Notes
These early cushion-shaped wristwatches are part of the history of Patek Philippe as they represent some of the earliest ever made by the firm as some were made already in 1909. This example dating from around 1920's has been kept in exceptional condition as demonstrated by its clear Patek Philippe signature on the outer caseback and its mint enamel dial. Amazingly it has retained its original fitted box and certificate of origin, almost never seen today. A great opportunity to acquire a beautiful example of some of the masterpieces created by Patek Philippe. For similar examples see the Patek Philippe Museum book, volume 2, pages 176 and 179.
Provenance
Property of the original Italian family
