A gentleman's distinguished minute repeating Geneva pocket watch with split seconds chronograph, sold on 06/14/1894 - with Patek Philippe extract from the archives
Case: 18k rose gold. Dial: enamel. Movm.: brigde movement, 2 hammers / 2 gongs, gold screw compensation balance.
This is an extremely rare Geneva pocket watch with minute repeater; the case is polished and decorated with an exquisitely executed monogram "DJL". Unfortunately we have no way of discovering who this original buyer was. The fine white enamel dial has Roman numerals and blued hands. The chronograph is activated through a pusher in the case band, the repeater is released by a slide. The movement features two very finely polished hammers and gongs as well as cut and bevelled steel chronograph parts.
