Important Patek Philippe gold/enamel pocket watch with 7 complications, Geneva 1922, with extract from the archives
Ca. Ø53.5mm, ca. 133g, 18k pink gold, case back with enamel inlay, representation of moon and stars symbolising an astronomical pocket watch, blue guilloché enamel, case signed Patek Philippe & Co. Geneve No. 409600, glazed movement, glazed movement frame with case No. 409600 and movement No. 197737, highly complicated Patek Philippe movement with 7 complications, perpetual calendar, moon phase, moon age and minute repeater, Geneva stripes, fine adjusting device, 31 jewels, adjusted in 8 positions, winding wheels with wolf's toothing, signed Patek Philippe No. 197737, original, matching numbered enamel dial (professionally restored), in working order and in very good condition, only barely visible short hairlines in the moon phase display. The watch is in its original box and comes with a current Patek Philippe extract from the archives. This is an extremely rare Patek Philippe with an extremely unusual gold/enamel case, possibly unique. The watch was in the USA for decades. Another plain gold case was made there by Tiffany. This is noted in the extract from the archives from 1992 (copy available). The reason was probably a mismatched gift dedication that was in the original case. Fortunately, the original case was not destroyed. In 2005, the previous owner requested another extract from the archives for the variant in the original case. A copy of this is also available. After the change of ownership, the movement is now only in its original case. The engraving on the edge of the inner lid has been polished out. A third, now current extract from the archives was requested for the watch in 2023, which confirms the originality and the special enamel case! Such case decorations were usually requested by customers and were commissioned by Patek Philippe from local engravers and enamellers and were not carried out in-house. Nevertheless, they are mentioned in the extract from the archives. A video for this lot is available on our website.
