Founded by Polish refugees Antoine Norbert de Patek and François Czapek in 1839, Patek Philippe is a Geneva-based luxury watch and clock manufacturer that has established itself in the years since as a global leader in classic Swiss fine watchmaking.
Standing out for its employment of exemplary workmanship and technology, as evidenced from the various patents held by the brand, the company has also produced some of the most celebrated timepieces, which are presented in Assouline's 'Patek Phillippe: The Impossible Collection'. Here, author Fabienne Reybaud introduces readers to a portfolio of celebrated timepieces that includes the 1926 Grande Complication, 1933 Super Complication pocket watches for American financier Henry Graves, a 1927 pocket watch created for American auto magnate James Ward Packard, and the 2019 Grandmaster Chime, the most expensive watch sold at auction at the time. It all adds up to a comprehensive volume for fans and collectors alike, complemented by a series of original images of rare watches photographed exclusively for this handcrafted coffee table book.
