Patek Philippe presented 17 novelties at the Watches and Wonders 2023 at all levels of complexity: grand complications, complications and time-only models. Beyond delivering the usual wow-factor, for the first time since I can remember, a watch brand managed to create a ladies’ piece that got pinched by the boys immediately.
Astonishing Patek Philippe examples make up the two-third of the OAK Collection, also home of the greatest private holding of Patek Philippe for Henry Graves Jr. timepieces. Between 19-25 May, these and dozens of the rarest watches will be on show at the London Design Museum, the first location of a four-stop exhibition tour.
On 19 May, 162 vintage and contemporary museum-quality watches of the OAK Collection embark on a four-stop exhibition world tour from the London Design Museum (19-25 May). We sum up the 11 exhibition chapters and give you updates as we participate in the pre-opening ceremony on 18 May.
Patek Philippe, itself a novelty at the Watches and Wonders, released fantastic casual additions to their Calatrava collection. The time and date 5226G is an instant love, while dressing from the same wardrobe, the 5326G Annual Calendar Travel Time combines the two complications for the first time in a Patek Philippe piece.
In this series we showcase mechanical and artistic wonders that were especially designed for women and others originally for men that come alive on spirited ladies’ wrists. The Phillips Geneva Watch Auction X line up a number of instantly loveable pieces. We browsed the lots at the preview and selected a few.
Two auctions by Phillips Watches in Association with Bacs & Russo make their mark in the 2019 Fall watch sales scene. A gathering of 50 important Double Signed pieces will kick off the auction weekend on 9 November.
