Lot Essay

Accompanied by Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present movement and gilt dial with black Breguet numerals and small second hand in 1923 and its subsequent sale without a case on 30 January 1926.

It can be assumed that the movement originally made for this case, number 806'323 according to the cuvette, has been replaced with the present one to a later date.

To the best of our knowledge, the present watch has never been offered in public before.
