專家說明
Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated August 21st 1877, original Patek Philippe invoice addressed to Rev. Stenton Cardley for 1700 French Francs and dated August 22nd 1877, and original Patek Philippe presentation box.
The present watch offers a remarkable story, unearthed in the original papers that accompany this lot. It is evident that a Reverend Stenton Cardley purchased the watch from Patek Philippe and ordered it to be sent to London on August 22nd, 1877. In addition, the original certificate is dated August 21st, 1877, and the Extract from the Archives records the date of sale on August 20th, 1877. Looking through the three documents and the sequencing of dates allows one to see that it is very likely that the watch was specifically made for this English gentleman, where the motto seen on the case back of the watch reveals a possible character trait.
The motto seen on the case is inscribed, Non Nobis Solum, Latin for "Not for Ourselves Alone." An interesting clue as to the beliefs of the original owner of this watch reveals he was likely a man devout to the good of humanity.
