Nineteen Sixteen Company proudly unveils the Patek Philippe boutique in the historic Buena Vista Post Office building in the Miami Design District. Following several years of conceptualization and design, the 2,600 square foot boutique unites aesthetic signatures of the Genevan manufacture with a contemporary atmosphere designed for community engagement and the celebration of Patek Philippe’s rich history and values.
Since 1987, the Govberg’s have been authorized agents for Patek Philippe through their family-owned business Govberg Jewelers. Danny Govberg (third generation) and his son Brian Govberg (fourth generation) have since founded Nineteen Sixteen Company, which owns and operates the Patek Philippe Boutique in Miami, Florida, representing a new venture and a dynamic new chapter for the retailer. The Patek Philippe boutique by Nineteen Sixteen Company will offer an extraordinary new retail experience by uniting the traditions of Patek Philippe with the energy and culture of Miami.
As one of the only freestanding Patek Philippe boutiques in the Americas, Nineteen Sixteen Company offers watch collectors and enthusiasts an elegant and inviting environment in which to experience some of the world’s finest timepieces. The exterior retains the Neoclassical design elements and character of historic Miami, and the boutique’s interior is characterized by golden hues, precious woods, plush upholstery, and Patek Philippe’s distinct architectural style. The showroom occupies two floors, and will feature a private courtyard, bar, and lounge, as well as a library on the second floor. Spaces designed for comfort, intimacy, and hospitality have been woven into the floorplan.
“We are excited to partner with Nineteen Sixteen Company to bring the first free-standing Patek Philippe boutique to the East Coast, and the second in the US market,” said Lisa Jones, President of Patek Philippe USA. “This new boutique will significantly expand our presence in Miami, and we look forward to providing this opportunity for both existing and new clientele to immerse themselves in the world of Patek Philippe. Nineteen Sixteen will surely become an important destination in which customers can comfortably gather with fellow watch lovers for generations to come.
“We are honored that Patek Philippe has entrusted us with a monumental opportunity to offer an immersive experience to residents and visitors to Miami. Our vision for the boutique mirrors qualities of both the city and this distinguished brand – a balance between innovation and tradition, united by outstanding service and a pursuit of excellence in offering visitors exceptional timepieces, and celebrating a shared passion for watches,” remarked Brian Govberg.
The Miami Patek Philippe boutique owned and operated by Nineteen Sixteen Company is now open by appointment and will welcome guests on Mondays through Saturdays from 11am until 6pm.
