Signed Patek Philippe & Co., Geneva, Switzerland, Movement No. 191'404, Case No. 289'520, Manufactured in 1919

Very few Patek Philippe watches are designated “Extra”, the present watch is one of those rarified pieces. Only superb watches of the highest chronometer standard were inscribed this way. The present watch was chosen specifically for inclusion in the Observatory Timing Contests of 1923-1924. When destined for participation in this contest, the movements were engraved with the movement number twice. The inscription "Extra" on the bridge of the movement refers to the high finishing of all the parts of the movement. This watch was awarded second prize as confirmed on the cuvette engraving as well as the Extract from the Archives.

To the best of our knowledge this watch has never before been offered in public.
