Patek Philippe has a long history. Polish watchmaker Antoni Norbert Patek started making pocket watches in 1839 in Geneva, along with his fellow Polish migrant Franciszek Czapek. They separated in 1844, and in 1845 Patek joined with the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, inventor of the keyless winding mechanism. In 1851 Patek Philippe & Co was founded. Patek Philippe adopted the emblem of the brave Spanish knights as its brand symbol, which signs Patek Philippe Watches today.
