Patek Philippe & Co. Geneva, Case No. 62503, 52 mm, 137 g, circa 1880
A gentleman's unique Geneva pocket watch with perpetual calendar and chronograph - sold on 02/13/1882 - with Patek Philippe extract from the archives
Case: 18k gold, signed PPC. Dial: enamel. Movm.: bridge movement, gold screw compensation balance.
A total of 35 watches with perpetual calendar are known that were produced between 1862 and 1934 with no reference number. This timekeeper, however, is a remarkable and unique piece – we know of no other watch with perpetual calendar and chronograph function. A slider near the crown sets the chronograph pusher. The back is decorated with an engine-turned pattern and a beautifully executed engraved monogram.
