Patek Philippe

A classic.

A rotating star chart shows the northern sky as it turns overhead, along with the phases and path of the moon. An ellipse under the crystal marks the part of the sky visible from Geneva. Patek sets 38 baguette diamonds around the bezel.

At midnight the large date, the day, and the moon phase all change in an instant. Patek filed six patent applications for the mechanism. The square case holds a blue dial embossed with horizontal lines.

Windows under 12 show the day and month. At 6 o'clock a hand points to the hour on a 24-hour scale around the moon phase, with the date in a window below. Baguette diamonds mark the hours on a blue dial that darkens toward the edge.

The day, date, and month read in one line across a single window under 12, and Patek holds three patents on the mechanism that drives it. Small round windows show the leap year and day or night. On this version, Patek pairs a silvery dial with charcoal-gray markers, hands, and strap.

Patek introduced this blue lacquered version in 2026. A white tachymeter scale around the dial lets you read speed from the chronograph.

The watch chimes the hours, quarters, and minutes on two gongs when you move the slide on the left side of the case. Patek made the dial of tinted blue sapphire, so you can see the movement through it. A hand moving along an arc shows the date.

Patek gives this white gold chronograph a vintage case, with stepped lugs, decorated pushers, and a domed sapphire crystal over a rose-gilt dial. It keeps going at least 65 hours on a full wind.

One movement combines a split-seconds chronograph, which can time two events that start together, with a perpetual calendar and moon phases. This white gold version has a navy sunburst dial.

A red center hand measures tenths of a second, which takes a faster-beating movement than most chronographs have. Patek filed 31 patents for it.

This World Time shows all 24 time zones with day and night, and its date follows whichever city you set at 12 o’clock, a mechanism Patek patented. A pusher at 10 o’clock changes the city.

Patek’s current Nautilus comes in white gold, 41mm across and only 8.2mm thick, with a blue dial that shades to black at the edge.

This is Patek’s classic dress watch, in rose gold with a hobnail-pattern bezel and small seconds. It keeps going at least 65 hours on a full wind.

Patek shapes the Golden Ellipse to the golden ratio, and this platinum version is only 5.9mm thick, with a single diamond at 6 o’clock. Patek introduced this larger size in 2008, for the design’s 40th anniversary.

Patek’s grande sonnerie strikes the hours and quarters on its own and repeats the time on demand, on three gongs. Two indicators show the power left for the watch and for the chimes, on a black Grand Feu enamel dial.

This perpetual calendar shows the day and month in windows at 12 o’clock and the date around the moon phase at 6. Patek polishes the case and its stepped lugs entirely by hand.

This rose gold Nautilus adds a flyback chronograph and a second time zone. A skeleton hand keeps home time, and a solid hand shows local time, which you set with pushers on the side of the case.

Collectors call this 42.2mm white gold Aquanaut the Jumbo. It has a khaki green dial and a composite strap.
