I have iphone 6 plus on ios 12.4.1, currently is not possible to pair with apple watch since it require update to ios 13. iphone 6 plus cannot be upgraded to ios 13.
Please help if you have any solution to this.
Apple Watch
If this is a new Apple Watch, return it immediately. Apple will give you a full refund if it is return within 14 days. That way you will not have a useless Apple Watch or be forced to upgrade your iPhone when you do not want to do that.
If at a later date you get a new iPhone, you can buy a new Apple Watch.
The iPhones that work with an Apple Watch running watchOS 6 are the 6s, SE, 7, 8, X, XS, XR, 11 and 11 Pro.
A used iPhone 6s would be an inexpensive option.

Since this is a user-to-user technical support forum, you are not talking to Apple here. I just provided the best advice I could so you would not loose value and could take you time making a decision.

And there is the "Contact Support" link at the top of this page.

There's no patch since Apple has stated that Watch Series 3 & 5 needs iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later.
As Bob says you got 14 days to return your Watch Series 3 for a full refund.
IOS 12.4.1 on iphone 6 plus cannot pair with Apple Watch Series 3
