Probably, the most desired watch in the world

Looking after it for the next generation

If you understand the brand, you will know that a Patek Phillipe watch is priceless. Outstanding precision of the movements, superb workmanship, precious materials and elaborate decoration, combine to give a Patek Philippe real WOW factor. Whether it's a £10,000 watch or one in the £100,000 plus bracket.
Not only is it the ultimate portable status symbol, these precious, elegant watches are the result of latest-generation technology combined with traditional watchmaking know-how.
And if you are fortunate enough to own one, then you will also know that you have something very special indeed - something that you can pass from one generation to another.
As the company itself notes - It is hard to measure the value of a Patek Philippe in purely financial terms. Aesthetics, craftsmanship and reliability all make their contributions. We purposefully design, produce, and test every watch to last for generations. This allows us to say: "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation."

Something very, very, special

After all they make most models only in small quantities, from as little as five to a few hundred for better-known models. Indeed, only some 28,000 mechanical and 12,000 quartz watches are made per annum for the entire worldwide market. And when you own a Patek Philippe, you possess something of rare value and a record of your name, along with everyone else that has made a purchase in the last 170 years, is kept in the company's archives.
If you are already an owner, we suspect you will have an eye on the latest releases, which is most likely why you are on this website. Before you leave it, check out our latest models and you might just find something else to temp you.

Leonard Dews and Patek Philippe

But if you are new to Patek Phillipe, you might be interested in the stringent criteria that they use to chose their specialised dealer network.
To be purveyors of what is widely regarded as the finest watch in the world, Leonard Dews had to prove it met Patek Philippe's exacting selection process. Its retailers are handpicked and must comply with very stringent standards as regards service, horological expertise, and showroom atmosphere. And only those that meet these standards and, most importantly, continue to meet these standards, are selected.
And as family business that can trace its roots back for generations - back to 1877 in the rein of Queen Victoria when it started life as a Pawnbroker - we know the value of providing outstanding customer service, a prerequisite to be selected.
And as our customers come first every time, it is why they come back time after time for our unique approach to providing the ultimate customer service experience.
So if you are thinking about investing in a little piece of your own family history with a Patek Philippe watch (or getting onto the waiting list for the latest releases), simply drop an email to enquiries@leonarddews.co.uk. We would be most pleased to be of service.
