Lot Essay

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch, set in authentic US Dollar 20 gold coin in 1962 and its subsequent sale on 8 March 1962.

This watch is part of a small series of gold coin watches, given reference numbers 800 to 809, using the US$5 (Ref. 800), US$10 (Ref. 801), US$20 (Ref. 802 & 803), CHF100 (Ref. 804), Pesos 50 (Ref. 805) and others. No other coin watches were since made by Patek Philippe.

The present coin watch is fresh to the market and believed to be the so far only example of this model retailed by Koch to have appeared in public.

A similar coin watch, movement no. 861'011, is illustrated in Patek Philippe by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, p. 165.
