The Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Singapore

Nick Kenyon

In its fifth iteration, the Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition will be hosted in Singapore for the first time. Placed to emphasise the importance of Southeast Asian clients and collectors for Patek Philippe, the show will offer public insight to a number of the artefacts that typically remain in Geneva at the Patek Philippe Museum. The show will also launch a series of rare handcrafts and special-edition watches inspired by the artistic expression of the region.

The show will be hosted free of charge in an 1800-square metre space at the Marina Bay Sands Theatre in Singapore, divided into 10 rooms that each display a part of the history of Patek Philippe, as well as the current collection. There will also be a number of Patek Philippe watchmakers and artisans who will show their skills in live demonstrations, offering a rare show of specialist talents to attendees.

To further recognise the city in which the exhibition is taking place, there will be a collection of Patek Philippe timepieces on display that represent milestones in the history of Singapore, starting from the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles. On loan from the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva will be two collections of timepieces, broken into the “Antique Collection” of pieces starting from the 16th century, and the “Patek Philippe Collection” offering creations since the birth of the brand in 1839. The Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition will run from Saturday September 28 until Sunday October 13, offering a unique horological experience to enthusiasts and collectors alike.
