A young rebel named Antoni Norbert Patek de Prawdzic fled war-torn Poland in 1832 and embarked upon a career path that led him to watchmaker Jean-Adrien Philippe, inventor of the revolutionary built-in crown winding mechanism. In the 160 years since the pair founded Patek Philippe, the line has remained, without a doubt, one of the most traditional and noble watch manufacturers in the world. This illustrated book couples the most exclusive and beautiful timepieces the Genevan brand has ever manufactured with informative history and alluring photographs. Featured inside are several of the most popular examples from three of the company's outstanding watch families: the uncomplicated but cherished Calatrava collection, the groundbreaking sports line Nautilus, and the cross-generational Gondolo family. Each watch is accompanied by a complete list of technical specifications. This book is an essential acquisition for both casual fans and long-time connoisseurs of the brand. Review: A Patek Philippe book - An entertaining read on watches. Review: Nice - Love this Highlights collection.

Patek Phillippe HIGHLIGHTS - hardback book
If you are interested in high-end watches and in particular Patek Philippe, then this book is lightweight and uninspired. It provides a brief history of the company and its founders, and then follows with a number of early models with pictures and specification (pretty much brochure-like). The second half of the book deals with modern PP watches with the same format. It includes very brief descriptions of complications and super complications, but nothing very informative. I would have thought that there would have been scope to easily include more information about complications and some deatiled pictures/schematics on the calibres produced by PP. The language is down as ENGLISH, but the book is repeated both in German and English, so a lot of wasted space. If this was produced in English only (as advertised) then there could have been a lot more detail. I recently purchased the Patek Philippe 2010/20111 hardback brochure with over 200 pages on eBay for under £15 including postage, and this gave loads more information and for me is my definitive guide. So, don't waste your money on this book and get something a lot more comprehensive.
