Patek Philippe Forummoderated by William Massena and Guy Balice (Res&Stats)
Welcome to the Patek Philippe Forum.
Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish aristocrat, founded Patek, Czapek & Co with a fellow Pole in 1839. In 1845, Adrien Philippe, a French watchmaker and the inventor of the modern stem-winding and setting mechanism for watches, became a partner in the firm. Patek Philippe was to become the renowned manufacturer of complicated watches. From the Henry Graves watch to the Calibre 2000, Patek Phillipe has established itself as the leader in traditional watchmaking.
