Description from the seller
Patek Philippe Genève – Martin Huber & Alan Banbery
First French-language edition, 1982 – Published in 2,000 copies
An extensive and richly illustrated reference work devoted to the history of Patek Philippe and some of the manufacture’s most important timepieces.
The book explores the origins of the company, the lives of founders Antoine Norbert de Patek and Jean Adrien Philippe, and Patek Philippe’s technical innovations and patents. Its main focus is the manufacture’s historic pocket watches, including highly complicated and particularly significant examples. Movements, cases, dials and historical documents are also presented in detail.
The volume contains numerous colour and black-and-white photographs of watches from the Patek Philippe Museum and important private collections. It also includes reference tables covering movement numbers, production years and calibres from 1839 to 1971, together with a smaller section devoted to wristwatches.
This is the first French-language edition, published in 1982 in a print run of 2,000 copies. The book is an important reference for collectors of Patek Philippe watches, historic timepieces and specialist horological literature.
