Patek Philippe coin watches are amongst some of the most charming and intriguing novelties made by the Maison and are admired by collectors of all kinds.
There were various versions of the coin watch and were designated from references 800 to 809: US $5 coin (ref. 800), US $10 coin (ref. 801), US $20 coin (ref. 802 & 803), CHF $100 coin (ref. 804), Pesos $50 coin (Ref. 805) and others. No other coin watches were since made by Patek Philippe.
To create these masterpieces, extreme precision was required to cut, hollow-out, and rebuild these coins, meanwhile carefully preserving their original faces. While many brands made coin watches over the years, Patek Philippe's are amongst the finest as their seams and button are perfectly melded to hide their 'secret' within.
