Top Patek Philippe Watches for your Collection

They say elegance is timeless. But to add to your elegance, you need a high-quality timepiece. A well-crafted watch oozes an aura of confidence, luxury, status, and style. Patek Philippe watches do that and more.

These Swiss-made watches are meticulously designed using high-quality materials to turn them into timeless collectors’ pieces. Do you know the company's tagline states, "You never actually own a Patek Philippe; you merely take care of it for the next generation." Patek Philippe watches are a collector’s dream. They are also very exclusive in that only about 50,000 pieces are produced annually. That means only a handful of people worldwide own a Patek Philippe watch. Are you on that list?

Well, the brand has created over thirty watch models since its inception in the 1830s. From the Calavatra to the Grandmaster Chime, Patek Philippe continues to prove why they are the leading watch manufacturers worldwide. This article highlights 3 of the best Patek Philippe watch models for your collection.

1. The Golden Ellipse

The Golden Ellipse was introduced in 1968 to enhance creativity. This watch was not similar to the traditional Patek Philippe watch designs. The Golden Ellipse has an elliptical case forming a cross between a circle and a rectangle. I told you they’re unique. The Golden ellipse design is derived from ancient Greek mathematicians who used the golden ratio formula, expressed as 1/1.6181—commonly used in art and architecture. Did I mention the dials? The watch has a simple dial with only two hands and clear hour markers floating on the surface.

You can only purchase a rose gold or platinum Golden Ellipse watch. These watches range from $20,000 and only feature two designs; 5738R-001 in Rose Gold and 5738P-OO1 in platinum.

2. The Calavatra

The Calavatra was introduced to the collection in 1932, making it one of the flagship watch models for Patek Philippe. The watch features a 31mm bezel, a white face, an extra dial at the 6 o'clock mark, and a gold case made out of 18k gold or platinum.

Despite improvements in design for Patek Philippe watches, the Calavatra has maintained its features and design. It's truly a timeless piece. However, several designs of the Calavatra have been introduced. The Calavatra 5119 is a classic, making it the best piece for a collector.

3. The Nautilus

The Nautilus was introduced in 1976 to cater to luxury in sports. The watch was designed by Gerald Genta, who derived inspiration from the Stern family's passion for sailing. Even the name comes from Captain Nemo’s submarine in Jules Verne’s novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. The name shows how much attention goes into each watch.
The Nautilus features an octagonal bezel, a porthole-shaped case, and a horizontally embossed dial. Nicknamed Jumbo because of the 42mm case, the Nautilus is one of the most successful Patek Philippe watches. It also features different variations, which suitable for both men and women. A good quality Nautilus model can cost you close to $30,000.

Patek Philippe uses different metals, colors, and variations to create new models. Every watch under the Patek Philippe franchise has unique features and style. You can increase your collection's quality by purchasing beautiful Patek Philippe's timepieces from Polacheck’s Jewelers.
