Patek Philippe Museum Commemorative Bronze Medallion 2001

$925.00

This is a Patek Philippe Museum Commemorative Bronze Medallion, issued in 2001 to mark the inauguration of the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, Switzerland.

The medallion is finely cast in bronze, featuring on one side an intricate classical relief depicting Chronos (Father Time) and a Muse, symbolizing the eternal dialogue between time and art. Around the border is inscribed in Latin:
“ARTES FUGAM TEMPORIS RETINERE TEMPTANT” — “The arts strive to hold back the flight of time.”

It comes housed in its original brown presentation box, embossed in gold with the Patek Philippe Museum name, and lined in soft cream velvet to cradle the medallion securely.

This medallion was not available for public purchase and was reserved for VIP guests, collectors, and contributors attending the opening of the museum — a landmark event celebrating centuries of horological artistry.
