Buying watches at auction can be an exciting thing, but it is good to keep a few things in mind when doing so.

If there is one brand that understands the power of steel, it is Patek Philippe. They were one of the pioneering brands that made this robust metal precious. This has become somewhat of a legacy for the brand. Next to the Nautilus, also the Aquanaut has become a steel powerhouse for the brand. But it doesn't stop there, as the ref. 5960/1A testifies.

Father's day is coming up and what better way to surprise that rock in your life than with a watch? Functional, practical and very personal: it is in many ways the perfect gift. But which watch to get him? That depends on the type of dad you have!

There is something special about a vintage watch. Unlike a new watch that you get from a retailer or boutique, and you’re the first owner, a vintage watch has had a life before you, in some cases for a significant period of time. They represent a different time and space. These are 10 vintage watches that should be considered for any serious vintage watch collection.

Next month Patek Philippe will open their highly anticipated "Grand Exhibition." Haute Time had a few moments with the President of Patek Philippe US, Larry Petinelli to ask him about this unique event.

There are not many watches where you can count the number of models existing on one hand. This Patek Philippe Heures Universelles pocket watch is one of those watches. It is, in fact, only the fourth of the Heures Universelles pocket watches known with a cloisonné enamel dial showing North America with a palm tree next to it.

One way of sparking passionate debates in Haute Time's editorial department is to ask about putting together a list of the ten favorite watches from Baselworld. Some make a convincing case for the latest triple-axis tourbillon, while another thinks that a top ten is not complete without that gorgeous time-only. As personal and arbitrary as these lists are, they do give a good indication on where the watch world is currently standing, and which new watches made the biggest impressions.

Malik Jackson has an affinity for the finer things that mature with age and success. The 27-year old NFL player has accomplished more than many footballers. In 2016, Jackson claimed Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos, where he played defense for four seasons. A month after the win, he inked a $90-million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. As time has revealed Jackson’s talent for the sport, he has nurtured a polished mien, buoyed by a growing watch collection.

Watch auctions are always excited, but those of Phillips seem to be in a category of their own. This is in part thanks to amazing watches such as the Patek Philippe red. 2499, but while watches are these capture the headlines, the auction has much more to offer!

If there is one place to scope out new trends in watches, it is Baselworld! Sometimes you see a specific complication emerge with different brands at the same time. At other times cases or movement designs seem to follow a similar trend. This year there were surprisingly many watches with a blue dial!

One of my all-time personal favorites from Patek Philippe is reference 3974. When this watch was launched in 1989, it was the most complicated wrist watch in the world.

Sometimes what seems like a simple dial change makes a big difference in our perception of a watch. This new Annual Calendar for ladies from Patek Philippe is a pure example.

Ask people about their favorite Nautilus, and you can expect a variety of answers. Some prefer the original time-only model in steel; others want a moon phase or a precious metal. We fell in love, at its introduction in 2014, with the Nautilus Travel Time Chronograph.

In the world of vintage watches, Patek Philippe's chronographs with perpetual calendars occupy a category of their own. They are benchmarks in the industry, and that goes especially for the Reference 2499, which we examine here.
