Established in 1948, Patek Philippe’s Electronics division was created with a specific task to innovate photoelectric and electronic timekeeping technology. After 7 years of the establishment of the division, Patek Philippe launched their very first solar-powered photoelectric clock at the World Symposium 1955.
The present Patek Philippe ref. 809 desk clock is composed of a rectangular-shaped gilt brass frame with glass panels, each facet of the case depicting a black and gold brushed texture with gilt decorative corners. The top facet lays Patek Philippe’s innovative feature of a solar panel, which supplies energy to a storage devise embedded inside the case. With a technology so ahead of its time, it is no wonder the Patek Philippe solar desk clocks have garnered such attention as it depicts the manufacturer’s ability to blend artisanal craft with sophisticated watchmaking technology. Manufactured in 1967 and confirmed by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, the present desk clock will surely impress any important boardroom or desk.
