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.
