In January 2015, Patek Philippe announced its decision to strengthen its presence in Geneva with the construction of a new building on its manufacturing site in Plan-les-Ouates. A total of CHF 500 million (CHF 450 million for the construction and CHF 50 million for the production technical equipment) will be invested into this new building, which by 2018 will provide additional space for new activities and the transfer of know-how. The family-owned company is again making a strong commitment to its Geneva origins.

New building

The enlargement of the Plan-les-Ouates site with an additional building is motivated by the objective of developing new business activities and creating ideal prerequisites for the multifaceted requirements imposed on Patek Philippe's in-house basic and advanced training programs. This applies in particular to the domains of innovation, artisan professions, service and training.

The new building will provide a floor area of about 110,000 m2, half of which is dedicated to production, spread out on six stories as well as four underground levels. When completed, it will provide space requirements for future development. The new building creates an opportunity to reconsolidate all Geneva-based activities on a single site and is expected to offer sufficient reserves for Patek Philippe's growth in the next 20 to 30 years.

Both structurally and in terms of its technical installations, the new building will comply with strict energy conservation guidelines. Overall, the building's energy efficiency largely corresponds to the Minergie-P standard.

Patek Philippe celebrated the laying of the foundation stone last October 15, in the presence of 200 guests. Mr. Philippe Stern, Honorary President and Mr. Thierry Stern, President, addressed the many guests, alongside Mr. de Marignac, architect, Mr. Xavier Magnin, Mayor of Plan-les-Ouates, and the Geneva State Counselor Mr. Antonio Hodgers. Together, they lay the foundation stone thus marking the beginning of a major construction site in the development of Patek Philippe.
