A VERY RARE GOLD OPENFACE JUMP HOUR CHRONOGRAPH
PATEK PHILIPPE & CO., GENÈVE, NO. 80549 FOR JACQUES & MARCUS, NEW YORK
The firm Jacques & Marcus, located at 857 Broadway in New York, became Marcus & Co., when the second Marcus son joined his father and elder brother in the business. Reknowned as jewelers in the Art Nouveau style, Marcus & Co. later maintained another location on the corner of 45th Street and Fifth Avenue. In 1962 Marcus & Co. merged with Black, Starr & Frost. The new firm was subsequently purchased by Kay Jewelers, and then Sterling, Inc.
