Eclectic rarities

Patek Philippe's annual Rare Handcrafts collection always comes with surprises as the imaginative artistic expressions capture all sorts of things. The 2026 edition even depicts active volcanoes, Chinese festivals, the Day of the Dead, Rio Carnival and Scotch on the rocks, as the independent family-owned manufacture explores the world for diverse inspirations.

The 65 timepieces reinforce Patek Philippe's commitment in preserving and advancing rare handcrafts, which include hand-executed guilloché work, various enamelling techniques and wood marquetry.
