A bold study in art deco aesthetics the present Patek Philippe pocket watch is visually arresting. The thin platinum case and bow are finely hand chiseled and enameled with a leaf motif most probably by Jacot Guillarmod, one of Geneva’s most prominent artisans from the first half of the 20th century who was specialized in case decoration for the likes of Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe.

The champagne dial features beautiful Arabic numerals in the purest art deco style, leaf hands adding the last touch to this gem of horological design.

In wonderful condition the present pocket watch would be a stellar addition to the collection of the distinguished collector appreciating the mix of fine crafts and horology.
