Homecoming to PP Museum and Geneva Salon
On the way to attend our little daughter’s high school graduation ceremony in the UK, my wife and I took the opportunity to stop over in Geneva for two nights.
Aside from spending a fantastic day in Villeret, I couldn’t miss the chance to bring my 6196P back to its birthplace—the sanctuary of horology.
We enjoyed a wonderful private guided tour of the Patek Philippe Museum. It was fascinating to see the original pieces of horology from various brands, as well as all those Patek Philippe’s iconic timepieces (and automated miniature machines!)
I even had the chance to take a wrist shot with a current Patek Philippe watchmaker. 😍
On our last morning in Geneva, we visited the Geneva Salon. Not only did we see nearly the entire current collection, but we also had the chance to view the famous pair of Tiffany Safes inside the Salon!
It was truly an unforgettable trip to the city of horology. Heartfelt gratitude to La Maison 😊
Cheers,
Henry
p.s. I hadn’t corrected the timezone of UK yet, and we nearly went straight to the museum after getting off from plane😅

A wonderful experience for sure!
I had the opportunity a few years back. Someday I will post some pics. Congrats on your daughter's accomplishment!
Thank you, NautNut. Geneva is such a charming city, isn't it? We are proud of our little one :)
Always a Pleasure to visit the Patek Museum and Congrats on your Daughter's Graduation 😊👍
Thank you, Salman. There are so many wonderful exhibits inside the Museum. It's impossible to see all of them in a day, not to say just 2hrs....
I completely agree, I covered the Museum over three consecutive visits to the point the tour guides thought I worked there 😄
It sounds like a fantastic experience, Henry!
The Museum is definitely a watch collector’s dream place. I’m really looking forward to visiting again someday soon.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for sharing with us.

Thank you, Emmanuel. The Museum is indeed a huge candy house for all watch aficionadoes. One visit is simply not enough ;)
Merci, mon ami. I am glad that I brought the 6196P with me during this trip. It did survive the hot climate, despite earning a few marks on the lugs.... but who cares ? (fortunately not a dent)
Hi Henry, glad that you saw the museum !
I was totally amazed by the number of iconic watches in the museum and how many watches were in there ! It was such an unbelievable experience for me, albeit too short.
Thank you, Gordon. The cloisonné WT's shot were taken for you. There is one more shot on the wonderful cloisonné table clock. Time is never enough inside the Museum. Cheers, Henry
looks like you had a fantastic time in Geneva! and congratulations on your daughter's graduation!
First congratulations on your daughter’s graduation!
Second - I love this post. Wonderful photos of what sounds like a great experience. Your beautiful calatrava looks like it belongs in this museum.
Thank you, Gary. My wife and I are very proud of our daughter. The visit to the Museum is truly a fantastic experience. It's certainly a homecoming for my 6196P :)
Thanks a lot for sharing your fantastic experience and congrats on your daughter's graduation 🥂
I really love every single time I visit Geneva, so I fully understand,. it's kind of magic for us crazy watch lovers 😁
Thank you, Miloš! It's wonderful to see my daughter turns from a little girl to a charming young lady in a blink. Geneva is truly a city of dream for all watch lovers!
Cheers to that Henry! 🥂
My son is still 12, but he is growing so fast... I already have a premature teenager at home!
Yes, Miloš. Children indeed grow up fast. Without noticing, they already quickly turn from kids to teenagers, followed by young adults.....
Fortunately, with the handy cell phone, we can look at the photos of fond memories from time to time 
Congrats on your daughter's graduation.
Looks like you made great use of your time there too.
Thanks for these pics. One of the most beautiful country on Earth.

Thank you, Goh. Indeed have fully utilized this summer trip.
But frankly, the stop over at Geneva was just planned in a couple of weeks before the trip 😅
I am happy you managed to visit the museum, there is nothing comparable to this stunning place
You will not believe it but I did visit it five times already! And I enjoyed each time as if it was the first one 😉. And Geneva also is always a great place to be in…
Big congrats on your daughter’s graduation 👏👏
