The test of time

A two-year waiting list and a minimum €20,000 price tag — welcome to the world of Patek Philippe.

UP TO a thousands gears, cogs and springs operating in perfect unison, pieced together by a master watchmaker with a minimum of 20 years experience, and for a mere million euro you could join the two-year waiting list to own one.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Patek Phillippe, where gemstones are not prominently displayed on the case of the watch, but integrated into the mechanism so that it never wears down and maintains its perfect action as the watch is passed from generation to generation.
