Patek Philippe has been perpetuating the tradition of Genevan watchmaking since 1839. Following the vision of its founders Antoine Norbert de Patek and Adrien Philippe, the brand maintains a tradition of innovation hailed by an impressive repertoire of more than 80 patents. Over 200 models are in regular production, produced in small series of between 10 and several hundred watches and fitted with a vast array of in-house movements.
The rigorous standards applied to every step of the development process and in the long months of crafting and finishing make each Patek Philippe coveted by the connoisseur. As the product of an extraordinary amount of know-how and work, a Patek Philippe commands a high price and will fully retain or even increase its value over the years. Many of the models achieve cult status and regularly fetch record-setting sums at auction. Their solid reputation amongst collectors and – especially – the great sentimental value that a Patek Philippe usually acquires in the eyes of its owner make each one a treasured addition to a family’s assets. Patek Philippe watches are works of art whose beauty reflects their mechanical perfection. As exceptional creations they outlive passing fashions without ever losing their appeal and modernity. Now, as always, subtle modifications enable the watches to evolve while retaining all their characteristic charm. Here are just a few to whet your appetite even further.
