Patek Philippe

Independence and Legacy

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe remains privately owned by the Stern family, which keeps decision making focused on long-term craft rather than quarterly targets. The manufacture spans Plan-les-Ouates and Saint-Imier, where watchmakers still assemble complications by hand and polish bridges to mirror finishes.

Inventing Complications for the Wrist

Perpetual calendars, split-seconds chronographs, travel time, and minute repeaters all evolved inside Patek Philippe’s ateliers. The brand has registered more than one hundred patents, from Gyromax balance systems to Spiromax hairsprings that keep modern calibres precise while preserving classical aesthetics.

Icons Across Eras

Nautilus and Aquanaut defined the category of refined sports watches, while Calatrava, Golden Ellipse, and Twenty~4 cover formal elegance. The Grand Complications line blends astronomical displays, chiming mechanisms, and “Rare Handcrafts” dials that remain in production only as long as artisans can execute them.

Modern Production Philosophy

Annual output stays around seventy thousand pieces, which allows extensive quality control. Calibres now earn the Patek Philippe Seal, guaranteeing +2/-3 seconds per day accuracy, extensive finishing, and a lifetime commitment to servicing. Limited releases and boutique exclusives keep demand far above supply.
