As I was searching and came across the name,Patek Philippe, I first thought he had to be some type of clothing designer. I discovered it's actually the name of a Swiss watch company that is known for making watches for not only the rich and famous but for others as well. It was interesting to discover the most expensive watch ever sold at a Sotheby's auction was designed by the Pate Philippe company, selling for $1.49 million dollars.
It was a tourbillon watch, which I learned meant that it was designed to negate the effect of gravity that at one time was felt to have an affect on time keeping pieces.
