Unusual in its own respect, due to its jump hour style dial layout with a hand to tell the minutes, the present pink gold keyless lever pocket watch belongs to an early specimen of Patek Phillippe’s fine craftsmanship. Hidden under the white enamel dial lays the caliber 19”’ with frosted gilded movement, moustache lever and wolf’s tooth winding. When one focuses on the dial, an italian retailer signature “Enrico Volpe Bari” can be witnessed on the right side. It is believed that only 10 examples have ever appeared on the market, making the present pocket watch very rare indeed.
The present example is further delivered with a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its white enamel dial with black minute figures, hour in aperture and its date of manufacture in 1886.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
