Antoni Norbert Patek (1811 – 1877), Polish pioneer in watchmaking and a creator of Patek Philippe & Co.Veteran of November Uprising 1861 against Russia during which he was wounded twice. In 1832 he was engaged by general Józef Bem in organising an evacuation route for Polish insurgents through Prussia to France. On May 1, 1839 in Geneva, Antoni Patek together with another Polish immigrant Franciszek Czapek established their manufacture producing watches.
It means: "few kilometers from Geneve in Plan-les-Ouates the Patek Philippe manufacture is located. This is where traditional craftsmanship meets most modern tecnology."
27.000 Franken? Wow....und ich dachte schon mein mittlerweile 20 Jahre alter Breitling Windrider Chronomat war mit ca. 7500 DM damals teuer.
