With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1902 and its subsequent sale on 14 October 1905. Furthermore delivered with copy of Patek Philippe servicing invoice report dated 7 February 1974 confirming production of the present watch with 60 minutes counter in 1902 and its subsequent sale on 14 October 1905 to Spaulding for the sum of SFr. 1,400.
Fresh to the market, this split seconds chronograph is distinguished by the exceedingly rare feature of a 12 hour register to the lower half of the dial, position normally used for the constant seconds dial, most likely added by special request of the firms' retailer Spaulding & Co. in Chicago. Only two other watches fitted with a 12 hour register are known to exist to date, including one on permanent exhibition in Geneva's prestigious Patek Philippe Museum. The dial and case styles of the three watches are however different, hence rendering them all unique.
