With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present clock with "sinusoids"-pattern engravings in 1964 and its subsequent sale on 21 June 1968.

This "Dôme" clock is part of the first and now highly collectable series fitted with a 17'''250 mechanical movement, electrically wound and powered through the solar cells.

The solar-powered "Dôme" table clock was launched in the mid 1950s. Still today, Patek Philippe produces few examples of these light-powered timepieces every year, each unique by its individually decorated case featuring engravings of varying pattern or cloisonné enamel scenes.
