Thank you for visiting your Owners platform: an exclusive curation of important Patek Philippe news and informative content.

Volume V, issue eight of the Patek Philippe magazine is an exploration of fine craftsmanship and creativity, from the technical wonder of the annual calendar complication to the wearable sculptures of Roberto Capucci.

The Magazine Extra tab is home to two new videos, which supplement these features: in the first, the now retired Head of Research and Development Philip Barat and the movement designer Cédric Fague reflect on the annual calendar complication, a mechanism that helped define their careers; and in the second, the fashion historian Sofia Gnoli explores the extensive archives at the Roberto Capucci Foundation.
