PATEK PHILIPPE is holding the "Watch Art Grand Exhibition" at the Sumitomo Building Sankaku Hiroba in Shinjuku, Tokyo, from Saturday, June 10, to Sunday, June 25, 2023. The exhibition is comprised of 10 themed rooms, showcasing approximately 500 timepieces and objects.

The "Watch Art Grand Exhibition" has been held in Dubai (its first iteration in 2012), Munich, London, New York, and Singapore. This marks its sixth exhibition in Tokyo. It is a grand exhibition designed to deepen understanding of the extensive expertise involved in watch creation, heritage, and philosophy.

This exhibition is structured into 10 themed rooms. On display are approximately 500 timepieces and objects, including not only current collection watches and movements but also historical timepieces carefully selected from the Patek Philippe Museum, such as the oldest portable watch dating back to 1548.

The exhibition also features a recreation of the Napoleon Room from the Geneva salon, a Watchmaker's Room where master watchmakers explain the intricate construction of mechanical timepieces before your eyes, and an area where you can witness firsthand the traditional craftsmanship of skilled artisans from Geneva.

Additionally, limited edition watches created exclusively for this exhibition and rare collections inspired by Japanese art and cultural heritage will be unveiled.

The "Watch Art Grand Exhibition," which realistically recreates the main salon and workshops, and features live demonstrations by watchmakers and artisans, offers an opportunity to deepen one's understanding of all the techniques related to Patek Philippe's high watchmaking and decoration, passed down through generations.
