Catalogue Essay
The Roaring Twenties, as the name suggests, were a time of exuberance, entertainment and experimentation.
It was a period of significant artistic development and even though Art Deco was the dominant style, the period was also influenced by Dadaism, Expressionism and Surrealism.
The present lot is a proud child of this exceptional period. Its two tone platinum and yellow gold case, further enhanced with the delicate engraving on the top and lower part of the bezel as well as the case side is a vision of beauty and grace which is further underlined by the magnificent dial with rare and attractive Breguet numerals.
Scholarship tells us that only one other example with the same case and dial combination exist making the present watch a true gem for the collector of vintage Patek Philippe. It is also important to mention that the present watch spent close to a year within the Patek Philippe workshops in Geneva for a full restoration as attested by the accompanying invoice for CHF 17,917.
