Icon4 Watch Art Grand Exhibition / Singapore 2019

After 2012 in Dubai, 2013 in Munich, 2015 in London and 2017 in New York, Singapore has now been chosen by Patek Philippe as the venue for the fifth exhibition that offers in-depth insights into its universe and its creations.

From Saturday, September 28 until Sunday, October 13, 2019, collectors, aficionados of watchmaking artistry and the general public can immerse themselves in the world of Patek Philippe as if they were personally visiting the historic salons on Rue du Rhône in Geneva, the manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates, or the Patek Philippe Museum. It is a unique opportunity to cast a backstage glance at the last independent family-owned Genevan watchmaking company.

Taking place during the Singapore Bicentennial year, the Grand Exhibition underlines the importance of Singapore and Southeast Asia for Patek Philippe. These markets are not only significant when it comes to the numbers of collectors and enthusiasts based in the region, they also play a major role in building appreciation for the work of fine mechanical watchmaking.

This is why Thierry Stern, president of Patek Philippe, and his father, honorary president Philippe Stern, place so much emphasis on hosting this grand exhibition in Singapore and making sure it is an event of extraordinary proportions. It will showcase the launch of limited special-edition watches and an important collection of rare handcrafts timepieces that are inspired by the mix of cultural and artistic expressions of Southeast Asia and Singapore.

My guess is a world time with the marina bay skyline, ladies world time, a variant of the 5522, and definitely a minute repeater for the likes of an owner of Spanish football club.

World timer with Singapore on it and a version of a pilots watch. Those are the two most pimped Patek watches

Unfortunately if there is anything great released, prices will be through the roof in the US to acquire one from a seller

Singapore is a very important market for Patek with so many big collectors based in South East Asia. As mentioned above a world time watch, a variant of 5524 and a minute repeater are likely to be launched during the event. I think it will be very difficult for the local customers to obtain those watches at retail.

The renovation has been going on for the longest time. Thankfully the F1 weekend happens before this event, causing less congestion on the road.

i'm expecting another new watch in the same line as the 5212A weekly. My AD said to expect more specials from PP. He didn't know what they would be but he said that PP was coming out with some spectacular peices

Singapore is too small in terms of market, so have to travel extensively here in Asia to survive. Anyhow, there is no Ichiran in Singapore.

The exhibition at 3pm on the 27th?

They are flying us in and putting us up at the Raffles but out Gala is on the 27th, right after the tour.

They probably spread the locals over 2 days and FIFO on the same day.

I understand the first 2 preview days are for customers who can't control their spending . There are dinners throughout the duration of the exhibition by different AD up to 13 Oct 2019.

...And I've only had Slings at the Raffles hotel like 5 years ago. Never went back again. Find me at Lantern Bar with the views.
