Patek Philippe Genève, Movement No. 47446, Case No. 47446, 51 mm, 119 g, circa 1872
A gold Geneva hunting case pocket watch with chronograph, sold on 1874/06/06 - with Patek Philippe extract from the archives
Case: 18k rose gold, monogrammed on both sides. Dial: enamel. Movm.: bridge movement, gold screw compensation balance.
Patek Philippe only very rarely produces dials with letters instead of the numerals; the letters on this dial form the name ALB(ER)T GALLATIN. Albert Gallatin was United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1801 to 1814. He died in 1849, which was two decades before this watch was finished. It is unclear whether there is any connection between the politician and this timepiece.
