Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with enamel dial and black Breguet numerals in 1909 and its subsequent sale on 24 February 1920.

This watch is distinguished by its minute repeating movement of very small size, particularly complex and challenging to manufacture. Of finest quality it epitomizes Patek Philippe's early 20th century production of complicated pocketwatches.
