Introduction

Patek Philippe Museum, a world-class watch museum known as the temple of watchmaking art, has been highly regarded since its opening in 2001. Upon entering the museum, the first thing that catches one's eye is the sculptures of Messrs Patek and Philippe. The museum has four floors and thousands of timepieces are displayed in the main hall. Although named after the Patek Philippe brand, the collection includes timepieces from several centuries. They not only include the world's earliest watch hands, but also various watch works made by Patek Philippe in 1839, including the most complex Caliber 89. It is worth noting that photography is prohibited in the museum and there is no internet signal. Visitors are requested to maintain silence and enjoy the beauty of the watches.
