The history of the Patek Phillipe brand dates back to the nineteenth century. It all started in the year 1839 with a Polish watch maker named Antoni Patek. Anoti Patek along with his Polish migrant friend Franciszek Czapek, started their own atelier in the bustling city of Geneva in Switzerland. But within a few years of their collaboration, the partnership ended. In the year 1844 they formally separated. Within a year Antoni Patek found another capable partner named Adrien Philippe. Adrien Philippe was a Frenchman, and is best known for his invention of a winding mechanism which incorporated the keyless winding concept. This partnership turned out to be legendary and in the year 1851 Patek Philippe & Co was formally founded.
