Patek Philippe, founded in 1839 by Antoine Norbert de Patek and later joined by Jean Adrien Philippe, is one of the most prestigious Swiss watch manufacturers, renowned for its innovation, craftsmanship, and exclusivity. The brand pioneered key horological advancements, including the perpetual calendar, split-seconds chronograph, and minute repeater, while producing some of the most complicated timepieces in history, such as the Henry Graves Supercomplication.
Remaining family-owned since 1932 under the Stern family, Patek Philippe continues to symbolize luxury and heritage, with models like the Nautilus, Calatrava, and Grand Complications being highly sought after by collectors. Its commitment to tradition and innovation has solidified its reputation as a leader in haute horology.
