Introduction
While timepieces would be the first thing that you would expect a watchmaker to produce, some brands explore producing other items that can either accompany their timepieces or serve as gifts for VIPs. One such watchmaker is Patek Philippe whom produce a plethora of items that fit this description, one such type of item being their commemorative Limoges porcelain plates. Made in factories situated around Limoges in France, Limoges porcelain is famed for its artisanal craftsmanship, high quality and historical significance, and Patek Philippe have used it since 1997 as a means to commemorate just one of their watches from their history as a watchmaker – as detailed on the reverse of each plate. Gifted to their most important VIPs, their best dealers and their closest partners, these plates have proven to be excessively difficult to source over the years given the special place they hold in the collections of those who receive them, and so we are delighted to offer this selection of Patek Philippe Limoges porcelain plates complete with their boxes and even additional accessories.

THE PLATES
Inspired by a world-time pocket watch from 1949, the 2019 plate on the top left boasts a map of the world and the 2017 plate in the top right features an elaborate green, black and white pattern that emanates out from the center of the plate like the image in a kaleidoscope as inspired by a timepiece from 1902. Inspired by a timepiece 1893, the 2016 plate in the bottom left boasts a floral pattern on a white background and the 2012 plate on the bottom right boasts a blue background with a golden floral pattern as inspired by a timepiece from 1909.
THE PLATES
Featuring an underwater motif as inspired by a piece unique, the 2008 plate on the top left shows a myriad of sea creates atop a blue base and a plethora of bright colors. As inspired by a timepiece from 1863, the 2010 plate on the top right features a green, black and gold design that is somewhat psychedelic and the plate at the bottom draws inspiration from a timepiece from 1896 that boasts an assortment of pearls set across its case. As such, the corresponding plate that we have here features the same pave pearl setting with gold surrounds.
THE WALLETS
While their plates are superb, so too are the wallets that Patek Philippe produces in the same brown leather that they so often use for their accessories. Boasting Patek's famed Calatrava cross, this pair of wallets will make for the perfect pocket partner to store your pocket litter.
