Some 2,500 watches, automata, precious objects and portrait miniatures on enamel invite the visitor on a fabulous voyage through five centuries of Genevan, Swiss and European horological art, as well as proposing a panoramic view of Patek Philippe’s production since 1839. The museum also has a library with over 8000 publications on time and time measurement.
The Patek Philippe Museum was born of a man’s passion for horology. That man is Philippe Stern, honorary president of the Geneva manufacture, who little by little built up one of today’s most extraordinary horological collections. In doing so, he intended to share his love of the watchmaking art, communicate the splendor of Geneva’s high-watchmaking tradition and ensure that this cultural heritage would be handed down to future generations.
