The Art of Gemsetting
Where watchmaking meets Haute Joaillerie. Our gemsetters practice an extremely delicate art, which requires skills that are further refined over time.
"Watch Art" Grand Exhibition Milan 2026
In 2026, Patek Philippe celebrates its watchmaking tradition and offers an immersive experience into its world and history in the heart of Milan.
The power of independence
The last family-owned Genevan manufacture
Owned by the Stern family since 1932, our Manufacture benefits from full creative freedom, which allows us to design, develop and craft watches that connoisseurs consider to be the world's finest - as pledged by our founders Antoine Norbert de Patek and Jean Adrien Philippe.
Spanning over 133,650 square meters, our ultra-modern production facility based in Geneva features state-of-the-art CNC machinery.
All the watch parts we produce are hand finished, not only for aesthetic purposes but also to increase the performance and durability of our watches.
While some of our employees work with Silinvar®, a silicon derivative with revolutionary watchmaking characteristics that we first pioneered...
... others perpetuate the timeless gestures and deftness of touch that have always distinguished Genevan watchmaking artistry, for example with miniature painting on enamel.
A long-term vision
Innovation and Tradition
We have been pursuing traditional Genevan watchmaking artistry without interruption since 1839, safeguarding rare handcrafts, such as enameling and guillochage that would have otherwise disappeared. At the same time, we nurture a tradition of innovation, relying on the latest technologies to further push the boundaries of watchmaking.
Our collections
We have over 150 references in regular production, manufactured in limited quantity to ensure they respect the extremely high quality standards of the Patek Philippe Seal.
Our commitment to service
At Patek Philippe, we pledge to service, repair, or restore any timepiece produced by our manufacture since 1839, regardless of its age.
