This early Patek Philippe pocket watch is a true masterpiece that embodies both artistry and historical significance. It is a grand complication timepiece, showcasing a remarkable combination of features including a perpetual calendar, a chronograph activated by a push button on top of the crown, a minute repeater activated by a slide on the left side case band, and a moon phase display at 12 o'clock on the dial. Even by today's standards, achieving a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and chronograph in a single watch is an exceptional feat, making such pieces exceedingly rare.


The fact that this pocket watch has been well-preserved for over 120 years is truly remarkable. Its production dates back to 1889, and it was delivered to Peña y Sobrino, an esteemed Madrid retailer, as confirmed by the engraving on the cuvette as well as on the dial, where the name of the retailer appears instead of the Patek Philippe signature.


The present extraordinary lot is offered in overall very good condition, featuring an elegant and very rare enamel dial adorned with concentric Arabic numerals and a pink gold case with an elaborated monogram confirmed by the Extract of archives, both elements that make it even more special.
