Patek Philippe

Patek Philippe is the name of a luxury Swiss watchmaking company, which was established in the middle of the 19th century, and today has its watches distributed all over the globe. The brand is known for innovative technologies and the elegant design of the watches.

The history of the brand can be traced back to 1839 when Franciszek Czapek and Antoni Patek founded a company named Patek, Czapek & Cie in Geneva. The company specialized in pocket watches. As soon as in five years, however, the partnership ceased to exist, but Patek went on working in the watch business and founded his own company in 1951. Today, the brand bearing his name manufactures 40,000 watches annually.
