For over a century, Patek Philippe has adhered to the philosophy of fine craftsmanship, following the production principle of prioritising quality over quantity and meticulous workmanship. Even today, its annual production remains around2.5to3. A single watch takes at least five years from design to completion, and Patek Philippe maintains the tradition of hand-crafting only one watch per year. Complications represent the pinnacle of watchmaking artistry, and Patek Philippe honours this“perfect complexity”with“perfect precision”. Patek Philippe watches manufactured in the nineteenth century, despite their pivot ends having rotated on bearings for over120hundred million times, remain astoundingly accurate.
