Many thanks Oliver...
...for this quite comprehensive report.
I see that you made quite a selection so as to extract only "few" pix out of the more than 400 that you took !
And YES for sure I confirm it is worth coming for paying a long visit. PP did things in the best possible way : decoration is simply great (elegant, nice, classical, understated=in short very Patek), lighting is perfect (timepieces can be seen ideally without excess light and reflection), flow of people is well organized also (neither crowded nor empty rooms) and most important a stunning exhibition giving the opportunity to admire the full current collection, wonderful pieces from Patek Museum, interesting live demonstrations (watchmakers...).
As you understand, I am delighted about this trip and have only one regret: that we did not have a chance to meet with other PuristS at this occasion.
Best,
Mike
Patek Philippe KunstWerkUhr exhibition in Munich – Part I
KunstWerkUhr is an outstanding exhibition which Germany never saw before and won´t see again, sometime soon. Not everybody can be invited to Geneva and therefore they decided to bring the world of Patek Philippe outside. Let´s have a look. By celebrating ...
I don't want to recognize the guy close to Mr and Mrs Stern...
Bad souvenir for me after a 1982 game! ;) Thanks a lot Oliver for the first part of the report. Fx
You know him more as a big Rolex fan ;-)
... who also admits that Patek is the highlight in the watch world. No wonder he has attended. Moritz
KunstWerkUhr – Part II
We are still in area manufactory , but now we have a first look on some Grandes Complications . Most impressive pieces on display and only the sky was the limit. When there are stars and lots of people, the famous Star Caliber 2000 is close. It is the thi...
Star Caliber 2000....
WOW, that is the most beautiful piece of art and caliber ... please execute it into a wearable wrist piece one day in the near future Patek Philippe. Magic!
KunstWerkUhr – Part III
Are you ready for more? Ready for the museum …? OK. Area Museum and Crafts : Mr Philippe Stern (in person) has chosen a dedicated selection for you. Of course it was not possible to show the full museum’s collection with more than 2.000 pieces, but noneth...
Impressive
Many thanks for this impressive post! Lovely, lovely piece uniques, like the" Hirsche" pocket watch. There has been a lot of effort being put by Patek to stage such a gigantic exhibition. Best Moritz
Moritz, once more eclectic taste ...
by you. I like that! For your pleasure: 10 different colours, 12 up to 15 times in the ove (between 750°C and 800°C) and more than 100 hours of highly concentrated working - only for the dial. The case needs 150 hours, just for the engraving. The work and...
I'll take the 55 mm pilot watch
not the most beautifull but it must be very cool to have a truly unique watch thanks for the interesting post Oliver, I only wish I could be in Munich for the moment
Bruno, especially for you ...
I really like it, for what it is. Would you mind the condition, in this case? Oliver ...
thanks ;)
Ni, I would not mind. Must be nice to have something really rare. On the other hand,,, years ago it was sold for 1.7 million if I remeber correct For that price I could buy several amazing pièces which I like a lot more So, rarity is not enough.....
Impressive gathering
I can't imagine what it must be like to organize such an event, with all these timepieces. Thanks a lot for sharing Oliver. I must say my heart skiped a heartbeat when I imagine myself in front of the full Nautilus familly. And also another one in front o...
Amazing Report of an Amazing Event
Okay, when are they going to do this event in USA? Seriously, we're missing out over here. Great event. Truly. Makes me respect the Patek Philippe brand even more than before. Thanks for sharing. A lot to take in. And totally amazing. Hmm, living in Germa...

Mike, it was a great pleasure ...
to meet you in Munich. "GTG" - once more, quality is better than quantity :-) Cordially, Oliver
I was more focused on his good sense of humour ...
but that watch was on his wrist: To me it´s the 5164A. Oliver ...
You have to be modest in front of your clients!
But I saw him with beautiful pieces like 5970J and 5208P as well :-)
Fabulous report Oliver
Thanks for taking on a journey to the impressive PP KunstWerkUhr exhibition! Cheers, Anthony
Thx for your excellent report and photos...and curious about...
Thx...Oliver! Just curious to me. Would you tell which model that Mr Thierry Stern is wearing? Thanks.
Thank you Oliver
Wonderful report! Really enjoyed it. Thank you! When I met Thierry and Philip Stern in Geneva this summer with the group of US collectors making the factory visit, both were wearing an aquanaut. Philip Stern said that it has a new movement with silicon pa...
Thank you Oliver
for the excellent report, as always. Patek is always at its best, and every exhibition it hosts continues to surprises and impresses its audience. Thank you again for the wonderful pictures, especially from the ones who didn't get the chance to pay a visi...
Thank you
For the great pictures and reports this far! I also enjoyed the Patek exposition immensely. I think Patek made a tremendous effort and the result is really exceptional. I encourage everyone to visit the exposition- your pictures and report should be a gre...
