High-precision and complicated watches, pocket and wrist

History

Founded by Polish émigrés in Geneva, the firm became associated with Adrien Philippe's keyless winding work and, from the late nineteenth century, with observatory-grade precision watches and highly complicated pocket watches made to individual order.

The firm was established in 1839 in Geneva by Polish watchmakers Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek as Patek, Czapek & Cie. Following the dissolution of the original partnership in 1845, Patek teamed with French watchmaker Adrien Philippe to form Patek & Cie, which was later renamed Patek, Philippe & Cie in 1851. The company became a joint-stock entity in 1901 and was later acquired by the Stern family during the Great Depression in 1932.

Known for its mechanical movements and complicated horology, the firm has produced iconic models such as the Calatrava, Nautilus, and the celebrated Calibre 89. The manufacture is presently led by Thierry Stern, representing the fourth generation of the family ownership, and maintains its own museum in Geneva.
