Patek Philippe WatchesPatek Philippe was founded in Geneva around 1840 by an exiled Polish nobleman; his name was Antoine Norbert de Patek and then was joined by Francois Czepek; but although Czepek was the financial muscle and Patek was the creative genius; Czepek was relegated to receiving only interest on his investment after about five years; it was at about this time the Jean Philippe joined the company. The two of them invented some of the most important and the standard for most complex watches; such as the perpetual calendar, repeater and chronograph utilizing split seconds – truly amazing inventions utilized by many of the watchmakers of their time; the early 20th century. As far as longevity is concerned, Patek Philippe days were numbered and new stewardship and ownership changed hands – the company was taken over by Charles and Jean Stern; and the company Patek Philippe is now a third generation Stern owned enterprise.
