Patek Philippe Watches

Swiss

It shouldn’t be surprising that a Patek Philippe holds the world auction record for a watch ($31.2 million for a Patek Grandmaster Chime, sold at Christie’s). Known for impeccable craftsmanship and some of the most complicated timepieces ever created, the brand is considered by many to be the height of fine watchmaking. Collectors simply love Patek Philippe watches.

The house was founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish expats Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek. Czapek left the firm, and in 1845, Patek partnered with French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Catering to the glitterati of Europe, the pair counted among their clients Tolstoy, Pope Pius IX and Queen Victoria, as well as Countess Koscowicz of Hungary, for whom they created the first Swiss-made wristwatch in 1868. They also had their eye on the American market and in 1851 entered an arrangement with Tiffany & Co. still in effect today.

During the Great Depression, brothers Jean and Charles Stern, who had previously supplied Patek Philippe with watch dials, bought the company, and it continues to be run by the Stern family today.

Under the Sterns, the house has developed some of its most famous models, including the Calatrava, an elegantly minimal dress watch introduced in 1932 and named for the Calatrava Cross (the company’s logo since 1887), and the Nautilus, the brand’s first sports watch, conceived by legendary designer Gérald Genta in 1976.

Despite the house’s longevity, it’s rumored that it has manufactured fewer than a million Patek watches, making each one all the more coveted. (The brand's pieces are understandably attractive to counterfeiters — make sure you know how to spot a fake Patek Philippe watch.)

Located in New York, NY

A Study In Texture And Form The Patek Philippe reference 3773 is a product of the 1980s, an era when integrated bracelets and unconventional case shapes were a primary focus for the brand. This piece stands apart due to its rare and deeply textured dial. The silvered "Linen" finish, with its fine, thread-like pattern, creates a visual depth that is uncommon in the Classique line. Paired with an all-gold construction and a sharp, rectangular case, this watch represents a specific and confident style of Swiss watchmaking. The Details That Define It What elevates this example is the combination of its specific features. The full 18K yellow gold integrated case and bracelet create a seamless look on the wrist, a hallmark of high design from the period. The dial is the clear centerpiece, and the decision to use a contrasting black date wheel against the silvered background is a subtle but impactful choice. It demonstrates a level of consideration that goes beyond a standard production model, making the watch feel more deliberate and curated. A Well-Preserved Example This watch is in Very Good condition. The 18K yellow gold case is in good shape, showing honest wear but retaining its original lines. The rare linen dial is perfect, with its intricate pattern fully intact. The integrated yellow gold bracelet is in excellent shape, consistent with the overall condition of the piece. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear. For The Discerning Collector This is a watch for someone who appreciates the design-forward ethos of 1980s Patek...

A Study In Absolute Minimalism The Patek Philippe Ellipse is a foundational piece, a watch whose design is famously based on the "golden ratio" for a shape that is neither round nor rectangular. Within the Ellipse family, references with stone dials represent a significant step up in both rarity and aesthetic purity. This 3748/900 pairs the iconic case shape with a deep, flawless black onyx dial. The result is a watch stripped of all unnecessary elements, leaving only form, color, and texture. It is one of the most confident and impactful expressions of Patek Philippe's design-forward history. The Uncracked Onyx Dial For collectors of stone dial watches...

Questions About Patek Philippe Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes. Patek Philippe watches are waterproof — some more than others. In 1979, Patek Philippe devised a watch that was fully waterproof down to 120 meters, which was astonishing for the times. However, Patek Philippe dress watches aren’t designed to be in water regularly, but two of its sport watches, the Aquanaut and the Nautilus, are designed for wearing in the water, and they’re water-resistant down to 120 meters. Shop a collection of vintage and new Patek Philippe pieces from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 11, 2024
    No, Patek Philippe silver dials are not solid silver. The Swiss watchmaker’s dials are most frequently made of brass. The use of the word “silver” in describing a Patek Philippe silver-dial watch is intended to refer to its color, which usually owes to finishing that involves a galvanic painting or enameling process.

    Find vintage Patek Philippe watches on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Patek Philippe quartz watches are battery powered, but automatic and manual winding ones are not. The batteries on quartz watches usually last for a few years before needing to be replaced. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary Patek Philippe timepieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 11, 2024
    To check to see if your Patek Philippe is real, look closely at the dial. Any flaw on the dial is evidence of fakery. Are the numbers in the right font? Are the hands the right style and length? Experts recommend that you examine a watch you're considering using a loupe and compare it with the same model in a reference book or auction catalogue.

    Created in-house and by hand, real Patek Philippe cases will feel substantial. There will be nothing slight or irregular about them.

    No, Patek Philippe does not use ETA movements in its new watches. However, the brand once did. Early models used movements made by the watch company Lemania.
