The Rolls Royce of luxury watches, Patek Philippe has mastered every aspect of fine watchmaking. Their timepieces are coveted by watch collectors for their rich heritage, quality craftsmanship and fine attention to detail.

Patek Philippe – A Rich Heritage

The origins of Patek Philippe date back to 1839 when Genevan watchmaker Antoni Patek began making pocket watches.

It wasn’t until he partnered with French watchmaker Adrien Philippe in 1851 that Patek Philippe & Co. was born. They went on to create the first wristwatch in 1868, followed by the Minute Repeater, Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, Nautilus, Calatrava, and Twenty-4 to name a few.

Patek Philippe – Hunting Case Minute Repeater Pocket Watch

This circa 1883 Patek Philippe Minute Repeater is one of their early manual-winding pocket watches. A minute repeater operates independently from the world time and chimes only the home time.

Set in 18K yellow gold, it features a white enamel dial with black Roman numerals and sub-seconds at the 6 o’clock position. The case and dial are signed and numbered with movement No. 65667 and case No. 202015.

While Patek Phillipe & Co. was acquired by the Stern family in 1932, they continue to maintain their commitment to the rich history, values, and traditional art of Swiss watchmaking. Today, Patek Philippe produces about 40,000 watches annually, with some commanding prices over a million dollars.

It features a white gold case, a blue sunburst dial with a perpetual calendar (day, date, month, leap year and 24-hour indication) as well as a moon phase display and a blue leather alligator strap.

Patek Philippe – Nautilus Men’s Watch 5711R-001

In 1976, Patek Philippe set out to release the most exclusive sports watch of the highest quality – the Nautilus. Today, it’s the most iconic and popular watch model in their collection.

This Patek Philippe Nautilus Men’s Watch features an 18K rose gold case (43mm), a brown dial, and brown leather strap.

Patek Philippe – Calatrava Watch

With its pure lines, the Calatrava is recognized as the very essence of the round wristwatch and one of the finest symbols of the Patek Philippe style.

Supremely elegant, this watch charms each new generation of watch lovers by its timeless understated perfection.

Patek Philippe – Twenty- 4 Ladies Watch

Like its predecessors, the Patek Philippe Twenty-4 epitomizes timeless feminine elegance.

Launched in 1999, this prestigious watch can complement all moments of daily life. Whether you plan to dress up or down, choose from diamond-set rose gold or stainless-steel versions.

Looking for something slightly more modern, yet refined? In 2018 Patek released its latest Twenty-4 model featuring a round case and a caliber 324 S C self-winding movement with date aperture and sweep seconds.

You won’t be disappointed by adding a highly complicated Patek Philippe watch to your collection. Not only are they works of art, but they are “recession-proof” and will continue to retain their value over time.
