When Patek meets Audemars and Constantin,,,







The Big Three Musketeers of Swiss Watch.
I met two Philippine watch collectors in the hotel.


These are three watches that each carries a history of its own, no one could not gree that they are master of Swiss Watches…
Patek Philippe (PP)
Polish watchmaker Antoni Patek started making pocket watches in 1839 in Geneva, along with his fellow Czech-born Polish partner Franciszek Czapek. They separated in 1844, and in 1845 Patek joined with the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, inventor of the key-less winding mechanism
Vacheron Constantin (VC)
The company was founded in 1755 by Jean-Marc Vacheron, an independent watchmaker in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1770, his company created the first complication, and nine years later he designed the first engine-turned dials.
Audemars Piguet (AP) s
AP is a Swiss manufacturer of complicated mechanical watches founded in 1875 by watch makers Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet.
 
These are their iconic sport designs till today.
PP Nautilius – Designed by Gerald Genta and launched in 1976.

AP Royal Oak – Deigned by Gerald Genta and Launched in 1972.
VC Overseas – Designed by Dino Modolo and launched in 1994, and Chronograph was launched in 1999.
Basically they are automatic watch with power reserve for about 40 hours
They are adjusted to 5 positions.
Water proof
VC – 150M
PP- 120M
AP-50M
Price PP s much more expensive than the AP and VC as it is made of solid Pink gold.
Make your choice to take one you like, they are fine accurate time piece that can service you for many decades.
