From 10 to 25 June 2023, watch enthusiasts, devotees, and the general public will have the remarkable opportunity to immerse themselves in the captivating world of the last remaining independent family-owned Genevan watch manufacture.
As the doors open to this extraordinary event, visitors will find themselves transported to the charming streets of Geneva and the tranquil lakeside, all within the expansive decor spanning over 2,500 square meters. It is a setting that evokes a sense of awe and curiosity, inviting guests to embark on a unique journey that goes far beyond the ticking hands of time.
Delving behind the scenes of Patek Philippe itself, attendees will gain exclusive insights into the meticulous craftsmanship and visionary innovation that have defined this revered watch brand for generations. The exhibition serves as a testament to the unwavering commitment and passion that the Stern family, the guardians of Patek Philippe's legacy, have dedicated to preserving the essence of traditional watchmaking.
At the heart of this grand exhibition lie the highly anticipated limited editions, carefully curated and launched to coincide with the event. Amongst these horological marvels are two remarkable debut timepieces.
