Dating to circa 1932, the present reference 77 reflects Patek Philippe’s early rectangular wristwatch production, a period during which case form played a defining role in design.
The yellow gold case, with its elongated proportions, is paired with a silvered dial featuring Breguet numerals and subsidiary seconds. Powered by the calibre 9-90, the watch embodies the transition from pocket watch aesthetics to wristwatch-specific design language.
