“Over the past two weeks, Chrono24 has released 54 minutes worth of Patek Philippe content featuring none other than John Reardon of Collectability. Reardon is recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on the Genevan watchmaker. His extensive resume includes selling some of the most important timepieces throughout the brand's history at auction, overseeing Patek’s sales and training in the US, writing the trilogy Patek Philippe in America, and being a long-time contributor to the brand’s magazine. In December of 2019, he started the next chapter in his saga founding Collectability, a platform centered around scholarship and providing collectors with the resources to informed decisions in their Patek Philippe collecting journey. The first Chrono24 video came out of left field when I spotted the title “Inside an Impressive Watch Collection and Career | Part 1” on my YouTube homepage…

As luck would have it, part 2 was released soon after. The sequel is 20 minutes of Patek Philippe content that will leave many a Patek enthusiast grinning ear to ear. With the enticing title “Inside a $700,000 Patek Philippe Watch Collection | Part 2,” I couldn’t help myself. While Hendricks was able to choose a favorite amongst the dozen or so timepieces shown, I couldn’t narrow it down to only one. Below are three of my favorites.”
