from other PPs and ALSs for example. Though as usual, great videography and story telling

its to expand the audience to help the channel be sucessful
Humorless horology buffs of the world relax! IT. IS. A. JOKE.
Lady, you should stfu, it’s non of your business how he titles his own videos.
I say old chap, these boorish titles are a bit... shall we say, low class. Uncultured, indeed.
even watchfinder is getting in on the meta titles, thumbnails next!
[GONE WRONG] [SEXUAL] [18++]
To be honest. I don't think those titles fit such sophisticated content.
It just feels out of place...
Well I hope it's a one off, there's already some backlash in the comments, but in my opinion it doesn't bother me "Too much"
Is it waterproof?
Moon true, but all that counts on yt is views.
Love that PP offers this on a bracelet..sort of takes on a sporty look despite being the monster of complications that it is. 5270 is a masterpiece.
This is pure art , no one needs a mechanical watch anymore but to look at the movement in a watch like this is its own reward , it's fine art that happens to be a watch .
Not quite the Casio F-91W review I asked for, is it?!

Absolutely stunning. That watch is stunning. That movment is beautiful and absolutely mindblowing to me. So many different types of of movements and the calendar is staggering.
This is a piece of art. If I might own such a piece I would spend my time watching the perfection of each part.
I get off of work, arrive home and wow, a notification from Watchfinder and Co. SWEET!!!! Thank you for another fine video about a true work of art.
In EU it’s 7:00 am when he post it
i never grew tired of listening to your voice over, its truly unadulterated joy so earorgasmic in nature
Would be interesting to put one on a timegrapher and publish the result. But no-one seems to do it
Beautiful and Very Awesome Timepiece!! Thank You For Your Thorough and Awesome Presentation!
I think the title was a joke from his part, don't take it too seriously.
What is the problem with the title? I honest dont know.
@@zafran20 It is the classical clickbait title, you know with the keywords "reacts" "incredible", the price, etc. which you find everywhere on youtube.

Luca Barone but this watch is realy incredible.
I love that the day date apertures are consistent with the rest of the dial, meaning they're black with contrasting white numbers/letters
I wanna watch this video on a 75mm IMAX format.
Such a masterpiece i was wondering how many people will say in a hundred years would actually lay eyes on this masterpiece or any masterpiece ..i will say not very many..
I like the analogy of the watch being like a painting not just a tool to tell time
This is interesting-I am very appreciative of this particular Patek, and the macro hasn’t revealed any flaws-impressive.
1:40 ish, between Patek Philippe and Geneve. Im sorry, i was sad too!
@@perandersaasheim5209 Ah man. I thought we'd get away scot free this time with a finally perfect Patek. Shucks. Thanks for pointing this out.
4:07 there's a black speck on the scape wheel

Nice video as usual. Would you mind presenting the 5235G from Patek ounce? Such an understated watch
Probably the best video of Watchfinder I've seen 🙏
Great video and an amazing watch... thanks for bringing us both!
How is it different than 5270G 001? Other than the external materials used.
What a magnificent piece.
One of the most beautiful watches in the market
My favourite watch from Patek!
Watch is breathtaking!Awesome filming
Pure joy of mind and eye....thank you
hi, what is the small date window for? and the little whte window? thanks..
No problem with the title. Great work as usual!
This watch is a master piece . Can't wrap my head around how those mechanical components can archive all that.
Respect to the brand !
What a perfect way to start the day! Thanks you
As usual a pleasure to watch your video. Thank you
1 of my 3 favorite Pateks ever. GG Patek
You knock it out of the park every time.
Nice... Reeeealy nice! Maybe missing automatic mechanism... Indicator for spring tension... Some fully jevel gears...
Final reification, watch is not for telling time, but is sculpture. I love sculpture.
This watch is just an object of desire. The bracelet is gorgeous
You honor a artistic watch like this with your monologue.

This is not a watch. It's a Masterpiece.
Agreed.
It's also a reason to chop someone's arm off and steal it
Yeah masterpiece..... For master idiots....
Voutalinen, dufour, smith maybe masterpiece, lange, moser and patek = same quality of rolex, hand finished industrisl watches.
@@ilya399 Hi Ivan. What do you think about Vacheron Constantin?
7khon yes. It really depends on which country you’re in😂
I need one of these, and all the trimmings behind wearing that kind of watch might be nice. For a change I can believe in.
Poetry on mechanical artwork.
Wow!
Self proclaimed watch expert. Nice
Finally learned the art of the catchy title have we? :D
Awesome video, thank you.
Really a great 👍 watch but what is the difference between 5270 and 5270 R as the R is somewhat cheaper?
I think it would be great it you featured Christopher Ward's single pusher chronograph compared to some of its older and more expensive swiss counterparts. Either the C900 or theC9 ME 109.
Would love to see a video on the 5270p salmon dial.
Does this $200,000 watch have a scratch on the dial right above "Geneve" between N and E?
statuswan Yes. Yes it does.
Yeah, it's totally not a 200.000 usd quality check...
No such scratch that I can see and watched it at different angles, sorry.
The v lovely 5270! Nothing short of a masterpiece. Great vid as usual but change the title it’s undeserving to both the watch/channel
Love this one

Franz Ampo 😱
no, is a very small spider hair.
Could be on the sapphire crystal, it's one of those things that you can't unsee no matter how much you try
TIS BUT A SCRATCH!
I looked at it with my loupe and see many dial imperfections. It may be my screenshot. Looks really bad up close.
I like the Mona Lisa comment at the end 😎
It's beautiful. Great review.

The Salmon version 5270p is worth dying for... a future classic
Always loved Patek, if I was offered the cheapest Patek over a more expensive Rolex ‘model’ I’d go for the Patek any day!
PP is different league to Rolex
I own this watch in Platinum, it's amazing.
Brilliant review.
IT WOULD BE A MIRACLE!
It is a beautiful watch, but I would trade a couple features for an automatic movement so I don’t have to wind it every few days. Then I would not have to start resetting all the functions if it winds to a stop.

Love the pilot gmt
The 1851 is the year, that Patek Philippe was established e.g. way after number of well known brands. And whilst Patek Philippe charges fortune for a 4 year calendar, you can get 100 year calendar from IWC, or JLC for substantially lesser amount of money and the similar, 4 year calendar with chronograph from the likes of Breitling, for lot less.
Awesome macro views - I love it - also an awesome watch
The 5270G is my grail watch... I'll settle for a collection that has either a white 116500ln or grey 116519ln and a 5119G :)
Best piece of Mechanical Engineering on the Planet
Great presentation and a great watch.
Thank you :-).
Im sure Hong Kong will be off that supplier list. R.I.P. Hong Kong!
Is that a mark I see above the 'n' in Geneve? 1:38
Beautiful, but equally scary. Thanks for the review.
I'd love to see a review on the PAM 171 with a bracelet.
Rarely do I ever see a watch I would genuinely enjoy owning, this has to be everything I want in a watch. Too bad my broke ass will have to put up with my G-Shock!

Even if you had this watch, you'd need to keep your G-Shock around to tell the time in the dark ;-)
Douglas Rosser Good point. Forgot about the lack of lume...
My G-Shock does everything that PP does... did I mention the lights and audible alarms?
