Progress of Patek Philippe
Progress of Patek Philippe
Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish aristocrat, founded Patek, Czapek & Co with a fellow Pole in 1839. In 1845, Adrien Philippe, a French watchmaker and the inventor of the modern stem-winding and setting mechanism for watches, became a partner in the firm. Patek Philippe was to become the renowned manufacturer of complicated watches. From the Henry Graves watch to the Calibre 2000, Patek Phillipe has established itself as the leader in traditional watchmaking.
When the Patek Philippe 5959 was launched in 2005 it was a real and full surprise to discover this absolutely purist watch and its split seconds chronograph calibre that is still (and may for ever remain?) the thinnest of its kind. The watch is a dream piece without any doubt but it remains the summit of the modern chronograph offerings, so simple and so unreachable.
The launch of the Patek Philippe 5960 in January 2006 was another surprise! If the 5959 was a "tour de force", a watch for the sake of the intrinsic classical chronographs beauty, so small that its case and dial were just a show case for its calibre, the 5960 on the contrary was a watch intended for the active users of the modern world. The 5960 was a watch of functions. Its automatic winding, its annual calendar were perfect ways (or excuses) to make it an everyday watch! The Nautilus 5980 was offering an even sportier option, a watch that sailors could use. Maybe the 5980 was a tribute to the sailing exploits of Mr Philippe Stern? Whatever the reasons be the two automatic references turned to be a real success!
