Patek Philippe has chosen Milan to open the seventh edition of its WATCH ART Grand Exhibition, a public exhibition running from October 2 to 18, 2026. This year’s event is the largest exhibition ever organized by the Manufacture.
The setting is CityOval, formerly known as Palazzo delle Scintille, in Milan’s CityLife district. Across more than 2,900 square meters, Patek Philippe has created fifteen thematic spaces exploring its history, current collections, movements and some of the most remarkable work of its artisans.
The exhibition brings together more than 500 watches and objects. One of its main highlights is the arrival in Milan of more than 80 pieces from the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, including some of the world’s earliest timepieces and important historical creations from the Manufacture. Visitors can also discover supercomplications such as the Calibre 89 and Star Caliber 2000, as well as the Grandmaster Chime, featuring 20 complications.

Milan now follows Dubai, Munich, London, New York, Singapore and Tokyo, the six cities that previously hosted the exhibition. Together, those editions welcomed nearly 225,000 visitors since 2012.
For the Milan edition, Patek Philippe has also created seven limited series exclusively for the Italian market, alongside Rare Handcrafts pieces inspired by Italian culture and the introduction of the new Gondolo Ladies First collection.
