Patek Philippe 150th Anniversary Bronze Commemorative Medal
This Patek Philippe 150th Anniversary Bronze Commemorative Medal is cast in rich bronze with a softly aged patina in 1989. It’s 95 mm diameter etched with Roman numerals around the perimeter like the hours on a dial, evoking the relentless march of time. At its center, twin portrait reliefs—Antoine Norbert de Patekand Jean Adrien Philippe—are set within laurel-wreathed ovals, their lifelike visages bridging past and present. The reverse bears a wreath-encircled inscription celebrating “1839 – 1989,” flanked by the engraved signatures of Henri Stern, Président, and Philippe Stern, Directeur Général, each element speaking to a century and a half of horological heritage.
Struck in Geneva in 1989 by the esteemed Huguenin workshop, this vintage medal marks Patek Philippe’s sesquicentennial milestone. Every detail—from the clock-face border to the founder portraits—serves as a tactile timeline, illustrating the maison’s journey since its founding in the Vallée de Joux in 1839. It distills 150 years of painstaking craftsmanship into a single, wearable chronicle of Swiss watchmaking.
