Lot Essay

Clock watches by Patek Philippe are extremely rare. The present movement is particularly unusual as Patek Philippe is known to have reserved the "Grande and Petite Sonnerie" mechanism exclusively for their ultra complicated timepieces. To the best of our knowledge, less than 10 examples of grande and petite sonnerie clock watches with no further complications are known to this day.
