DESCRIPTION:
Excellent Antique Heirloom Patek Philippe Demi-Hunter Case 18K Solid Gold Pocket Watch originally presented in 1871. It was made in an era when Patek Philippe was trying to establish itself as one of the premier watchmaking brands of the world through the excellence of their products. There are few examples like it since it also comes in an original 18K yellow gold Demi-Hunter Case hallmarked with PP&Co inside the front cover and fully signed with Patek Philippe & Co Geneve on the dustcover. The movement itself is finished in gilt which is consistent with an 1870’s Patek Philippe with the signature highly curved bridges. It has very high end features such as wolf teeth winding wheels, counterpoised mustache lever fork and large solid gold screws on the balance wheel.
CONDITION REPORT:
Condition-wise the watch runs and sets normally, but we cannot guarantee any functional or mechanical elements as this is an antique timepiece over 100 years in age. We recommend for any and all antique pocket watches to undergo service by a trusted watchmaker to extend its usage life. Cosmetically the front cover of the demi-hunter case has some mild dings and dents when viewed from certain light angles. There is a deep and sizable dent on the side of the case band toward the 7 o’clock position. Other parts of the case band has some minor dings and dents as well. The enamel Roman Numeral hour markers are nearly all intact except for 4 o’clock IIII where there is a slight bit of chipping. The dial has no hairline or chip that we could see and the hands appear to be all original. The outer cover observation crystal is glass and the inner crystal is plastic, both have some scratches on them. Rest of the watch is in good cosmetic shape for a watch over 150+ years old. Diameter is 51mm, it is quite heavy weighing at 100.6 grams total.PLEASE NOTE: ALL OF THE LISTING PICTURES ARE OF THE ACTUAL WATCH AND ALL OF THE DESCRIPTION PERTAINS TO THE ACTUAL SPECIMEN.
