Patek Philippe – Independent Swiss watch making

Patek Philippe is an independent watchmaker from Geneva in Switzerland. The company was founded in 1839 by the Polish aristocrat Antoine Norbert Graf de Patek. The partnership between Antoine Norbert Graf de Patek and Jean-Adrien Philippe resulted in the patent for a groundbreaking innovation in watchmaking – the winding crown. This mechanism change the way in which watches were used because it was no longer necessary to use a special key to wind the clockwork or to adjust the hands.

Today Patek Philippe is one of the few still independent watchmakers and is owned by the Stern family, who in the year 1932 completed the takeover of the company from Jean-Adrien Philippe which was begun in 1929.[1] The year 1932 also saw the launch of the classic wristwatch Referenz (Ref.) 96, which is still produced today in an almost unchanged form. Only the size of the housing has been adapted to the taste of the times. In 1953 Patek Philippe launched the first wristwatch with an automatic rotary winding mechanism. From the very beginning the company has manufactured complex wrist watches and pocket watches with so-called complications.

Today the company manufactures some of the world's most expensive watches, such as for example the Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref. 5002. Of this model, which was launched in the year 2001, only two watches are made per year, selling at a price of just under €700,000. These watches are personally approved by the president of Patek Philippe, Philippe Stern. Mr Stern will probably continue to manage the company until the end of 2009 before handing over to his son Thierry Stern.[2] In addition to its complex watches Patek Philippe has since 1997 also been producing the world's flattest automatic watch in the Kaliber 240, which has a thickness of only 2.40 mm. The trademark of the Patek Philippe watches is the Calatrava cross, which is engraved on the winding crown, and the Geneva seal as as a certificate of quality. At present the latter is being replaced by the company's own seal of quality.
