專家說明
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1857 and its subsequent sale on 6 August 1858.
The engraved inscription on the cuvette of this watch, Invention et Exécution, refers to Jean-Adrien Philippe's French patent no. 1317, filed in Paris on 22 April 1845.
Jean-Adrien Philippe specified his invention would be "applicable to all types of watches" - and indeed this feature can be found to date in timepieces which he could probably have never imagined: self-winding and ultra-thin wristwatches, quartz watches, calendar watches and diving watches, just to name some.
