Product Introduction

Patek Philippe Pocket Watch Antique Manual Mechanical 18K Solid Gold 46mm 72g

Patek Philippe pocket watch (CHRONOMETRO GONDOLO) made around 1910. It is a watch brand that is positioned at the world's highest peak and is highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Despite its popularity, it is rare to find Patek Philippe pocket watches available for sale. However, we are pleased to announce that we have a limited quantity available for the first time in a long while.

Increasing Value as an Antique Mechanical Watch

The current weak yen and the record-high gold prices have significantly increased the value of antique mechanical watches. These timepieces have become increasingly popular as a means of diversifying assets, possibly due to the effects of war. The price of this Patek Philippe pocket watch has soared, reaching 1.5 to 2 times what it was 10 years ago. Despite the rising prices, we aim to keep the price as reasonable as possible while ensuring that it reaches the hands of those who understand and appreciate it as a valuable asset.

Elegant Dial and Impeccable Condition

The dial of this Patek Philippe pocket watch is made of high-end porcelain and clearly bears the inscription "Patek Philippe & Co." While many products from this era may lack a clear brand name, the presence of the Patek Philippe mark enhances its desirability. The elegant Roman numeral time markers add to its timeless charm. The watch is in remarkably pristine condition with no signs of aging, use, hairlines, or chips. It would make an exceptional gift, and we offer complimentary gift wrapping upon request.

Precious 18K Gold Case

The case of this pocket watch is an open-face case made of solid 18k gold. It exhibits a distinct texture that exudes warmth and sophistication, different from the glittering solid gold seen in modern designs. The case is engraved with clear stamps indicating "PPCO" and "18K." With a diameter of approximately 46mm and weighing around 72.2g, this size is particularly popular among Japanese collectors. While the case shows signs of use and scratches from aging, it has not been polished, preserving its authentic character. We encourage collectors to appreciate it in its original state as a remarkable antique piece.

Smooth Opening and Closing Mechanism

The opening and closing mechanism of the case is smooth, ensuring a secure closure without any gaps. We recommend using a dedicated opener instead of your nails to maintain its integrity. The reliable closure protects the delicate movement inside the watch and adds to its durability.

Exquisite Movement and Overhaul

The movement of this Patek Philippe pocket watch is in an exceptionally beautiful state, as depicted in the images. It features Patek's signature wolf teeth specification, and the engravings remain clear. Although it is a very old item, approximately 100 years old, it is still operational. In August 2022, it underwent an overhaul in the United States, ensuring excellent functionality around the crown. Even beginners can easily set the time and wind the mainspring. As a reference, the daily difference is approximately +15 seconds when placed flat, indicating remarkable accuracy. Please note that the daily difference is not covered by the warranty, but the movement is guaranteed for three months after delivery. Regular overhauls are recommended for long-term practicality and usage.

Size and Weight

The Patek Philippe Pocket Watch has a diameter of approximately 46mm (excluding the crown) and a thickness of about 12mm. It weighs 72.2g, providing a sense of weight and luxury when held in hand. This size is particularly popular among Japanese collectors, offering a perfect balance between elegance and wearability.

A Timeless Investment

"I want to own a Patek mechanical watch even if it's just once." For those who share this sentiment, we encourage you to consider not only new items but also antique pieces like this one. The fact that this watch has maintained its beauty and condition for over 100 years is a testament to its lasting value. Patek Philippe watches are often regarded as lifetime companions, capable of being passed down to future generations. They are not just timepieces but cherished heirlooms that appreciate in value over time.

An Unmatched Combination

This Patek Philippe pocket watch stands out with its unique combination of size, beauty, and craftsmanship. It offers a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of history at a comparatively affordable price when compared to modern mechanical watches. We encourage you to seize this chance to add a truly exceptional timepiece to your collection.
