Considered by most to be the world's premier watchmakers, Patek Philippe watches have been gracing the wrists and pockets of the elite since 1851. Like all, top-notch watchmakers, Patek Philippe's home base is Geneva Switzerland. Queen Victoria took a liking to Patek Philippe watches, so much so that she created a trend towards them in 19th Century Britannia. Intellectuals will be flattered to know that Albert Einstein wore a Patek Philippe . Catholics will be comforted to know that His Holiness, Pope Pius IX was a customer.
Patek Philippe makes the most complicated watches in the world. Some say that simplicity is elegant, but with features such as, a thermometer, the date of Easter, the ability to determine the time of sunrise and sunset, and even when finicky February has a 29th day, complications are hard to refuse.

Patek's print advertising has been very effective. "You never own a Patek Philippe, you merely pass it on to the next generation"
I still don't like at all that combination of golden and silver on luxury watches, but this looks stylish.
