Patek Philippe creates precious keepsakes to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Cortina Watch

- KELVIN TAN

“Patek Philippe and Cortina Watch share an intertwined relationship in Asia, from the establishment of the Patek Philippe boutiques across Southeast and East Asia, to our shared passion for fine watchmaking and craftsmanship. Not only have I personally experienced this through the generous friendship of Mr. Thierry Stern and Mr. Philippe Stern, so have many of our clients who have had the privilege of visiting the manufacture. We have retained the aesthetic codes of the 25th anniversary Calatrava, launched in 1997, for the 50th anniversary limited edition. This is in homage to the past and present leaders of both companies who have nurtured our longstanding partnership. I hope that it will continue to strengthen over the next 50 years, and with the next generations after us.” - Jeremy Lim, CEO of Cortina Watch.

Fifty years from its founding, Cortina Watch has emerged as one of the strongest watch retailers in the region. Fifty years old as well is the relationship between Cortina Watch and Patek Philippe. Cortina Watch’s story began in 1972 and it was also the year when the company began representing the legendary Swiss watchmaker, Patek Philippe. From the beginning when the founder of Cortina Watch, Mr. Anthony Lim met the late Mr. Henri Stern over 66 years ago, to 2022, with Cortina Watch now exclusively managing six Patek Philippe boutiques across Asia, the partnership between these two huge names of the industry has grown into an unbreakable bond.
