Famed for their intensely luxurious eye for detail and unparalleled heritage within the watchmaking industry, Patek Philippe has long been at the top of the horology pyramid. While their modern plaudits come from their infamously desirable wristwatches, the brand began life creating pocket watches, much like other watchmakers that began life during the 19th century and before. As such, it is pocket watches, like the example we have here draws attention to Patek Philippe’s original legendary aesthetic and unwavering level of craftsmanship. Featuring an 18kt white gold construction, a stunning silver dial co-signed by Beyer with applied gold indices alongside sharp dauphine hands, crisp black inscriptions and a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock, this example’s display is a classily executed embodiment of style and decorum. Featuring a polished domed bezel and mid-case that wraps around and meets its caseback, this pocket watch is a stunning example of why Patek Philippe has been widely regarded as one of horology’s best watchmakers for centuries now - a reputation that they certainly have earned and will not lose any time soon judging by their constantly improving product line and back-log of truly iconic designs.

Watch is in overall excellent condition. The white gold case shows light surface scratches as expected of a pocket watch of this vintage, with a well-defined hallmark visible at the top of the case next to the winding crown. The double-signed Beyer dial remains excellent, with some light surface spotting and marks present. The hands show subtle discoloration. Comes with Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives and a Collectability card box. Please note that the watch ticks at time of cataloging, but timekeeping is poor and a service is recommended.

Revealing the depths of Patek's craftsmanship across its entire construction and movement, this pocket watch showcases exactly why Patek's reputation as one of world's finest watchmakers is not something new.
