Lot Essay

This elegant bracelet watch represents a fine example of a highly jewelled wristwatch by Patek Philippe, often made by special order or for a particular event or exhibition.

Ref. 4196-1 is part of the firm's Ellipse Joallerie collection, produced around 1971. The present example is believed to be the only example of this model to have appeared in public to date.

Chrysoprase is the most valued of the chalcedony, a member of the quartz family. The translucent bluish green stone derives its colour from the presence of nickel.
