Book Patek Philippe: Impossible Collection by Assouline

Description

Founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish refugees Antoine Norbert de Patek and François Czapek, Patek Philippe is the pinnacle of Swiss fine watchmaking. Their mission was clear: to create the finest watches in the world.

Patek Philippe excels at grand complications, with revolutionary innovations like the precision regulator (1881) and the perpetual calendar mechanism (1889). They have designed iconic watches, including the 1926 Grande Complication, the 1933 Super Complication for Henry Graves, and the record-setting 2019 Grandmaster Chime.

With a production of less than a million watches since 1839, Patek Philippe creations are coveted by collectors around the world.

Explore these rare timepieces in Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection, featuring exclusive photographs from prominent collectors. Join the world of watchmaking excellence today.

Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.
