Would a $1 M dollar Patek have any imperfections under a loupe?

gqllc · 4 April 2012, 04:27 AM

I would return it if did...my other million dollar individual items have all been nothing short of pure perfection

Tri-Tip · 4 April 2012, 04:28 AM

How strong is your loupe?

snaggle · 4 April 2012, 04:31 AM

Anything is possible.

I am not sure that there is a single man-made object in the world that is truly flawless.

I would hope not, but you never know. Its hand made i assume from top to bottom so theres always room for an imperfection.

On the other hand a $100 Invicta can have zero imperfections as well.

ManUtd · 4 April 2012, 04:37 AM

If you look hard enough there will always be something.

A.J.R. · 4 April 2012, 04:37 AM

Probably.

h999r · 4 April 2012, 04:39 AM

chicfarmer1 · 4 April 2012, 04:47 AM

Maybe not, but I bet its name wouldn't read "PETAK."

T-Rip · 4 April 2012, 04:49 AM

My $8,000 SubC should be perfect under the loupe.. so if I had a million dollar watch it should be 100% pristine...

perpetualman88 · 4 April 2012, 04:54 AM

If you buy a million dollar patek new there will be NO imperfections trust me

stockae92 · 4 April 2012, 05:08 AM

If it does have imperfection, my personal assistant will take the watch to PP for a $10k service and a turn around time of 2 years.

And I will be wearing my other $1M watches in the mean while.

Chipmunk · 4 April 2012, 05:11 AM

Get a refund.......mine is ferpect.

Not sure how you can be so sure, but ok, I'll trust you... I'm sure we're all qualified to know the hypothetical answer to this question.

Passionata · 4 April 2012, 05:15 AM

You always have the option to relume it

gwalker · 4 April 2012, 05:19 AM

Magnify anything enough and there will be something wrong. You planning on buying one or something? People that have a million dollars to spend on a watch have much better things to do than sit around and look for an imperfection on such a watch.

Yet it's hand made...

I believe there probably are imperfections but at that price I would say even they are amazing and worth it!

Not sure what this has to do with Rolex, but, yes, you would probably see imperfections. Nothing is perfect.

ManCityFan · 4 April 2012, 05:42 AM

not sure, but if anything could be considered flawless, it would be a $1MM patek. even their "cheap" stuff is incredibly well-finished.
