Patek Philippe, an iconic house in the watch industry. It is the only independent company that continues to be family-run by the Sterns. Known for having created a system that allowed time setting and winding by means of a crown and not by keys as before.

Patek Philippe has always maintained the growing value of its models. It is estimated that from its debut in 1839 to 2010, no more than 1 million watches have been produced.
