  • Catalogue Essay

    Every year Patek Philippe creates a limited series of highly decorative and collectible porcelain and enamel dishes, which reflects a historic Patek Philippe watch from their archives. These collectibles are not offered to the general public, rather they are gifted to top collectors. This pair of two Limoges and enamel vide-poche are in excellent condition and a reminder of the traditional historical past of Patek Philippe. “Le Vase Grec” from the 2003 collection commemorates a champlevé enamel pocket watch from 1923. The second plate, from the 2005 collection, with sun and star motif commemorates a dome clock celebrating Patek Philippe’s 150th anniversary in 1989.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
