Patek Philippe’s story begins with a chance meeting in Paris—Antoine Patek and Adrien Philippe crossing paths at the 1844 Exposition Nationale, unknowingly setting the tone for nearly two centuries of watchmaking excellence. From early admirers like Leo Tolstoy, Queen Victoria, and Pope Pius IX to the groundbreaking 1868 wristwatch made for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary, the brand has always moved in rare company.
This watch produced approximately 125 years after the founders’ fateful meeting, encapsulates Patek Philippe’s dedication to excellence. Encased in a rectangular polished case with a snap-on back, the watch’s geometric tortue bezel adds a modern twist to its classic silhouette. The integral smooth link bracelet, meticulously woven from 18K yellow gold, wraps around the wrist like silken chainmail. This extraordinary watch bears the signature of Patek Philippe on the case, dial, and movement, affirming its authenticity and heritage.
