As an independent family owned company, Patek Philippe enjoys total creative freedom to design, produce and assemble what experts agree to be the finest timepieces in the world.With its vast experience and more than 70 patents to its credit, Patek Philippe is the only manufacture that crafts all of its mechanical movements according to the strict specifications of the Geneva Seal. These precious, timeless elegant watches, proudly handed down from one generation to the next, are the result of latest-generation technology combined with traditional watchmaking know-how.

Today, Patek Philippe includes the main workshops and headquarters at Plan-les-Ouates, the case and bracelet workshops at Perly, the Patek Philippe Museum at Plainpalais, all in Geneva, as well as the Patek Philippe Salons in Geneva, Paris, and London.

Patek Philippe watches are timekeeping instruments of benchmark stature. They are also works of art whose beauty reflects their mechanical perfection.From the first pencil sketch to the finished watch, the objective is always to find the perfect balance between classicism and modernity. Only what is deemed worthy will bear the Patek Philippe signature.The outcome is timeless appeal as exemplified by the sustained success of Patek Philippe watches at prestigious auctions.

The stringent and systematic inspections conducted by the workshops testify to extremely high standards that guarantee the exceptional quality and reliability of each Patek Philippe watch.

All movements and watches are subject to a series of technical tests and visual inspections to verify their rate accuracy, winding function integrity, power reserve, water resistance, and overall appearance. On average, a self-winding watch runs for 1200 hours before it leaves the Patek Philippe workshops. It is not delivered until it thoroughly fulfills all of our quality requirements, agreed to be the most stringent in the entire Swiss watchmaking industry.

Lasting value is both material and emotional.
