This handsome gold pocket watch by Patek Philippe is an exemplary specimen of superior Swiss workmanship. 18K yellow gold encases the timepiece, which tells the time on a white enamel dial with Arabic numerals and subsidiary seconds. Boasting a five-minute repeater, this watch chimes the time with the push of a button, beginning with the hours, and then chiming the number of five-minute intervals past the hour. This complex mechanism allows for far more accuracy than a quarter repeater, which merely chimes the nearest quarter hour. Ruby end stones on the lever and escape wheel add luxurious touches to this watch's skillfully crafted workings. A classic Patek Philippe creation, it displays the precision and luxury for which the firm is so celebrated. Marked on movement "Philippe & Cie / No. 112055 / Genève, Suisse / Mermod & Jaccard's, St. Louis" Case hallmarked "PPCo" and "750" Circa 1950 1 7/8" diameter
