Reasons to Bid

Beautifully preserved for almost 100 years, this Patek Philippe pocket watch has all the desirable design features collectors are looking for today. Featuring a 43mm platinum case, the dial is adorned by applied Breguet numerals and Breguet hands, which is one of the most attractive and sought-after combinations. Furthermore, the brushed silver dial with its period-correct long signature (Patek, Philippe & Cie) keeps the silver color-scheme unified and elegant. On the caseback there is a sharply engraved crest combined with the popular French slogan ‘Malgré le tort’ (despite the wrong) that lends additional character to this piece.
