To truly appreciate this unusual company, we must begin with Antoni Patek, its founder. He was born in either 1811 or 1812 in Piaski, a small Polish village just outside Lublin.

Antoni 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 during the partnership with Czapek, as well as the first years of partnership with Philippe, the company did not produce its own movements. Instead they bought unfinished movements from several companies, including Louis Audemars, Vacheron & Constantin, Breguet, Doloche, Dupan et Haim, Piguet et Fils, Le Coultre, among others

Patek's earliest ebauches date back to 1850, the year that Philippe introduced the machinery necessary to make them. Patek's, or more precisely, Philippe's, first ebauches are very distinct movements. The earliest ones were almost never signed. After which time it was abandoned in favor of a different way of hallmarking the movement. As of 1872, this all changed. The dial plates were then stamped with a serial number, and the movement was signed on the winding bridge. Until 1872, the movements were almost never signed on the back.

In 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch. They have also pioneered the perpetual calendar, split seconds hand, chronograph, and minute repeater in watches.
