Catalogue Essay
Hailing from the early 1900s, the present Patek Philippe yellow gold open face chronograph pocket watch belongs to a “pre-reference” example that features an elegant white enamel dial with a 30-minute register and a 1-minute register with painted black dauphine numerals. With its caseback engraved “AP” and confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives, the engraving remains crisp for a watch that is over 100 years old. Powered by the cal. 19”’ a Victorin Piguet ebauche with a straight line lever escapement, the chronograph is activated via a single pusher on top of the crown.
