About Patek Philippe Brand: Being one of the world's biggest watchmakers, Patek Philippe shares this status with two other giants, Vacheron & Constantin and Audemars Piguet. The brand was established in Geneva in 1839. Ever since every Patek Philippe watch has been assembled by hand - the process which takes up to a year and longer. Initially, the company was called Patek, Czapek & Co. and was run by a group of Polish immigrants in Geneva. In 1845 a French horologist Adrien Philippe added his name to the brand, while Czapek left to start his own watchmaking business. It was Philippe who invented a new winding mechanism – a crown that replaced a key. Today Patek Philippe continues to come up with innovations and make its own mechanisms. Both features are very much respected by the world’s watchmaking society. Due to its unparalleled quality and exquisite design, the Patek Philippe watches are highly collectible. The most sought-after models are the Aquanaut, the Nautilus and the Calatrava. They are not just holding its value but increasing it which makes it a great investment. An important aspect of Patek Philippe success and reputation as a watchmaking brand is their core values. The company is an independent manufacturer who’s cherishing traditions, innovations, and rarity of their pieces. The look of the Patek Philippe watches expresses their mechanical perfection. That’s why an aesthetic component is always in the equation. Also, purchasing a timepiece by Patek Philippe is often connected to an emotional event. Because it’s such a special piece, the clients mark their family celebrations or business achievements by acquiring a watch by Patek Philippe.
