About This Watch

Vintage. No box/papers. This Patek Philippe pocket watch is in good condition & only has fine micro surface hairlines throughout the simple polished case with a few dings on the case bend. There are a few tiny dents on the back cover but otherwise the hinges are good & snaps tightly with no major scratches. A good polish can make it look all shiny again but it belongs to an owner so we left it as it is & some collectors don't like polished cases.

The dial appears to be an old restored work by factory or at least done by a professional. Signature & markings are good as original.

The retailer's name "Haussman & Cie" are added on & appears to be hand written, it could be non-original but as it's just a retailer's name, it does not add or devalue it much here.

Haussman & Co is one of the oldest watch maker & retailer having established by a German in 1794 in Rome, Italy. They started with clocks & has a long relationship with Patek Philippe. Some watches that were sold through their stores bears their had their company's name printed on the dials like this example here. This was also a common practice by Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Gübelin etc.

This is a very well priced Patek Philippe watch not to be missed. The movement is clean & works fine but will benefit with a servicing @ your own expense.

Very well priced for a solid gold Patek Philippe pocket watch!
