Ladies Patek Philippe Watches
May 1st, 1839 two Polish immigrants, Antoine Norbert de Patek (Salesman) and François Czapek (Watchmaker) joined forces to found “Patek, Czapek & Cie”. In 1844 Mr. Patek met the French watchmaker, Mr. Adrien Philippe in Paris where the latter presented his pioneering stem winding and setting system by the crown. In 1845 when Czapek decided to leave the company and to continue his activity on his own, the company name changed for “Patek & Cie”.
Later on, in 1851 when Mr. Philippe became officially associated the company was rebaptised “Patek Philippe & Cie”, before changing once more in 1901 for “Ancienne Manufacture d’Horlogerie Patek Philippe & Cie, S.A.”.
In 1932, the company was purchased by Charles and Jean Stern, two brothers and since then, “Patek Philippe S.A.” remains a family owned firm, with 3rd and 4th generation at its head : Mr. Philippe Stern, President and Mr. Thierry Stern, his son, Vice-President.

The Calatrava Cross : A legend behind the name
The name Calatrava has deep historical roots that plunge back to the middle-ages when in 1158 a Spanish religious order defended the Calatrava citadel against the moors. At the end of the nineteenth century, Patek Philippe adopted the emblem of the brave Spanish knights as its brand symbol, which signs Patek Philippe watches today.
