A fine and rare Patek Philippe 18k Gold Pocket Watch from 1874 with a letter from Patek Philippe attesting the history of the watch and intention to buy this timepiece for their museum.
During the 1860's and '70's, Patek Philippe produced only fewer than approximately twenty watches per day (contrast this with Omega and other fine watch manufacturers that produced 500 - 1,200 pieces per day) making original examples very rare and collectable.
