So why is Patek Philippe so expensive on the market? Let's explain the reasons.

In conclusion, ① the materials and technology are of the highest quality in the world, and the watches are almost entirely made by hand by craftsmen. ② It is a manufacture (in-house production) brand that produces all products in-house, including models with complicated mechanisms. ③ It supports permanent repairs. ④ It manufactures watches that are intended to be passed down from parent to child, across generations.

The above points are some of them.
Why is Patek Philippe so expensive? One of the main factors that could explain this is the production method.
Most of the watches are handcrafted by craftsmen, and many of them have magnificent calibers and movement cases with see-through cases. They are works of art in a way.
Another factor is the strict quality control of the materials used. For example, when it comes to diamonds for decoration, they only use diamonds with a color grade of D to F according to the 4Cs standard, and IF (internal flawless) clarity, which means they have in-house standards that exceed those of Harry Winston.
Regarding repairs, Patek Philippe is a rare brand worldwide that has provided lifetime maintenance and repairs for its products since its founding in 1839. While many brands have limited warranty periods, the after-sales support for lifetime repairs is exceptionally reliable. This truly shows the dignity of the brand as a watch that will be loved for a long time, across generations.
Due to these factors, Patek Philippe continues to be popular and loved, and is highly sought after in the market. Furthermore, because they are produced by hand, the supply is low compared to the demand, making them increasingly rare, making them increasingly difficult to obtain, and their prices and value are soaring.
