PATEK PHILIPPE. AN 18K WHITE GOLD MANUAL WIND WRISTWATCH Date: Purchased 31st October, 1935 Movement: Jeweled manual wind, No. 825'313 Dial: Silvered Case: Rectangular-shaped, snap on back, No. 607'922 Strap/Bracelet: Endangered species Buckle/Clasp: 18k white gold buckle Signed: Case, dial, movement and clasp Size: 30.5 x 23.5mm Accompaniments: Maker's Extract from the Archive Footnotes: Before Patek Philippe introduced models designated by reference numbers, watches were made with movement serial numbers and calibers being the differentiation between the types of watches made. The present lot, a well preserved rectangular watch, is accompanied by a recently issued Extract from the Archives, confirming that the watch was produced in 1930 and sold in October 1935. In addition to the Extract, the back of the watch bears an engraving to François Conly from Patek Philippe, and our research indicates that the original owner was an employee of the company and likely received this for a milestone at the business. This specific model is also featured in Collecting Patek Philippe Wristwatches by Guido Mondani, volume two, on page 20. **Potential bidders who intend to export this lot are advised that certain permits may be required for import or export of the endangered species strap (i.e. alligator and crocodile) to the state of California and any non-US countries due to CITES regulations.
