Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with enameled coat-of-arms to the guilloché case back and fluted case band in 1886 and its subsequent sale on 8 November 1886.

Fresh to the market, this watch is distinguished by its excellent overall condition, the large size and the decorative coat-of-arms to the case back, confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. Retailed by Enrique Volpe in Bari, it was most certainly made by special order for one of his clients, a noble family from the region.
