Catalogue Note
The accompanying Extract from the Patek Philippe Archives confirms that this watch was manufactured in 1863 and sold on August 1st, 1864.
The present lot is one of the earliest keyless winding pocket watches manufactured by Patek Philippe. The movement is a LeCoultre calibre 19''' known as the 'Revolver', due to the shape of the central bridge. The arms to the case back are those of Conquéré de Montrrison, Gascogne.
