Patek Philippe: this is contradictory to car dealerships with repair centers

car dealerships without repair centers attached have a hard time surviving. the repair centers are revenue generators that provide steady cashflow for both overheads. interesting that watch service centers are not. i wonder, would it be possible to pay a premium for service (above the already high p

Patek Philippe: Patek service times from a business perspective

we have all heard of crazy service times from 3 months to a year. my question is from a business point. 1- how many people would be deterred from buying a Patek due to this outrageous wait time 2- how hard would it be to scale up the service centers to speed up the wait time 3- how many services has

Patek Philippe: I am a new Patek owner!

I have previously owned mostly Rolex, Explorer II, SS Daytona, Rose Gold Ceramic Daytona (chocolate dial), and Cartier Chronograph with the Piguet movement. I recently purchased a Patek 5712G and love it. I like to customize watches to my taste, for example on the Ceramic Daytona I put a very nice R
