Handmade Patek Philippe Billiards Watches

[AtLarge]

Does anyone truly believe these are made by Patek Philippe? Just making sure...

Patek Philippe does "Rare Handcrafts" collections. The 2 billiard-themed watches were part of the 2024 collection. Here is an article about that collection: https://watchesbysjx.com/2024/04/patek-philippe-rare-handcrafts-2024-geneva-salon.html

The Rare Handcrafts 2025 collection is still displayed on the Patek website: https://www.patek.com/en/collection/rare-handcrafts

I can tell time from my FlipPhone, have a watch I wear like twice a year if the battery is still alive.

Get you a Patek and you won’t have to worry about a battery.

Were you thinking of buying?

I bought a pool watch many years ago.
I have never worn it, I just wanted it for my pool related items collection.

You can see it on post 38 of this old thread.
It cost around $75.

For about the last ten years I have been collecting things related to pool and throwing them in a cabinet. None of the stuff I have is particularly valuable but most of it is cool. Here are a few pics. Feel free to add your own.

What is a Patek?

What is a Patek?

I'm assuming they mean Paketa. They were soviet made mechanical watches. Soviet/Russian for "Rocket." They are really neat watches, good quality and can be had on ebay ready to go for $30 and up. If you like mechanical watches they are worth looking into. Neat read with picshttps://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/raketa.

That page doesn't show all the designs, there were all sorts of ones, even ones celebrating north pole voyages, sputnik, all sorts of stuff. Google images will show them.

What the thread is about. These ones are just the worst looking ones ever though.

No, patek Philippe is an extremely high end watch brand. They make Rolex look like dollar store bargains.

for that money you could buy a house, with a pool room, table, accessories, couple nice sticks, in 90% of the country.

That is one butt-ass-ugly watch. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot cue stick.

And I'm a watch guy.

You do realize somebody buying a $400,000 watch isn't buying a $300,000 house, Right, right?

More expensive than any pool cue made or sold……some very expensive models that aren’t very handsome either.

Reminds me of Joe the Camel…I would not buy.

Seriously .. lol you’re not wrong. I’m a watch guy and they look cheap and horrible

 

[Hungarian]

I would guess by name only. Like Omega’s moonswatch. I’ve never heard or seen these though and I follow the watch world regularly.

Bishop, this has to be a scam. This stupid crappy watch has an asking price of $400k. To me this feels like asking $75k for a Pinoy knock out Balabushka.

I did search it and ai came back that it’s not true.

I've got a Joe Camel denim jacket. I won it at the the World Open 9-ball in Winston-Salem NC.

Will you take $400k for the jacket?

 

[hang-the-9]

If it was not for the name, I would have thought they were worth maybe $50-100. Just going by the looks of the things.

Well, thank you, sir.

I stand corrected especially on a clarification from you, Sir. I’m very surprised. I’m still wondering which pool player will be buying it for $400k.

Yeah, just reading up. No pool player would buy these. Maybe a watch collector but I doubt it. A Patek fan but still doubt it.

I don’t see the market for this at all.

It’s like a super wealthy novelty item.

Isn't that what all their watches are?
