Patek Philippe was founded in Geneva in 1839. At the beginning watches by Patek Philippe were not as great as now. The company manufactured its own cases and equipped them with movements by other manufacturers. Some time later the company’s founder Patek began collaboration with watch maker Philippe. This was a great step in the development of the company. The company began producing its own movements that amazed by their perfection. More than 50 years ago the company presented its first collection of men’s classic complicated watches Calatrava. Their gold case, porcelain dial and simple design is in fashion today.
Patek Philippe watches are known in all over the world. The company is proud of the fact that among its clients there are many famous people – beginning with queen Victoria and ending with Albert Einstein. Chronometers by Patek Philippe have become the best specimen in many collections.
