A young rebel named Antoni Norbert Patek de Prawdzic fled war-torn
Poland in 1832 and embarked upon a career path that led him to
watchmaker Jean-Adrien Philippe, inventor of the revolutionary
built-in crown winding mechanism. In the 160 years since the pair
founded Patek Philippe, the line has remained, without a doubt, one
of the most traditional and noble watch manufacturers in the world.
This illustrated book couples the most exclusive and beautiful
timepieces the Genevan brand has ever manufactured with informative
history and alluring photographs. Featured inside are several of
the most popular examples from three of the company's outstanding
watch families: the uncomplicated but cherished Calatrava
collection, the groundbreaking sports line Nautilus, and the
cross-generational Gondolo family. Each watch is accompanied by a
complete list of technical specifications. This book is an
essential acquisition for both casual fans and long-time
connoisseurs of the brand.
