Our commitment to sustainability

Preserving our heritage comes with a responsibility towards society, the environment and future generations.

Much more than a simple commitment, sustainability is a value deeply rooted in our business culture. It is reflected in our decisions, our actions and our 10 core values, which guide us every step of the way. This founding spirit is expressed in our constant quest for perfection within the limits of and with respect for quality and resources.

Timeless products

Patek Philippe watches are designed to withstand the passage of time, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. In a world where everything is becoming increasingly impermanent, they embody sustainability in the truest sense of the word. We do everything possible to ensure complete control over our value chain in order to guarantee the high level of sustainability of our products throughout their entire life cycle.
