Questions, answered
How do I buy a Patek Philippe?
Start with the exact reference and condition you want, then find which commercial dealer holds it. Tailyr introduces you to dealers on its network and, for pieces that aren't listed, its Elite Specialists can source them.
Is the Nautilus 5711 still made?
The steel Nautilus 5711 was discontinued, which is part of why sought-after examples are hard to find. Ask a dealer what is currently available.
What is an Extract from the Archives?
It is a document from Patek Philippe's archives confirming details of a watch's production. Ask whether one is available for the piece.
Can Tailyr find a Patek Philippe that isn't listed?
Yes. Partners list watches on the network, and for pieces that aren't listed, Tailyr's Elite Specialists can source them.
Does Tailyr sell watches?
No. Tailyr is an introduction service. Nothing is bought or sold on Tailyr.
