About Patek Philippe

Having not only the title of being the last independent Genevan watch manufacturer, but every single one of Patek Philippe's mechanical movements awarded the respected official hallmark of the Geneva Seal, it comes as no surprise that they are a family watch company steeped in quality. Founded in 1851 by watchmaker Antoni Norbert Patek and inventor of the keyless winding mechanism Adrien Philippe, this is a brand that balances classicism and modernism, with over 70 patents proving their innovation and originality. Be it complication, grand complication, or their jewellery, each piece is a joy to behold, even more so when you see that singular Patek Philippe signature.
