Patek Philippe is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer founded in 1839 by Antoine Norbert de Patek and Francois Czapek. In 1845, Patek joined forces with Jean Adrien Philippe, a French watchmaker and inventor of the keyless winding mechanism, and the company became known as Patek Philippe & Co.
Patek Philippe quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality timepieces and became a supplier to royalty and nobility around the world. The company’s watches were known for their precision, elegance, and innovation.
