When it comes to luxury watches, most people know Rolex. But luxury watches is much more than Rolex. If you are really looking for a timeless luxury watch, a one of a kind creation of Swiss craftsmanship and quality, you should consider going beyond a Rolex – did you ever think about a Patek Philippe timepiece?

Patek Philippe is located in Geneve and they are making luxury watches since 1839. And what’s so special about them? Well, this company actually pioneered the split seconds hand, chronograph, perpetual calendar and the minute repeater in watches. Should we say more?

Okay, so Patek Philippe set the record for the most expensive watch ever sold in 1999. The 24 functions, ultra-complicated pocket-watch made for Henry Graves Jr. was auctioned for 11,000,000 dollars.

Patek Philippe was also a major supplier of watches to Queen Victoria, and list goes on with Pope Pius IX, Christian IX and Louise (the king and queen of Denmark) – they were all Patek Philippe customers.
