Object description

Case and Dial Design

The pocket watch features a 48mm hunter case constructed from white gold. The design incorporates a push-button mechanism operated via the 'onion' crown, which allows the hunter cover to open and reveal the dial. A loop is attached to the crown for utility. The bezel is polished, contrasting with the overall form of the case, and the watch utilizes an acrylic crystal.

The dial is finished in white ceramic, providing a base for the painted black Roman numeral indices. The minute track follows a railroad design along the outer edge. The handset consists of matching white gold spade hands for hours and minutes, while a sub-seconds display is situated directly above the 6 o'clock position.

Movement and Functionality

The watch is powered by the Patek Philippe Calibre 17 SAV PS. This is a hand-wound mechanical movement specifically intended for this reference. The caliber is designed to provide timekeeping through the center handset and the subsidiary seconds complication.

As a hand-wound caliber, the watch requires manual operation of the crown for winding.
