The place
Around 2,500 watches, automata, precious objects and enamel portraits tracing five centuries of Genevan, Swiss and European watchmaking. The antique collection fills the second floor; a library of more than 8,000 volumes completes the visit.
Since 2001 the museum has occupied the Art Deco building of Les Ateliers Réunis, where Patek Philippe made cases and bracelets until 1996.
Don’t miss
Until early 2027, the exhibition marking 50 years of the Nautilus, on the top floor.
