Period
Circa 1930s
The timepiece features an unusual two-tone construction, combining a broad platinum bezel with a warm 18k pink gold case band, pendant, and bow. The silvered dial is distinctively signed by the New York jeweler Raymond C.
Yard, reading “YARD. PATEK, PHILIPPE & Cie GENÈVE”. It is appointed with applied pink gold baton numerals, complemented by prominent black Arabic numerals at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock positions, alongside a finely graduated outer minute track and matching pink gold hands. Housed in a 43mm diameter case, the watch is powered by a manual-winding movement with 18 jewels. The movement, dial, and case are all signed by Patek Philippe.
This elegant instrument is accompanied by a Patek Philippe leather pochette, highlighting the historical collaboration between the renowned Geneva manufacture and its distinguished international retail partners during the pre-war era.
