You made a wonderful choice by paying a visit to the Museum, H. --- many thanks for sharing your experience, and happy you had a great time! ;-)
As the Patek moderator I'm obviously very familiar with the Museum, and I'm passionately recommending it not only to our Patek fans and collectors, but to ALL lovers of fine horology! 
The Museum is arguably home to THE most prestigious private collection in the world, inclusive of many of the finest timepieces the history of this discipline has produced. It spans over four centuries of groundbreaking horology, and showcases a selection of watches both pre- and post-1839, Patek Philippe's birth year. This unique collection, which belongs to the Stern family, was assembled over the course of several decades by the current Honorary President of the company.
Too bad you also didn't have a chance to see the "antique collection," some of the most spectacular non-Patek timepieces that pre-date 1839... Hope you will on the occasion of your next trip down to Geneva!
It's of course possible to visit the Museum privately any time by booking a tour, or better still, you may want to ask your AD for the possibility of receiving a couple of VIP tickets (via your local Patek HQs), so to make this experience even more special. The Museum is also a stop of any organized visit to the Manufacture, again offered to select clients of authorized Patek retailers (some of our Norwegian friends just came back from it, and I understand they had a marvelous time! ;-)
As your Patek moderator, I'm only kindly reminding Everyone to please refrain from posting pictures of the inside of the Museum in the future (it is Patek Philippe's private property, and they made an explicit request to all Guests in this sense).
Thanks again for sharing this! Cheers,

PP Museum visit
I had a few hours to kill while waiting for a friend’s flight to arrive in Geneva so I decided to visit the Patek museum. The second floor was closed so admission was free. I visited the third and first floors. The third floor houses an impressive horolog...
One of my favorite museums in the world.
Have been a number of times now but each time just getting better.
I’ve been in Geneva but never went to the PP museum…
Can’t wait to have an excuse to travel back to Switzerland and finally visit it ! I’ll try to go during madame-no-pictures’ lunchtime )) Thx a lot for your little review !
The pictures well taken
U made a few. It must be sensitive for employers to say to visitors to keep photo cameras in the pocket while almost everybody have a phone steady. Maybe to have no museum at all, would be relaxing for them who do not want people make pictures.
Nice pics - try and get a tour booked thru your AD
I had a wonderful guided private tour for about 2 hours - even my wife and mom thoroughly enjoyed it
Nice!!
Was there couple of years ago when I was invited for their factory tour. The museum has some of the most iconic and rare pieces that nobody knew existed. Some references are even used as design ideas for modern watches…
It is unbelievable place
I have also visited at there. I nearly couldn’t believe my eyes that amazing timepieces It was full of.
This is a fantastic museum !
I visited it last week as a part of a manufacture visit where we also got to visit the new building PP06 including archives, case and bracelet manufacturing plus the new area for showing the full PP line up! Highly recommended if you get the opportunity t...
Quite a few, especially world time and women’s,
But most impressive was that we were allowed to see and test almost all current minute repeaters!
