30 Meters For Swimming? Patek Philippe Makes Major Changes

2024 Patek Philippe watches are the standard to which all other luxury watches are compared. From the classic Calatrava dress watch to the Nautilus sports watch, every Patek Philippe watch is class competitive and a point of reference ofr other watchmakers. For 2024 Patek Philippe watches, new warranty, water resistance, and accuracy standards apply; learn about all of them tonight with Tim Mosso.

Water resistance is one of the most controversial and discussed topics among watch collectors. 30 meters, 50 meters, 120 meters: what do they mean, and how do you know if a watch can be used for swimming? For 2024, Patek Philippe has re-rated nearly every single watch in the catalog to 30-meters. The formerly 120-meter rated 5811 Nautilus and 5167 Aquanaut now share a water resistance with pure dress watches like the Calatrava 5227. According to Patek Philippe, all of these watches are now rated for actual swimming, showering, and even submergence down to a true depth of 30 meters - almost 100 feet!

Finally, new standards associated with the Patek Philippe seal bring greater accuracy to the brand's watches. When it debuted in 2009, the Patek Philippe seal entailed guaranteed accuracy of -3/+2 seconds per 24 hours for movements with a diameter over 20mm. As of 2024, that timing tolerance improves to -1/+2 seconds per 24 hours. Significantly, this standard applies to fully assembled watches tested in six positions. In comparison, the well known COSC chronometer certification involves a five-position test of bare movements prior to casing as a complete watch.

All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"
