Pocket Watch Case

1870′s PATEK PHILIPPE Antique Mens Midsize 50mm Hunter Case Pocket Watch – 18K Gold. It features a Patek caliber with moustache counterpoise, frosted gilt finishing, and unusual plate layout. It is original with a numbers matching case and is in pleasing condition. Its porcelain dial is in excellent original condition, and its case is in honest original condition with a few flat spots around the band. One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Its extremely fine original movement is running amazingly true – after more than 140 years it continues to keep chronometer grade time in four testing positions. Accompanying the watch is a period correct fitted box from “Bennet, Watchmaker to the Royal Observatory” that the watch was in when we acquired it. Please inquire if you would like a Patek extract for the watch. During the 1860′s and’70′s, Patek Philippe produced only fewer than approximately twenty watches per day (contrast this with Omega and other fine watch manufacturers that produced 500 – 1,200 pieces per day) making original examples very rare and collectable.
