The Patek Philippe Watches manufactured by this brand have been one among the favourites of popes, political leaders, rulers as well as monarchs after the rule of Queen Victoria. It has been a symbol of pride and royalty which prompts every royal member to have at least one Patek Philippe watch. The Patek Philippe Watches company leads a close relationship with Queen Victoria since 1851 when they started the supply of the watch to the royal people and to her. This set ablaze the real passion for Patek Philippe all across the royalty of Europe. The greatest incident happened at the Great Exhibition of London held on November 1851. It was then the Queen purchased the pendant style-key wound watch from the same brand. This pleased her lot which made her buy one more Patek Philippe watch which would be pinned on to her costume.

The second timepiece owned by the Queen was marvellous and everyone had their eye on this art piece bought her. It was a brooch kind of watch made of diamond and enamel and was very pleasing to all those who had a look at it. Some of the other royal people who were passionate about the Patek Philippe branded watches were the King and Queen of Denmark, Christian IX and Louise, the King of Italy and Duke of Savoy, Victor-Emanuel III and the Prince of Egypt who reigned during 1914 to 1917, Hussein Kamal.

A new turnover for watches was when Patek Philippe introduced the first mechanical which was the first of its kind. It was brought into the limelight in the year 1989. It was the special gift or the special entry brought in for their 150th Anniversary and was named as the Patek Philippe Calibre 89. The speciality of this watch is that it has around 33 complications and to name a few it includes time of sunrise, date of Easter, sidereal time, a thermometer, the equation of time and many others too. One of the greatest features introduced during those times in the Anniversary Special Edition was the addition of one more day in the month of February and otherwise for a hundred years to come.
