 +===== Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek =====
 +
 +Franciszek Czapek was a Czech watchmaker, while Antoni Patek was a Pole. In 1839, they established Patek, Czapek & Cie in Geneva. Following that, they began producing pocket watches before splitting up in 1844. [([[https://culture.pl/en/article/antoni-patek-a-timeless-genius|Culture]])]

 +===== American Market =====

 +
 +===== Keeping Tradition =====
 +
 +Patek's directors contacted the brothers Charles and Jean Stern of the company Cadrans Stern Frères, with whom the Patek brand had previously collaborated since they created high-quality dials and were one of Patek's best suppliers. Because the Stern brothers intended to maintain Swiss watchmaking history, they assisted Patek Philippe and purchased a part in the company in 1932. Within a year, the brothers had purchased the whole Patek Philippe corporation. [([[https://www.imd.org/research-knowledge/articles/how-a-family-can-guard-a-luxury-brand/|IMD]])]
 +
 +===== Ref. 96 =====
 +
 +Patek Philippe introduced the Ref. 96 timepiece in 1932. This watch is regarded as the prototype of the renowned and legendary Calatrava collection.[([[https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2020/watches-online-2/patek-philippe-calatrava-ref-96-platinum|Sothebys]])]
