Patek Philippe &
Co. is one of the most famous and exclusive brands of wrist watches in the
world. Patek Philippe is currently owned by the Stern family. Many watch
collectors regard Patek Philippe timepieces as the best in the world.
Antoni
Patek started making pocket watches in 1839 in Geneva. In 1845 Patek
joined with the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, inventor of the
keyless winding mechanism. In 1851, Patek Philippe & Co was born. In
1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch. They have also
pioneered the perpetual calendar, chronograph and minute repeater in
watches. The company has produced quartz watches in the past, but has
never produced watches with digital displays. Patek is also famous for
being the creator of the most complicated mechanical watch ever made,
the Calibre 89, created for the 150th anniversary of the company
in 1989. It holds 33 complications, including the date of Easter, a
thermometer, time of sunrise, equation of time, sidereal time, and many
other indicators. The Calibre89 is also able to add a day to February
for leap years while leaving out the extra day for every 100 year
interval. |

For
2006, Patek Philippe reinterpreted some of the flagship models that are
intrinsically associated with the Geneva workshops by underscoring their
personality, optimizing their readability, and subtly reworking and updating
their aesthetic expression. The ultra-thin perpetual calendar, one of the
ambassadors of the manufacture, presents itself in a slightly enlarged version
that accentuates its finesse and showcases the clarity of its dial. The Annual
Calendar, an extremely successful timepiece thanks to its useful complications,
is now available in a new version with twin in-line day and month apertures. The
celebrated World Time watch with unmatched ease of use now comes in a larger,
more conveniently legible format. Its dial features a new guilloché pattern and
an eye-catching ring-shaped hour hand.
