Introduction
Patek Philippe's world extends well beyond watches, with a small range of objects and accessories historically produced for clients, retailers and friends of the manufacture. These pieces can be particularly appealing to collectors because they apply the same discreet visual language associated with the Geneva manufacture to objects intended for everyday use. Dating to circa 2012, this substantial travelling bag combines brown leather with contrasting canvas in a traditional form reminiscent of a physician's or doctor's bag.
Measuring approximately 47cm by 26cm by 35cm, it is considerably larger than a conventional briefcase and was conceived as a practical weekend or travelling bag. The structured leather construction is complemented by fabric panels, twin carrying handles and a detachable shoulder strap, with Patek Philippe branding discreetly applied to the exterior.

The bag is in overall near mint condition. There are a couple of nicks in the piping alongside the main zip, where the zip has caught the leather. Comes with detachable shoulder strap.
Our Perspective
Patek Philippe accessories occupy an interesting corner of collecting because they were never intended to compete with the watches themselves. This large travelling bag is particularly appealing for precisely that reason: it is a genuinely usable object carrying the manufacture's name, executed in an understated combination of brown leather and canvas.
