The Geneva manufacture is exhibiting these days in its timeless salons on rue du Rhône, in Geneva, the entire collection of high craftsmanship pieces unveiled at the last edition of the Baselworld show. A unique opportunity to discover some fifty exceptional pieces, including Dôme clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches, before they join private collections around the world.
"This year is special, it is one of the most important in terms of quantity, with 140 pieces of artistic craftsmanship, explained Thierry Stern, president of Patek Philippe, during the inauguration of this exhibition. We had hundreds of requests in Basel. It’s not easy to decide who among our customers will be able to wear them... Here, the finest and rarest pieces in the world are gathered. My father made sure to make work the craftsmen, even when it was not selling, to preserve the know-how. Thanks to the vision of my father, and of my grandfather before him, we can present these watches and clocks. If I could, I I would keep them all! It’s also a bit of the beauty of Patek Philippe. What you do, you have to share it, see it go, a bit like children."
