The Patek Philippe classics
Patek Philippe Gondolo
The Gondolo line is the elegant men's watch in Art Deco style, as shown here, with the square or barrel-shaped case and additional functions or complications. In this case it is an annual calendar.
The Patek Philippe Gondolo has a long history and is based on the businessman Gondolo from Brazil / Rio de Janeiro.


Patek Philippe Calatrava
The Calatrava model has been in production since 1932 . It is ICON and very popular as an elegant men's watch. The design is clear and puristic and based on the Bauhaus style . If you consider that it came onto the market back in the 1930s, it was ahead of its time back then.
The name of the Calatrava comes from the Spanish knightly order , which was actively involved in the fight against the Moors in the 12th century, and this cross has also been adopted in the Patek Philippe logo .
Patek Philippe Nautilus
One of the most famous and the ICON of Patek Philippe. It is Patek Philippe's most expensive - but value-added sports model . It is not without reason that moon prices are paid for this watch - especially for the reference 5711/1A-010 model in stainless steel and blue dial, as the watch is no longer in production.
The design comes from Gérald Genta and is based on the porthole of a ship . The Nautilus was launched in 1976 .


Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or
When the Ellipse d'Or model was presented in 1968 , it represented a break with the applicable conventions. A very fine mixture of circle and rectangle gives it a unique case that will be remembered. A simple - but extraordinary - classic wristwatch for him or her with a very high wearing comfort because it is ultra flat .
Patek Philippe Twenty~4
The Twenty~4 model, which was launched in 1999 , is a "women's watch dedicated to the young, active and modern woman". The small, diamond-studded case measuring just 25 x 30 mm exudes a simple elegance .
The watches in the Twenty~4 collection originally came with a quartz movement, but in 2018 models with automatic movements were added.

Patek Philippe's advertising statement hits the nail on the head
All Patek Philippe watches have one thing in common - they retain their value excellently.

"Un Patek Philippe ne vous appartient jamais seul. Vous l'apréciez toute une vie, mais vous le conservez pour la prochaine generation"

“A Patek Philippe is never yours alone. You enjoy it for a lifetime, but actually you keep it for the next generation."
THE MOST EXCLUSIVE WATCH BRAND - since 1839
The timepieces of the watch manufacturer Patek Philippe from Geneva are among the best and most expensive in the world. And it still is: At the beginning of 2021, Patek made headlines with the information that they will be discontinuing their Nautilus reference 5711. The result is that the used market, especially for this model, is exploding and demand is still high. On the one hand they make the most beautiful watches in the world and on the other hand value must be preserved - rarity is a key to this (according to Patek President Stern).
In 1839 the watch manufactory was founded by two Polish immigrants - a businessman and nobleman and a watchmaker. They separated after six years and Patek met the talented watchmaker Jean-Adrien Philippe in 1844 at the Paris World Exhibition. This was the starting signal for the watch manufacturer Patek Philippe.
Notable stages: In 1902 they applied for a patent for a double chronograph . Other inventions can be attributed to Patek Philippe:
In 1925 the world's first wristwatch with a perpetual calendar appeared
In 1927 the first wrist chronograph was produced
During the global economic crisis in 1932, a financially strong investor is sought. The Stern family , which has already worked closely with Patek Philippe in the field of dials, takes over the majority of the shares. Since then, Patek Philippe has been owned by the Stern family - now in the 4th generation. Thierry Stern is currently the President.
