In October 2026, Patek Philippe brings its WATCH ART Grand Exhibition to Milan.
The setting is CityOval, the historic former Palazzo delle Scintille in the CityLife district. Beneath its 30-metre-high dome, nearly 2,900 square metres will unfold across 15 themed areas, bringing together some 500 timepieces and objects.
From the manufacture’s current collection to historic masterpieces, grand complications and rare handcrafts, the exhibition reveals a vision of watchmaking shaped not only by technical mastery, but by material, form, ornament and the culture of time itself.
Among its highlights, 27 Rare Handcrafts creations embody this sensibility with particular clarity. The Burano pocket watch translates the vivid character of the Venetian island through elaborate enamelling, while the Sicilian Oranges dome table clock evokes orange trees and the distant cityscape of Palermo through Grand Feu cloisonné enamel and miniature painting.

Here, traditional craftsmanship becomes more than decoration. It carries the memory of place, light and colour into objects made to endure.
A watchmaking culture cultivated since 1839 now takes spatial form in Milan, a city defined by design.
