  • In partnership with J Farren-Price, Australiaโ€™s longest-standing retailer of Patek Philippe, the Swiss marque is holding a new exhibition in Sydney later this December.
  • Entitled โ€˜The Passion For Workmanshipโ€™, this showcase will run from December 7th-10th and is open to members of the public.
  • Registration opens on November 12th, via the J Farren-Price website.

In a raft of good news for watch lovers, Sydney-based retailer J Farren-Price is set to bring a new exhibition of rare and important Patek Philippe timepieces to Australia early this December โ€” and itโ€™s open to the public.

Entitled โ€˜The Passion For Workmanshipโ€™, this new exhibit is already shaping up to be one the biggest activations of its kind ever to take place locally.

According to spokespeople from J Farren-Price, the event will feature โ€œover 100 extraordinary timepiecesโ€: a mixture of modern and vintage references, selected for their ability to convey the savoir-faire for which Patekโ€™s watchmaking is so renowned.

This new Patek exhibition marks a full-circle moment for J Farren-Price, who (over the past 46 years) have enjoyed the longest-standing relationship of any Australian watch retailer with Patek Philippe.

At their core both family-owned businesses, itโ€™s safe to assume that the depth of the Farren-Price/Patek connection means attendees at โ€˜The Passion For Workmanshipโ€™ will get a rare opportunity to witness the full breadth of Patek Philippeโ€™s artistry.

โ€œThis is a very unique opportunity for watch connoisseurs in Sydney to experience the true essence of Patek Philippeโ€™s craftsmanship,โ€ says Julian Farren-Price, the eponymous second-generation owner of J Farren Price.

Although a complete list of exhibits hasnโ€™t yet been announced, BH can confirm that individual watches will be curated from the Grand Complications, Calatrava, and Nautilus collections. And before you ask: yes, a handful of the new Cubitus references will also be on display.
