The current collection enhanced with the new models introduced at Baselworld 2009

To grasp the very best of an era through shapes that go well beyond the fashions, to succeed in being both novel and eternal, modern and timeless – such are the challenges and the spirit that have always driven Patek Philippe through each of its creations. The company’s designers have thus created legendary watches that have been established as great classics of elegance: pure simplicity for the round case of the Calatrava, Art Deco variations for the shaped Gondolo models, perfect balance for the Golden Ellipse, casual elegance and sports performance for the Nautilus and Aquanaut collections. The entire current collection was exhibited, along with the latest creations launched during the 2009 Baselworld Show. To mark this exhibition an Italian language catalog was produced, covering the values of the last independent Geneva watch manufacturer and describing the precious timepieces brought together for the event.

Since 1839 and without interruption, Patek Philippe has evolved the traditional art of Geneva watchmaking. The independent watch manufacturer enjoys total creative freedom to design, develop and produce what specialists consider to be the most beautiful watches in the world. Patek Philippe nurtures a tradition of innovation which generated an impressive repertoire of more than 80 patents. To create its precious timepieces of classical design and intrinsic value to be passed on from one generation to the next, the watch manufacturer relies on leading-edge technology while preserving the tradition and ancestral know-how of watchmaking.
