Geneva, Switzerland — The Patek Philippe Museum's special exhibition marking its 25th anniversary opens to the public on November 13, 2026, and runs until October 31, 2027, according to exhibition coverage published on November 12.
Originally inaugurated on November 9, 2001, the museum holds a collection of approximately 2,500 timepieces, automata, precious objects and miniature enamel portraits, spanning five centuries of European horological craftsmanship.
At the heart of the exhibition is a selection of eleven timepieces personally chosen by the museum's founder, Philippe Stern, including the Calibre 89 pocket watch created in 1989 for the manufacture's 150th anniversary, featuring 33 complications and 1,728 components, and an astronomical pocket watch commissioned by American automobile manufacturer James Ward Packard, with a celestial chart showing 500 gold stars.
A retrospective on the museum's third floor marks 50 years of the Nautilus, introduced in 1976, and presents four exclusive models created for the anniversary limited series, running until early 2027.
The museum is also presenting recent acquisitions, including a pendant watch dating to approximately 1650 with a movement by Parisian watchmaker Jehan Cremsdorff, decorated with turquoise enamel, diamonds and goldwork.
