    Short History:During the Polish uprising in 1830, Norbert de Patek, a Polish refugee settled in Geneva, preferring exile rather than prison. Geneva at the time, was the capital of watches and jewelry. Nine years later with his friend and compatriot, the talented watchmaker François Czapek, they set about using their talents and founded the watch manufacturer Patek, Czapek & Co, with headquarters in Geneva. Their art reflects the themes of the history of Poland, as the portraits of revolutionary heroes, legends of the tenth and twelfth centuries, and the cult of the Black Virgin. Unfortunatelly in 1844 Czapek and Patek had separated in cause of disagreement between them. In 1844 Mr. Patek met the French watchmaker, Mr. Adrien Philippe. At the Paris Exhibition of industrial products in 1844, Philippe presented his pioneering stem winding and setting system by the crown. It represents a giant step forward in watchmaking because until then all timepieces had to be wound and set with a separate key, which could be lost or incorrectly used. This fantastic discovery immediately interested Antoine Patek. After that when Mr. Philippe became officially associated the company, in 1851, these two men formed a partnership and founded the firm Patek Philippe & Co. In 1932, the company was purchased by Charles and Jean Stern, two brothers and since then, “Patek Philippe SA” remains a family business, with the 3rd and 4th generation to head: Mr. Philippe Stern, President and M. Thierry Stern, his son, Vice-President.
At present days Patek Philippe is an independent company, enjoys total creative freedom to design, produce one of the best timepieces in the world. With the experience of more than 70 patents, Patek Philippe is the only manufacture that produce all of its mechanical movements according to the strict specifications of the Geneva Seal. These precious, timeless elegant watches are proudly handed down from one generation to another. These noble watches are the result of the latest generation of technology associated with traditional watchmaking process.
 Thank You For Bidding and Good Luck!

         
         Recommendations for the owner of antiquarian watches: All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
          - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
          - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
          - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
          - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
         - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
         - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
        - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
        - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
       - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
       - IF the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
      - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
      - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
      - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
     - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING:      Vintage watches are very delicate and I package to the highest degree to prevent damage.

      High altitude flights can be hard on watches due to extreme temperature changes. This can cause the oil viscosity to decrease (gum up) and prevent a watch from ticking (the balance moving freely etc.). It may need to be oiled when it arrives regardless of its recent servicing (if applicable). Although this is only a very slight possibility it can occasionally happen.

    Please bear in mind that you are buying a used watch and it will require service at some point in time.Free Shipping WorldWide Including Insurance.
