Lot Essay

Even in a world where the wristwatch reigns supreme, pocket watches, particularly those made by Patek Philippe remain a source of fascination. This contemporary white gold Patek Philippe reference 980G pocket watch with matching white gold Patek Philippe chain is stunning in its purity and simplicity. The polished hunting case contrasts subtly with the brushed inner band when the front cover is opened to reveal the fabulous silvery opaline dial with Breguet-style numerals, the only complication being running seconds. Even today, to keep tradition alive, Patek Philippe crafts these incredible traditional pocket watches in very small numbers to satisfy demand from true connoisseurs of the finest timepieces. The manually wound mechanical movement, caliber 17’’’ SAV PS, has a micrometer regulator and is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and five positions. Although resolutely traditional in every sense, this pocket watch has been produced in strict compliance with the uncompromising standards of the Patek Philippe ‘PP’ seal which encompasses both craftsmanship and timekeeping accuracy.

The sheer aesthetic and mechanical perfection of this gorgeous watch is breathtaking and will impress even the most exacting of collectors.
