Antoni Norbert Patek was born in June 14, 1811 and died in March 1, 1877 who was a Polish pioneer
in watchmaking and a creator of Patek Philippe & Co. which is one of the most famous watchmaker
companies.
On May 1, 1839 in Geneva, Antoni Patek together with another Polish immigrant, the gifted Warsaw
watchmaker Franciszek Czapek established their manufacture producing watches. The first pocket
watches were produced on individual orders. Primarily the young’s firm artistic production
reflected themes from Polish history and culture, such as portraits of revolutionary heroes,
legends etc.
The small company Patek, Czapek & Co, which employed a half-dozen of workmen, produced
approximately two hundred watches of quality per annum. The few preserved specimens make
it possible to note the degree of perfection of these first watches, result of a successful
union between artistic research and the technical skill.
Among the collection of The Patek Philippe Museum there are watches presenting Coat of Arms of
Princess Zubów from 1845 and the portraits of Polish general Tadeusz Ko?ciuszko, and Polish prince and marchal of France Józef Poniatowski from 1948.
Increasing disagreement between Patek and Czapek obliged the latter to withdraw. In 1851 Czapek
established Czapek & Co. where he produced watches until 1869. On May 15th, 1845 the place
vacanted by Czapek was filled by 30 year old French Adrien Philippe, who in 1842 invented
the key-less winding mechanism.
On January 1, 1851 Patek & Co. transformed into Patek Philippe & Co.. The company started mass
production of pocket watches.
Both co-owners recognised perfection as their ideal, and the company gained its success thanks
to principles that Antoni Patek left to his descendants: the quality of produced watches
maintained on the highest possible level and the ability of implementing new inventions and
constructive solutions.
