Founded in 1839 by immigrant Polish brothers, Patek Philippe has become one of the world's most widely respected watch companies. Patek Philippe: The Impossible Collection celebrates the Maison by covering their 100 most memorable and important timepieces. From the late 1800s through today, the book captures the brand's spirit of innovation, from the 1889 debut of the perpetual calendar to the modern-day Nautilus line. Overall, the book features over 180 illustrations, spread over 210 pages that are hand-bound using traditional techniques, making this tome nearly as much of an heirloom as the watches spotlighted within.
