Since 1839, without interruption, Patek Philippe has been committed to handing down the great art of traditional Genevan watchmaking. The Maison enjoys absolute creative freedom that allows it to design, develop and manufacture what connoisseurs agree are the best watches in the world, in line with the commitment made by founders Antoine Norbert de Patek and Adrien Philippe. In addition to its extraordinary savoir-faire, Patek Philippe also carries on a tradition of innovation, crowned by the filing of over one hundred patents.
