As Foulkes writes in his introduction, "Patek Philippe is a watch brand that inspires an almost religious fervour in its devotees". Being a total Patekaholic myself, these are sentiments I can relate to. Foulkes is an excellent writer and with wit and scholarly insight, the story of Patek Philippe unfolds from the birth of its founders to the present day. The book is filled with fascinating facts and some wonderful anecdotes - one of my favourites being a rather tardy letter which Tsar Nicholas II sent to Patek Philippe to thank them for, let's face it rather a special watch (an 18ct gold, hunting cased, perpetual calendar, minute repeating, moon-phase watch) which they had presented to him....10 years earlier.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with paintings, photographs and vintage advertisements, the story of this illustrious watchmaker is brought to life.
These books are wrapped in Patek Philippe branded tissue paper and presented in a cardboard Patek Philipe carrying case.
Published in 2016 by Preface, part of the Penguin Random House Group.
