Description

Polish Antoni Patek began his career in 1839, making pocket watches in Geneva with fellow Polish Franciszek Czapek. When their partnership ended in 1844, Patek partnered with French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, creator of the keyless winding mechanism. Under Patek Philippe & Co, they went on to popularize the chronograph, perpetual calendar, split-seconds hand, and minute repeater in watches, and is now the world’s most sought after watch brand.
