Icon17 Patek Philippe Museum - a collection of pictures
Hi folks,

I was in Geneva a couple of weeks ago for a training at Rolex HQ, went to the infamous PP museum, here's some pictures



































Just a small insight in their collection, I took over 200 pictures there

Hope you enjoyed

The pictures did lose some quality due to downloading from google photos and then reuploading to imgur.

Definitely! And there were many of them, I think I only photographed 10% of what was on display, there's just too much

I specifically asked beforehand and it was no issue to take pictures at all.

IIRC, when i was there (in fall of 2017) we had to deposit our mobile phones etc. in a wardrobe locker

interesting (and IMO, good) that they changed the policy!

Great photos, having visited on 3 occasions it was always the policy to ban photographs, sounds like that has now changed.
