Description
This is an automatically translated text.
The object of this offer is an absolutely sensational, museum-quality artifact from the world's luxury watch manufacturer: Patek Philippe, one of the rarest Patek Phillipe watches ever, the kind that only comes onto the market once every few decades

A possibly unused Second Morte trial model with existing pedigree extract as proof of authenticity

To demonstrate the value of this museum artifact, it is worth mentioning that a largely identical sister model fetched a hammer price of an incredible

399,500 Swiss francs = 417,000 euros

achieved. If you add the 30% commission mark-up, the buyer (24 years ago!!!) paid 520,000 Swiss francs / 543,000 euros plus VAT on the commission.

This Second Morte experimental series with 2 barrels and thus independently startable central seconds (Second Morte) was never produced in series. The model is so rare that a few examples known worldwide are exhibited in the Patek Philippe watch museum in Geneva

Patek Philippe is the best and therefore most valuable watch manufacturer in the world, whose complicated pocket watches regularly achieve multiple seven-figure hammer prices at specialist auctions. As far as we know, one example of this small experimental series has not come onto the market or been offered at an international auction for 24 years

Patek Philippe never mass-produced pocket watches with second morte and 2 barrels in the 19th century; only a few examples of this experimental series are known worldwide

Description:

Technically almost unique rarity, Patek Philippe Seconde Morte, test series from 1868, No. 27271, with extract from the pedigree book

Case diameter: 56mm, approx. 167g, 18K gold à-goutte, extremely heavy case design, case with Patek Philippe hallmark and serial number 27271, movement glazing, extremely rare anchor chronometer caliber with 2 barrels, independent stop seconds, can be triggered and stopped by pushers in the olive, movement number also 27271

Perfectly preserved enamel dial, blued steel hands, back cover with monogram ne, almost as new, fantastic condition, fully functional. The watch is supplied with an extract from the 2022 register, which confirms its originality. This is one of the rarest Patek Philippe pocket watches ever

The movement design shown here was built in very small numbers in 1867 and 1868 as an experimental series. All the watches known to us have 27,000 numbers. Some watches were also equipped with the Foudroyante complication. Some of them are now in the Patek Philippe Museum


The almost unique artifact runs - just like the Second Morte function on and through (accuracy not tested)

ez: 1* - very best collector's condition, possibly never used, no recognizable signs of age or wear, originality proven by extract from the master book
