Patek Philippe hosts major watch exhibition in Milan

The Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition has opened at the City Oval (formerly Palazzo delle Scintille) in Milan. Running until October 18, 2026, the exhibition showcases over 90 historical timepieces, including great complications, unique pieces, and contemporary creations.

Laura Gervasoni, General Director of Patek Philippe Italy, noted that the exhibition serves as a journey through the brand's 185-year history and the craftsmanship required to create its products. The event marks the first time the maison has brought its entire universe to Italy, following similar exhibitions in cities such as Dubai, London, New York, and Tokyo.

The display highlights the brand's origins, including historical narratives such as the 1845 secret correspondence between Antoine Norbert de Patek and Jean Adrien Philippe. The exhibition also features specialized pieces, such as an enamel work depicting Italy in black and white and timepieces featuring artistic elements like a 16th-century scene.
