This is a unique, unknown and recently discovered Patek Philippe pocketwatch from 1894. More or less, this is the pocketwatch equivalent of the recent and current Patek Philippe reference 5208. The Caliber 97443 is a Perpetual Calendar without leap year (the years make quarter of day more, like the earth), including chronograph, and with 24 hour repeater and five minute repeater, which means: If you are at 23h38, the watch will ring 23 hits for the hours, 2 hits for the quarters and one hit for the five minutes. Exceptional and in perfect condition, LNIB ;), case number: 212850. The watch went for 2 million Swiss Francs without taxes. Bought by the Geneva Patek museum.
Check the pics to see the exceptional piece of work, especially the anglage and movement overall finishing.
