Geneva, 1839
Independent, family-held, and the only maison whose archive will certify a watch made before anyone working there today was born. The finishing is the argument.
What we look for
Patek Philippe is the last of the great Geneva houses still in family hands, and it behaves like it. The Extract from the Archives - a letter confirming a movement and case number against the original ledger - is available for any watch the house has ever sold, and no competing maison offers anything comparable.
We deal across the range, from a 1930s Calatrava ref. 96 in 31mm to a flyback 5980. The Nautilus gets the attention and the price, but the quieter references reward closer looking: a Golden Ellipse in the original 1968 proportions, a Gondolo in rose gold, a minute repeater whose gong you can feel through the caseband.

One of 500. The Advanced Research series carries a silicon Spiromax balance spring and a compliant steel mechanism for the second time zone, visible through an aperture in the dial. Full set.
In stock
Louis Cottier's jumping-hour mechanism, operated by two pushers in the caseband - the direct ancestor of every Travel Time Patek has made since. Dial original and unrestored. Extract on file.
In stock
Flyback chronograph with a 60-minute monocounter, on the integrated steel bracelet. Column wheel and vertical clutch, so the seconds hand starts without a stutter.
In stock
The reference that defined the Bauhaus dress watch in 1932. Two-tone silvered dial with a sunken subsidiary seconds, untouched and with no re-lume. Case crisp at the lugs. Extract from the archives.
In stock
Platinum with the customary diamond set at six o'clock, black dial, small seconds. Manual wind, 2.55mm thick. The least ostentatious expensive watch in the room.
In stock
Proportioned on the golden section in 1968 and essentially unchanged since. Blue-gold dial - an alloy, not a lacquer - over the micro-rotor calibre 240.
In stock
A rectangular Art Deco case with stepped shoulders and a hinged caseback. Manual wind. The Gondolo name goes back to Patek's Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau in 1902.
