As explained below there's a difference between a partition and a filesystem. Please edit your question and clarify whether it's about partitions or filesystems.

I think neither the MBR nor the GPT include explicit timestamps,
so it's probably impossible to know when the disk was partitioned.
That said, you can extract information on when a filesystem was created on a partition, and because, usually, you create a partition and then create a filesystem soon after and then leave them alone, you can use dumpe2fs (if the filesystem is ext2,ext3 or ext4):
$> dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep create
dumpe2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
Filesystem created: Thu Sep 28 12:14:05 2017
and get a good estimate on when a partition was created.
As for your question of a list of partitions, you can easily create a script to iterate through the partitions and extract the corrisponding created time.
