Lot 180

Patek Philippe Genève, Movement No. 927085, Case No. 299566, Ref. 96, 31 mm, circa 1945

A gentleman's elegant Geneva wristwatch in an early Calatrava case
Case: 18k gold, push back, 18k gold buckle. Dial: silvered. Movm.: bridge movement, gold screw compensation balance.
The dial of this watch is exquisite in a very low-key way; it is matte silver with applied gold hour indexes and has an outer minute track with fine silver-coloured dots. The hour, minutes and seconds hands are gold and corresponds with the case. The 31 mm 18k gold case is relatively small by today’s standards but stylish and marvellously sculpted.
