Lot Essay

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1915 and its subsequent sale on 3 October 1916. According to the Extract, it was originally made with an enamel dial which has most probably been exchanged by Tiffany & Co. against the present one.
