Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition

Patek Philippe presents the seventh Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Milan, a major celebration of fine watchmaking, craftsmanship and Italy’s rich cultural heritage. From 2 to 18 October 2026, the historic CityOval, formerly known as Palazzo delle Scintille, becomes a setting dedicated to the history and expertise of the Geneva-based manufacture.

Spanning approximately 2,900 square metres, the exhibition brings together around 500 wristwatches, table clocks and pocket watches, alongside exceptional creations showcasing techniques such as enamelling, engraving, gem-setting and wood marquetry. Among them are 25 special pieces inspired by different regions of Italy, from Rome and Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast, Venice and Florence.

The exhibition also explores the contemporary side of Patek Philippe, with dedicated spaces focusing on research and development, movement manufacturing, watchmaking and the maison’s celebrated chiming watches. At its centre is the new Reference 5978P-010, a limited-edition platinum chronograph with a perpetual calendar, marking 85 years since Patek Philippe first combined the two complications in a wristwatch.
