    • Patek Philippe

    Patek Philippe is a watch manufacturer from Switzerland. It was launched in 1851 and immediately focused on luxury watches. Patek Philippe watches are entirely created in-house, including the movements, among them some of the world’s outstanding calibers. Novelties presented in Patek Philippe watches are, among others, split-seconds hand, perpetual calendar, minute repeater and chronograph.

    Patek produces self-winding automatic movements and manual calibers. Early in 21st century Patek introduced the silicon escapement wheel. The vintage Patek Philippe watch market and the demand for used Patek watches is high which is why the resale value of a vintage Patek watch tends to be better than the average of other watch brands. WatchTime covers the full range of Patek Philippe watches, including the Patek Philippe Calatrave, Patek Philippe Replica, Patek Philippe Nautilus, with Patek Philippe price lists and more details about the latest Patek Philippe prices. We publish Patek Philippe news and reviews of Patek Philippe watches and Patek watches, including the Patek Philippe Grand Complications, Patek Philippe Minute Repeater, and Patek Philippe 5970. A Patek Philippe watch is regarded as a luxury object to be bestowed to the next generation; vintage Patek Philippe pocket watches have fetched high prices at Patek watch auctions. You’ll also find our database of Patek Philippe watches, prices included for all Patek watches.
