Notes

The celebrated English store was founded in 1849 in London byCharles-Henry Harrods (1800-1885). It was destroyed by fire and re-built in 1894 at the Knightsbridge location where it still is today.This piece is numbered 00, which is the number Patek Philippe gives to objects destined for the Patek Philippe Museum; by accident, it was sold to Harrod's.
