T he sound of a Patek Philippe minute repeater is already considered one of the finest mechanical achievementsꦜ in modern horology — but what if that sound could become music?
Sotheby’s challenged a composer to do just that: create an ཧoriginal piece of music inspired entirely by the melodic chime of a Patek Philippe minute repeater. The result is a striking blend of craftsmanship, art, and acoustic storytelling that bridges centuries of watchmaking with contemporary composition.
These extraordinary timepieces aren’t just rare — they’re profoundly personal. Each one is hand-tuned and individually signed off by Patek Philippe’s president, continuing a legacy of sound and precision passed down for generations. From the discreet elegance of the ref. 2524/1 to the sculptural br🧸illiance of Jean-Pierre Hagmann cases, these watches speak to collectors.
Now, thanks to this musical interpretation, they sing to a whole new audience.
Sotheby’s is proud to 🐬present sev𓆏eral extraordinary Patek Philippe minute repeaters as part of Luxury Week, presented in partnership with , in New York. Important Watches: Take a Minute will be held live on 10 June at 10:30 AM EDT.
