Patek Philippe

Visited PP Museum for the first time. Watched the theater video and was very interested to learn and find more about historical aspect of the Brand. Also had seen so many unimaginable priceless beautiful watches. Worth a visit!!! ...  

Hope you can make it this year!

This is one place I really want to visit. Did you take photos of specific pieces you enjoyed more ?

Hope you will have a wonderful time when you visit. Only the ground floor photos were allowed.

I have to memorize them by my brain and with my eyes 🤣

Been there. I recommend to all. Unbelievable pieces .

It is iPhone 13 promax

Glad that Patek or your AD gave you the "VIP treatment" with a private visit, which brings it to a totally different level Looking forward to being back this summer! Enjoy. ...  

We are grad to have you as a moderator!

I love this museum so much that five years ago I had Patek arrange for me to spend my birthday there with a private tour. The enamel pieces, many of them non-Patek, are amazingly beautiful!

In addition, the Director of the Patek Salon took me around the Salon and presented me with a lovely porcelain dish.

...I'd like to ask you that already visited the Museum what do you think is absolutely worthwhile visiting and how long would it take. Thanks in advance.

Below is an introduction from Patek’s own site to get a sense before visiting. Without exaggeration, you’ll have a chance to see THE very best horology has been able to produce over the last several centuries….Hope you’ll enjoy!👍🥂 www.patek.com ... 

I will report back, also adding details (and pictures, this time) about the visit to the AP Museum that I've scheduled for the day before

My extremely limited funds will never allow me to own pieces from the brands but this doesn't stop me from cultivating my Passion in every way that I can.

Of course, I deeply love each and every one of my pieces (and I'm also really proud of them since they ALL come from my salary....in fact, sometimes I feel they are the reason why I keep working at my age, even if I already....proved quite a few good Math... 

[OT] As a Math fan I would really love to know (in private maybe) something about your career. My goal, when I retire in 15 years or so, is to earn a second degree in Maths. BTW, right now I'm reading A Mathematician Apology by Hardy 😀 [/OT]

Yes the Passion is the most important feeling!!!

Are you going during the Watches and Wonder 2022?? Wow!!🤩. If not then you should stay for that at least!!

You need an invitation for that.

Thanks for the pictures, Filip

The vintage PP hand crafted movements were among some of the best. It's what built the company and the respect of the industry and enthusiasts back in the 1960s. This movement was made by VP and finished by PP. Have a look 👍 ...  

Thanks so much for the beautiful movement photo! It is totally beyond words.

I also visited at there in 2004. It is worth of visiting and there are really stunning watches.

Only the ground floor was allowed but watches are on the first floor and up.

Visiting this sacred place is on my bucket list. I just never seem to find the right time. I can understand why they would not want photos taken within. These watches are definitely meant to be seen with the naked eye, and I think it preserves how magical... 

I was working in Italy and was able to get to Geneva to visit the Patek Philippe Museum. It was definitely high on my list of priorities. I went through it twice in two days. The first day, I walked through it by myself just to take it all in. On the seco... 

I understand that this brand does not massively punch out the watches made from machines like Rolex. But if you compare them especially before the mass production , the finishing needs for earlier models needs more time and energy one by one and it’s more... 

Doesn’t the glass and gold arc above the entrance resemble a blue dialed golden ellipse?

In April … do I need to pre book the tickets or can anyone go on the day ?

The tip I recommend you is that go to the salon in Geneve and try your dream watch hand by hand in the 2022 catalog. Then talk to the Patek employee that you want to visit the museum. I am sure you will be given a nice present that you do not need to preb...
