1930's PATEK PHILIPPE Vintage Mens Midsize Rectangular Art Deco Watch - Platinum & Diamond
Very Fine & Rare - Beautiful Condition with Buckle - 1 Year Warranty
We are pleased to offer the very fine, rare, and timelessly classic Art Deco Patek Philippe wristwatch showcased in today's offering. Made for the U.S. market, this special watch exemplifies the sophisticated refinement associated with Art Deco Patek Philippe wristwatches.
It features an extremely elegant original faceted platinum case and striking diamond dial.
It is powered by its original illustrious small rectangular Patek Philippe 8-80 movement. Launched in 1935, the 8-80 was produced in a total quantity of 3,918 movements and used until the 1960's.
Extremely high grade, it has eight adjustments - five for chronometer positions and three for heat, cold, and even isochronism. Isochronism is the amount of wind left in the movement. Most watches slow down slightly as their power reserve moves toward empty. That is not the case with this watch - it is very high-grade.
We were fortunate acquire it in such beautiful condition. Its original case, made for Patek by a contractor for the U.S. market, has never been polished and shows very little wear. It has crisp facets and gorgeous lines. Its dial presents bright and clean.
Four of our Master Watchmakers worked for the last two and half years restoring the movement of this special watch to breathe new life into it (restoration value $1495). It is keeping very accurate time. A light click can be felt when winding on occasion that doesn't affect its function. If you would like us to fabricate near factory quality replacement parts for it, please inquire but be aware that it takes much time and incurs cost.
It comes equipped with a very short gray vintage strap that appears to be original and is fitted with what appears to be the watch's original Patek buckle - a longer new strap could be installed if needed.
For the finishing touch, we have detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

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.)
