專家說明
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with enamel dial, as well as an enamel painted landscape on the back, and its subsequent sale on 7 July 1914.
The present watch was made to commemorate the Centenary Shooting Contest in Geneva in 1914. It is one of only 12 such commemorative watches known to have appeared at auction to date.
As recreational shooting events were quite popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century, various watch companies brought out watches to commemorate these events. Patek Philippe was the most prestigious firm among them, bringing out only around 120 such timepieces.
A similar watch from the same series is illustrated in Patek Philippe Pocket Watches by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, 1982 edition, page 151.
