The seal of tradition
Pocket Watches
A source of fascination
For decades, pocket watches were the main stage on which Patek Philippe demonstrated its skills. Even though wristwatches have taken their place, they still delight connoisseurs of rare timepieces. As the guardian of high-end watchmaking artistry, we continue to craft pocket watches in small numbers. Their aesthetic finesse remains a source of fascination.
Timeless elegance
The "bélière" crowns the pocket watch gracefully, blending utility and beauty.
Refined dials
Dials with vertical satin finish and gold applied hour markers.
Manually-wound movements
Pocket watch movements are distinguished by the harmonious layout of their bridges.
Graceful chains
Chains in yellow, white and rose gold are available to accompany pocket watches.

A variety of pocket watches
Lépine and savonnette
We offer two styles of pocket watches, which are distinguished by their case and the position of the winding stem of their movement. Savonnette-style watches have a cover attached to the case at 9 o'clock and a crown at 3 o'clock, while Lépine watches have an open-face case and a crown at 12 o'clock.

Excellence at Work
rare Handcrafts Pocket Watches
As heir to the grand Genevan tradition, Patek Philippe is dedicated to preserving all the Rare Handcrafts that have been used to decorate timepieces for more than four centuries. The result is exceptional creations, including pocket watches — often one of a kind — that showcase these fine crafts on the brink of extinction.
