How to Say

Patek Philippe is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer founded in 1839 by Antoni Patek and Adrien Philippe. It is known as one of the most prestigious and respected watchmaking houses in the world, a symbol of timeless elegance and technical perfection. The brand is famous for its complicated mechanisms, perpetual calendars, chronographs, and iconic Calatrava, Nautilus, and Grand Complications models.

Interesting fact: The company’s president, Thierry Stern, personally listens to every minute repeater watch before it is sent to the client. He does this in absolute silence, evaluating the purity and tonal quality of the acoustic mechanism’s sound. If the sound does not meet his ideal, the watch is returned to the masters for a complete overhaul. This kind of personal audio quality control by the brand owner is unparalleled in the modern watch industry.
