A Patek Philippe tableau for Georges Dubois, 1952

People · · by Christian Bissener


Framed watercolour of a harbour scene with a Patek Philippe card addressed to Georges Dubois, Christmas 1952

This tableau was given by Patek Philippe to Georges Dubois, born in 1921, in 1952. Georges Dubois started at Patek Philippe at the age of 27 and worked there for over 38 years. The card attached to the frame carries the management’s best wishes for Christmas 1952.

Collectibles like this, which document the human side of watchmaking history, are something I particularly enjoy.
