Patek Philippe: Patek Philippe, established in Geneva in 1839, is one of the world’s most prestigious and enduring Swiss watch manufacturers. Renowned for its uncompromising craftsmanship and technical innovation, the company introduced numerous horological milestones, including the perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and split-seconds chronograph. Since 1932, Patek Philippe has remained family-owned under the Stern family, safeguarding its independence and commitment to excellence. The brand’s philosophy—“You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.”—epitomizes its dedication to timeless quality, heritage, and lasting value. Gold
