The 2026 edition of the Patek Philippe Watch Art Grand Exhibition will be held in Milan. The exhibition, which covers 2,500 square metres, offers a real journey behind the scenes at Patek Philippe.
Heir to a noble Geneva tradition, Patek Philippe has always attached great importance to sharing its passion for Haute Horlogerie.
And so, fourteen years ago, the Maison inaugurated a new exhibition concept: the Grand Exhibitions, exhibitions open to the public and with free admission, designed to bring visitors closer to the creations, heritage, philosophy and extensive know-how of the Manufacture.
Edition after edition, the format has grown in size and relevance, welcoming a total of around 165,000 visitors to the cities of Dubai (2012), Munich (2013), London (2015), New York (2017), Singapore (2019) and Tokyo (2023). For the seventh edition of its travelling Grand Exhibitions, scheduled from 2 to 18 October 2026 and open to the public free of charge, Patek Philippe has chosen the city of Milan.
