Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe Pagoda (Reference 5500J). A yellow gold manual wristwatch.
Description
Patek Philippe was established in 1839, named after two of its founders, Antoni Patek and Adrien Philippe. Since 1932, the company has been owned by the Stern family in Switzerland and remains the last family-owned independent watch manufacturer in Geneva. The year 1851 led to a renaming and expansion of the brand. Not only did Patek Philippe showcase their pocket watches at the Great Exhibition in London, but Queen Victoria acquired a pendant watch with diamond roses on blue enamel. Includes Patek Philippe box.
