Notes

The Ref. E1100 clock was developed from the Naviquartz marine chronometer Ref. E1200 and uses the same movement. This clock is very rare. In 1970 Patek Philippe planned to make 100 pieces but only thirty were actually made and delivered to Beyer of Zurich. In 1971 only one piece was produced; in 1972, 24 were made; and in 1973 the last 5 pieces were made. They were offered in three colors: red, blue and turquoise.
