Swiss Patek Philippe Gondolo Geneve 1913 hand wind pocket watch and 14ct rose gold / steel German ‘Marraige’ watch case with diamond set crown
with Original Jewellers sales invoice for £5250 and the following explanation of how they ‘married’ the watch:
“A truly amazing and utterly unique time machine.
A marriage watch is a common term used when an antique pocket watch movement is taken and re-cased in a modern wristwatch case
In this instance we have used a German hand made modern 14ct rose gold and stainless steel case with a sapphire exhibition case back.
The crown has been set with a beautiful, white and very clean diamond and this watch also benefits from a Mother Of Pearl dial with sub second dial and gold hands.
This is truly one of the most impressive marraige watches that I have ever seen or owned. No expense has been spared.
It is not for the feint hearted, measuring a whopping 55mm wide including the crown and 60mm high from lug to tip, The case is 12mm deep.
A real conversation piece that will be talked about wherever it travels. “
The patek signed movement dates to circa 1913 and remains in immaculate order and is keeping time, serviced in 2013.
Leather strap (used).
With
- 2012 insurance valuation from East Grimstead Watch Company Value £10,000
- original sales receipts
- white luxury gift box
- jewellers documentation & photographs
We agree this will certainly be a conversation piece, in stunning rose gold, steel, mother of pearl with diamond crown and with a huge case size of 55mm its a watch that will attract a lot of attention.
with such a big crown it only needs around 10 winds to feel wound, do not overwind, always stop winding when starts to feel tight.
Condition :
Very good. Scratch to glass at 11 (see photo), not noticeable when worn. Light marks from wear no major damage see photos. Serviced 2013 and running well keeping time.
