AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

PHILIPPE PATEK – Highlights – Herbert James

100% new, still protected by its original plastic film - Factory sealed!

This richly illustrated volume explores the emotional, historical, and technical bond between watches and their owners, recounting some of the most important creations in the history of horology.


In 1832, a young rebel named Antoni Norbert Patek de Prawdzic fled war-torn Poland and embarked on a professional journey that would lead him to meet watchmaker Jean-Adrien Philippe, inventor of the crown-winding mechanism with integrated movement. Since the founding of Patek Philippe 160 years ago, the brand remains, without a doubt, one of the most prestigious and traditional watchmaking houses in the world. This illustrated work presents the most exclusive and refined timepieces ever produced by the Geneva brand, accompanied by historical information and captivating photographs. It reveals several emblematic models from three of the manufacture’s finest families: the Calatrava collection, both simple and sought-after; the innovative sporty Nautilus line; and the Gondolo family, which spans generations. Each watch is accompanied by a complete technical fiche. This book is a must-have for casual enthusiasts as well as long-time connoisseurs of the brand.
