Patek Philippe
This vintage minute repeating wristwatch was manufactured in 1948 and
sold in 1950. There are many aspects that render this watch incredibly
important. Firstly, we look at the dial configuration and the oversized
subsidiary seconds. Secondly, the unique case design with long
downturned lugs and oversized minute repeating trigger together with a
huge oversized crown. The look is quite unforgettable. The case is in
extraordinarily original condition still retaining its original satin
finish. The hallmarks are as crisp as it could be. There is even the
original 18k stamp on the outside of the case back. The Cartier hand
stamped reference numbers are incredibly easy to read and the calibre of
the movement is constructed in a way that is previously unrecorded by
the firm. Not only is this bespoke minute repeater unique, it is
retailed by Cartier, which is confirmed on the Cartier certificate.
