Personalised service

The longstanding partnership between Patek Philippe and Cortina Watch is highlighted in the boutique, where three lovely triptych visuals depicting Singapore’s famous landmarks adorn the walls.

Inspired by the three Singapore edition Patek Philippe dome clocks owned by Cortina Watch — the Ref. 1677M ‘Esplanade’, Ref. 20145M-001 ‘Singapore Skyline’ and Ref. 20094M ‘Bay of Singapore’ — these exquisite artworks serve as a testament to the shared legacy between the two brands. They also underscore the significance of the Singapore market for the independent Swiss watchmaking giant.
