François Czapek was Antoine Norbert de Patek's first partner, and when that partnership dissolved in 1845 Patek went on to find Adrien Philippe while Czapek built his own house and then disappeared from the record. The name was revived in 2015 by a group of enthusiasts who funded the relaunch by subscription, a method borrowed directly from how Czapek sold watches in the 1850s.
The Antarctique is the brand's integrated-bracelet sports watch, launched in 2020 and now its highest-volume line. This Celestial edition was limited to twenty-five pieces and carries a blue dial with a marbled, nebular treatment that reads differently depending on how light falls across it — the kind of dial that photographs poorly and sells in person.
The movement is automatic, and the case and bracelet are steel. Production year is 2022.
The integrated bracelet is the defining element of the design, tapering sharply from a case that sits flatter on the wrist than its dimensions suggest.
This example is offered as a full set in very good condition, one of twenty-five made, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.

Every watch listed by Uptown Exchange is independently authenticated and inspected before it goes up for sale, and ships fully insured with signature confirmation required on delivery. We ship via major carriers in discreet, unbranded packaging, and you'll receive tracking information as soon as your order leaves our hands.
Each piece is backed by a 7-day return window from the date of delivery. If a watch isn't right for you, contact our team within 7 days to arrange a return; the item must come back in the same condition it was sent, with all original packaging, box, and papers included if it shipped with them. Return shipping is insured the same way outbound shipping is.
Because every listing is a single, individually inspected piece, we recommend reaching out with any questions on fit, condition, or authenticity before you buy — we're glad to send additional photos or answer specifics on a piece before you commit.
