Catalogue EssayPocket watches have a long and rich history dating back to the late 15th century, and today’s modern timepieces are fully imbued with the genius and innovations of those masters who preceded them. The repeat function was developed in the late 17th century when the Englishman Daniel Quare invented a striking mechanism for the hours and quarters, while in the 18th century the Englishman Thomas Mudge developed the minute repeating mechanism. By the late 18th century, Abraham Louis Breguet replaced the typical “bell” repeater with the now familiar gong mechanism, which allowed watch makers to streamline the case, making a slimmer compact watch. The present watch, movement number 97’357 is a wonderful example of the skill and quality of Swiss horology at its best. Patek Philippe creates a strong masculine appeal with white enamel dial, Breguet numerals and outer red Arabic markers. The minute repeater has a modern contemporary feel, and research indicates Patek Philippe made approximately 3600 repeating mechanisms. During the 19th century most examples were hunter case watches, with the open face watch model becoming en vogue in 20th century. In excellent original condition and fresh to the market, this minute repeating pocket watch is a timepiece for all collectors especially who appreciate the history of Patek Philippe, their technical prowess and quality.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
