  • 1930s Patek Philippe Platinum Two-Tone Sector Enamel Dial Open Face Pocket Watch
    By Patek Philippe
    Located in New york, NY
    An Rare 1930s Patek Philippe Platinum & Pink Gold Roman Numeral Two Tone Enamel Sector Dial Open Face “Omega- Form” Bow Ultra-Thin Pocket Watch Basic Dimensions & Specifications ⁃ 48mm Case Dimensions - 5mm Case Thickness - Two Tone Enamel Sector Dial with Pink Gold Roman Numeral Numbering System for Hours & Enamel Outer Register Markers for Minutes - Recently Serviced & Perfect Working Condition Additional Special Features - Rare “Omega- Form” Bow - Case Hallmarked with Keymark for Ed Wenger SA - one of Geneva’s most accomplished case makers at the time - Two Tone “Bulls Eye” Dark Grey On Silver Enamel Dial - Ultra-Thin Movement Technology & Case Design Concept Catalog Note The present timepiece is very rare special 1930s Platinum Patek Philippe pocket watch designed by one of the most celebrated Patek Philippe casemakers of all time- Ed Wenger SA (indicated by the case Keymark # 1 on the inside case back). Furthermore, the present design concept noticeably stands out from other Patek Philippe pocket watch commissions for a variety of reasons making it extremely desirable amongst even the most seasoned collectors as it not only possesses an excellent pedigree by casemaker, but also exhibits many of the most desired attributes with which an open face pocket watch commission could be ordered in this period and by none other than the leading firm, Patek Philippe. With a first look at the case design concept, it is not only an ultra-thin case which required special ultra-thin movement technology for the firm to innovate a movement thin enough to fit into the thinner, sportier styled pocket watch case concept -that is approximately only 5mm in thickness, but also extremely interesting is the very obviously noticeable bow design concept located above the 12 position which protects the winding crown and was produced in very limited production number by the firm, known as an “Omega – Form” Bow. Earning its name from its shape, the Omega-Form bow mirrors that of the Greek uppercase letter Omega and is one of the most well-known symbols of all time adding further allure to this piece on a variety of levels. * For reference to the Omega Form Bow, Please refer to photo on listing. If unfamiliar, with the meaning or symbolism associated with the Omega Symbol, The Omega is the last letter in the Ancient Greek alphabet and commonly associated with Alpha and Omega to represent the beginning and end of all things. In addition, the meaning of Omega commonly signifies something major, final or the ultimate in greatness or accomplishment of greatness as many view it also as the endless time that is running out. Having this specific relationship to elements of time itself, the Omega form Bow design concept is precisely the type of slight twist on the traditional pocket watch design concept that one would expect to find from one of the most talented and famed Patek Philippe master...
