Patek Philippe

Machine translation pending human review. Figures and sources match the original.

Patek Philippe began in Geneva in 1839, when Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek joined forces. After they split in 1845, Patek continued with Adrien Philippe, credited with keyless winding, and the house took its present name in 1851. The Stern family acquired it in 1932, the same year the Calatrava appeared. The 1976 Nautilus opened its path in the luxury sports watch, while its perpetual calendars and grand complications sustain its auction prestige.
