LOT 113:
Patek Philippe Pocket Repeater Split Second
It is maybe the finest movement in this auction. This Patek Philippe 47mm rose gold pocket watch is fitted with a 17 lignes caliber, with serial number #174 515, manufactured in 1915.
The reason why this movement is so beautiful is that it features a fly-back hand as well as a minute repeater, the overall having been manufactured with virtuosity. It somewhat reminds us of the caliber 97443 purchased by the Patek museum more than a year ago, for 200kCHf.
Estimation : 12,000 - 16,000 CHF
Final bid 12 november 2012 @ Christie's Geneva: 52,500 CHF
