1869 PATEK PHILIPPE Antique Bespoke Midsize 40mm Hunter Case Pocket Watch - 18K Gold. Bespoke Patek with Gorgeous Dial and Case.

It is a bespoke piece exclusively Made for Mrs. Jimmie Pindell, May 12th, 1869 by Patek Philippe & Co. Owning any Patek is a true distinction..

Imagine owning a custom made one? Patek Philippe hand-engraved the case in stunning vermicelli detail accented by geometrical designs on the bands, so the watch doesn't have a single large non-decorated exterior surface. The dial is a stunning two-tone fancy dial with cream center and intricate light blue gray decoration somewhat suggestive of a Fleur de Lis pattern. It is feminine and sophisticated. Powering it is a Patek caliber with distinctive moustache counterpoise on the lever, wolf's tooth gearing, capped escape wheel and frosted gilt finishing.

It is all original with a numbers matching case and is in very pleasing original condition appearing to have been worn seldom and carefully in appreciation of its quality and value and then safely stored away. It has not recently been polished if ever. Its untouched original porcelain dial is in just short perfect mint condition. Its case presents as close to mint. One of our watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
