1912 PATEK PHILIPPE Shreve & Co. & Antique Mens 44mm Pocket Watch - 18K Gold
Beautiful All Original Condition - Fully Serviced - 1 Year Warranty
The beautiful and very fine pocket watch showcased in today's offering is an original example of one of Patek's early stem wound and stem set watches.
It is an "Extra Flat" piece made exclusively for Shreve & Co., the prestigious San Francisco retailer, California's oldest jewelry retailer who before the turn of the century became only the second jeweler in the United States to represent Patek Philippe in 1887. As long as the highest-grade of Swiss timepieces have been provided to the United States, Shreve & Co. has been at the forefront.
It's marvelous and extraordinarily high-grade ultra-thin movement enables the complete watch to measure a mere 8mm thick including the crystal at its thickest point. A thinner mineral crystal would even slightly reduce the thickness.
The centerpiece of this beauty is its untouched original gold dial which gives the watch a strong gold presence. It's accentuated by the classically plain polished case which nicely compliments the dial.
The extremely fine Patek caliber had eight adjustments for incredibly precise timekeeping. It has a wonderful inscription of provenance tucked away inside in the case back - loving inscribed from "Mother - Nov. 30, 1912" and has a number of hand-engraved watchmaker's marks suggesting it was carefully maintained.
It is all-original with matching signature on both movement and dial that it was made for Shreve & Co.
We were fortunate to acquire it in very pleasing original condition.
Its original ultra-thin Patek case presents in excellent condition with one pin prick indention on the edge of the case back and only fairly light wear. Its untouched original dial is in better than near mint condition with only slight aging.
One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it making it ready for immediate enjoyment. It is running very strong and true, keeping time on par with a new Patek in our testing recording position.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
If you would like us to obtain an Extract from the Patek Philippe archives for you please inquire.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

Patek Philippe
It shouldn’t be surprising that a Patek Philippe holds the world auction record for a watch ($31.2 million for a Patek Grandmaster Chime, sold at Christie’s). Known for impeccable craftsmanship and some of the most complicated timepieces ever created, the brand is considered by many to be the height of fine watchmaking. Collectors simply love Patek Philippe watches.
The house was founded in Geneva in 1839 by Polish expats Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek. Czapek left the firm, and in 1845, Patek partnered with French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe. It was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Catering to the glitterati of Europe, the pair counted among their clients Tolstoy, Pope Pius IX and Queen Victoria, as well as Countess Koscowicz of Hungary, for whom they created the first Swiss-made wristwatch in 1868. They also had their eye on the American market and in 1851 entered an arrangement with Tiffany & Co. still in effect today.
During the Great Depression, brothers Jean and Charles Stern, who had previously supplied Patek Philippe with watch dials, bought the company, and it continues to be run by the Stern family today.
Under the Sterns, the house has developed some of its most famous models, including the Calatrava, an elegantly minimal dress watch introduced in 1932 and named for the Calatrava Cross (the company’s logo since 1887), and the Nautilus, the brand’s first sports watch, conceived by legendary designer Gérald Genta in 1976.
Despite the house’s longevity, it’s rumored that it has manufactured fewer than a million Patek watches, making each one all the more coveted. (The brand's pieces are understandably attractive to counterfeiters — make sure you know how to spot a fake Patek Philippe watch.)
