- Identity and Case Construction
- Catalogued by Christie's as a yellow gold hunter case pocket watch dating to circa the 1900s, the piece measures 53 mm in diameter. The case features a winding crown and bow loop located at the 3 o'clock position as seen with the front cover opened. The auction house notes that the case bears number 262'614, with seller condition notes describing the hallmarks as crisp and defined alongside surface-level scratches and wear. The inner cuvette features later engraving, reported by the specialist as reading 'Juan F. Indart, Miguel Indart, 15-XII-1948'.
- Dial Presentation and Visible Features
- The visible face displays a white enamel dial signed 'PATEK, PHILIPPE & CIE GENÈVE' below the 12 o'clock position. Hours are indicated by Roman numeral hour markers complemented by blued steel hands. A subsidiary seconds subdial is positioned at 6 o'clock with Arabic numerals. The specialist condition report notes that the dial has hairlines and the hands show signs of aging.
- Mechanical Details and Archival Limitations
- Internally, the timepiece houses a manual-winding movement catalogued under number 151'604. While reported by Christie's as running at the time of cataloguing consistent with its age, the movement was not tested for accuracy, and the internal calibre is not visible in the provided primary photograph. The auction catalogue includes an explicit remark noting that Patek Philippe will not issue an Extract from the Archives for this timepiece. Consequently, the circa 1900s dating rests on cataloguer attribution rather than confirmed manufacturer archive records.
