With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch in 1894 and its subsequent sale on 10 March 1899.
The first example of such a rare and beautiful watch traces back to 1874. According to our research, less than 40 examples have been identified from the market thus far, further enhancing the extraordinarily rarity of the present watch.
This watch represents the "state-of-the-art" in watch manufacturing from the heydays of ultra complicated timepieces, uniting the three main complications established at that time: the perpetual calendar for the astronomical functions, the chronograph for timing purposes and the distinct minute repeating for the acoustic pleasure.
The present lot stands out by its overall very good and original condition.
