The cream of Patek Philippe’s 175 years of watch production is housed on the first floor, where 1,000 timepieces recount the life and times of the Genevan watchmaker par excellence, from grand complications to commemorative watches and beautiful representations of Patek’s mastery in the field of enamelling and other rare handcrafts. On the second floor is the Antiques collection, with clocks, watches and automata dating from 1500 by different makers, including masterpieces by Breguet.

Not to be missed

The Art of Automata gallery and the Fantasy watches are exquisite exhibits, as is the collection of watches bearing the Genevan specialty of miniature enamel paintings.
