The Patek Philippe ad is a compositional masterpiece. The quality of Patek Philippe watches is guaranteed by the so-called Geneva Seal, the highest form of recognition in the watch sector. In order to receive it, a movement has to meet 12 technical criteria and two other administrative criteria added for regulation. Every piece stamped with the Seal is numbered in order to insure its authenticity.Patek Philippe is a name that resonates deeply with watchmakers and watch enthusiasts alike. They are widely regarded as the single greatest watchmaking marque, with a brilliant history, and a reputation for unparalleled excellence in both masterful Grande Complications and simple 'time only' wristwatches. Creating the most complicated portable timekeepers in the world and dazzling wristwatches like the Sky Moon Tourbillon lends an aura of excellence to even their simplest timepieces and their prestige among collectors with taste cannot be easily overstated.For this reputation to be truly deserved, it is imperative that all the offerings of Patek Philippe demonstrate the highest standards. The 'common' Patek Philippe owner always knows that the watch on his wrist is deserving of the Patek Philippe name, in its own modest way.The Patek Philippe Museum of Geneva serves as the historical memory of the company and beyond offering a journey through five centuries of European watchmaking, it leads one through 160 years of manufacturing history of the most important models. Among the latest watches created by Patek Philippe, one that stands out is the Sky Moon, an astronomical wristwatch that reproduces the spectacle that is the solar system in movement.The brand is now headed by another Philippe. Philippe Stern, whose family acquired the company in 1932, is the third generation to head the company, and plans are underway for the succession of Thierry Stern, the president’s son, to continue the tradition. The eventual retirement of the elder Stern will leave more time for his leisure pursuits of sailing, skiing and dog sledding. And the handing down of the company will reinforce the notion that Patek Philippe is among the family heirlooms to be treasured for generations.
